Faerie Quests
While browsing Neopets, you might be asked to fetch a certain item for a magical, most often winged person. These creatures are faeries and there are many different types in Neopia; some have powers that relate to the elements while others have more specialised roles. Give the faeries what they want and they are sure to reward you and your pet!
For more on the lore of why the faeries seek these items, check out the About the Faeries page.
Receiving a Quest
Faerie Quests are given out randomly when you are browsing the Neopets site, similar to a Random Event. Here is an example of what a quest will look like:
You can also get a guaranteed daily faerie quest using a Faerie Quest Fortune Cookie, available from the NC Mall.
Finally, you can get a guaranteed daily faerie quest during a Faerie Quest Event, which usually takes place for a few weeks in the spring.
Completing a Quest
Each type of faerie will request an item from a certain category and rarity range. You can take as much time as you want to complete the quest, but when you have a quest in progress your Shop Wizard access will be blocked. To hand an item in (or to cancel your current faerie quest), visit the quests page (which is also conveniently linked on the Shop Wizard page while your quest is active).
If you need help, there is the Quests Neoboard, which is usually full of people willing to look stuff up for you. You are also allowed to log into a side account and use the Shop Wizard to find the item you need. However, as always, the Neopoints to buy the item must come from your main account.
If your active Neopet is currently in a battle in the Battledome, the faerie will not accept your item. You will either need to finish your battle or switch your active Neopet. (This is due to not being able to add stats to your Neopet while it's actively battling.)
TNT has confirmed many, many times that you are allowed to complete any faerie quests that you receive randomly on a side account, so long as the items needed to complete the quest are bought using Neopoints from your main account. TNT has also confirmed that you may transfer a pet from another of your accounts to receive the reward of the Faerie Quest.

Changing Your Quest
Certain factions give the opportunity of activating the Refreshed Quest Request boon if you side with them and they emerge victorious from the Battleground of the Obelisk. Whilst this boon is active you are given the choice of "refreshing" each faerie quest you receive one time, allowing you to swap your current quest for a random new one. This is especially useful if you want to increase your chances of receiving a Fountain Faerie quest, or if you are training your pet and would rather increase a specific statistic.
While the boon is active, you can refresh the quest by visiting the Faerie Quests page and clicking the golden "Request Refresh" button:
Be-gone, useless speed increase!
You can also refresh it by pressing the circular arrows in the top right corner of the random event window, which will change the quest you receive without even reloading the page!
Either way, you will be presented with a confirmation prompt:
Click the green "At Once!" button to switch your quest to a new one! (Clicking the red "Never Mind" button or the "X" in the corner will simply close the prompt, but you can still re-open the prompt to request a refresh if desired.)
It is possible, although unlikely, that refreshing the quest will result in a new quest from the same type of Faerie; it's even possible they will ask you for the same item!
