A Faerie Quest is a special Quest given by a random Random Event where a user is asked to help and and find a certain item for the Faerie. These quests are given out by Faeries.
When a user has a Faerie Quest, they are unable to use the Shop Wizard. Because of this rule many guilds and communities with the purpose of helping others find their items have been created, because while one user is unable to use the Shop Wizard, another can. There is also a Quests section in the Neoboards for this purpose as well. Users which help others this way are sometimes called Quest Partners, and they will search for the item on the Shop Wizard and either:
- Give the username of shop owners who sell the requested item to the user with the quest.
- Buy the item and put it up in the Trading Post for the user.
- Give the item freely to the user.
Quest Partners are usually two users who live in the same or similar time zones. It's against Neopets Terms and Conditions for one user to use a side account to find their quest item.
Upon returning with the specific item to the Faerie Quest HQ, the Faerie will reward a random Neopet of the users (said to be the most deserving of the gift by the faeries). All rewards raise the Neopets stats with the exception of the Earth Faerie and Fountain Faerie quests, which feeds your Neopet to "Bloated" (while also increasing it's weight) and gives a free pass to the Rainbow Fountain, respectively.
Because unlike other quests, such as the Esophagor's or Jhudora's, one cannot use the Shop Wizard while a quest is in progress there is no time limit for the user can get the item. However, as the Shop Wizard cannot be used, it can become a nusiance for people who use the Shop wizard alot.
Penalty
If a user does not wish to complete a quest, they can refuse it at the Faerie Quest HQ. Doing so will penalize the user from having another quest for ten minutes.
How to get a quest
Where could I get a quest? It must be in a random surprise. For example, if you were playing Pyramids, a light faerie could pop up and ask you to give her a crumple horned snorkack.
Faerie Quest Types
Each of the six Faeries asks for a random item of a certain type. Below is a list of each Faerie, what types of items they ask for, and which stat they improve.
- Air Faerie: Asks for Grooming items, raises Speed of a random pet two points.
- Dark Faerie: Asks for Toys, raises HP of a random pet two points.
- Earth Faerie: Asks for Magic Items, feeds one random pet, heals it to full health and increases its weight by 1 lb.
- Fire Faerie: Asks for Clothes, raises Strength of a random pet two points.
- Light Faerie: Asks for Collectable Cards, raises Level of a random pet one point.
- Water Faerie: Asks for Books, raises Defence of a random pet two points.
Three other faeries also ask for items on rarer occasions. They are:
- Faerie Queen: Asks for an item with a rarity between 76 and 89, raises Level of a random pet one point, increases HP and Strength by three points each.
- Space Faerie: Asks for an item with a rarity between 81 and 94, raises Level by of a random pet 4 points.
- Fountain Faerie: Asks for an item with a rarity between 94 and 94, gives the quester a single use of the Rainbow Fountain.
Other Faeries Quests
While Jhudora and Illusen are Faeries who give quests, their quests aren't considered Faerie Quests and follow different rules than Faerie Quests that are offered to you rather than the ones where you find the faerie. Besides being a voluntary quest, they have a time limit of 16 minutes 40 seconds, the shop wizard can be used and their rewards are part of a fixed set of items. If you do a Jhudora quest you can't do an Illusen quest for 12 hours and vice-versa.
Taelia is another Faerie who gives quests but, again, they are timed, you are allowed to use the shop wizard, and she generally asks for more than one item. You may do up to 10 of Taelia's quests on any given day.
Advantages
Almost all Faerie Quests are beneficial, and considering the low price of certain items in quests, are much cheaper in training Neopets. The exception to this is the Earth Faerie, as it is inexpensive to feed and heal your pet, and the magic items she asks for can be quite pricey. It depends on how much you want your pet to gain weight.
Disavantages
You have temporary denied access to the shop wizard, which will cause problems if you're doing something like, say, feeding kadoaties.
Trivia
- In the earlier days of Neopets, Faerie Quests were given on request, but this system was replaced with the random event method, presumably because some users were abusing the privilege.
