Birthday Cards will be sent to a player on their birthday from NPCs with which they have greater than or equal to 300 affection. With the exception of Peddler's Port and The Red Tower NPCs, the gift will include the NPC's special food item, a birthday cake, 1,000 and 50 .
Players must log in on their Dappervolk birthday in order to receive birthday cards (they are not sent automatically). This is a recommended practice (if possible!), as birthday cards are one of the only reliable sources of free turnip income.
Well good day to you, birthday child! I heard it was your birthday from some other townspeople and thought I should send you a little something for being a good friend to me all this time. Hope you have a good day filled with turnips and possibly other grub.
Hello there world hopper, I was just walking by the post when I realized, it's your birthday. I've fished out some things from my experiment room so please take them, I know you wanted a closer look at some of these. Knock yourself out!
Hey, it's your birthday! I heard about it from some talk in the tavern, thought I'd surprise you with some gifts! Have a good one-year-older day, friend!
Happy day of birth! How are you, friend? I hope you're able to have a nice, relaxing day with those you care about. I for one believe in kicking back to enjoy life rather than filling up my days with endless activity. I have these presents for you, hope you like them!
Greetings, my good friend! Today's a happy day for you isn't it? Since you're a year older now, think of all the sights you'll see and all the challenges you'll overcome! Here, take these gifts, I hope they'll help you in all of your trials and adventures. Happy birthday!
Hello, my young magical friend! How are you fairing these days? I heard you're a year older today and who would I be if I didn't prepare some gifts for my friends? Please do enjoy yourself, I wish you many festivities all around.
Oh! It's you!! The birthday being! I've been reading some new fairy tales lately, and special things always seem to happen on their birthdays, I hope it's the same for you! Right, maybe these gifts can make your day a little more special?
Hmph, it looks like you've aged a year today. Shall I give you a gift to celebrate? Don't worry, it's not poisoned, I wouldn't do that to such an obedient minion. Well, do you like it?
Hello there! I heard a little something from the sprites, was it your birthday today? It must be nice to be able to remember when you came into this world, I hope you have a great birthday. Please take these gifts, it's the least I could do for a good friend.
Oh... You there, my lovely friend... I had a vision the other day about you. Are you having a good time celebrating your birth? Some say this is a day of good luck, but I see it as a time of meditation. You may even find out something about yourself...
Hello,
Trout here! Your friend with that turnip field who you've helped so often. I heard it was your birthday, which is pretty special. I've only experienced a few myself, so I hope I'm doing this gift thing right. Here, take these!
World-hopper,
Hello and greetings! I heard from someone that it's your birthday? Lucky for you, I have enclosed a gift! When I was at school, my birthday always happened during holiday time so I never got any congratulations from schoolmates, I hope your birthday is better than mine were.
You have had the luck to survive another year, congratulations. I must admit that I am glad to see that you have managed it. Your flesh is so fragile, and yet... your mind and your heart are perhaps, at times, stronger than even my own.
Do not lose your strength, world-hopper. Let it carry you through your next year, and the one after that, on and on for as long as can be sustained.
Hey there world-hopper,
Heard through the grapevine that it was your birthday, so I'd thought I'd send over a little something. Hope it finds some good use. If you're ever in the neighborhood, swing by the shop and I'll put on some tea for you.
Is it your birthday, world-hopper? Wow! I bet you've grown a little. Make sure to measure yourself to see if you got taller!
I was really worried that I'd forget your birthday. I wrote it down on my wall so I'd remember to send you a present. I hope you like this! I think it's something useful for someone a little older to have.
Hey friend,
Sorry for the rushed letter, I remembered at the last minute that it was your birthday! It's easy to forget the passage of time with all the things to explore in this world. (Actually, it was Thomas who reminded me, so thank him later!)
Anyway, I hope you have an amazing birthday full of adventures and good food. This month has been a little tough financially, but I pulled a couple strings to send you some gifts. Hope you like them! Thomas helped me pick them out, so you know they're good.
Wishing you good luck and safe travels,
Thomas & Pascal
You're another year older, congratulations! Though you're nowhere near catching up to me. I've got a bit of a head start on you. At least a few centuries, unless you'd already lived for longer before you lost your memories. It's possible! I ought to look into it.
I hope you try to have as many birthdays as you can. That way I'll have more time with you around.
I’m writing this letter to send you my greetings on your day of birth. Your guardian deity is surely looking down from the heavens to offer you their protective care. I trust that you will spend most of the day in solemn meditation of their divine providence and the wonders of the cosmos.
Once you have finished that, please unwrap the gifts I have enclosed. Although no gift can equal the blessings of the stars, perhaps you can find some use for them. They were just sitting around my tower, doing no good to anyone, so now they are yours.
Happiest of birthdays, my good friend! How wonderful for us that we can celebrate you and all that you do! I’m so delighted that I have half a mind to name a city-wide holiday after you. (Of course, I must refrain from such flagrant acts of favoritism, but I hope you appreciate the sentiment.)
As you grow older and wiser, remember to always be a role model to those younger than you - and for that matter, to those older than you as well! Personally, I admire you greatly, and look forward to the next fantastic year of our acquaintance.
