I have a terrible, hilarious idea for a comic for the NT about this event, but I can't draw for beans.

"Captain Planet must be an Earth Faerie since he also gets weakened by pollution" is a thought I cannot unthink, and now neither can you.

DO IT And it doesn't even need to be Halloween-themed honestly, my article about the Faerie Festival with literally one very passing mention of Halloween got accepted heh. I specified in the title "for Halloween" though.Welp, if there is one thing I've learned from this festival, it's that I need to get better at playing the Neo economy. But it's fine -- I stayed true to my roots as a Jhudora stan, bought me a (too-soon still overinflated) IStaff, and sold an abundance of omelettes I've accrued over the past 15 years. Haven't opened a single gacha capsule, planning to do it all en masse once the festival is over. All in all, I enjoyed the event. The dialogue was certainly melodrama-y in places but it kept me entertained. I definitely felt some shades of STC 907.

Neopets, 2023:
See, it's always super-evil-dark-faerie this and cannot-ever-be-trusted that, but when it comes to actually providing results, our girl will deliver.
Now, how do I get my hands on the pretty background that I betrayed my allegiances for?

Do I think the storytelling in this even could have been better? Yes, it felt heavy-handed in some places and I thought a "show don't tell" approach should have been utilized.
Do I think this event had a lot of bumps in the road? Absolutely. Glitches, prize shop choices, you all know what happened.
But eh, I got a couple of new avatars and some fun stuff out of it. I got lazy with donating near the end (switched to 6-point items when I ran out of 8s simply because I could not be bothered) so I'm short on points to sock a faerie petpet paint brush into my SDB but I'm going to think of what other Illusen junk I can buy either to keep or sell. (For reference, I have 213 points left.)
I was right to pick Illusen not just because she's on brand for me but also her wearables are exactly what I want for a woodland Ixi on a side account.

Did anyone get the Woodland Mortog? It was the one "end of game" prize Jellyneo had listed that I wanted.

Welp. I didn't get either the petpet or the first avatar. Jellyneo says the requirement was showing up to the quests page every day for the free prize, but I absolutely did that. I also didn't get the particles, even though I'm pretty dang sure I donated max items every day.
I'd think it was my memory acting up if so many users weren't reporting the same issues. I enjoyed this event a lot but this kinda sours it for me.
Went ahead and submitted a ticket, so, fingers crossed.

I got everything. I had to revisit the front page and watch the scene again, but I got it.

I got everything except the particles, because apparently I missed the first day of recycling lol. Probably because I couldn't decide on a team and it just auto-assigned me to Illusen.

Ugh, so the Weapons have dissapointed me in two ways:
1. They aren't great.
2. Despite getting all the other prizes, aka having to do everything which includes visiting the Hub & Faerie Quest page each day, I and many others didn't get the weapon when it's very obvious we should have. And the from screenshots of what it says when you're awarded the weapon, you should get it if you got all the other 3 prizes. Ugh.
AND to rub salt in the wound they have the nerve to make the Weapon be on the Avatar (which, if you're not guaranteed to get the weapon, why would the Avatar be based on it then?!)!

Well, I guess I didn't show up to the quests page "every day" because they didn't WORK yesterday...

Brynn is mentioned! <3 Okay, initially seeing the team trophies and avvies gave me a pang because, ahh, I want to represent Jhudora and my disloyalty is now forever marked on my account! But I joined Illusen for the prizes/aesthetic, and they did not disappoint. Comparing everything on JN, I do prefer her stuff over Jhudora's, so. Can't complain. Both avatars are stunning! Though I do think Jhudora's is a bit nicer for the cool flames + contained animation. (I'm glad neither said "Team ___" though; that might've killed me, lol.) But I still like Illusen's because the Glaive of Verdancy is so pretty! ^^ The wearables are gorgeous and I'm so excited to use them! Annnddd I'm also one of the people who didn't get the weapon. On JN it says daily festival participation...did you have to visit the festival page daily even when there wasn't anything more to do? I kept the festival hub + quests as pinned tabs, but I know there might have been a lull in which I didn't actually refresh the festival hub in the days between first receiving the invitations to either festival and choosing a side to donate, so did that count against me and others? Or is it actually a glitch? I received all the rest of the prizes. I still have yet to decide on what to redeem at the prize shop and actually open my recycle capsules, so that should be fun.

Hmm, it appears that I'm one of the few that got all the final prizes. I'm trying to remember if the first day was a 1.5 day as that could be the reason why players did not get the 1st avatar and Mortog if it wasn't. EDIT: I'm also wondering if the quest glitch (you couldn't accept another daily Faerie Quest if you declined one) early on also affected the final prizes result I doubt anyone here would call me a liar, but I'm posting the screenshot that I took of the prizes.Spoilers due to size
