^ Oh nooooo xD;
I am also getting obscenely lucky with FFQs so at this point, if somebody wants a dip, please ask. I have loads of pet slots now so it won't take any extra shuffling around and I'd be happy to help.

Anyways, can anyone help me find/look Nature Kacheek Sprig?

FFQs definitely seem to be dropping at an increased rate for the event, because I've gotten two of them. XD With nothing better to do, my pets have been getting long overdue makeovers: Waiting to see if I get a third FFQ for Sonya, otherwise I might just paint her the normal way since the paint brush is cheap, lol.

Welp, I just now got a Fountain Faerie Quest while also having access to the Rainbow Fountain already. All my Neopets are the Colours I want them to be, so if anyone wants I can paint their Neopet. (Wish they would make it so they had a count on how many Fountain Faerie Quests you completed so we don't need to play this game of run around) EDIT: Alright, used up the extra, and redeemed the new one.

AT LONG LAST. (I've found that events like these are pretty much the only times I still draw these days, comics aside. If they manage to actually roll out more events - or if the Charity Corner portion proves as wacky as can reasonably be anticipated - I might finally get a new sketchbook this year >>)

Hooray, Hunty!!!!!!
Meanwhile, the Battle Faerie wants me to find a Custard Parfait so I'm guessing it's rest day for her.

I wonder if the special faeries in general occur at a much greater rate than usual? Almost a week into the event and I haven't gotten a single regular faerie so far. Or perhaps I'm just lucky. xD

I believe the only four faerie quests you can get for this event are Fyora, Aethia, Baelia, and Naia, and they each have a 25% chance of showing up, hence the greater number of FFQ this go around xD

