Faerie Quest
- This article is about quests given by the full spectrum of Faeries. For quests given by specific faeries, see Illusen's Glade or Jhudora's Bluff.
Faerie Quests are quests about retrieving certain items for certain faeries without using the Shop Wizard. Different faeries ask for different items, and give different rewards. Before The Faeries' Ruin, these quests were given out by Random Event, however on 7 February 2011 they were relaunched with an on-demand system, where the user could be issued up to one quest per day, until 24 February, after which they will return to being issued randomly.
There is no time limit for a Faerie Quest.
History
Before the events of The Faeries' Ruin, certain elemental faeries (dubbed Uber Faeries), the Faerie Queen, the Fountain Faerie and the Space Faerie would sometimes give quests out to players as random events. They asked for certain items to be retrieved without the use of the Shop Wizard, and gave certain rewards (see below to a random one of the user's pets. The reason they needed these items was unclear.
During the events of the plot, however, Faerieland fell, and when Faerie Quests were relaunched on 7 February, Fyora explained that the faeries needed the items to prepare magical spells to restore the city. Between 7 February and 24 February, these quests were given out daily on demand. The faeries began to give stat rewards only to the user's active pet at this time.
After the relaunch, the Shop Wizard also began explaining why he couldn't aid the player - because of "[a]ncient laws of magic".
Quest types
There are eleven types of faeries that can give Faerie Quests. The six elemental faeries each ask for a certain type of item, and each reward a certain stat boost. Following the post-The Faeries' Ruin update, this stat reward is given to the user's active Neopet - before, it was given randomly to any of their pets.
- Air Faerie: asks for Grooming items, increases speed by two points;
- Dark Faerie: asks for Toys, increase hit points by two points;
- Earth Faerie: asks for Magic Items, lowers hunger to bloated, full heals the pet, and increases its weight by 1 lb;
- Fire Faerie: asks for Clothes, increase strength by two points;
- Light Faerie: asks for Collectable Cards, increases level by two points;
- Water Faerie: asks for Books, increases defence by two points.
There are five other faeries who can give out Faerie Quests. The Crafting Faerie was introduced on 7 February 2011. She is a Dark Faerie called Delina. The Battle Faerie had been introduced before the update, but only started giving out quests on 7 February.
Three other faeries also ask for items on rarer occasions. They are:
- Battle Faerie: asks for Battledome equipment;
- Crafting Faerie: asks for an NC Mall item, and in return will give the user a new NC Mall item;
- Faerie Queen: asks for an item with a rarity between 76 and 89, raises level by one point, increases HP and Strength by three points each;
- Fountain Faerie: asks for an item with a rarity between 94 and 94, gives the user a single use of the Rainbow Fountain. She began giving out quests on 25 June 2003;
- Space Faerie: asks for an item with a rarity between 81 and 94, raises level by four points.
