On a side note, is it just me or does everyone who posts about getting a Rainbow Fountain dip get it from the Grey Faerie? Both of mine came from the Grey Faerie so I'm starting to think the Fountain Faerie just doesn't give quests.
Interesting observation. Add me to that list (if you hadn't already included me since I posted about it in other threads.)

I'm sending messages for a team partner to some Neofriends. If I don't hear from one of them soon, does anyone else need one? I just did a practice game and got over 1000 easily and then quit. My high a few years ago is over 3,600. I can quickly do another game and submit a score when ready. Message me here or there. EDIT: I have a partner now. I'll edit again if needed later. Challenge won. Thanks Mana!

Hi Stacy, welcome, and congratulations! This happened to me too a few days ago, and my Kougra is now CANDY.
Take your time and choose something you like (especially something expensive 
). I'll wait for someone else to confirm, but I think the Fountain Faerie doesn't expire, but the sooner you do it the sooner you may get another one. You may have it happen again too someday, so you can either change this pet again or another one. There is also a thread discussing the Daily Faerie Quests and a Customization section you may want to read and share on. Plus, I'm a guy but there are many female members and some of them are also mothers of all ages. Look in General Chat for their words of wisdom.

I don't know if this makes any difference or not BUT... LuLu on vacation when I saw the prize for today was a paper heart garland I wanted you all to know that is not what I got. I got a really nice background. Could it be a mistake or are the prizes random?
I haven't done any of this yet but I checked the Jellyneo page. Granny is right, the first Lulu prize is an Autumn Sunset Lake View Background.

@lakecat Congratulations!!! Candy Kougras are very pretty
Before I start looking for items, could you tell me what kind of look you're going for?
If you want it to be surrounded by a candy or chocolate environment? Magical? Exploring? Or any other?
Also NC or NP, or both items?Hi Yuiina, thanks for replying. I'm going for anything with complimentary colors that go well with his bright Candy look. Not necessarily candy themes, or anything else. Just think of it visually. I think too much brown (as in Chocolate) wouldn't appeal to me. I created those looks above based on my fondness for a white and colored combination. I'm not as familiar with all of the items so I started off searching for "Rainbow" , "Pastel" and also "colored" or "colorful" and maybe other words such as "bright". I'm also open to buying NC items from the Mall or trading as well as just getting NP items. BTW, I appreciate anyone's time spent on this. Thanks in advance. I just hope no one minds if I wind up choosing one of my own designs instead.

I have no experience trading Neocash (NC) items. I have purchased a few over the years from the mall using NC won on the Expellibox. I also recently gifted an NC item to a friend. Is there a page or thread somewhere teaching the right way to do the trading? I have seen wish lists on another site. Is it all just a long process of contacting people one by one to see what they want for each item or is there a site comparing asking prices? I'm also wondering if anyone has had good luck using NC to get an item they thought would be worth more later and then successfully trading for something of higher value than the NC they spent for the original item. Also, is it possible to use Neocash to get an NC item in a trade, such as offering 100 NC in a gift box? I'd like to get NC back for some items that I don't want, if possible.

The Dark Faerie asked for a Farvin Gormball Action Figure, worth over 1,500, which I had in my SDB.

That mosaic background! WHY DID I NOT NOTICE THIS DURING THE EVENT!!!
I LOVE that, and your Kougra looks GREAT with it!
The colours all around him compliment him, but because he's stood on a solid shade he's highlighted beautifully rather than lost within the patterns.
EDIT: I see that was the bonus item, so I feel (kind of) better now. I got the plants (no surprise there) and ended up with the wig, pants and dress too in the process, but I wasn't lucky enough to get the bonus item, so well done netting it yourself, Jim!
Thanks Jackie!
I'm glad you like it too. I wasn't sure about the Mosaic background but have kept it on since it was new. It's funny how it goes so well with him being Candy now. When I saw that background as a bonus I spent some of the NC I had won from Expellibox to get it and am glad I did. 
Here is a heavenly look with and without the arch.

On a Fire Faerie Quest: Looking for a pair of "Rainbow Sandals" Thanks!
I found a few for about 3,000 each. There are a lot of old high prices still in shops so you have to refresh a lot sometimes.