Yes I know I am late at posting responses... If you go to their quests, Illusen and Jhudora have both replaced themselves with cardboard cutouts. They really do think alike. Well Illusen was always replaced by a cardboard cutout on Jhudora Day, with a Bartamus hiding behind it playing a record of "Illusen" saying her quests stinks and you should go to Jhudora. Illusen meanwhile would send cute and cuddly Petpets to bother Jhudora on Illusen Day, Jhudora surrounding herself with a "protective" magic circle thus not able to give us any quests that day. Though, while the idea originated with Jhudora who now has done a cardboard cutout copy of herself, Illusen looked to have also adopted the idea. The new image of cardboard Illusen is different from the old one, not only featuring Meepits instead of a Bartamus, but the eyes were also adjusted to look more "natural". So I think on Illusen's end she's just re-using the "replacement" that Jhudora used on her (I can see Illusen, after having destroyed a few over the years, deciding to keep one of them as who knows if it'll ever be useful) while Jhudora is indeed re-using one of her old ideas. I hope two of the prizes they offer would be wearable cut-outs of each one. Well, they walked the item donation limit back, from 10 to 30, and additionally announced that r200 items would not be donatable at all. Squeezy tombola guy toys just went from ~600k to ~70k in the space of about 24 hours. ...xDDDDD *cries in Bought 18 Of Them From Scalpers* Oh well. Ugh, yeah, the who "Limit" and "Rarity-Points Ratio" is just a mess. I've made a few comments on JN but I'll summarize my thoughts here as we're about to enter Day 1. Item Limit: I was mad at first, but then I got thinking: this isn't a Charity Corner, it's the Faerie Festival which has a Charity Corner-like donation portion. Now I'm not completely letting TNT off the hook, they gave us the impression that they were going to have the Faerie Festival be a Charity Corner with no indication there would be limits. I still don't like it, I disagree with them doing it this way as it's NOT WHAT WE'VE BEEN ASKING FOR, and I hope they now got the message and there will be an actual Charity Corner coming in the future. A bit nice to see they increased the limit from 10 to 30, but who's seriously going to donate any item below r90? If the want to do this limit thing, each rarity tier needed its own limit. I would do an example, but the problem is that there is going to be a prize shop like last Charity Corner which means set items with certain costs. Before this TNT likely had an idea the amount of points the average player would get and planned the prize costs accordingly. But now that they increased the limit to 30 and are adjusting the tier points, they've likely had to redo a lot of the costs. I have no idea how many items they'll have on offer so can't for certain say what I think the limits should have been (and the cost of the prizes should then be). They really painted themselves in a corner here and making a mess to get out of it. Worth The Rarity: Another issue I'm having: is it worth it to use my r98-100? Likely going to be worth the highest points, I think I have just enough to donate 30 of them for each of the days the Faerie Festival runs for. It'll certainly get me a lot of points... but then a part of me thinks "but what if they do a Charity Corner which does the 5-for-1". If they do bring that back (like we've been asking them too), r98-100 would be the most valuable items as they'd give a chance at the rarest album items among other very expensive items. Even though I've gotten pretty much all my r98-100 items for free, because of this I don't want to give them up unless I feel what we're getting is at least equivalent to a 5-for-1; which I don't. Even if the "Capsules" were buyable, but while I think they have better odds then last year, they still aren't equivocal to the 5-for-1. I know I probably sound like a broken record, but this is how I feel (and I feel frustrated with how this was all handled). r200: Glad they got rid of the r200, they shouldn't have been on there in the first place. Sorry to hear about your loss Breakingchains , I myself was just going to buy Tombola Guy Toys from the Hidden Tower everyday and limit myself to that (I bought one before the change was made; obviously nothing compared to your loss investment but still annoying and just shows how poorly thought out this was). Sticky Snowballs: And for Fyora sake, TNT, instead of making a special exception for Snowballs, Healing Potions, and any other item sold in non-standard official shops with a rarity that isn't 101, JUST CHANGE THOSE ITEMS RARITY TO R101! just me becoming BFFs with Aethia after she gave me a few quests in a row before Naia and Fyora ruined our moment Aside from today's Fountain Quest, I've been enjoying all the stat boosts (mainly Endurance and Level) that Aethia and Fyora have been giving Firo! My Neopets are exactly the way I want them to be, I have access to the Rainbow Fountain for emergencies (though I wish we could paint a Bori Ice, seriously are Ice Bori really that special anymore? I'd be glad to make them more widely available if it assures I have ways to turn Freezo back into an Ice Bori if something were to happen and he changed Colour/Species). I would gladly trade a FFQ for an Aethia or Fyora. Meanwhile, the Battle Faerie wants me to find a Custard Parfait so I'm guessing it's rest day for her. I think all the Faeries are stocking up on snacks to watch the chaos unfold between Illusen's & Jhudora's competing Faerie Festivals. I believe the only four faerie quests you can get for this event are Fyora, Aethia, Baelia, and Naia, and they each have a 25% chance of showing up, hence the greater number of FFQ this go around xD * Presses F for Mira & Soup Faerie (how have they not given you a name yet?)* TOMORROW:Well tomorrow it'll be time to pick who's Faerie Festival we're supporting. As a Meridell Knight I'm pretty much required to support Lady Illusen (even though Jhudora's sound more fun...). FUNNY NOTE: Was trying to end this post with an image of Jhudora & Illusen facing off (of course there's some on the Neopet image database but we can't post those for some reason). So I typed "Jhudora VS Illusen" in Google Images to see if there's any fanart I could post & source to. Welp, I certainly found Jhudora & Illusen fanart... none of them really them fighting but rather being essentially lovers (be warned, there's at least one slightly censored NSFW I saw).

So the recycling is on and things are, as expected, going all wacky.
- You get a preview of items before joining, and much as I like my goth girl aesthetic, Illusen's previews involved items that I can actually use in customization, so with a heavy heart, I picked her side instead.
- Only now that I get to see the prize shop, the previewed background isn't actually there? COME ON! I wanted my nice background! I can only get a buncha Illusen Staffs, but no background?
- hol up
- ...
- OKAY well, I did my share of donations, got a nice capsule, opened it, got a Faerie Dreamwich, which is quite rad, as it's 1) on Saura's gourmet food list and 2) cost 2 million NP, or at least did up until this point, blink and expect the economy to do some loop-de-loops before lunchtime.
- Naia quest again today. Ah ha, guilty, are we?
Man, I'm enjoying this event this year.

Wait, so she doesn't have WoDF in her shop, but IStaff is in the other?
