A '''Bottled Faerie''' is a [[faerie]] that has been captured by [[Balthazar]] the bounty hunter and imprisoned in a small glass bottle. Bottled | A '''Bottled Faerie''' is a [[faerie]] that has been captured by [[Balthazar]] the bounty hunter and imprisoned in a magical small glass bottle. Bottled faeries act as [[item]]s on the [[Neopets]] website. They are sold at [[Neopian Magic Shop|Kauvara's Magic Shop]] and are also sometimes given out as prizes for certain [[game]]s, such as the [[Alien Aisha Vending Machine]]. If a [[Neopet]] releases a faerie from its bottle prison, the newly freed faerie will grant blessings to the Neopet that freed it. These blessings can then be used to purchase [[abilities]] at [http://www.neopets.com/dome/abilities.phtml Aethia's Ability Academy]. | ||

... | Fading bottled faeries are bottled faeries whose magic has weakened. Fading bottled faeries are too weak to grant blessings on their own; however, if a user combines any three fading bottled faeries using the [[Cooking Pot]], they will receive a randomly selected weak bottled faerie. There are six types of fading bottled faeries: | ||

==History== | |||
:''Main article: [[Retired Abilities/Faerie Abilities|Retired Faerie Abilities]]'' | |||
Before the Battledome was closed for renovations on October 17, 2012, bottled faeries worked much differently than they do today. Rather than granting blessings, each bottled faerie instead directly bestowed a single ability unto the Neopet that released it. During this time, abilities were divided into six types, one for each 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. | |||
When the revised ability system went live on February 20, 2013, all of the original faerie abilities were [[retired]], and all the bottled faeries that existed at the time were converted into Fading Bottled Faeries. | |||
