New Beginnings
The "New Beginnings" event to celebrate the new year began on January 23, 2025. According to the Portal announcement, it will last until 1am NST on February 26, 2025.

Upon opening the app, a pop-up will inform the player of the event. All players who play Faerie Fragments during the duration of the event participate automatically; nothing special is needed to activate it!
The event can be accessed at any time by clicking the party popper icon in the upper left corner of the overworld screen.
End Date Extensions
The event was originally set to end at 1am NST on February 22, 2025, but was extended by one day due to maintenance with downtime on the evening of February 17. A notification message in the app announced this:
Exclusive achievement awards added!
Thanks for waiting! Our recent maintenance has brought forth new achievements, with rewards including an exclusive Neopets.com stamp and avatar! In addition, we have also implemented stability fixes to improve your experience and ensure that stampcard rewards are given out as intended.
To make up for the downtime, the end date of the current event New Beginnings has been extended by one day to 23-Feb 1:00 am PST.
After some stability issues following this, seemingly the result of an influx of players due to the release of an exclusive stamp and avatar, on the morning of February 21 the event was further extended to 1am NST on February 26, along with an apology gift of 1,000:
Bug fixing and extension of the current event
We want to inform you that we've fixed bugs and resolved connection issues that occured [sic] after the recent maintenance. To thank you for your patience, here is a compensation of 1,000 gold coins.
Additionally, the end date of the current event New Beginnings has been extended by three day [sic] to 26-Feb 1:00am PST, so you can have more time to collect bronze coins and rewards!
Event Participation
The event involves collecting Bronze Coins primarily by completing levels.
- Regular levels award 10
- Hard levels award 20
- Very Hard levels award 30
- Champion levels award 10
Daily Quests
In addition to coins earned by completing levels, you can earn even more coins by completing Daily Quests. These can be accessed by clicking the icon in the lower right corner on the event screen.
Four quests are available to you each day, resetting nightly at 1:30am NST. Three quests will be available for 30 each with specific requirements; the fourth quest will always be awarded for completing the other three, awarding a 10 bonus.
Pressing any of the "Go" buttons will take you to play your next available main story level.
The 30 quests will be the following:
- Complete a main story level.
- Two of the below quest types. They can be one of each type, or both the same.
- Match a certain number of a specific basic tile in main story levels: 30, 30, 30, or 30.
- Generate a certain number of a specific special tile in main story levels: 5, 5, 5, or 1.
You can only progress these quests from tiles matched or generated directly by you; tiles that are cleared or generated as a result of a combo or during the level-end process do not count. You also can only progress these quests from actions on levels you complete; if you fail a level, you will not earn any progress from actions during that failed attempt.
Rewards
Upon reaching specific thresholds of Bronze Coins, you will automatically unlock in-app rewards. There is one set of "Event Rewards" available for free; an additional set of "Premium Rewards" are available by purchasing a pass for $9.99 (or equivalent local currency). If you purchase the pass after reaching some thresholds, those Premium Rewards will be granted at the time of purchase.
The Premium Rewards are shown in the top row, while the regular Event Rewards are in the bottom row. The thresholds required are listed in between them.
When you have rewards available, the event icon will show a green "Open" button. To claim the rewards, simply visit the event page after reaching the required threshold. Your prizes will be granted automatically.
In this screenshot, two thresholds were passed since the last visit, so both were awarded!
All rewards from both tiers are listed in the table below.
