The original faerie abilities could be learned by releasing | The original faerie abilities could be learned by releasing bottled faeries. These abilities were divided into six types, each of which corresponded to one of the six types of bottled faerie that existed at the time. The type of ability that a Neopet learned when releasing a bottled faerie depended on the type of [[faerie]] that was being released. For example, opening a ''Bottled Water Faerie'' would teach a Neopet a water faerie ability. | ||
In order to learn an specific ability, a [[Neopet]] had to meet the minimum level required for that ability and also had to have already learned all the preceding abilities of the same type as the desired ability. For example, in order to learn the ''Haste'' ability, a Neopet would have had to be at least level 8 and must have also already learned both the ''Spark'' ability and the ''Air Shield'' ability. If a Neopet released a bottled faerie but did not meet the requirements to learn a new ability, the released faerie would simply fly away and have no effect. | In order to learn an specific ability, a [[Neopet]] had to meet the minimum level required for that ability and also had to have already learned all the preceding abilities of the same type as the desired ability.
