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!

    @#35971 They've been this way since beta so it's not all that surprising, lol. Sorry you joined just to face this madness. It's probably only going to get worse.
  • Villager VEE (#675) 1 Aug 2020, 6:44 am
    why would you jack up the price for the potato spins to 9k? 6k was already super steep... this is not okay lol. just make this change without talking to your userbase about it at all? disappointing :/ do yall even know what the users want lol
  • Villager Atreyu (#10812) 1 Aug 2020, 6:48 am
    I was really happy because it was actually feasible for me to get the potato items last month but still a challenge to get it( cant even fathom getting enough turnips because i cant play as much as id like due to rl like work and stuiff) now it will be even harder for me to get the items :<
  • Villager Wetdog (#18251) 1 Aug 2020, 6:48 am
    The items are gorgeous, although I agree that raising prices makes it more difficult for casuals like myself to purchase the items we want :/
  • Villager Dilla (#35971) 1 Aug 2020, 6:48 am
    Spiral (#11873) a lot of game developers are about the almighty dollar it’s just always super disappointing to find yet another team that shows their stripes (and this early too). I think one month might be a record for a site without on page advertising. It’s an incredible shame. Leave potato prices alone - it’s hard enough for a lowly player. Good grief.
  • Villager Quistain (#5381) 1 Aug 2020, 6:52 am
    Thinking about what people said about the price jack: I find that this is causing quite a division between very active players and casual players. Active players can easily earn 50k+ a day, maybe even more, but not everyone has that kind of time, so 9k for a single spin is already steep. I'm hoping that this is the final increase since we're not going to get any towns for a while, or if this is actually an experiment or something and then they'll bring it back down.
  • Villager Dilla (#35971) 1 Aug 2020, 6:53 am
    I think if it had been a *small* increase it would be one thing as well, but no - it literally was a 50% unannounced increase in price. It’s steep for “inflation” that most casual players aren’t actually seeing in their potato supply.
  • Villager Omega (#19478) 1 Aug 2020, 6:57 am
    It cannot be said enough: Thank you SO MUCH for the previews of the wearables. I wish we had individual ones, but I can see what each one is in the previews, so now I know which one(s) to buy! :D

    Thank you!!!!!

    Omg, people are always complaining... that's so annoying, I'll just come in the comments to tell what I think and don't ever spend any time reading all of these whinners from now on '-' 54k is nothing even for casual players... it'd take less than a week completing the quests only for one town every month. If you're even more casual than that, what are you doing in a petsite? I mean, yeah, people can play casually, but then they shouldn't expect having everything everyone who play daily have. Every petsite I know have events that require daily interactions, I don't get why people are complaining, honestly...

    On the other hand, I love the new items, even though I'd rather have a premium gacha so I could pay less for the items, but it doesn't bother me that it's a shop, really. And this month's items are soooo more usable than last month's, imho. Looking forward for the event and guilds being active.

    I’d also like to note that yes, I can make the potatoes to do 10 spins in a day or so—- but- I think this early price jack sets a precedent that is simply not one I want to deal with. Let’s lay this out - since this is the second month only..... - if there’s a 50% increase every month, one month in they decided there was already enough inflation to warrant an increase—- and there is no new content—I’m going to extrapolate that “inflation” is only going to continue—— - these are going to end up monstrously expensive in no time. Im just going by the precedent they just set. I have nothing else to go on. As pretty as this set is, I don’t know that I’m willing to put forth the time investment for something that is supposed to be fun for that sort of future. I’ve been down that road before and it’s rocky - THAT’S why I’m complaining. If you don’t understand that, then you haven’t been through this before, with multiple other games. Count yourself lucky but don’t discount my experiences and lack of trust.
  • Villager Marceline (#2194) 1 Aug 2020, 7:21 am
    Will it not be in a bundle like last months? I dont have time to make potatoes and would just like to flat buy the box lmao
  • Villager Rydiante (#118) 1 Aug 2020, 7:24 am
    I like some of the new pieces.. but you guys have inconsistent outlines in your own sets now! Why are some of the items painterly & some not?
    Also with more items being released and since we're over a month into the game now.. isn't it about time for a storage option? If you guys are so concerned about the economy and the tradesmarket, we'd really appreciate you giving us a vault so we can stop making storage trades.
  • Villager Shadowbanish (#20601) 1 Aug 2020, 7:34 am
    "If you're even more casual than that, what are you doing in a petsite?"

    Heaven forbid people with very busy and incredibly stressful lives spend a small portion of their minimal free time on something they enjoy and that brings them a little happiness.
  • Villager SleepyLamb (#8693) 1 Aug 2020, 7:44 am
    LOVE the beautiful new items <3
  • Villager Sveltie (#839) 1 Aug 2020, 7:54 am
    Glad I don't really care for this set, because I would not pay 9k for a single spin. Echoing everyone else here who thinks the price increase is ridiculous (and a little bit underhanded tbh).
