Lake Fairies wru? 8(

[Zehnvhex]

Anybody know of any way to down/upgrade forest fairies or something? I'm on a quest that requires I have 100 lake fairies and I can't find them anywhere. I've completed the elf continent and none of the castles/houses have them. I've checked every island and zilch. It seems the troops you get from a wind scroll are fixed as well.

Anybody have any ideas short of cheating? Seems silly they'd include a quest to require lake fairies and then not make absolutely sure that at least one house will have them for sale. 8(
