KELBI EVENT PROGRESS
Here's a peek at our current progress on the upcoming Kelbi event: 
Art Assets: 75%
Writing: 80%
Coding: 100%
News on this event's launch is coming after mid month!

STAFF RECRUITMENT PLANS
We're doing final preparations and will be posting our staff recruitment information early this month! We had originally planned to post it later in June, but shuffled things around to allow for smooth event updates.

AVIAR COVE BALANCING
We'll be embarking on artwork and quest updates for Aviar Cove balancing this month, and are aiming to release it in the next month or two. We're also going to plan out some potato sink content drops in order to combat the inflation that will be caused by additional town balancing.

ROADMAP UPDATES
After our current event plans and other priorities are complete, we'll be updating our Roadmap thread and moving certain plans up in priority to focus on them next!

• The quest is repeatable twice a day, you can obtain Pearl Trinkets to spend in the Pearl Gala Gift Shop!
• After several days, you will be able to choose to attend the banquet.
• After you attend the banquet, you can continue repeating the quest for smaller rewards until the end of the Anniversary festivities on July 5th, 11:59PM DVT!
  

The Pearl Gala Gift Shop opens June 22nd 12AM DVT
All items from previous years are available in this shop along with the following new items for the duration of the anniversary!


They can be obtained in the following ways:

• Anniversary Daily Quest: "The Pearl Gala"
• Agnes' Daily Gift Quest
• Officiator's Official Token Exchange Quest
• Random Events
• Random Alchemy
• Alchemizing 5 Decorations together
  

The Winter Carnival area and additional content and NPC's for it will return every winter season from now on!
Here are some plans for improvements for future events like this that we've accumulated from hosting this event.

• Better balancing for distribution of Decorations, as it was a little bit overtuned this time due to consideration for the number of items available to be obtained.
• QoL and UI improvements for the Gifting event type such as:
  
  • Individual task reroll buttons
  • Adding a “GO” button next to certain tasks that will take a user to the page for it (ie. Item Alchemy, Minigames)
  • Adding some bonus daily gift giving/embellishment rewards to the event

Our next event is going to be our Third Anniversary celebration and then Kelbi's Event!
Also, hang on to your Decorations as they will be useful in upcoming festivities!

• The ingredients to make the hatching item can be found in Pai, Agnes, and Oran's shops' Bonus Prize pools.
• The item alchemy recipe is available in your recipe book and shown above.
• This Seasonal Pet will remain in the shops for 3 months and rotate out at the end of August to be replaced by a pet for the next season.
• Seasonal pets are obtainable annually on a rotation! The hatching items can be alchemized at any time of the year.
  

DAPPERVOLK'S 3RD ANNIVERSARY
June 21st is our third anniversary, time sure flies when things are afoot! We're planning some small festivities and fun new content for everyone to celebrate with, thanks so much for playing and supporting Dappervolk! We're looking forward to many years to come.

KELBI EVENT PROGRESS
While our Carnival merrily rolls on, here's a peek at our current progress on the upcoming Kelbi event: 
Art Assets: 65%
Writing: 75%
Coding: 80%
We're planning to launch this event relatively soon after the Carnival and Anniversary are over.

CUSTOM QUEUE STATUS
Due to some workload and scheduling considerations this month, we needed to move the current custom batch to be completed early June instead of in May. This current batch should be completed within the next few days, and then we're back on schedule with mid month deadlines barring any future workload conflicts! Thanks for your patience on this.

STAFF RECRUITMENT PLANS
We're preparing to begin our staff recruitment process to bring Event & Community Managers and Jr. Moderators into our team some time mid month. We're looking forward to continuing to build our staff team and strengthen our overall efficiency and sense of community!
