Pets

Pets are creatures brought to life by animation magic. Only world-hoppers such as the player and NPCs like Pascal have this ability. Pets are used in a variety of ways across Dappervolk and are kept in the player's Menagerie.

Obtaining Pets

Pets can be obtained in a multitude of ways.

Hatching Pets

Certain items, called hatching items, can be incubated to produce a pet after a pre-set amount of time. These items, sometimes called "hatchables", are mainly obtained through quests and NPC Chance Machines. Some can be acquired through multiple or different means such as Item Alchemy, Support Bundles, and NPC Affection. The most common ones can also be found through scoring in Playground games and while Adventuring.

Alchemizing Pets

Five pets at a time can be alchemized to create a new pet. The outcome depends on the individual species and habitats of the original pets. Combinations without a recipe will yield a random result from a special pool of pets.

Trading Pets

Pets can be traded or sold to other players in the Trades Market. When a pet's owner changes, everything except their name, ID, base stats and any comments that are already on their profile will be reset. This includes evolutions and Pet Accessories.

Custom Pet Maker

The hatching item for a custom pet.

A Custom Pet Creator is a Legendary item used to commission a custom pet from the site's artists. There is a slim chance that one can obtained from town-specific Chance Machines every eight days.

Custom pets are of the Mythical rarity. These pets all share a hatching item (and item art) instead of each pet's hatching item being unique. A custom owner can use a Custom Pet Mirror in order to grant another player a hatch of their custom pet, at which point the hatching item will be manifested into the incubator to await hatching.

Evolving Pets

Players can evolve their pets by maxing out their affection. Evolved pets have different color schemes and a sparkle animation on their profile. Evolutions are purely cosmetic, and can be toggled on and off at any time by clicking on the sparkle icon next to the pet's name.

When trading an evolved pet, they will lose their evolution status, as evolution ability is linked to affection for their current owner.

Pet Stats

A pet's rarity determines the stats with which it will be born: Legendary and Mythical pets have a chance to be born with 1-3 points of Luck. A pet's stats can be increased temporarily by equipping them with totems and permanently by feeding them pet food. Pet stats will increase the player's stats while the pet is active, but will not count towards the permanent stat count (similar to clothing stat bonuses).

Pet Nature

Pets have different natures that align with one of the four main stats of Dappervolk. This nature can be changed using a Pet Nature Refresher Potion and influences what types of gifts they like during their daily gifting interaction.

Pet Rarity

Rarities are a ranking system that describes the difficulty in obtaining a pet. There are four rarities: Quaint, Fantastical, Legendary and Mythical (custom). Quaint pets are the easiest to obtain, while Mythical pets are the most difficult due to the scarcity of Custom Pet Creators.

• Quaint: The most common pet type. These pets hatch from items that are mainly obtained through NPC-specific Chance Machines, but can often be additionally obtained through methods such as Item Alchemy. Unlike their rarer counterparts, they do not hatch with stats.

• Fantastical: Semi-rare. These pets are mainly obtained through Pet Alchemy consisting of Quaint pets, though a select few have hatching items. These pets hatch with a moderate amount of point in the common stats, excluding Luck.

• Legendary: The rarest type of non-custom pets. They can only be obtained via special Pet Alchemy recipes consisting of Fantastical pets. Legendary pets hatch with 1-3 points in Luck and a higher amount of common stats than Fantastical pets.

• Mythical (Custom): These pets are created by using a legendary Custom Pet Creator. There is a way for players to create copies of their custom pets and distribute them using a Custom Pet Mirror. Mythical pets are created with the stats of a Fantastical pet, with the chance of being born with points in Luck like a Legendary pet.

Common Quaint Pets

The majority of Quaint pets can be obtained through normal gameplay while visiting towns. These are tied to a specific NPC and often contain some visual reference to their design or character. The hatching items are typically available through NPC chance machines directly or from chance machine bonus prize pool claims.

Rare Quaint Pets

These Quaint pets are obtained through ways other than NPC chance machines.

Fantastical Pets

Fantastical and Legendary pets can be alchemized at the alchemy engine in the menagerie. Pets combined via alchemy are destroyed, and the pet created will be assigned a new ID. These pets will also have randomly assigned starting stats. Combinations without a recipe will result in one of the random alchemy pets. Fantastical pets are always made of Quaint pets.

Certain pets can only be obtained by following a pet recipe while alchemizing. The recipe item itself is not necessary to own before alchemizing, but make sure that every detail is correct when alchemizing without one. Habitats are just as important as the pets themselves.

Legendary Pets

Legendary pets are always alchemized from a combination of Fantastical pets.

Seasonal Pets

Seasonal pets are obtainable for certain periods of time before temporarily retiring. Though the hatching items or components for these pets are available seasonally, they can be hatched at any time during the year.

Limited Pets

The hatching items for these pets are only available for a limited amount of time before the item is no longer in stock. A pet can still be hatched from the hatching item, and the hatching item can be traded amongst players, but the item itself will no longer be purchasable.

Unobtainable Pets

There existed three Easter egg pets that could only be obtained during the Alpha and Beta phases of Dappervolk. They were not set to carry over, making them completely unobtainable after the final Beta wipe.

Two of them were discovered at the end of Beta thanks to tenacious users submitting theories and Pet Alchemy results in a thread called Snail Pet Hunt. The last one was made to congratulate the userbase on finding them, with a simple recipe that everyone could follow.
