Skillful Use of Original Faerie Quests

by epk

FAERIELAND - Well, I'm sure your all aware of Faerie Quests, and in a time of bickering Jhudora and Illusen, or the Snow Faerie stuck atop Terror Mountain, why not go back to the original Faerie Quests?

First of all, you get a Faerie Quest every 2-3 days. Now if you yell at me, "Yo, Mr. Lucky! I haven't been summoned by the Faerie's for 2-3 months!" I'm going to yell at you, "Yeah, like yelling at your computer screen is gonna get you anywhere in life. Now read on, you may find the problem within this article."

There are three ways.

1. Go to the Guilds Page, and on the Toolbar you'll see Faerie Quests. Yeah, I know, weird.

2. Go to Faerieland, go to Faerie City, and go to Faerie Quests. Makes more sense.

3. If your in a Faerie Quest (this is my favourite) go to the Shop Wizard and the Faerie that gets mad at you for trying to cheat.

Okay, your at this page. If the Faerie Queen is saying: 'You don't have a Faerie Quest yet!!! You must wait for us to give you one!' or something to that effect your good to go. What this message means is that you are eligible to receive a Faerie Quest when surfing the site. This is sort of the 'accepting to do the quest' part. If the Faerie Queen says: 'No more quests for you for another (insert number here) seconds!' this just means you recently rejected a quest and you must wait to get one. If the Faerie Queen says: 'Mmmkay, I guess you can do another quest now,' or something to this effect this simply means that (insert number here) seconds time frame has recently ended. And also, if you have this status message: THIS MEANS YOU ARE INELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE FAERIE QUESTS! That's right, if you haven't had a quest in four months, it's because you rejected a quest and you haven't proclaimed eligibility to the Faerie Queen!

How do we fix that? It's a simple button called F5. Or refresh for you non-keyboard literate people. You will receive the 'You don't have a Faerie Quest yet!!! You must wait for us to give you one!' message, which means you are now eligible for receiving a quest at a Random Time. Now, if the Faerie Queen says, 'Eata loafa breada day!' you obviously didn't go to the right page.

Okay, so let's put on a little waiting music from M*YNCI...do-do-do-dun-do-do-do-dun, okay. Now you've been selected by one of the seven Uber-Faeries/Queen Faerie to do a quest.

What are you going to do? Well, let's start with SHOULD you do the quest. It all depends on the Faerie and Item you have to fetch. Look below.

If the Uber-Fire Faerie asks you to do a Quest.... You are now on the lookout for a Clothes Item. These are normally very cheap, and the reward is 2 Strength Points. Do this quest.

If the Uber-Water Faerie asks you to do a Quest.... You are now on the lookout for a Book Item. These are normally cheap, but can be expensive. The reward is 2 Defence Points. This quest is highly recommended.

If the Uber-Dark Faerie asks you to do a Quest.... You are now on the lookout for a Toy Item. (Woo-hoo, I'm going to take the world over, one Rubber Duckie at a time.) These are normally cheap, and will rarely be expensive, and the reward is 2 Hit Points. This quest is highly recommended, unless you are one of those paranoid people who are afraid the Uber-Dark Faerie is planning to take the world over with Keyrings.

If the Uber-Air Faerie asks you to do a Quest.... You are now on the lookout for a Grooming Item. These are normally cheap, but since Neopets is adding new Grooming Items they make get more expensive. The reward is Two Agility Points. This quest is kinda recommended, since Agility is currently a dummy stat. I would do it though: Who knows when it will be used?

If the Uber-Light Faerie asks you to do a Quest.... Oh...yeah...Light Faeries...yeah...your going to be seeing more of those...erm, anyway, the Light Faerie asks for Collectable Cards. These can be Cheap or Expensive, but although I'd probably buy two (one for her, one for me) you can do whatever you want. The reward is One Level. This quest is conditionally recommended. If your pets are at Level 39, you don't want to lose your Cap'n Threelegs ability, especially for Kyrii, since their 'day' is coming up soon. And same goes for increasing training school costs. Otherwise, go ahead! Once you get to Level 50, I've heard you get something special...

