Welcome to February!

Hello everyone! Welcome to February 2022, happy Lunar New Year! Hope you're having a lovely moonlit season.
Our twentieth month of limited shops has arrived:
February's theme is the Aurelian Soiree!

A tangle of lights denotes the loveliness of the evening.
The sun casts a wrinkle of pink hues over clinking cutlery,
a flurry of dancing and laughter unites.

See Full Item Previews here!
This month's limited rewards are a little different from usual,
we're releasing a pet along with some totems and food alongside
the clothing set. We won't be doing this every month, but it
might be fun to change things up once in a while!


The Aurelian Carousel is available in Pai's Shop of Wonders and hatches into the Aurelian Piglet!

What are Monthly Shops?
- Every month, Pai and Oran from Peddler's Port will have different sets of 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!

WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON
Here's a look into what we're prioritizing this month!
FEBRUARY ART DEVELOPMENT STREAM
This month, the art development stream will take place on...
FEBRUARY 7TH, 4PM DVT

We'll be working on Ravan items as well as wishes from the Wishing Well thread. Hope to see you there!
CUSTOM LIMIT
We're nearly ready to launch the sitewide custom maker limits! We'll be raising the drop rate as well as adding some info about custom distribution to the archive pages along with this upcoming update.
RECIPE BALANCING
Our art team is diligently at work on the large recipe pool rebalancing update, we still have a ways to go but will be aiming to have all of the artwork done some time in April.
QOL & OTHER UPDATES
Our coders are working on several different updates along with some more basic fixes and QoL changes this month. These updates will include bulk item alchemy, a latest updates link bar with convenient links on the front page, event fixes, and other optimizations.
QUEST BALANCING
Along with our previously outlined update plans to help balance daily errands and reduce clicks, we're looking into a way to allow a reroll of a task in each errand. This should help with avoiding tasks you can't do as well as keep the balance of different tasks intact.
BETA CHANGELOG & ROADMAP THREAD
These two items are on our to-do list, and will remain here until they are complete!


As always, thank you so much for playing and supporting
Dappervolk. We'll be back with more updates soon!
Comments
That said, the face is adorable and I look forward to seeing the whole thing once someone hatches it. Piggies aren't usually my thing, but this lil one looks exceptional so far. I'm also happy to see the beading, short hairs, and cravat in the potato shop, since those are my favorite clothes this month (those and the pale dress for turnips).
Also, I don't see Vaer quests on the future features anymore. Are those finished or temp scrapped? I'd love to do my Vaer favor quests.
