Faerie Central

Good or bad, the Faeries live in that wonderful fluffy Cloud City place in the sky. They delight in toying with Neopets by sending them on quests and you cant help but run into them. Especially when you are trying to use the Shop Wizard. {We touched on that fellow in Section above on shops}.
To learn about Faerie Quests lest start by looking at a place called the Faerieland Employment Agency.
They may be called "Jobs's" but what they really are is fast moving quests. They are random, time limited assignments where you must go find & buy on e or more (usually not more than 6) items from stores around Neopia. You can go here ever 10 minutes on the dot {up to 6 times a day} and -try- to nab a job. I say "-nab-" because this is very popular activity and the 60 to 100 jobs disappear at blinding speed! It will honestly take some practice at catching on e before it gets away.
Each job sends you on a time limited hunt to buy, from your own NP's, on e to six items from somewhere in Neopia, hoping to make a profit from what they pay you for suceeding. Now, if you took the advice in step #4 and learned to use the Shop Wiz, this will be easier. At least most of the time. On occaision you may get a job where the pay off is less than the reward. If this happens to you, don't buy the items and loose money, just go back and cancel the job at no penalty. As you get better you will start to recognize the better deals and make more profit. It will also help you in your shop stock efforts!

Random Faerie Quest
These occur as random events, usually smack in the middle of searching for something using the Shop Wiz. Suddenly this Faerie appears, tells you she wants you to go find her something then blocks you from using the Shop Wiz and tell you "No Cheating!!". Imagine how this can mess you up while rushing to fill on e of their timed jobs!? Good news is, there is a help board dedicated to this and there is allways someone there willing to help you find the item needed & if you fill this quest it usually pays off considerably by increasing your pet stats in some way, whic is normally much cheaper than the cost of codestones and dubloons needed for the training Schools.
On a rare occaision you might see the Faerie Queen ask you for a quest. More rare is the Space Faerie, Rainbow Fountain Faerie and For help with a Faerie Quest, go to the Quest Help Boardhelp board and find a posting that offers something like "Free Help with Faerie Quests!". Go in and politely tell the person helping what you are looking for. Best way to do this is to copy the text and paste it into the board posting so there are no misspellings. They will then go search the shop wiz and return and paste the name of a few shops that have it and prices. Example: Looking for "Kau Comics
tapokia Kau Comics 1 4,399 NP
gold_spherical_apple Kau Comics 1 4,695 NP
tymecard00 Kau Comics 1 4,695 NP
=^neopian^ ^item^ ^qty^ Price


You can then do a lookup on that persons shop by copying their name into the search box at the left of your regular Neopets screen in the menue bar.
When you find the item the Faerie asks for you must go to the Faerie Quests place & give it to her. She will then bless on e of your NeoPets (not necesarily the active on e).

Timed Quests
Next, there are three faeries that you can go directly to and accept a quest from. Two of whom, Illusen & Jhudora, give specific rewards on an increasingly expensive scale up to some highly rare and valuable items - Here is a Guide to Jhudora and Illusen Quests. Don't be in a hurry to do these quests as the higher levels cost you excessive amounts and are prone towards failure due to the time limit and rarity of those itmes they demand.
The third faerie is Taelia the Snow Faerie. She can be found up on Terror Mountain & gives quests that usually pay off with items worth about 4000 to 10,000 NP. She may ask for items priced anywhere from 100 NP to 50,000 NP. Dont pay more than 4000 for items she demands and you will usually come out ahead though you will have to let most of her quests expire for being overpriced. If you fail her quest there is no real penalty and you can return later & seek another as soon as the current on e expires.
There are other quests, not faerie related, but in my experience they are rarely worth the effort & I will simply refer you to on e of many guides regarding these and other demand quests such as the Esophagor & Brain Tree, Witch Edna and the Cook. Here is a site that has info on those Other Quest's" Guide. Another Quest Guide
on e last comment about Faeries~
Bottled Faeries. If you dont care for faeries you might appreciate that Balthazar, who lives in the Haunted Woods, makes a hobby out of capturing faeries, sticking them in bottles and selling them around Neopia. Rumor is that he even donates a load of bottled faeries to the Money Tree every few days or so!
The reason it is good to know about bottled faeries is that when you release on e, she will bless your pet and give it a special power that is useful in the battle dome. Powers depend on your pets current level so be sure to check out the Bottled Faerie Guide before releasing on e.
