Healing Springs
From NeoPets Guild
Sometimes a NeoPet gets sick. To heal a sick NeoPet you can go to the Water Faerie at the Healing Springs or give it the correct medicine. The big advantage of the Healing Springs is that it is free. The disadvantage is that it may take several visits before the faerie cures your pet.
[edit] Using the Healing Springs
Take your pet to the Water Faerie at the healing springs. You can visit the Water Faerie at the healing springs every 30 minutes. She will often give out free healing potions or will heal your pet at no cost. She may not heal your neopet the first time you go, but keep going and she will.
Note: When you go heal your pets at the Springs, it won't tell you that your Neopet is healed of a sickness. Just go the Quick Ref page (click on your active pet's name) and check every few times you go to the Springs if you aim to get your pet cured of a disease.
Even if your pet is healthy, it is worth going to the healing springs. You may get a free healing item, a snowball, or bonus hit points for your next fight in the Battledome. She can also heal hunger at times.
To get there, go to the Healing Springs on NeoPets.
[edit] Curing a Sick NeoPet using Medicine
If you don't want to wait for the faerie to heal your pet, you can get medicine to cure it.
To get medicine for a sick neopet:
- First you need to know the name of the illness your pet has. (Check the quick reference page.)
- Then you can take it to the hospital to find out what medicine will cure that illness.
- You can purchase the medicine (with NP) at the pharmacy or shops.
[edit] Selling Medicine
In Neopia, like in real life, diseases come in waves. When there is an epidemic of a particular neo-illness, the medicine to cure it will become much more expensive very quickly. If you are very patient, you can earn neopoints by buying medicines when they aren't popular, putting them in your shops for much more than you bought them, and waiting for that illness to break-out.
Some people think that it's mean to sell medicines for a big profit. However, the neopets can go to the healing springs, and they don't really suffer.
