Hey there, looks like you just wandered in. Why not have a look around and stay for a while, maybe even start your own adventure, if you're into that.

Welcome to August!

Hello everyone! We hope you've been doing well and having fun as we kick off the start to the month of August. This update includes our new monthly shops announcement, event updates, and some pertinent progress reports!

Our second month of limited shops is finally here:
August's theme is the mysterious Rosethorn Forest!

These items were procured from the vision of a nighttime forest.
Freshly fallen leaves line the ground, soft crimson rendering your
footsteps silent. A perpetual dusk envelopes the gloom, vibrant
thorns block your path...

What are Monthly Shops?
  • Every month, Pai and Oran from Peddler's Port will have different sets of 6 items in their shops that will retire at the end of the month to be replaced by new stock.
  • These items are obtained from far away lands and follow the theme of the land they visited each month.
  • All retired items from Monthly Shops will eventually be able to be obtained very 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 Shop of Wonders
Pai will host these 6 items in their infinite stock shop this month for 200 turnips each. If you spend 2000 turnips, you will be able to choose a free item of your choice! Free item claims will expire 3 months after obtaining them.

Oran's Emporium
Oran's shop will be stocked with these 6 items for 9,000 potatoes per spin! The spin price has been increased compared to last month, in order to adjust for inflation as more currency is generated by players and the economy begins to find its footing after just over a month since the site launched.

These monthly shops will run until August 31st, after which they will be removed to house September's monthly items!

AUGUST SUMMER EVENT

We have a big summer event planned to happen some time this month. We're aiming for a mid-August release, so we will have more information about the specifics of the event for everyone soon!

Our Adventuring Riddle Contest is also now under way!
It ends on August 30th, 2020 so get your submissions in before then!
Read our event rules and submission instructions here.

PROGRESS UPDATES
Here are some updates on a few things we're working on behind the scenes!

Custom Maker Submission Queue
We are aiming to open the Custom Maker Submission page some time in August! An update will be released at least a few days prior to its release, in order to give everyone time to prepare their submissions. We have also compiled some basic information about the system below, for anyone that is interested:
  • Your place in the queue will be displayed after submitting your request.
  • You'll be able to make edits to your request up until an artist claims it in order to begin working on it.
  • There will be a set of request rules and guidelines to follow for making custom submissions.
  • Since there is currently only one artist (for the timebeing), the queue will likely be worked on in relatively chronological fashion. However, when we eventually are able to hire more artists to the team, requests will be claimed based on what different artists are most comfortable with in order to maximize efficiency.

Guild Bug Fix Progress
This past week, we've tackled many of the most pertinent bugs related to guilds and have made good progress! We're currently extensively retesting and working on making sure nothing new broke as well as fixing the rest of the bugs. We'll continue to bring you updates on our progress and announce this month when Guild creation will become available officially!

Vaer's Reef Affection Milestone Quests
Some users who have gotten over 500 affection with NPC's from the 5th town may have noticed that the quest they've unlocked is missing from their quest page. These quests will become available soon, as we've been hard at work behind the scenes revising some of the Vaer storyline with user feedback in mind. Thank you for your patience as we make the quests available!

Trades Market Rule Breaking
There has been an unfortunate trend frequently reported to the Ticket Desk, where some users have been intentionally offering nothing/only a few potatoes on many trade lots in the Trades Market (regardless of what is being asked for), in the hopes that the other person will accidentally hit "accept" instead of "reject". We'd like to clarify that this practice is considered scamming and should be reported by users who spot it happening.

Thank you so much for playing and supporting
Dappervolk. We'll be back with more updates soon!

    also i was under the impression you would bring the entire set into a firm bundled price? So there is none anymore? That's pretty bogus.
  • Villager Kaiidth (#19551) 1 Aug 2020, 3:40 am
    I love the new set. But I only just hit 100k potatoes. I don't think the jump in price is really needed. the price of 1 spin is more then most of the games chance machines ive seen at a 10x spin. the most of seen is 7k per 10. I didnt do the potatoes spins last month cause the potatoes are too high....
  • Villager Kaiidth (#19551) 1 Aug 2020, 3:44 am
    Took 14 spins to get 1 of each item. 126k /131k Is a lot of potatoes its what i saved after a month of playing and hatching things for other players... its way too high in my opinion
  • Villager Shadowbanish (#20601) 1 Aug 2020, 5:04 am
    The new clothing set is absolutely stunning! ❤ However, I'm really disappointed that Oran's prices aren't set. 6000 potatoes was a perfectly high enough price. Continuing to adjust it as inflation grows will only make his items more difficult for new and casual players to get.

    To adjust for inflation, there should be new potato sinks added, instead of having the price of established ones suddenly jacked up.

    Man I was hyped that some things got fixed and I was more comfortable dropping RLC on the item bundle since I opted to pass on last months but... I don't see one available? Am I an idiot and misremembering previous posts or is there just just not a bundle currently available...?
  • Villager Fawn (#58) 1 Aug 2020, 5:46 am
    This set is stunning!! :O
  • Villager Hall (#3178) 1 Aug 2020, 5:58 am
    iirc the july update didn't say anything about removing agne's turnip bundle. where go??
  • Villager Hall (#3178) 1 Aug 2020, 6:00 am
    also raising the potato price kinda sucks. but the set looks amazing.
  • Villager brighteningsky (#13977) 1 Aug 2020, 6:03 am
    Oof aa my potaoes. The items are beautiful !!!
  • Villager Dilla (#35971) 1 Aug 2020, 6:06 am
    Really not happy with an unannounced price jack. Who does that? Game inflation? What the actual? That has got to be one of the lamest reasonings I’ve heard since playing World of Warcraft tbh. Good job there. Way to spoil an absolutely lovely set with a boneheaded decision. I am incredibly disappointed, especially since it opens the door for you to continuously jack the price up, making it impossible at some point to get them at all without doing some real life currency exchanges with turnips to potatoes. They are already expensive. Everything on this game is already expensive. Stop showing your dirty underbelly that you just want people to sink real life currency into this game one month into launch. It’s not flattering at all. The more I think about this the more disgusted I am.

    Everything looks amazing. The outfits are absolutely wonderful, I've just completely freaked out to my housemate about them! The colour theme is TO DIE FOR.

    The new shop system is looking good!

    And thank you so much for taking a stand against those scammy trades, I really appreciate that you guys are getting involved in this. It's a gross thing people do.
  • Villager hemotypewriter (#315) 1 Aug 2020, 6:17 am
    The new items are gorgeous, and thanks for pointing out that we can report those horrible spam offers!

    Increasing the turnip price seems pretty unfair though, it's already very difficult to get turnips if you aren't a paying player, and with the gatcha gone there won't be nearly so many doubles to go into the market for people to buy with potatoes. I get that it's supposed to prevent things from dropping to 5k potatoes again but still ouch. This is a huge turnip sink (which is important!) so I think you should reconsider how you balance this as you monitor the economy.
  • Villager hemotypewriter (#315) 1 Aug 2020, 6:18 am
    Also agreed that the increased price of the spins is more than a bit harsh on newer players, increasing the price just punishes everyone considering it's still a random item.
  • Villager DOGBRAIN (#19114) 1 Aug 2020, 6:25 am
    I'm excited for the mid-August event! I don't really have an opinion on the new premium shop updates, but some of the items are really pretty! I'll just continue to hoard more and more potatoes.

    100% agree with Shadowbanish (#20601)
