Bug Net
The page says you need the Golden Bug Net in order to catch fairies, but I just caught several that I ran into on the surface with a normal net. They were hovering over a fallen log as I was running to the ocean, and not knowing what they were, I just went for them with my normal net and caught them all. I am in Journey Mode, so unsure if that affects anything, but even if it does it might be worth noting.

Screenshot I took after I read the page and got confused. FortunaDraken (talk) 05:24, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Twice I encountered fairies undersround (one blue and one pink) that I could not catch. Maybe they can only be caught on the surface or near the fallen logs?- Aurelian Wolf
 * Or maybe normal bug nets work at surface level but golden is required below that? What net were you trying with? Malorion (talk) 01:12, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Even with a golden bug net, I can't catch fairies that were leading me to treasure. MageKing17 (talk) 05:05, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I was using a normal bug net on the surface fairies, I haven't gotten the gold one yet. Haven't found any more surface ones yet to check if it was a fluke or not. FortunaDraken (talk) 06:17, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

A fairy ran away from me
I found a fairy on the surface near a Fallen Log, and I though to catch it (with a normal Bug Net). It tried to fly away, but I caught up and did catch it. I do not know if it ran because of the bug net or because it was near a Fallen Log, but it should be noted that this can happen and, in this state, a normal Bug Net can catch them.

Page Categorization
Unsure if this page should exist or be split up into the fairy colors; please change as more info gets revealed. Breathlessblizzard (talk) 21:59, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Colors?
Can someone verify that the fairy colors actually correspond to different types of treasure? Unsure if true, as I recall a green fairy leading Chippy to a heart crystal in pre-release. Breathlessblizzard (talk) 21:59, 16 May 2020 (UTC)


 * From what I've seen so far, I've encountered a green fairy leading me to an underground cabin, and blue fairies leading me to both chests and crystal hearts. I haven't seen anything about large ore deposits yet. 71.192.216.103 19:12, 17 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I dont belive that colors nessesary corespond to what type of loot the faries will lead to, I also had an encounter with a green fairy leading me to an underground cabin chest. --GunterthePenguin 23:33, 17 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I had a green fairy and a pink fairy both show me a heart crystal and have seen on a stream a pink leading to a chest, so I'm 100% sure the colours don't matter. 75.97.211.164 14:46, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Fairy Treasure
The page specifies that fairies can lead to a gold chest, I had a fairy lead me to a web-covered chest underground. I don't know if I'm posting this properly but I thought I would comment on it. LogiBear18086861 (talk) 03:17, 17 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I don't think the fairies leading to specific treasures is true at all, I just had a blue fairy lead me to a life fruit. I think they may just take the player to the nearest most valuable thing, like a metal detector would. Invinciblespeed (talk) 12:50, 17 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Agreed, I had a blue fairy lead me to a gold chest and just now a green fairy led me to a life crystal. Malorion (talk) 14:46, 17 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I believe they always lead you to the nearest treasure including Chests, Life Crystals, Life Fruits, and I believe once for me, an ore vein with Platinum. --Creeper_NoDenial (talk) 03:18, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

The image
Should we move the images already present to *Color* Fairy (Light Pet) or give the Light Pet images new files?

Empty chests
The Notes section states fairies can lead you to "An already opened Chest if it's not empty", but this doesn't seem to be the case for me. I've been lead to empty chests twice by fairies, can someone test this?

Fairy Banner
At the moment, 'Blue Flare' is linked off the chart as the fairy's banner. It should probably be tweaked! 72.39.111.222 12:17, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

That seems to be a problem with auto npc information delivery to the infobox which is messed up recently. Appears that everything without a banner will get Blue Flare as its banner... And banner tag does not accept "no" or anything that tries to remove the tag. Trying to fix that but likely unable. Anyone who knows ways to edit cargo information? Creeper_NoDenial (talk) 13:19, 26 May 2020 (UTC)


 * An admin seems to have fixed it, try purging the page and see if it works. --172.58.175.26 13:21, 26 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Yep now it's gone. Great! Creeper_NoDenial (talk) 13:25, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Time fairies hang around
I had one spawn, and lingered in one place. It stayed for almost exactly 5 minutes (arrived at ~8:23PM, left at ~1:19 AM). Confirmation on the spawn being 5 minutes before they vanish of their own accord (if they haven't led someone to a treasure)?

Scared fairies?
I killed a fairy for the Bestiary entry, and now fairies fly away from me in a straight line without leading me to treasure, no matter what I hold or do. Is this a thing? 108.217.54.150 00:18, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
