Tips
- The pages are the only grind. Fairies have very high magic defense but no physical defense, so Warriors, Bowmen and Thieves kill them fastest. Magicians may want a party.
- Only 2 fairies spawn per map. Tree Dungeon, Forest Up North VI and VII both open off The Forest North of Ellinia, so hop between them.
- Someone Else's House is riskier at Lv28: it's Mushmom's map (Lv40 boss) and full of Iron Hogs. You reach it from Henesys through An Empty House, Pig Park and Pig Park II.
- Keep the Curse Eye Tails you get in Tree Dungeon, Forest Up North VI and VII. Mr. Wetbottom's Secret Book at Lv32 needs 50.
- After the pages it's a loop: Henesys, Perion, Sleepywood, Kerning City, then back to Ellinia. Stack it with your other errands in those towns.
Still being confirmed
- How fast the fairies respawn isn't confirmed. With only 2 per map, expect some waiting.
- The fairies go by Fairy 2 and Fairy 3 here. The name shown over them in game may be different.
