Tales of Dacardia Mobile App Guide

Neopet Resident Overview

The core gameplay of Tales of Dacardia revolves around your island's residents, who can gather resources and craft items. You can also paint them (and their homes!) as well as give them hats to wear!

Some species can be unlocked for free through gameplay, while others can only be purchased through the Premium Parlour.

Every time you unlock a new resident, you'll be shown an interface with the species name next to two elemental symbols. You will also be shown one random fun fact about that species.

You can also find an extended description in the Encyclopedia section of the journal.

Finally, you can find some more supplementary information in the Pet Directory.


Currently, the elemental alignments and favourite foods have no purpose. I guess they're just fun to know!

Names

Although each resident Neopet has a pre-set species, you get to choose the name. There is a limit of 15 characters. Unlike on Neopets.com, their names do not need to be globally unique—you can even give your own residents all the same name!

You can rename them at any time and as often as you want. Simply click the pen icon next to their name in the Pet Directory.

The game also offers a short list of random name suggestions if you are having trouble thinking of one:

  • Arthur
  • Azlyn
  • Baked Potato
  • Benyha
  • Bobbles
  • Brie
  • Callie
  • Choerry
  • Cookie
  • Geralt

First there was a crazy storm, then a giant mechanical Crabby showed up... what next?

Have you met Ariel yet? She's pretty famous around here.

I can help, too! Just say the word and I'll get whatever you need.

I can't believe that storm destroyed my old house... where did it even come from?

I can't just keep dragon my feet while you're busy rebuilding. Please let me help!

I knew we would get our homes back eventually. I'm so glad you're here to help!

Lania Cragg... I think I've heard that name before. Isn't she a famous builder?

Lania's kind of amazing. I wonder if she'll take me under her wing?

You said you're a Town Planner, right? Did you come here to help restore Dacardia?

Dacardia is full of places to explore.

Do they have a Giant Omelette where you're from? I don't think I could live without one!

I didn't think anyone would visit us after the storm. Where are you from? Is it nice?

I have so many questions about the storm and almost no answers; it's driving me mutts!

I think I've hard the name Lania Cragg before... is it true she's a famous builder?

If you want to know about the storm, you're barking up the wrong Lupe. I'm just as lost as you... but I want to know more.

We don't see strangers around here too often, but I think it's kind of exciting seeing fresh new faces.

Why do you think the storm happened? It didn't seem natural to me...

I know we just met, but I'm glad we're friends.

I was just playing on the beach one day when suddenly BAM! CRACK! WHOOSH! There was a huge storm and I had to run and hide!

If you're ever in need of a pick-me-up, talk to Ariel. She knows a lot about energy... especially if it's related to coffee.

It's nice that so many Neopets are coming together to help out Dacardia.

Lania's kinda grumpy, huh? That's okay, I'm sure she'll lighten up soon!

That storm was quite the... cat-astrophe!

That sure was a pawful storm that hit us. But at least nobody was hurt!

The little crabby-bots running around everywhere are really cute. I like 'em.

Things sure are a mess around here! But that's okay, I'm sure it'll work out.

Dacardia sure seems like a pleasant place to live.

I came to Dacardia to try to help rebuild... But I don't know if I'm very good at it.

I hope it's okay that I came to Dacardia...

I saw Doctor Celandine taking a nap under a tree the other day. She seemed so happy and content!

I wonder if I'll be able to make new friends here...

It was really nice of you to volunteer to be Town Planner!

Miss Cragg seems a little bit intense... But she sure is good at what she does, isn't she?

Oh, um... sorry, I'm a little shy.",

When I first heard about the storm, it Kacheeked me out a bit... But I'm glad I'm here now.

Greetings

Ariel's always falling asleep on her feet. Wish I could do that. Then naptime could be anytime.

At first I just figured I'd have a quick vacation here, but I like Dacardia so much I've decided to stay.

Hey there, pal. You seem a little tense - why don't you relax with me for a bit?

