The Healing Springs
Need relaxation? Looking for another potion to stuff in your inventory? Or perhaps you're too cheap to buy that expensive medicine for your pet? Well, we've got what you need!
In Faerieland, there is a place that can do all of those things: the Healing Springs! A few trips to the ever-so-generous Marina can get you a free cure or a free item.
You're given two options when you arrive: to ask Marina to heal your pets, or to browse around her shop.
I'm not to be confused with the Rainbow Fountain Faerie, Naia, who can paint your pets!
Healing Your Pets
When Marina heals your pets, she can restore some of their hit points or pacify their famished stomachs. She is also capable of curing diseases; however, she can heal either your active pet or all of your pets, so if one of your pets needs healing then it's better to set it as your active pet on the home page or Quick Ref. During the Faerie Festival, on September 20th, Marina will heal all of your pets at once.
The free disease cure is extremely helpful if your pet is afflicted with an illness that is expensive to cure. However, she doesn't do this too often so it can get frustrating at times. But your pet shouldn't suffer too long though, as you can visit her every 30 minutes.
My magical abilities only allow me to heal once every thirty minutes. It's sad but true.
TNT has confirmed many times in the Editorial that you may visit the Healing Springs on your side accounts, even though it can occasionally award items.
Outcomes
When you click the "Heal my Pets" button, you will receive either a healing action or an item.
Healing
All of your Neopets gain three hit points. Sorry, that was the best I could do :)
All of your Neopets gain seven hit points. I hope that helps! :)
All of your Neopets gain ten hit points. Wow! That was a good spell! :)
All of your Neopets gain fifteen hit points. I am getting better at this!! :)
Result: All of your pets regain health as the number of Hit Points she indicates. Your pets can regain more than full hit point health with this, for example being at 110/100 HP.
[PET NAME] regains their hit points, and is not hungry any more!!!
Result: Your active pet is healed to full hit point health and fed to Bloated hunger level. If your pet was at more than full hit point health, the hit points will actually lower to be at 100%.
[PET NAME] is fully healed!!!
Result: Your active pet is healed to full hit point health and cured of any disease. If your pet was at more than full hit point health, the hit points will actually lower to be at 100%.
All your Neopets have their health completely restored!!!
Result: All of your pets are healed to full hit point health and cured of any diseases. If any pets were at more than full hit point health, the hit points will actually lower to be at 100%.
Items
[ITEM NAME] appears in her hand. She hands it to you... 'Use this wisely!'.
Result: You are awarded an item which appears in your inventory. This can be any of the healing potions, elixirs or snowballs that she also sells. These are all outlined in the table in the section below.
There is also a very rare chance that you can receive a Scorchstone. According to TNT, the chances of this occurring seems to increase if you visit more often. (The "new items" being referred to there are the Scorchstones, which were added after an update on August 30, 2012.)
The Healing Springs Shop
Unlike other shops, Marina's shop never needs to restock! It's filled with an endless supply of potions and snowballs, probably because it's located right next to the Healing Springs! However, even though they are priced pretty cheap, often you'd be a lot better off just buying her items from the Shop Wizard, where you can find many potions for less than she charges (as well as some she does not sell). But in the case where you do feel the sudden urge to buy something from Marina, keep in mind that you can only buy an item from her every 30 minutes, so plan accordingly!
