This page contains common questions by new Dappervolk players. If you find yourself answering the same short question over and over, feel free to add it here and just give people the link. (Long and detailed answers should go in the actual wiki page for that topic.)
Account & Registration
How do I change my Username?
Usernames can be changed under Account Settings (Account > Account Settings). Players get three free name changes, after which the Name Changing Scroll item must be used to change usernames.
How do I retrieve my Log-in Name? Is that different than my Username?
Log-in Names are names that not displayed and only used for logging into your account. For security reasons, your log-in name should not be the same as your username. To retrieve your log-in name, send a ticket to the Ticket Desk.
Can I have more than one account?
No. Creating more than one account is against Dappervolk's Terms of Service.
Does Dappervolk have a dark mode?
Dappervolk does not have an official dark mode, but some players have created unofficial userstyles that can be implemented via a browser extension. You can find the thread here.
Character Creation & Classes
What is the difference between each character class?
The four Classes are Human, Elven, Animal and Galactic. Each class has exclusive items that can only be equipped to that class: Humans have Auros & Armor, Elves have Jewelry and Runes, Animals have Ears and Tails, and Galactics have Antennae and Crests. If you purchase items from a different class, you will not be able to wear them.
Classes also have stat affinities and disadvantages. Disadvantages make it difficult to gain a certain stat, but all classes will be able to gain all stats. For more information, check out the Stats page.
| Player Class | Stat Affinity | Stat Weakness |
|---|---|---|
| Animal | Honour 
|
Comprehension 
|
| Elves | Charm 
|
Tenacity 
|
| Galactic | Comprehension
|
Honour
|
| Human | Tenacity
|
Charm
|
Will I be able to change my class?
No, once you have created an avatar/character, you are not able to change your class.
Are all animal ears locked to the Animal Class? Is all the jewelry locked to Elves?
No. The only items locked to specific classes are those obtained during character creation or from the respective class' Class Peddler in Peddler's Port. Any items obtained from NPC Chance Machines, Item Alchemy, Adventuring, etc. are wearable by every class.
Will I be able to obtain the items I didn't choose during character creation?
Yes. Any Class Starter items or Newbie Items not chosen during character creation will be available in shops in Peddler's Port.
Kickstarter & Beta Questions
What was the Kickstarter? Are Kickstarter items still available?
The Dappervolk Kickstarter (commonly abbreviated as "KS" in trade threads) took place in September 2017. During this period, exclusive items were available as backer rewards. Any items from this period are retired, meaning they will not be obtainable through means other than trading.
What was the Beta?
The Beta Testing testing phase occurred from March 2018 to October 2018. During this period users were able to test site features, participate in test events, and obtain certain Limited Items and Beta Bundle Items. After the Beta, accounts where wiped, and users had to start from scratch upon release (with the exception of limited items, usernames, account IDs and trophies). Every user who participated in Beta received a Prismatic Bell.
Pets
How do I get a pet?
Pets are obtained by using special hatching items which become pets when incubated. Following the main story line will also provide you with a pet.
How long does it take to hatch a pet? Can it be sped up?
The time spent hatching a pet depends on the pet, but on average Quaint pets take 8-12 hours to hatch. There is currently no way to speed up pet hatch times.
What are Pet IDs? How do I view them?
Pet IDs are numbers tied to your pet in order to track their data. Pet IDs are able to be viewed on the URL of their page.
Are Pet names unique? Can I change my pet's name?
Pet names are not unique, meaning that two pets can have an identical name. If you fail to name your pet during incubation it will be displayed as "Unnamed." Pet names can be changed on their profiles under "Edit Pet" and there is no limit to how many times a pet can be renamed.
Why did the meter go down when I fed my pet? Will anything bad happen if I don't feed my pet?
Pets have an Appetite Bar which represents the hunger level of your pet. When this bar is depleted they are no
longer hungry and will not accept any more food. Pet Food can raise your pet's stats and mood, although pets will not starve or suffer any consequences if they are not fed.