Lania works too hard. Anytime I ask if she wants to take a break, she says, "Bah!"

That storm really must have been something if it destroyed everything...

You hear that? It's sounds like a Techo... Echo... cho... cho..."

You must be working hard restoring Dacardia. Don't forget to take breaks sometimes, 'kay?

You really can hear the ocean from just about anywhere in Dacardia, huh? Makes a Techo wanna nap...

  • Many Aishas love stargazing – there's nothing more fun to most Aishas than taking a nighttime walk!

  • The extra set of antenna-like ears on top of Aishas' heads makes their sense of hearing more acute.
Greetings

Dacardia often reminds me of Mystery Island! I wonder if we could have another Geraptiku discovery.

History would suggest that the storm was caused by a Neopian villain. But I wonder who it could be this time?

I wonder if Ariel studied history while she was in Altador? I'll have to ask her.

I wonder what kind of impact you will leave on history. I hope it's for the better.

I'm glad we got Lania's help in building my bookcases. Of all Neopets I know, she's one of the most reliable.

Since you're the Town Planner, I hope you keep Dacardia's history safe as you build.

Studying history has taught me anything is pawsible!

This seems like a beautiful place to do some historical research. Why it's even got enough space for my textbooks.

  • Cybunnies love cold regions. Their thick fur keeps them toasty warm in the snow!
  • No Neopet loves vegetables like Cybunnies! They're great at growing and foraging for them.
  • Not only does the thick white fur of a Cybunny keep them warm, but it also helps them blend into the snow.
Greetings

Ariel taught me a lot about plants and which ones are safe to eat. I can thank her for my foraging skills!

Cybunnies have some of the softest fur of any Neopet. Don't let any Xweetoks convince you otherwise!

Dacardia's always had nice weather, but sometimes I wish it would snow more!

I like all kinds of music, but I'm best at dancing to hip-hop.

If you ever lose somethin' in the snow, come find me. I'll be able to help you get it back in no time!

It wasn't so bad living in the wilderness, you know. I actually really like foraging for vegetables.

I've got a nice warm coat of fur to keep me warm if another storm hits, but other Neopets aren't as lucky.

Lania's been working hard. It's nice to know we have her support.

There's got to be somebunny around here who knows something about the storm...

When I find out who caused this storm, I'm gonna give 'em what-for!

When the storm hit, I fled to the Dacardian wilderness. It wasn't always easy, but I think I did pretty well for myself!

Cost: $19.99 in "Lucky Hissi Pack"; $29.99 in "Good Fortune Pack".

Because they have such keen senses, including sharp eyes and a strong sense of smell, Hissis are masters of hide-and-seek. This one is no exception: they use their skills to remain hidden, because they tend to be a little shy around other Neopets.

  • Hissis always have stories to tell – but sometimes they like to exaggerate...
  • Hissis' arms and hands are covered in feathers, which allow them to fly!
  • When Hissis get older, they shed their scales. Elderly Hissis have even been known to use their shedded scales as accessories!
  • With a strong sense of smell and frighteningly good eyesight, Hissis are masters of hide-and-seek.
Greetings

Ah! ...Pleasssse don't snake up on me. I get frightened easily.

Did you need me for something?

Do you have any questions about Bamboo-growing, or tending to Rock Gardens?

*Hiss!* ...Ssssorry. Since I used to live alone, I'm not used to being approached like this.

I know there was a storm here, but it looks like you've done a fairly good job restoring things.

I was shocked when I found out how devastating the storm was. My bamboo grove kept me very well-protected.

I wonder if Lania has any tips on building with Bamboo?

I'm trying to make a miniature model of my old bamboo grove, but I haven't quite figured out the scale yet...

It'sss... quite noisy here. It makes me missssss the tranquility of my bamboo grove.

Once, Doctor Almas stumbled into my bamboo grove. He was investigating legends of treasure in the Mystic Jungle.
