Retired Abilities/Faerie Abilities

The original Faerie Abilities were Battledome abilities that could be learned by releasing Bottled Faeries. These old abilities were retired and removed from the Neopets website when the Battledome closed down for renovations on October 17, 2012. They were replaced by the modern Faerie Ability system that is still in use today.

The old faerie abilities were divided into six types, each of which corresponded to one of the six types of bottled faerie that existed at the time. The type of ability that a Neopet learned when releasing a bottled faerie depended on the type of faerie that was being released. For example, opening a Bottled Water Faerie would teach a Neopet a water faerie ability.

In order to learn an specific ability, a Neopet had to meet the minimum level required for that ability and also had to have already learned all the preceding abilities of the same type as the desired ability. For example, in order to learn the Haste ability, a Neopet would have had to be at least level 8 and must have also already learned both the Spark ability and the Air Shield ability. If a Neopet released a bottled faerie but did not meet the requirements to learn a new ability, the released faerie would simply fly away and have no effect.
