What is the Healing Springs?
The Healing Springs, discovered on the 13th of January, 2001, is located in Faerieland at the waterfall. You can go there to restore your pet's health, hunger, and mood. The Healing Springs is operated by a water faerie named Marina who has dedicated her life to harnessing the powers of the springs to magically heal pets and to creating items from the spring waters. The Healing Springs is popular for those who frequent the Battledome (or the Snowager). The Healing Springs Faerie was featured in Atlas of the Ancients.
Nov 02, 2013 TNT – Please Fix The Battledome In-Depth Battledome Guide Level – Your pet’s level doesn’t affect your battling. However, if you train at the Training School or Swashbuckling Academy, you cannot train strength, defence, or movement if those stats are double your level. If your endurance (HP) is three times your level, you cannot train that, either.
The Outcomes
| Healing Springs Welcome to my home of healing and relaxation. What can I do for you today? Maybe I can heal your Neopets, or perhaps you would like to purchase some of my healing potions? Please choose one of the three options below. You must remember that my magic is limited so I can't heal your pets that often. Also, I'm currently running out of potions so I am limiting one to each customer per visit. |
Once you arrive at the Healing Springs, Marina will give you the option of either healing your pets or buying something from her shop. When you select 'Heal my Pets' Marina will either heal your pets with her powers or give you an item from her shop.

The Store
When Marina isn't constantly chanting magical spells and giving away healing items, she is selling potions and elixirs. You can access her store by selecting 'See what is for sale' on the main Healing Springs page. There are a couple of cons that come with buying healing items from the Healing Springs Store. For instance, all items you can buy at the Healing springs can be bought at a much cheaper price on the Shop Wizard. Additionally you will have to wait 30 minutes before buying another item at the Healing Springs, which isn't convenient during a plot with battles.
Below is a table of items you can buy from the shop, where they can be used, and what they do.

Remember, you may only use the Healing Springs once every 30 minutes. This rule of 30 minute breaks between use also applies to the Healing Springs store. If you try to select 'Heal my Pets' more than once every 30 minutes you will receive this message.

You will receive a similar message if you try to buy another item from the Healing Springs Shop before 30 minutes time has passed.

Also, you may not access the Healing Springs while in the middle of a battle at the Battledome. You will have to finish the battle before using the magical springs. If you're wondering wether or not you're in the process of battling the forces of evil, simply check the Battledome status page.
| Healing Springs The Water Faerie says a few magical words and... No way!!! - Trying to get healing while in a battle eh? Come back later! |
During The Faeries' Ruin the Healing Springs wasn't accessible because Marina had been turned to stone at the Faerie Festival! However, the Springs did give out snowballs and healing items!

