The following updates have been applied to all Louise Hill Daily Errands.
  • Maximum completions for each daily quest in Louise Hill have gone from 7 to 3.
  • A reroll option with the player choice text "Can I help you with something else instead?" has been added to the beginning of each task.
    • This option can be used once per quest completion to generate a new task different from the initial one.

  • Tasks have been either edited or scaled according to the reduced number of dailies each day. Some higher effort tasks such as adventuring have stayed the same for better balancing.
  • Positive quest ending potato rewards were greatly increased.
  • Affection gained or lost has been multiplied to be equal to doing 7 quests previously.
  • Conecake rewards are now multiplied and increased.
  • Dual-stat NPC's now give out a random assortment of the two types of conecakes instead of a set kind.
  • Dialogue has been compressed to fewer total text boxes to lessen clicks.
  • Transitions and redirects have been updated to be more streamlined and give users more freedom.

futureplansbanner.png
  • This is the first major installment of daily quest balancing that we have planned. We're planning to release these updates town by town in order to eventually balance all existing towns.
  • With the addition of new items as well as bonus prize pools for NPC shops, we're aiming to make it so that certain items are obtained by choice rather than by chance. For example, the pen expansions were being dropped too often and filling up inventories without any purpose, now they can be picked up only if the user wants one.
  • In addition, the bonus prize and shop stock updates have opened the possibility of adding new items more easily to NPC shops in the future within smaller content updates.
  • We'll be looking at how everything plays out on site scale and making any adjustments and notes for future updates!
  • Coming up next is the 3's Forest daily balancing, which will include a rebalancing of the 3 witches' temporary dailies within the main questline.
  • It's our hope that these balancing updates will make one of the core mechanics of Dappervolk more streamlined, less click intensive, less repetitive, as well as giving users some agency via the reroll option.

We hope you enjoy this balancing update, thank you for supporting and playing Dappervolk! We'll be back with more updates soon.

    The new items are beautiful, but the dailies updates are *amazing*. I've honestly had a hard time playing since beta, because everything's been... pretty grindy, but going through Louise Hill today felt *fun* and not horribly daunting. I actually didn't mind solving riddles for Lilia or playing minigames because I didn't feel like the number of tasks I had was insurmountable. So like... from my ADHD-suffering self, thank you devs So Much!

    YOOOOOOO THESE LOOK INCREDIBLE AHHHHHHHH
  • Villager XerxesTxToast (#51698) 17 Jun 2022, 8:02 pm
    Really cool! I'd like to report that I can no longer tell Calbet that his hair isn't as cool as Farmhand's or that I won't help Buli. Negative options no longer exist. Can they be brought back so I can take advantage of the affection boost in both directions?
  • Villager MysteryCorgi (#27773) 17 Jun 2022, 8:06 pm
    Nice, looking forward to getting the new stuff. Thanks, team.
  • Villager Darkerdemons (#20213) 17 Jun 2022, 8:07 pm

  • Villager XerxesTxToast (#51698) 17 Jun 2022, 8:34 pm
    I have discovered how to bully Calbet again! Ignore my previous comment

  • Villager Hippie (#24494) 17 Jun 2022, 10:23 pm
    GREAT update thank you all for the work you do! the site has come a long way!
  • Villager TakaEdakumi (#56479) 18 Jun 2022, 1:30 pm
    Loving these new items, especially all the pretty new eyes! ' O '

    I think it's fantastic that you've condensed the amount of dailies too, it makes it so much more appealing for me to actually do them! I can't wait for the rest of the towns to follow suit!

    My only gripe would be that there is no warning to tell people that the added fourth colors of NPC items do not alchemize into the extra color like the old ones do. I didn't run into that problem myself, but I only knew because my sister told me after she found out the hard way.

    Everything about this update is amazing. Thank you!
