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]. | ||

Neopets obtain 1 or 2 blessings each time they release one of the below listed ''weak bottled faeries''.

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 | 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. | ||

*According to a [http://www.neopets.com/neopedia.phtml?neopedia_id=273 Neopedia article], faeries that were trapped inside bottles during the [[Faeries' Ruin]] were protected from Xandra's petrification spell as long as they remained in their bottles. Faeries freed from their bottles turned to stone shortly after being released, however. | |||
