Fairy

Fairies were added in March 2020. Fairies are the first 'advanced' race added to Project Gorgon. They come with a variety of advantages and disadvantages, and a player may only create a fairy after completing the quest Free Tortured Fairies given by Fazzi in the Winter Nexus. Doing so unlocks the option account-wide.

Fairies aren't just from another planet -- they're from another realm of existence with its own rules of time and physics. They are true immortals, and most are so many centuries old that they can't recall their youth at all.

Everyone knows that there are four types of fairies, one for each season. The Winter and Spring fae are dangerous and scary. The Summer and Fall fairies are more reasonable. (All player fairies are assumed to be Summer fae.)

In-game effects:

• Fairies may learn Fairy Magic, a subskill of Mentalism, and their own Fae (Race Skill), which allows them to break items down into
  

   

  Crystal Ice
  and
  

   

  Fairy Dust
  , then reconstitute those ingredients into a variety of useful items.
• Having wings, all Fairies may fly.
• Fairies are less physically strong than most other races, and have 16 fewer inventory slots as a result. They are also slightly more susceptible to knockbacks than other races.
• Also due to their relative lack of physical strength, fairies suffer a penalty of 10% to direct damage when wearing 3 or more pieces of most metal armor.
• Upon death, Fairies respawn in the Fae Realm, unless they use a
  

   

  Fairy Soul Anchor
  or are resuscitated by other means (any of the standard methods). They cannot Enter the Light.
• Fairies start with level 30 Ice Magic, Mentalism, Fairy Magic, Knife Fighting, and Animal Handling.
• Fairies begin with two pets, a bee and wasp, both Bond Level 100 (this means their pets will automatically level up to the Fairie's animal handling level as it grows).
• Fairies learn a different variant of the Knife Fighting skill Slice, called Slicing Ice, which uses thrown ice, operating at range instead of in melee. Crystal ice may also be used in place of metal throwing knives in abilities like Hamstring Throw and Fan of Blades.

Metal Armor Penalties

Fairies suffer a penalty to direct damage of 10% for wearing a suit (3 pieces) of metal armor. This penalty increases to 15% at 4 pieces, and to 20% at 5 pieces worn.

Exceptions

Not all metal armor is subject to this penalty. The following items are armor that is flagged so that Fairies can wear it without penalty:

Boots of the Summer Court   Boots of the Winter Court   Coat of the Summer Court   Coat of the Winter Court   Gauntlets of the Summer Court   Gauntlets of the Winter Court

Great Boots of the Winter Court   Great Coat of the Winter Court   Great Gauntlets of the Winter Court   Great Greaves of the Winter Court   Great Helm of the Winter Court   Greaves of the Summer Court

Greaves of the Winter Court   Helm of the Summer Court   Helm of the Winter Court   Indestructible Fae Knight's Helm   Winter Court Battle-Boots   Winter Court Battle-Coat

Winter Court Battle-Gauntlets   Winter Court Battle-Greaves   Winter Court Battle-Helm   Winter Court Murder-Boots   Winter Court Murder-Coat   Winter Court Murder-Gauntlets

Winter Court Murder-Greaves   Winter Court Murder-Helm

Note that

 

Great Gauntlets of the Winter Court

are flagged as wearable by fairies without penalty, but are (oddly) leather armor, not metal. All other items flagged this way are metal armor, as one might expect.

Beehive Quests - Help the Hive

Help the Hive is the name given to a series of reoccurring Quests offered by the Beehives in the Fae Realm. These quests are reserved for Fairy characters, who must first seek an introduction to Beehive A through the completion of Crelpin's quest, Meet the Hive. The Pollinate quest for Beehive A must also be completed before Help the Hive can be accepted.

Each Help the Hive quest can be completed every five days, with each rewarding 200 XP Fae (Race Skill) and a random reward.

Fairy Quests

Many NPCs offer quests only accessible to fairies. Newly awakened fairies should consider attempting to complete most of these quests, as doing so will unlock new abilities, skills, and provide XP in Fae (Race Skill).
