World Challenge Gallery Question

[SierraRaven]

I've noticed that in the World Challenge Game Section, we have Gallery 1 and Gallery 2 for each world. My question is this: do we have to fill Gallery 1 before getting map pieces for Gallery 2? What happens if we convert Gallery 1? Will the map pieces fill up #1 again, or will they fill up #2? I've almost got my Lost Desert World Gallery #1 filled up, and would like to get Gallery #2 maps.

Sierra, you'll have to complete and turn in that first WC map to be able to start the second one. That's my understanding. The few times I've managed to get a full WC map I sell them (I have NO luck with maps, scratchcards, etc.).

Thanks for the quick reply. Everconfused! Do you happen to know what type of prizes are awarded for converting our maps? LOL, my luck I'll get 1000 NPs and a Bubble Gun!

I can't remember exactly what the rarities are for prizes, but people have received anything from a codestone to a high-level paint brush like pirate or maraquan. It's so random and so varied that it really is a bit of a gamble. I was lucky enough to get a pink pb on the Neopia Central 1 map I converted.

Remember that once you convert a map, you can never earn pieces for that map again. So if you're looking to make np and don't mind working extra hard, you can collect all the pieces to a map multiple times and sell them, before finally converting your own map.

As for the level 2 prizes, I've never heard from anyone who's converted one but the prizes are supposed to be better. *shrug*

I didn't realize that you can never get map pieces again once you convert a map! Thanks for letting me know... It doesn't really seem right to me for some reason. I think they should let us start over on the maps we convert. Hmmm, now I have to decide whether to sell my pieces or convert them.

This has relevant info on the prizes:

As for myself, I know for a fact that you can't EARN pieces of a 2nd map until you submit the first one... Although whether you can buy a 2nd map and turn it in any time, I don't know.

I've submitted three maps:
Tyrannia1 -> Lu Codestone
Neopia 1 -> Pink Petpet PB
Tyrannia2 -> Five Hundred Dubloon Coin (got it just todaty )

Sierra, I'm kind of in the same situation. I'm sitting on a completed Neopia Central WC map (1) and I'm 5 pieces away from another Haunted Woods map. Now whether to convert and never be able to get another of #1 for those and end up (with my luck) a codestone is just bleh. On the other hand, if I don't convert, I'll never be able to start getting set #2!

I'm pretty sure it's always been that once you convert a map, you can't collect the pieces again via game playing. I've somehow gotten Haunted Woods completed twice (takes me forever) and I sold them both.

Well, I finally did it -- after hours of pondering the pros and cons, I converted my Lost Desert I map. I got 2,000 NPs, plus an Invisible Paint Brush. The Shop Wizard shows the PB selling for around 88,000 NPs... So I guess it would have been better to just sell the map pieces.

HA at least using the SSW I saved some points and wound up with a spotted pb which I can sell for 56-59k big whoop