Why is my pet's mood staying at Happy instead of increasing to Joyful, even if I feed it up to 10/10?
Pets under 300 affection have a maximum mood of Happy. The Joyful mood is unlocked after you reach 300 affection with your pet.
How do I show an NPC my pet? How do I set a pet as my active pet?
Some NPCs will ask you to show them a particular type of pet. To do this, the pet must be equipped as your active pet. Tp set a pet as your active pet, go to their profile and select "Set Active Pet" (Account > Menagerie > View Profile > Set Active Pet)
How can I view Mythical (custom) pet evolutions?
This user guide on the Dappervolk Forums has images for all Mythical pet base colors and evolutions.
Adventuring Questions
I can't figure out the riddles. Are the answers random?
Nope, there is logic behind the answers. Take a look at the Riddles guide for an explanation and the Adventure Riddles List for the answers to every riddle.
I waited a long time and didn't get any riddles.
Riddles should show up every few minutes. Make sure the adventuring screen is either:
- The active tab in your browser.
- In its own window (NOT a background tab).
If it's a background tab, you may hear the music but you won't get any riddles.
Shop Questions
Why can't I unlock Fantasia/Lilia's shop?
You can only unlock one of those from playing through main quests. To unlock the other NPC's shop, you will have to reach 300 affection with them. If you need items from the locked shop for a quest before then, you'll have to buy them in the Trades Market or alchemize them. Fantasia's Fantastical Bells and Fantasia's Dagger Gloves, as well as Lilia's Training Lances, can all be obtained through alchemizing certain combinations of conecakes.
(If you haven't unlocked either of them and you want to make sure you get the one you like: It's the decision point at the end of the Lilia & Fantasia quest. Take a tour with Fantasia to unlock their shop or train with Lilia to unlock hers.)
Can I unlock both Magdalene and Irin's shops?
Yes, if you follow this guide by Snivy (#24). This guide can also be found on the Three's Forest Main Quest page.
Can I unlock more than one witch's shop?
Not initially, aka not while following the main storyline (you will have to choose one witch). After completing the Three's Forest questline, you will be able to unlock the other two through reaching 500 affection with them.
How do I unlock Idra's shop?
Idra's chance machine stays closed until your friendship has deepened at 300 affection.
What order are Trades Market offers listed in?
When you have multiple offers on a trade lot in the Trades Market, the oldest/first offer is located at the top of the list. This means the order is Oldest to Newest when read from top to bottom.
NPC Quest Questions
What does Lilia want when she asks for "interesting clothing?"
To view a list of what Lilia accepts as interesting clothing, view the Louise Hill Dailies page.
None of the totems I equip are recognized by Visindy for their "The Pristine Pool" quest!
Visindy requires that your pet be equipped with the Comprehension Totem item. A totem that simply gives Comprehension as a stat will not work.
What totem corresponds to my class for Nigel's quest?
Nigel is asking for one of the four "base" totems (Tenacity Totem, Honour Totem, Charm Totem, Comprehension Totem). Other totems will not work.
| Animal |  |
|---|---|
| Elven |  |
| Galactic |  |
| Human |  |

Wardrobe Questions
How do I put on a new piece of clothing? It's not showing up in my wardrobe.
You have to move clothes from your inventory into your Wardrobe. First, go to your inventory and select the item(s). On the right of the screen, click the dropdown menu that says "Select action" and choose "Add to Wardrobe." Once you've done that, the item will appear in your Wardrobe.

How can I wear 2 of the same type of item? (For example, I saw someone with two shirts.)
You'll need to use a Wardrobe Drawer Expansion item for that.
How do I change the order of my clothes?
You can change the order your clothing is displayed by selecting "Sort Clothing Order" in your wardrobe and clicking and dragging any items you want to adjust.
How do I remove clothing from my wardrobe?
