Hidden Tower
The Hidden Tower is an invisible tower located in Faerieland, part of Fyora's palace. Opened to the public on January 17, 2001, the Hidden Tower stores a variety of magical artifacts Fyora sells in order to raise money for Faerieland. The majority of these items are Battledome Equipment, of which are a collection of the most powerful in the Battledome, making them highly sought by users.
The Hidden Tower stood for many years completely forgotten in a hidden courtyard overrun with weeds. One of the reasons it lay undisturbed for so long was its invisible enchantment. It was rediscovered by Fyora's maid Celandra when she found a trapdoor hiding behind a bookshelf, and while cleaning saw a pair of shadows walk through a doorway which appeared from out of nowhere. The original purpose of the tower is not known, but it is assumed to be an armoury of rare and dangerous weapons, a storehouse to keep items safe from others, or as a hiding place.
Stock
Items in the Hidden Tower have an item rarity of 200 and cannot be obtained through Random Events. They are very expensive with prices ranging from a few hundred thousand to sixteen million Neopoints. Items will not be for sale some of the time for Fyora to restock, though this is just a formality as unlike regular Neopian shops, there is effectively an unlimited supply of the items users can buy until they are retired.

When the user was in Faerieland during Act 2 and Act 3, they could get a Meowclops to show them the location of the Hidden Tower, where valuable items could be bought (different in each visit). Usually the user could not buy any thing from the tower because most items were over 20,000 Neopoints.
