The Daily Neopets › Neopets Articles › Fountain Faerie Quests
One of the most wanted things in all of Neopia that you cannot buy is a Fountain Faerie Quest. By completing a Fountain Faerie Quest, you get to choose one of your pets to be painted any (see 3 exceptions below) color you want, for FREE. Yes, I did just say free. Below are the steps and the entire process of a Fountain Faerie Quest.
You do this exactly how you would any other faerie quest, by randomly wandering around the world of Neopia. These are very rare, and you will most likely get other quests before getting one of these. Every time you get a quest, be sure to read who it is from. If it says "The Fountain Faerie..." this is a Fountain Faerie Quest. It should look something like below:

During quests you are not allowed to use the Shop Wizard. The very first thing you want to do when you get a Fountain Faerie Quest is buy the item that the Fountain Faerie needs you to find. To do this you can choose one of the following two options:
Option 1 - Using a Side Account
|
Option 2 - Using the NeoBoards
| |
|---|---|
| One of the easiest methods to use. This
assures you that you are getting the cheapest item out in Neopia, as
you can search for yourself.
1. Estimate on the price of the item you were requested to buy and send that amount of Neopoints to a side account via a trade or buying something out of your side account's shop. If you are unsure just send a lot, any extra can always be transfered back. 2. Purchase the item on your side account, via the Shop Wizard, Trading Post, Auction House etc. 3. Send the item and any extra Neopoints back to your main account following the same methods listed in step #1. |
You can also ask for Shop Wizard assistance from people on the
Quest NeoBoards . The people on this wonderful board will look up the item you need on the Shop Wizard. All you have to do is
the following:
1. Create a new topic with the title 'Quest Help' or 'FFQ Help Needed' (either one of those should get you a fast response). 2. Post the item name in your first message and then wait. 3. In no time at all, a nice, friendly user should have posted the usernames of the shops that item is currently available in. 4. From there just search for that user on Neopets, visit their shop and purchase the item. |
Once the item is on your main account, visit the Quests Page
to give the Fountain Faerie the item. It should look like the image below.

Once you have completed the quest you should receive this message:
Here is a special note that not too many people know about. You don't have to paint a pet that you already have. You can create a new pet that is the species you want and the exact name you want (so long as it's not taken). Once you know which pet you would like to paint, go to the Rainbow Fountain
. The page should look something like this:

Select your color from the drop down menu, and click on the "Get My New Color" button. From there the page should load and give you a nice little picture of your just painted pet.

The following colors are colors you cannot obtain through a FFQ: Ice, Magma, MSP, Robot, Royal, Sponge, Quiguki and Usuki.
While the rarest of their kind, you should consider yourself very lucky if you receive one of these quests. Once you do, the hard part is over and the easy part begins, buying the item and picking which pet to paint. Have fun driving yourself crazy trying to get one of these quests, it would probably be best to just go about your daily Neopets playing and just hope for the best.
I would like to thank carrotopian for the use of her awesome screenies!
