• Speak to Cro in the Grove to begin the seasonal quest "An Unfamiliar Path"
• There are 3 quests in total, to be unlocked in succession.
• The repeatable quest can be completed 5 times a day, allowing for progression and accumulation of currency.
• The Grove Goods Shop is stocked with Pann's items and will be open all month, taking Grove Treasure as currency!
• Other than quests, Grove Treasure can also be obtained through Random Encounters, Adventuring, and Turnip Thief.
• Clue - Take note of who you travel with, what paths you take, and at what time you take them.
  

 

 

• The ingredients to make the hatching item can be found in Pai, Agnes, and Oran's shops' Bonus Prize pools.
• The item alchemy recipe is available in your recipe book and shown above.
• This Seasonal Pet will remain in the shops for 3 months and rotate out at the end of November to be replaced by a pet for the next season.
• Seasonal pets are obtainable annually on a rotation! The hatching items can be alchemized at any time of the year.
  

 

• This is a preliminary poll, after which we'll be making more polls on subject matter and themes for various batches!
• Our plan is to make batches of merch and open preorders/orders at set times in order to get each batch shipped out in a timely manner.
• The type of merch and subject matter will be up to both staff discretion as well as user votes, such as this poll! 
  

Why do we want to make physical merchandise?
Offering physical merch through companies like Makeship is a passive form of advertisement that also helps us to support our team and fund additional development. Users have also been requesting multiple forms of physical merch since Dappervolk opened its doors and we would like to be able to fulfill some these suggestions/requests.

Does Dappervolk have prior experience making merch?
Yes! During our Kickstarter we offered merch sets with some tiers, successfully delivering all physical items on time after the funding ended. We are also very familiar with the process of product design and fulfillment and are excited to get back into the swing of making physical items.

Why not offer permanent merchandise instead of doing limited runs?
Since we have a small team and don't have the space or manpower to permanently set up shop delivering merch, we decided that doing batches would be the most sustainable method.

Will managing merchandise runs have an effect on site growth or staff productivity?
No, most of staff time will not need to be dedicated to the release of any physical merch beyond prototype approvals and the shipment of some items. All production will be handled by third party companies.

Is the winning merch type from this poll going to be the only merch being made?
No, this is an overall interest gauge for different types of merch, so that we know what's in the highest demand amongst our players. We're looking forward to making multiple types of merch going forward in different merch runs!

PEDDLER & WISHING WELL UPDATE
We're currently working on a shop update for the world-hopping peddlers in Peddler's Port! Some of the content is a long time coming and we're excited for everyone to add to their collections. We're also compiling our stockpile of wishing well related pets and items which we'll be releasing periodically over the next while.

DAPPERVOLK WIKI MIGRATION
Due to some recent overarching changes to the host behind our fan maintained Dappervolk Wiki that don't align with our site values, we've begun to make the move to a different wiki host (Miraheze) and we're happy with how it's coming along so far!

Once all of the content is successfully moved over, we'll be adding navigation to our official new wiki on Dappervolk itself to better direct any users who want to use it. The old wiki will still exist but will no longer be updated, we think Miraheze will be a much better place for fanmade guides compared to the old one due to its consumer friendly policies.

CUSTOM BATCH STATUS
Our current batch of Custom requests may be a little bit slower to come out this month due to some workload considerations, we'll be back on schedule by next month if there does end up being a delay! Thanks very much for your patience.