If the Uber-Earth Faerie asks you to do a Quest.... This normally means a your now trying to grab a Magic Item. These are normally expensive, and the reward is a bloated pet and an extra pound. Wow. Big whoop. Ignore these quests unless your pets are very hungry and you're the kind of person who's going to forget to check the Faerie Quests page. This quest is NOT RECOMMENDED.

If the Faerie Queen (fancy music here) asks you to do a Quest.... The Faerie Queen has been known to ask for any of what the Uber-Faeries ask for, Tropical Fruit, and other items that have left my mind. However, this quest is worth it. The prize is, to my memory, 2 levels; 2 HP, and 1 Strength, but I may have something scrambled. In fact, this entire article is from memory...but my publicist* doesn't want me saying that. But erm...any way, this quest is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Especially with the war coming up. *I don't have a publicist. I'm not that scared.

If a Faerie Lupe** asks you to do a Quest.... Faerie Lupes will ask you to join 'almost-cult' RP guild, you will RP Lupes, ignore other pets, and sound like those Non-PC Owners on TV that act like total snobs and that their computer is better. This quest is not recommended if you like to keep sanity. It's still okay to own a Lupe...just take EXTREME CAUTION! MWAHAHAHAHA! Oh dear...there goes every empty spot in my Inbox. Darn.

**Sorry Lupe owners, I haven't nagged on Lupes for a while. This was only to get on Faerie Lupes that have RPing owners...erm...anyway...

Okay, we've covered IF and WHAT. Now, HOW?

Everybody's first instinct before they realise this is that they run to the Shop Wizard. Guess what: THIS DOES NOT WORK. The Faerie's call this 'cheating.' I guess that's okay for them, they do not have a time limit like Illusen, Jhudora, or the Snow Faerie. Ya gain some, ya lose some.

How are you going to get that item? I myself prefer checking my Safety Deposit Box first. If it's a Uber-Light, Fire, or Air Faerie Quest, I'd go to the Main Shop where this item is stocked. If that doesn't work, you got many options.

1. The Trading Post. The Faerie's were gracious enough not to kill this search engine.

2. The Auction Genie. The Faerie's didn't block this either.

3. Neofriend. You can ask your friend to give you one, or tell you a shop with it in stock.

4. The Problem with 1 & 3 is that the other end may not always be on, and #2 is the fact it takes forever for the Auction to finish, and if at the last second you are outbid, ARGH! #4 is my favourite, but only applies to people with the Parental Permission Form in or are 13+. That is to go to the 'Quests' board on NeoChat. Sometimes somebody will be doing 'Quest Help,' which is where you Neomail them the item you need, and they search it up in the Shop Wizard and tell you what shops it in. I prefer posting a notice on the board, "Help! I need this item!"

(Be sure to say 'What the Item is')

Sooner or later someone will post on that notice or Neomail you the top shops with that item. You thank them (if you want them to do it again) and run to that shop. Same works for Guild Message Boards, IF your Guild allows it. You don't want to be booted before that *cough*illegal*cough* contest ends, eh?

Don't forget, if you have DSL and want to help Neopia, this is a great way because you can do it so fast! 56k, and even 28k, or possibly 14k, you can do it, but it will be very frustrating. Very frustrating. As in 'VERY' and 'FRUSTRATING.' It puts the VERY in VERY FRUSTRATING, and the FRUSTRATING in FRUSTRATING VERY, erm...VERY FRUSTRATING! You get the point?

Well, anyway, so now you have the item, you give it to the Faerie, and voila! You have the stat increase. Now, if you were to ask me: What is the future of these Faerie Quests? Are they going to stay in one place? I doubt it.

Sooner or later, Faerie Quests will become even more intense, with other Faeries such as the Battle Faerie, Tooth Faerie, Space Faerie, and Soup Faerie asking you for some work. The Battle Faerie may be pretty down to earth, asking for a Battledome Item and giving 1 HP and 1 Strength. The Soup Faerie probably will ask for Food, and you get bloated and 1 Defence. The Tooth and Space Faerie will be a larger one (for more then just an item) though, to which extent I do not really have the ability to predict.

Of course, this may change to just having these Faerie's have their own quests, like the Snow Faerie or Jhudora, or they may not have anything at all! Support the Reconstruction of Maraqua and bye in Six (Hmm...six Uber Faeries...weird...) Different Languages... until next time.