I got lucky today and the Grey Faerie sent me to the FOUNTAIN FAERIE!!!
I have admired the Candy color for Kougras ever since I saw the look. Now I'm considering all options for what backgrounds, foregrounds, etc. to give him. I'm playing around with Rainbow themes right now on Impress. Feel free to suggest ideas. I just got the Mosaic background from the Negg event and used it when he was invisible and have it now. The greens in back don't quite go with the Candy colors but some of the mosaic pieces sort of do. On the left is another possible look, more pastel and rainbow. I haven't bought these items yet. I've added links to some other looks.

I hit the jackpot today: for only about 1,000 I completed a Grey Faerie Quest. Then she sent me to the FOUNTAIN FAERIE!!!
I've been wanting to paint my Invisible Kougra J88KK Candy ever since I first saw that beautiful new color. I kept forgetting to buy the brush. Now I don't have to. I'll post more about it in the Customization forum.

I just did my Faerie Quest. But I didn't see the pop-up showing my daily prize as usual. Then I checked my Inventory and saw a new Faerie Colouring Book, so I assume that is it. Before today I had seen the pop-up window with the prize in it. Could not seeing it today be caused by Adblock? I noticed it updated last night. Could a change in that affect this, and is there any chance that it will be read as me not participating on a given day? Or is receiving the daily prize proof that it is registered as a daily visit? EDIT: I did it today with Adblock turned off. The window showed up with the daily prize. So that is the cause.

Yesterday I had to take a Warf from my SDB worth about 4,000. Today it was just a toy Krawk Pirate Ship, worth just a few NP. So it averaged out.
I always forget: can we still get random faerie quests in addition to this daily one for the event? Does anyone remember that happening to them?
-
Here I was thinking I was the only one of us with one green check mark, which I talked about in another thread. I'm glad I was aware of it ahead of time. Really the stamp is the only reason to do it every day, since the daily prizes are cute and fun but worth so little. Congrats to those who got the stamp. Won't the stamp be priced higher for awhile since everyone is thinking about it now? A quick check shows them at over 700K. I'm not a collector so if I miss one, I miss one.

Oh my gosh!!!! I just tried this on Microsoft Edge and it is a beautiful white screen!!! You just have to deal with the box!
That's good news. I may try that one later. Has anyone tried the Fruit Machine with Microsoft Edge (or Internet Explorer) and does it speed it up?
-
In an earlier thread about the purple haze, member lojoco49 suggested using Internet Explorer (IE) as your browser to deal with the haze. I haven't tried it yet, so I'm not sure if it removes the haze or just controls it somehow. I haven't done any of the Wraith stuff and I wish the haze was only for those who do.

I'd have started off lower than that, my intrinsic tight-fistedness showing through there!
I had no idea you were part Scottish, Jackie!
Angelo, I guess it comes down to which are you willing to give up. What you have or what you want.
-
I think the change helps both buyers AND sellers. I know I've pulled items from the TP before because it was too hard to gauge a price there.
-
Jelly is right (as always
). I would ask, which is more important to you: making the best deal to keep the most NP, or looking at what you want to see? One thing you didn't mention is whether you think the price they are asking seems high or low to you. I understand choosing not to name the item. But that also means that we can't make a comparison, and that it's all up to you. Good luck with your decision.
EDIT: I would offer them a price MUCH lower than what they are asking. Chances are they are guessing at its worth and hoping to get that but will take a LOT less. If you offer them half or even less, and they turn you down, you can always haggle up in increments. If you agree to the 20 M, you're committed. But I'm sure you are more of an expert on these negotiations and deals than I am.

Hi there! I tried it and I didn't get the avatar. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
This one is gained by sending it to someone's actual email or even your own. If you did that then maybe there is a lag before the avatar shows up in your list. I wonder if maybe you didn't include a message in the box? (Although I'm not sure if that matters).

Congratulations Aquamentis!
That must have been an amazing feeling.

I'll skip retelling everything and just say I do Trudy's Surprise first to clear the notice on the top. Then usually bank interest next. I suggest new players get in the habit of doing that first or second. It's easy to forget. Also if you do it early you won't lose the interest by mistake if you deposit money later (it won't let you collect interest that day after any deposit). Interest may be small now but it grows over the years until it's usually more than your other dailies combined.

I hadn't played Lost City Lanes since the last time it was part of a DD a few years ago. It showed my high score from then as 1248, so I decided to try to beat AAA. After at least 8 attempts, and learning a little each time, I finally did it and got 1261. Whew!
The stamp is worth over 300K now so it's well worth the effort. An extra tip that may help some: you can adjust the ball's starting postion left or right before you roll it, if you'd like to avoid certain obstacles.
