Faerieland Employment Agency
The Faerieland Employment Agency is a quest game that was released on April 2, 2001. In this game, users complete quests, called jobs, by finding a specified number of a certain item within a given time limit. When a user successfully completes a job, they are rewarded with the base number of Neopoints associated with that job. User can also earn bonus neopoints if they complete their assigned job quickly.
There are two types of jobs; basic and super. Basic jobs have no requirements and can be completed by any user. Super jobs give out better rewards than basic jobs, but the user must have a job coupon in order to accept them. New jobs are posted every ten minutes. Users are only allowed to complete 5 jobs per day.
How to Play
After clicking either the Basic Jobs or Super Jobs link on the main page, users will see a list of all the jobs that are currently available along with detailed information about each job. To accept a job, the user must click that jobs' associated Apply for this job link. As soon as a user successfully gets the job, the timer for the job begins counting down. To complete the job, the user must place the required number of the requested item into their inventory and then visit the Agency's Status page.
If the user does not complete the job within time limit, the job will be marked as failed. Basic Jobs can be quit without failure by paying 200 NP.
Job Coupons
Job Coupons are used for Super Jobs, which give a higher base NP award than basic jobs. When a user presented a Job Coupon for a job, it's used as a form of payment, and the user is given back a lower denomination coupon, which continues until the user gives a Green Job Coupon, the lowest level coupon, at which point no coupon will be given.
Originally, Job Coupons were given out as promotional prizes for signing up for different sponsors, but have since been shut down. To help create new Job Coupons, the new Brightvale Job Coupon was released, which gave an even higher base NP reward than the previous Job Coupons could. By using these new coupons, users could receive older coupons. Despite this, many coupons are still expensive.
As of April 2007, there are 11 different Job Coupons, listed below from lowest level to highest:
- Green Job Coupon (lowest level)
- Blue Job Coupon
- Red Job Coupon
- Silver Job Coupon
- Gold Job Coupon
- Purple Job Coupon
