Proper explanation of quest needed, and proper history of the Rainbow Fountain.

The Rainbow Fountain first appeared in 2001 as a sponsor reward. In return for signing up with sponsors players could earn coupons toward painting their pets and changing its species. At this time there were no restrictions on what species or colour your pet could be painted. It is important to note this was before the introduction of pets like the Krawk or Draik, and the only colour exclusive to the Lab Ray was Robot. The Rainbow Fountain was shut down within a few months, as is common for sponsor related Freebies.

In its current state, the Rainbow Fountain is only active after a user has completed a quest for Fountain Faerie. Additionally, there are certain restrictions on which colors can be painted; Robot, Royal, Ice, Sponge, Usuki, Quiguki, 8-Bit, or MSP are all unavailable, even if the pet species is generally available in that color.

Fountain Faerie quests are the least common of the random faerie quests, with many users playing for years without receiving one. The item the Fountain Faerie requests is of high rarity (R 94-96) and, often, expensive. The user then finds the item the faerie requests, returns with it to the Quest Hut and is then granted access to the Rainbow Fountain.

An item called Flask of Rainbow Fountain Water, found while fishing in the Underwater Fishing caves will randomly paint a pet it is used on any colour available for that species (unconfirmed colour results are Invisible, Biscuit, Usuki, Mallow and Zombie).

Suggestions and Notes

  • Compare the cost of the item needed to complete the quest to the cost of the Paint Brush before deciding to complete the quest.
  • A user can paint any of their pets or create a new pet to paint.
  • The user's active pet is the one which will be painted.
  • Painting a Buzz any colour will get you the Buzzin' avatar.
  • There is no time limit to complete the quest but, as with all of the random faerie quests, the user is prevented from utilizing the Shop Wizard until the item is turned in to the Quest Hut or the quest is declined.
  • After turning in the item, there is no time limit to paint a pet. If a second Fountain Faerie Quest becomes available, the first use of the fountain must be used before turning in the item for the second quest.
  • Though it is allowed to offer a Fountain Faerie Custom in a pet trade, it is against the rules for a user to paint another user's pet with their quest reward.
