Example #2 You have a pet that is level 25. This puts you into either the Pirate class at 5 dubloons or the Basic class at 2 codestones. You're looking at even more neopoints for training and a much longer time especially when you consider that you would need to train 2 times to get the stat increases. Even a Light Faerie quest at either level is cheaper and less time-consuming than training is.
You would really rather NOT do the quest? There are times when the quest just isn't reasonable or you don't have the neopoints to buy the item that the faerie is demanding. And while you're under that quest, you can't use the Shop Wizard. The faeries WILL wait for a while (maybe 24 hours or so?)
Water Faerie/The Water Faerie will ask for a book. In return, she will grant your pet Two (2) Defence points.
The Space Faerie/The Space Faerie will ask for any item. In return, she will grant your pet Four (4) Levels. As an added bonus, you may also get her as a Battledome challenger. If you are strong enough to beat her, and she's rated 450, then you'll get her avatar.
The Faerie Queen/The Faerie Queen, Fyora will ask you for any item. In return, she will grant your pet One (1) Level, Three (3) Strength, and Three (3) Hit (endurance) points. That's SEVEN (7) stat points
The Fountain Faerie/The Fountain Faerie will ask you for any item with a rarity of 90-99. So far, I've seen 7 quests and all of the items asked for have been a rarity of 95-96. I think it can be a bit higher or lower. In return, you will be granted Access to the Rainbow Fountain in Faerieland where you can PAINT your pet ANY color you want! Have you seen the prices of paint brushes recently You can only paint 1 pet and only 1 time so choose your color wisely. In order to paint another pet here, you'll have to complete another quest for her.
You have 2 training schools that you can use to increase your pet's statistics (called "stats" from here on). Actually, there are 3 schools but you can't access the Ninja Training School until your pet is above level 250. I don't have access to the Ninja Training School but I do know they use the red codestones, some of which are unbuyable (over 100,000 neopoints). I'll focus on the 2 basic ones for now.

look at a couple of examples. Air Faerie/The Air Faerie will ask you to bring her a beauty (grooming) product such as eyeshadow, blush, soap, conditioner, perfume, hair brush, mirror, etc. In exchange, she will grant your pet Two (2) Movement (agility) points.
Dark Faerie/The Dark Faerie will ask for a toy such as a plushie or one of many other toys. In return, she will grant your pet Two (2) Hit (endurance) points.
Example #1
Let's say that you have a pet that's level 3 and you've just been visited by the Fire Faerie. You can either train at one of the schools or you can complete her quest to gain 2 Strength points. Training At level 3, this means you are either a Sea Urchin or a Grasshopper, depending on which school you would like to attend. At either of these schools, you can train any one of 5 stats: Strength, Defence, Agility (movement), Endurance (hitpoints) or Level. This will cost you either one dubloon or one codestone and will take 2-4 hours. When the training is completed, you will receive an increase of 1 point in the stat you chose to train. On rare occasions, you may receive a bonus and increase 2 or 3 points in the given stat.
A One Dubloon Coin currently sells for around 3000 neopoints. The codestone that is asked for is completely random so it may be a Bri Codestone (cheapest at around 3000 neopoints) or it may be a Main Codestone (most expensive at around 5500 neopoints). However, in order to match what the Fire Faerie will give you, you will have to train TWICE That means an expense of 6000-11000 neopoints! It's also going to take 4-8 hours to get the stat increases. The Quest The Fire Faerie will grant you 2 Strength points IMMEDIATELY upon completing her quest! She's going to be MUCH cheaper and faster than using either of the 2 schools available to you. Do the quest
Hint If you just can't do the quest, it's much better to turn it down. Return to the Quest Hut to turn the quest down. You will then have to wait 600 seconds (that's 10 minutes). Return to the Quest Hut any time after that to be "forgiven" and told that you can again do quests.
Earth Faerie/The Earth Faerie will ask you to bring her a magic item such as a healing potion, battledome potion (Fire Jug, Steam Jug, Stream of Light, etc..), a mote, or even a Nova. In return, she will Feed your pet. This will not only restore all lost hit points but your pet will also gain a pound.
The Three (3) Special Faeries
Fire Faerie/The Fire Faerie will ask you to bring her an item of clothing such as a collar, bow tie, a shirt, overalls, boots, etc. In return, she will grant your pet Two (2) Strength (attack) points. Light FaerieThe Light Faerie will ask you to bring her a trading card. The trading cards are usually red, blue, pink, or green. In return, she will grant your pet One (1) Level.
