Welcome to the Faerie Festival Donation Event, where Illusen and Jhudora are competing to collect donations and prevent Neopia from turning grey! Donating items helps preserve resources, but the fate of Neopia still hangs in the balance—donations are limited to 30 items per day. The event runs from October 1st through October 9th, 11:59 PM NST, and donations can be made on the Faerie Festival page.
Items to Donate
You can donate most Neopoint item types and rarities:
- Any item with a rarity of r1 through r179 (with one exception—more on that below).
- Any item type category is acceptable—clothing, books, etc.
- Donate 1 to 10 items at a time. You don’t need to fill all 10 donation slots.
- You may donate items of mixed rarities in one submission.
Donation Restrictions
There are a few restrictions to keep in mind:
- r180 items cannot be donated.
- Neocash (r500) items cannot be donated.
- Sticky Snowballs (r100) are worth only 1 point each, despite their r100 rarity.
Donation Rewards
As you donate items, you’ll earn points that can be spent in the item prize shop. Each item donated awards you points based on its rarity. Here’s how the points break down:
- r1-r79: 1 point
- r80-89: 2 points
- r90-97: 6 points
- r98-r100: 4 points (except Sticky Snowballs, which are only 1 point)
- r101: 1 point
- r102-r179: 8 points
For example, donating three r101 items (1 point each) and two r90 items (6 points each) will give you a total of 15 points (1 + 1 + 1 + 6 + 6 = 15).
Maximizing Your Points
You can donate up to 30 items per day, and the maximum points per day is 240 points if you donate all r102-179 items. The event runs for 9 days, so the most you can earn during the event is 2,160 points.
Bonus for Donating 30 Items
If you donate the maximum of 30 items in a day, you’ll receive a special Faerie Donation Capsule, which can be opened to reveal additional items:
- 60% chance of an item from r90-95.
- 25% chance of an item from r96-98.
- 15% chance of an item from r99.
