Class Peddlers Update!

Hello everyone! We're excited to announce that 41 new clothing items and 4 new hatch items have been added to the Class Peddlers' shops in Peddler's Port.

Depending on your character class, you'll be able to buy from your corresponding peddler and trade with others for the other items. These items are not class locked and may be equipped by anyone regardless of their player class. Trade freely and dress dapperly! The following are previews of what was added to each Peddler's shop.

New wares? Yeah... I figured you would notice. Each piece is hand crafted so handle them with care, alright?

Hello hello and welcome! It was about time I spruced things up around here, huh? Are you as excited as I am? Hehe.

My treasures, treat them well and you'll be duly rewarded. Perhaps you'll find joy in the collection of these things as I have.

There is a subtle joy in crafting replicas of things you love. I hope you enjoy what we've gathered... and see beyond the veil of the mundane.

Each peddler also offers a singular hatch item as their bonus claim prize.

Along with the new shop stock, your Class Peddler will now send you a birthday letter when you log into Dappervolk on your birthday and have a minimum of 300 affection with them! More ways to raise affection with them will arrive in the future. If you do have enough affection with them and haven't received your letter, simply chitchat with them again to remind them!

As always, we would like to thank everyone for playing and hope these new items spark some ideas for new outfits. We'll be back with more updates soon!