Related Editorials
Below are a few editorials that may answer further questions. ☼I AM SO CONFUSED!!! D: Can we or can't we visit the Healing Springs on a side account? Oh, and here: *gives Poison Snowball* yeah... The Healing Springs faerie gave me this instead of healing my 'pet with Blurred Vision. -_- ~toxicheart16
Yes. The Healing Springs is exempt from the 'no items on sides' rule, as we want to make sure all your Neopets have a chance at good health. :)
Yes, we discussed it and we wanted everyone to continue visiting the Springs on side accounts to keep all their Neopets healthy. With that in mind, the main purpose of the Springs is still to heal your Neopets and the added prizes are quite rare to even out the spread. (Their 'drop chance' is based on average visits per player, rather than the usual one. Yay, maths!) So, the new ones are much harder to get, but we think you'll be quite pleased if you do happen to get one. And if that does happen on a side account, you can send the item to your main account to sell, just like you would a Random Event item.
Yup, cured is cured at the Healing Springs. That's one powerful faerie!
Hahaha... yep. If you're trying to squeeze out that next Defenders of Neopia challenger, now would be a great time to do it. ;D
Hi Wondermag2! TNT here! Alas, if you go into battle with a Neopet whose Hit Points have been buffed up by visits to the Healing Springs, they will drop down to the max that they should be, even if you win.
If your Neopet's health drops to 0 he or she will be unable to participate in the Battledome, but will otherwise be fine. There are plenty of ways to bring your Neopet back to health by using healing potions, visiting the Healing Springs in Faerieland, and feeding it more (we're grinning as we type that last one), among other things.
Healing Potion X Neopets Free
Aww, no. Your Neopet will never die, so don't worry! We see you've already discovered the Healing Springs as your Mynci has 23/3 hit points, so keep going there. Eventually that kind faerie will cure your Neopet's disease.
Introduction to Healing
Ever since the removal of healing after winning a battle when the new battledome was released, healing between fights has became a serious issue which needs to be addressed. While in the past you could simply heal 1hp and kill Inflatable Balthazar life is by no means as simple now. Now you may have read our old beginners guide on healing which detailed the basic concepts of healing including normal and overhealers and the mechanics behind them. However, this guide will go more in-depth into the actual ways to heal both inside and outside combat.
Healing Potion X Neopets
Battledome Healing
Healing During Combat
While the bulk of this article will assume you are trying to heal from a already completed battle, for the sake of completeness I will give a small section to the choices of healers for during combat. While we shall not go into a wall of names there is still plenty to discuss as it should also allow us to set up a few concepts for later.
On top of the concepts of Normal/Overhealers which were described in the beginner article, there is one more main distinction to think about. Is it a bulk icon healer such as a Greater Healing Scroll or a Percentage Healer such as a Bag of Healing Dust or a Velms Healing Potion? If you have particularly low hp a cheapish scorchstone such as a Blue Scorchstone's overheal may provide you some extra breathing room. Over that, a Greater Healing Scroll for the 50-150hp pets. Over 500hp and the Velms Healing Potion becomes a cheap option before you can upgrade to a percentage healer.
Moving to a percentage healer is often a natural progression when you reach over about 150-250hp. Besides the obvious healers such as the Bag of Healing Dust and the more expensive Leaded Elemental Vial there are several species healers which often end up costing less. While the best of these is for the Kacheek, there are other weaker species options around for other pets. The pets with good healers include the following: Lenny, Blumaroo, Elephante, Gelert, Nimmo, Uni and Shoyru. But some of these options may be too expensive. Pets with a particularly high amount of hp may also consider a Ice Scorchstone or Sword of Lameness as they both offer low percentages of 100% healing. While these last two items do not offer a reliable enough solution to the healing problem, they do have a use which we shall mention later in this article.
Healing After Combat
So you are finished with combat and are looking for a good way to heal due to the lack of healing after combat? Depending on if you get knocked out in combat or not you do have options we can look at. If you did not hit 0hp during combat and have at least around a quarter of your health remaining you may consider starting a battle with the weakest opponent you can. When in combat, use faerie abilities and healing items to attempt to heal to maximum. If you are confident you can heal in one turn, also use an attacking item to help kill the weak opponent. Out of plot you can hopefully rely on either Punchbag Bob if you have time or, after he comes back, Inflatable Balthazar to accommodate you when healing.
If your healer takes too many battles to heal you may consider using a Golden Sun Chalice or Ice Scorchstone to heal you. These items work well since while they have a low chance to heal, when they do it is full. So if you are facing an opponent who either can't damage you (or at least can't finish you off) you can keep fighting till it works, then finish him off.
If you're at 0hp, use the out of dome healing strategies outlined below to cheaply get you to a point you can heal with the methods above. If you have a pet with a ton of hp, for example, this means you will only have to shell out for one Essence of Everlasting Apple (or comparative healer) instead of five. If you are able to fight something which doesn't damage you at all, then all you need to heal this way is the cheapest potion you can find to bump you past 0hp.
Outside of Dome Healing
Healing Springs
The first port of call when you need healing is always the Healing Springs. This can offer you one free heal (if you are lucky) every half an hour, but more importantly offers a cheap way to purchase either the Essence of Everlasting Apple or the Super Strength Healing Potion at below SW price during plot times. However, realistically you may faint more then every half an hour, making you need more strategies.
Healing Potion X Neopets List
Potions
Selecting a potion is purely based on two things, how much hp you have to restore and how much the potion costs. During plot times all potions normally raise to over double their value, so often it is a good idea to stock up in advance and use them in combination with the above in-battle healing strategies. While often it may seem normal to stock up on the items called 'Healing Potions', for most battlers the best value potions will always be the Essence of Everlasting Apple, Bubbling Healing Goo, Dewberry Reviver and Super Strength Healing Potion. While an Orange Flavoured Tea may seem like a good idea for pets with a LOT of hp, often the in-battle strategies work better and items like the Jade Elixir even become better value.
Conclusion
Since the downfall of healing after battle, healing has became a ton more annoying, but with the right items and proper preparation we can still get by fine. Be it healing in battle against weak opponents or stocking up on and using copious sums of potions, there is always a way past the limitations and back into the dome sooner. Just remember the price rises during plots, and you should be back in the dome in no time.
