TL;DR: According to (you need an account to see links) by NT on Reddit, it seems like it's currently impossible to get the King Skarl's Charm unless you use the old layout. Essentially, by just adding a "/" to the end of the link on the beta page.

I've copy pasted the entire post he wrote here just in case it gets deleted.

It also looks like you can use the script to tell jokes if you use the old layout as well!

Just so I'm clear, has access to the source code from "a few years ago", and a search around the forum seems to suggest that the Grumpy King beta replacement took place around mid 2021 (which lines up with the editorial he referenced), so has anybody confirmed that the information he's presenting is based on a recent look at the game's source code, or is he just referring to bugs present in leaked source code from "a few years ago"?

I love a bit of gossip for fun's sake, but neo_truths is prone to embellishing his insight and omitting verifiable details. A snippet of old code is interesting to look at, but how old is it, and is the information reported on it relevant to us now?

Presenting this as something fresh and useful for all of us to learn from is a bit sensational.

So Its STILL IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A CHARM

The only remaining question is, how did someone actually get one? Because I was very sure at the time that...

You're right. And to answer your question...

Dude, this is Neopets. The obvious answer is the answer - they were generated and likely purchased by the players that have them in their album.

It's really embarrassing that when the Neo userbase wants to know something, they go and ask NT to once again look into places we're not supposed to have access to for information.

People on board 7 were discussing the legitimacy of a user who bought this item based on his findings. Most of what he posts are close to glorified witch hunts.

I don't doubt that he has database access, but source code access is what I'm curious about. He said that the code he has was from a few years ago, so that would mean that pieces like this aren't necessarily accurate anymore. Only the Neopets team could say for sure, but it wouldn't benefit them to indulge this stuff. I don't mean to sound like a contrarian, but I'm not a big fan of the ambiguity of details like that when it comes to insights. That's the difference between a tabloid and a credible news source in my opinion.

thumpd's was generated. In fact, it wasn't thumpd himself who generated it but someone else.
thumpd acquired the charm off-site along with a couple of other items (mostly books, still in his gallery).

ashley_ru's charm was legit, and it ended up being sold but I'm not sure to whom.
sell_me_stamps bought one of the two charms.

According to n_t anyways.

Pardon my ignorance, as I only tuned into the charm item history after the release of the avatar. So, two of them were legitimately earned? Do you know how they were released?

Should the UN's be maybe blurred out just in case there are lurkers?

[Bat]

Wrapped it around a spoiler for now.
Is there a tag to blur out text I'm not aware of?

You would either need to remove the usernames mentioned in the post, or redact the usernames in accompanying pictures with an image editing program. We don't have an option for that in the forum.

[j03]

No need to blur these names. It's all publicly available information, and even if they belonged to someone on this forum, no one has stepped forward to claim ownership...
