July Update!
Hello world-hoppers! Welcome to July, our official first of a month on Dappervolk after launching. We'd like to thank everyone for a lovely launch week! It's been amazing to see everyone's response to our long months of hard work. We hope to continuously improve on the game and we're so excited to share more of it with you!
Without further ado, our first order of business is the unveiling of our very first Monthly Shop. July's theme is Mothlike!
These items were procured from a distant land full of moonlight, dusty books, and hidden knowledge.
What are Monthly Shops?Without further ado, our first order of business is the unveiling of our very first Monthly Shop. July's theme is Mothlike!
These items were procured from a distant land full of moonlight, dusty books, and hidden knowledge.
- Every month, Pai, Oran, and Agnes from Peddler's Port will have different sets of 6 items in their shops that will retire at the end of the month.
- These items are obtained from far away lands and follow the theme of the land they visited each month.
- The items will retire at the end of each month to be replaced by new stock.
- All retired items from Monthly Shops will eventually be able to be obtained rarely from Grandma Agnes later on.
How can I get to Peddler's Port?
Peddler's Port is a seaside location that you can unlock by going through the main storyline in Louise Hill. Once unlocked, you can visit Peddler's Port any time without using up a town hop!
Pai's Machine of Wonders
Pai will host these 6 items in their shop this month for 180 turnips per spin. If you spin 10 times, you will be able to choose a free item of your choice! Free spins will expire after about 3 months.
Oran's Emporium
Oran's shop will be stocked with these 6 items for 6000 potatoes per spin!
Agnes' Perpetual Shop
Agne's now hosts a Mothlike Silver Chest that contains a full set of items from Pai's shop at a higher total turnip cost.
These monthly shops will run until July 31st, after which they will be refurbished to house August's monthly items!
The Charity Pet Sale will be concluding on July 4th, we will be donating all remaining proceeds by the 5th and sending out redemption code emails then!
The Launch Support Bundles will be retiring permanently on July 5th, after which they will no longer be available!
All remaining redemption codes will be sent out after the 5th.
Upcoming Events
We have a big summer event planned to happen some time in August.
For the time being, we will likely be hosting another Adventuring Riddle Contest at some point this month!
That's all for now, we'll be updating everyone through future news and status posts!
Thank you so much for playing and supporting Dappervolk.

But there's Agnes shop, and even if it seems the box is at higher cost at her place, I would assume it is lower, if you count in mathematical statistics of how often you'd need to spin to get a full set at the gacha shop. (I did not go through the math, I am not a specialist for this kind of math anyways, but I made an average guesstimation that I am very sure is true.) Of course you could get lucky in the gacha, and pay less for the set's items individually than for the box. But if you take in account upcoming months' gachas, Agnes shop just is the better investion. °shrug°
I see how it might be a legal problem, however. Not sure if the legality is recovered by offering the complete box at a set price as well? Devs, please do check back on that! I worry it might become an awful issue!
I know this is a personal stigma caused by other sites, but I'm sad that a freshly opened (to the public anyways) site has followed that pattern on the very first monthly release.
I say this recognizing that I go not understand the legailty of gachas for real life currency.
HOWEVER, I do think that it would be better to market this site to 18+ or at the very least gate purchases to the 18+ members. :)
On the bright side, I do appreciate the potato gatcha and the moth theme this month, and I'm looking forward to seeing what subsequent months bring.
It's enough of a shame that you only have a chance to obtain half of the set without buying premium currency, but being forced to gamble your money on maybe getting some of the other half of the set is pretty frustrating.
I was excited when I saw this set, I love the art and the aesthetic. But I can't justify spending money on *maybe* getting some of the items, so I might as well not even bother.
okay but seriously, gambling with real currency for items in a child friendly game? Not cool my dudes.
it's predatory no matter who you are, or how you do it. i'm just saying!
