Project Gorgon Fae Guide: Fae Energy And Leveling
Fae in Project Gorgon is a race skill that only Fairy characters can use. It controls your Fae Energy and unlocks abilities tied to being a fairy. You do not train it like a normal combat skill. Instead, you level it through fairy quests, repeatable content, and specific activities unique to the race.
If you are not playing a Fairy, this skill does not exist for you.
Unlocking The Fairy Race
Before you can use Fae, you must unlock the Fairy race. This is done by completing the Free Tortured Fairies quest on your current server.
Once unlocked, Fairy becomes available during character creation on that server. Only Fairy characters receive the Fae race skill automatically.
There are no trainers for Fae. It is granted by race selection.
What The Fae Skill Actually Does
Fae is not a traditional combat line like Sword or Fire Magic. It supports fairy specific mechanics and systems.
Its main resource is Fae Energy. Many fairy abilities and certain Alchemy recipes consume Fae Energy. If you run out, you cannot use those abilities until you recover more.
Fae works alongside Fairy Magic, which is a Mentalism sub skill that provides combat spells for fairies. Fae supports the racial mechanics, while Fairy Magic handles offensive casting.
Understanding Fae Energy
Fae Energy is a unique resource separate from Health, Power, and Armor. It fuels abilities like Free Flutter and other fairy actions.
You restore Fae Energy in several ways.
Killing enemies that are above your current Fae Energy value
Using Foamy Fae Energy Potion
Using Gooey Fae Energy Potion
Random recovery while crafting Fae recipes
Enemy kills restore 1 Fae Energy per kill, but only if the enemy’s level is higher than your current Fae Energy. For example, if you have 28 Fae Energy and defeat a level 30 enemy, you go to 29. If you already have 30 Fae Energy, defeating that same enemy does not increase it further.
Foamy Fae Energy Potion restores up to 40 Fae Energy but cannot raise you above 40. Gooey Fae Energy Potion restores up to 30 but cannot raise you above 30.
This cap interaction matters when farming energy efficiently.
How To Level Fae Efficiently
There are 2 main sources of Fae experience.
Starting fairy quests give a large amount of Fae experience. Completing early fairy content can push you into the 20 to 25 range without grinding.
The Help the Hive quests are repeatable every 5 days. There are 12 of them, and each awards 200 Fae experience. These are one of the most reliable long term leveling methods.
Midge the Apothecary and Crelpin also offer hangouts that reward Fae experience.
Unlike combat skills, you do not level Fae by killing enemies repeatedly. You level it through fairy focused content.
Synergies And Related Skills
Fae does not gain Bonus Synergy Levels from other skills.
It connects thematically to:
Fairy Magic
Fae Anatomy
Sigil and Alchemy systems that consume Fae Energy
If you are playing Fairy Magic as your combat setup, keeping Fae leveled ensures smoother energy management and access to fairy systems.
Advice For Fairy Players
Do not ignore Help the Hive quests. The 5 day cycle makes them easy to forget, but they are a major chunk of experience.
Manage your Fae Energy carefully. If you are close to the energy value of enemies you are fighting, target slightly higher level enemies to gain consistent +1 energy per kill.
Carry the correct potion for your energy range. Foamy Fae Energy Potion is stronger but still capped at 40.
Fae is not flashy like a damage skill, but it defines how efficient and flexible your Fairy character feels. If you plan to stay Fairy long term, investing time into leveling Fae early will save you friction later when your abilities start demanding more energy control.