Congratulations on your birthday. They seem to come and go so quickly, don’t they. I imagine you’re quite occupied with traveling around the world and learning more about your magic, but I hope you’ve had an opportunity to rest and celebrate. Fashionable society of Aviar Cove would throw a celebratory ball, but I’m not sure if that would be to your tastes.
Whatever your ideal celebration is, I hope you take the time to indulge yourself. Perhaps by sitting down with a favorite book and a cup of tea. Lastly, I have enclosed a small gift for the occasion. I’ve chosen to err on the side of practicality, so as not to burden you on your travels.
Hiya, I heard it was your birthday! That’s so exciting, congratulations! I tried to send as many presents as years old you are, but then I realized I don’t actually know how old you are, and I don’t have that much stuff.
Anyway, come by the shop sometime! You can pick your favorite ship and I’ll engrave your name in the hull. Or whatever name you want, if it’s weird to use your name. Personally, I think the S.S. World-hopper has a good ring to it!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I’m only just now realizing that I have no idea how old you are. Probably somewhere between 5 and 500, but that’s really just a guess. Anyway, no matter what age you actually are, you have a youthful spirit, just like me and Pellier.
I hope all your plans for the next year work out. If you want to make a wish, whisper your dream into a brand new lightbulb, connect it to a power source and let it shine all night. Of course, that’s a tradition that I made up just now, but it’s a nice one, isn’t it?
Dear World-hopper,
I hear it’s your birthday! Congratulations on another year, and I hope you had an enjoyable day. Birthdays have always been a time of reflection for me. Taking stock of all I’ve accomplished throughout the year, and making plans for the next one.
I’d recommend it, if you’re in a mood for self-reflection. Life can be so hectic that it’s easy to get caught up in the day to day, but if you take a moment to think about the long term everything falls into perspective. What do you want for your future? What paths will you have to take to get there? Those are difficult questions, and I hope that this year you’ll be able to find the answers.
It’s your birthday! I didn’t know you had one. Thank Vaer Pyri reminded me, or I would’ve missed it entirely.That would’ve been a real shame. And not just because it’d be rude of me! If I only cared about the social obligation, I’d have my personal assistant send you a card, but I really wanted to write you birthday wishes myself.
Your birthday should be a day where you give yourself permission to indulge in whatever makes you happy. If there’s anything I’ve learned from my many years of birthdays, it’s that if you want to have a good time, you have to be nice to yourself! Don’t be shy about going after what you want. Order your own favorite foods! Throw a birthday party where everything is exactly as you like it! Pamper yourself, world-hopper, ‘cause no one’s going to do it for you. That’s my philosophy, anyway.
I hope everything goes exactly the way you want it today.
Sorry this letter is so rushed, I heard at the last minute that it was your birthday. Happy birthday! I hope you spend this day doing what you like best. To be honest, I’ve somewhat lost track of what is popular on the surface nowadays, so I hope the items enclosed will at least be useful to you.
If you have the chance to come down to the terrarium, perhaps we can have a Vaer Reef-style celebration. I’ve heard that the person celebrating a birthday wears a kelp sash and everyone goes around saying something they appreciate about them. I’ve always thought that sounded so nice.
What would I say about you? I suppose you’ll have to come over to find out!
It’s your birthday! Happy birthday! How old are you? Older than me, right? You better be. If I could’ve been the boss of you this whole time and I wasn’t just ‘cause I thought I was younger, I’m gonna be real mad.
I hope you got lots of desserts and presents today, but if you didn’t, that’s okay, too. I didn’t get anything on my birthday last year because I was puking the whole time. Course, that’s ‘cause I found my birthday kelpcake in the pantry the night before and ate the whole thing, but still. Even though it was a bad birthday, it was still a good year.
We don’t usually have much to celebrate with on my side of Vaer Reefs, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything to celebrate. You’ve survived another year. You’ve taken everything the world has thrown at you in the past year and managed to stay alive. That’s an accomplishment, in my eyes.
You’ve fought well, world-hopper. I hope you keep fighting and keep living in the years to come.
I heard someone’s celebrating a birthday! Has anyone given you your birthday punches yet? Because me and the crew are more than happy to provide!! If I find a perfectly world-hopper-sized whirlpool, maybe I can even treat you to a birthday swirlie, gyahaha!
And once you’re done cashing in on birthday gifts from everyone, you better stop by and share the wealth with us! That’s what friends are for, right?
Traditionally, among the justices of Vaer, a birthday is an opportunity for meditation and self-reflection. What decisions have you made over the past year, and what has your effect been on those around you? Have you lived up to your goals, or fallen short? What plans do you have for the year to come?
As you are not a Vaer's Justice member, you are free to spend the day in frivolous revelry if you so wish. I hear sweets and social gatherings are quite popular.
Warm greetings dear,
I had the pleasure of being informed that it was your birthday, would you look at that? A whole year has passed by! Time sure flies when you've had it pile up, one year at my age goes by before I know it. How about you? Do you feel the years shortening, or are you still watching them slowly drift by as you live your life to the fullest? I hope either way that you're enjoying your time with the world.
and 50
