Anchor Management is one of Neopets’ unique “daily” activities that lets players safeguard Krawk Island’s anchors from the fearsome Krawken. Set in motion after a 2011 plot event that saw the island disappear into the ocean, this feature encourages players to engage daily for potential rewards like Neopoints and rare items. But there’s a twist — you’ll need courage and a good aim!

The Story Behind Anchor Management

In mid-2011, Krawk Island vanished! The culprit? A massive, tentacled beast known as the Krawken. Neopets users participated in a grand scavenger hunt to help recover pieces of the island, eventually piecing it back together. However, the Governor of Krawk Island called on players to prevent future threats. Thus, Anchor Management was born, allowing players to defend Krawk Island by firing cannons at lurking threats from the deep sea.

How to Access Anchor Management

You can find Anchor Management through Krawk Island’s Governor’s Mansion link on the map. Once there, the Governor will set you on your mission: protecting the anchors that keep Krawk Island tethered to the ocean floor.

Note: Anchor Management is a “main account only” activity because it yields Neopoints and items, so avoid using side accounts to participate.

Anchor Management Gameplay: “Fire!!!” or “Flee!!!”

Upon arriving, you’ll face the massive Krawken, lurking among the anchors and ropes. You have two choices:

1. Fire!!! – Engage the Krawken by firing the cannon. Success means you repel the beast and gain a random prize!
2. Flee!!! – Avoid confrontation and leave without a reward.

Anchor Management Prizes

Every time you successfully defend the island, you’ll receive a random item or Neopoints as a reward. Here’s a glimpse of some Anchor Management prizes:

---

• Dubloon Coins: Used in various Krawk Island shops.
• Forgotten Shore Map Pieces: Collect all nine pieces to access the Forgotten Shore, an additional source of prizes!
• Pirate-Themed Items: From plushies to pirate morphing potions, add a bit of Krawk Island flair to your inventory.
• Treasure Map Neggs and Other Collectibles: Exclusive collectibles that are sought after by many Neopians.

Rewards change frequently, and some items are rarer than others, so try your luck daily for a chance at unique prizes!

The Anchor Management Strategy

Because this daily has no time limit, you can visit anytime. While some dailies are more predictable, Anchor Management’s random prize system keeps it exciting. However, keep in mind:

• Optimal Use of Items: Some items, such as map pieces, have trading value.
• Collectible Potential: Pirate-themed items and map pieces often become highly desirable collectibles, especially for customization and gallery showcases.
