lilshadowdweller Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I love this event. I have been buying the Faerie Fortune Cookies for weeks now (4) and still no Rainbow Fountain. I doubt I'll get it with this but at least it's a free event so it feels like a free Faerie Fortune Cookie to me. xD Good training, too.

leverhelven Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 But I once was wondering why I hadn't seen a quest in ages despite logging lots of time on-site, only to realize eventually that I had a Delina quest sitting for who-knows-how-long. At least weeks, probably months. (I accidentally clicked on the Faerie Quest page -- now I try to check it at least once a week or so.) Gash, I didn't know Delina's quests could block you from receiving other quests. I thought they worked out in a special, totally-optional-move-on-with-your-life-way. That sucks. I love this event. I have been buying the Faerie Fortune Cookies for weeks now (4) and still no Rainbow Fountain. I doubt I'll get it with this but at least it's a free event so it feels like a free Faerie Fortune Cookie to me. xD Good training, too. I've been opening Faerie Fortune Cookies every week for almost a year now, and I've only gotten 2 Fountain Faerie quests so far - and that's still considered lucky. So... yeah, you should keep on trying for some time :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ11 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Don't forget to change your browsing language to Chinese to avoid Delina (aka nothing). good advice ... can someone please tell me where I go to change the language also is it easy to change back? and can you do it as soon as you get a quest? Bit worried about getting stuck in Chinese which I can not understand :) thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 It's at the very bottom of each page, to the right of the Neopets logo and search Neopets field. It's super easy to change back. It's changed back in the same place and the English option is in English. AJ11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked up the way the word chinese looks in chinese symbols but it doesnt coresond with any of the words in the choice list sorry to have to ask but which one do I choose please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I always pick the one that is 2 below Spanish. It's the 3rd from the bottom. I've never gotten an Crafting Faerie quest while doing that one. AJ11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Chinese is the first two options after Espanol (Traditional & Simplified) , both are ok to choose from I assume :) The other two are Japanese and Korean. AJ11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missjustina Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Yayy one of my favorite events is back :laughingsmiley: I now have a chance of getting a fountain faerie quest. On the sad side, it's only been 3 days and I already got a crafting faerie quest -_- I'm writing down what quest I get everyday and will see at the end how many times I get her.

Lady Lyuba Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Am I crazy, or is this how it used to be? I thought one year, quite some time ago, the crafting faerie quests would stack on top of the others as a "bonus." I swear I can remember getting and normal faerie and crafting faerie quest at the same time, with the little "new quest" bars both appearing at the top of the page. No, I remember getting her as a daily quest the first year the event began. :( She would sometimes pop up as a bonus however. I believe the Crafting Faerie started as a limited-time "bonus" extra quest that you could randomly get after completing the regular quest. At some point, TNT decided to bring her back permanently as a random quest. My biggest pet peeve is that sometimes, SHHs take more time to load than the rest of a page, and if I'm flying through my dailies, I never see the quest pop-up. At least for the others, the SW lets me know. But I once was wondering why I hadn't seen a quest in ages despite logging lots of time on-site, only to realize eventually that I had a Delina quest sitting for who-knows-how-long. At least weeks, probably months. (I accidentally clicked on the Faerie Quest page -- now I try to check it at least once a week or so.) I thought Delina was always a random quest ever since she was first introduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Delina was always a random quest ever since she was first introduced. I found the news announcing her (from http://www.neopets.com/nf.phtml?nf_date=2011-02-07): All-new, NC Mall Faerie Quests! There is a new Crafting Faerie named Delina that will be asking for your help in retrieving NC items. Once turned in, Delina will award you with exclusive NC item prizes! Will you be lucky enough to get a Crafting Faerie Quest? Visit the NC Mall FAQ section for more details! And I just double-checked a thread from that time on another forum, and you're right -- it sometimes came as a bonus after you finished a regular quest, but one person got it as their regular daily quest, as well (I misunderstood at the time, thinking it was just a bonus, but re-reading it now, it's clear that it wasn't). Regardless of how Delina started, I really wish I could just click an "opt out" button to never get a quest from her, or at least have a little icon pop up at the top of every page letting you know you're on a faerie quest.

"Lucky enough to get a Crafting Faerie Quest", they say - bah! It's UNLUCKY! Bad luck, very very bad luck. Well changing the language to Chinese helps for now, but I'm scared that eventually that cheat will stop working and you'll still get her even then. D: Let's not give TNT any ideas.....Well no, Viacom ideas, they're the mastermind behind Delina. I say keep her only as a bonus quest or keep her out of being directly related to the event, like all the other site events and plots.

siniri Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Today's was light, so it went to my second pet (only 1200 NP, and he's in regular codestones already, so it was worth it). Then I got this: Hi there! I am so glad that I was able to catch you. I'm Delina, the Crafting Faerie, in case you didn't know. I have some new crafting projects that I can't wait to try. Do you think you would be able to help me? I would sure appreciate it. Apparently they're still giving Delina bonus quests. I think in past years I didn't switch my language back to English until after turning in my item, so I haven't gotten the bonus in a while and didn't realize they still did that. (Why I used the SW in Chinese is beyond me...) At least it didn't cost me my regular quest. Maybe we should write into the editorial and suggest that Delina *only* be a bonus during this event. leverhelven and Lady Lyuba 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leverhelven Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Yeah, I was gonna post the same thing. Perhaps everyone is getting her as a bonus today?

Novelista Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I ignored Delina's bonus quest. My daily quest went well (forgot who I got, but she wanted a Nanka bottle), but my fortune cookie quest was a bust. 75k for the fire fae and I had to turn her down. Ugh. The only thing worse than an Air quest is getting one you have to turn down because it's too expensive. (I don't like turning down fae quests. :P ) Lady Lyuba 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a brilliant idea. I doubt Viacom would let TNT do that though but it'd make the quest event so much better. Anyway, got a Fire Faerie today, and the Faerie images are still broken since yesterday. It first started when giving the Dark Faerie her item last afternoon and the images haven't fixed since.

I got a Fountain Faerie Quest today! :) I'm thrilled. Time to get that elusive avatar. Did this combo make anyone else laugh really hard? But seriously, leverhelven is right -- even though there will be a few fountain faerie quests given out in this event just due to the sheer number of quests going on right now, the odds for any individual receiving one are the same as they always have been -- very, very, very low. We each only get a handful of quests, and we'll be lucky to get even one or two non-"regular" faeries (i.e., battle/space/FQ/etc. -- all of which are rare, but much more common than Fountain).
