Ahoy, Tales of Dacardia adventurers and Neopets treasure hunters! If you’re looking to spend your hard-earned Pearly Neggs on exclusive items, then Captain QuickFinger’s Travelling Treasure Trove is your go-to destination. This special in-game store on Neopets.com offers a rotating selection of unique prizes. This guide will tell you everything you need to know – from locating the Captain to snagging the latest loot.
What is Captain QuickFinger’s Travelling Treasure Trove?
Captain QuickFinger’s Travelling Treasure Trove is a unique shop within the Tales of Dacardia game on Neopets.com. Here, players can exchange Pearly Neggs, a special in-game currency, for a variety of items, many of which were previously available through events like the Festival of Neggs.
Where to Find Captain QuickFinger’s Travelling Treasure Trove
Locating the elusive Captain is your first step to riches!
- Usual Location: You can typically find Captain QuickFinger on a sandbank situated on the left side of the Tales of Dacardia overworld, just below the Lookout Lighthouse.
- Troubleshooting Tip: Can’t spot him? Sometimes, entering Photo Mode in Tales of Dacardia can cause NPCs, including Captain QuickFinger, to temporarily relocate to the middle of your town (even inside buildings!). Try re-entering Photo Mode; this often resets his position back to the sandbank.
Shopping at the Trove: How to Buy Your Treasures
Ready to spend those Pearly Neggs? Here’s how:
- Approach the Captain: Tap on Captain QuickFinger in the overworld.
- Browse the Stock: This will open an interface displaying his current selection of prizes and their Pearly Negg costs.
- Select Your Item: Tap on the prize you wish to purchase.
- Confirm Purchase: A confirmation pop-up will appear. Hit the green “Confirm” button. If successful, the item is yours!
Important Notes About Purchases:
- One-Time Buys: Each item currently in stock can only be purchased once. After buying, it will appear faded with a green checkmark. Tapping it again will prompt a message from the Captain saying he has no more.
- Insufficient Pearly Neggs: If you don’t have enough Pearly Neggs for an item, a banner will inform you at the bottom of the screen. You can tap the orange “Get More” button on this banner to be taken to the Premium Parlour (where Pearly Neggs can often be acquired).
- Achievements: Be aware that purchases made at Captain QuickFinger’s Travelling Treasure Trove do not count towards the “Spending Pearly Neggs” achievements in Tales of Dacardia.
When is Captain QuickFinger’s Travelling Treasure Trove Stocked?
While Captain QuickFinger himself is usually visible around your town, his shop isn’t always open for business.
- Stock Indicator: When he has items available, a treasure chest icon will appear above his head.
- Countdown Timer: If the shop is stocked, you’ll see a countdown timer at the top of the interface, indicating how long the current batch of prizes will be available. (The in-game help icon mentions stock lasts for a week, but this can vary.)
- “Closed” Shop: If he has no current stock, you can still tap on him, but you’ll receive a “closed” message.
- Restock Frequency: The exact schedule for when Captain QuickFinger’s Travelling Treasure Trove restocks is determined by TNT (The Neopets Team), so it’s best to check back regularly!

The Arrival of Captain QuickFinger’s Treasure
Captain QuickFinger’s Travelling Treasure Trove was first introduced to Tales of Dacardia in version 1.6.5 on April 16, 2025. However, the shelves remained empty until the first stock appeared five days later on April 21, 2025.
The launch was accompanied by this mysterious announcement from a character named Vinny: “whispers Ahoy mateys… Gather ’round, ye Town Planners… I’ve plundered—er, SEARCHED for a fine trove o’ treasure from the far corners o’ the Neopian High Seas, and I’m willin’ to part with ’em—for the right price, o’ course. Me shop’s swingin’ open its hatches fer 3 weeks only, from today ’til the 11th o’ May… Keep a keen eye on the horizon—another shipment’ll be sailin’ in not long after. Arrgh, I must make me getaway ‘fore they catch wind o’ me. But fret not—I’ll be lurkin’ about. Keep yer peepers peeled.”
Tips for Making the Most of the Travelling Treasure Trove:
- Save Your Pearly Neggs: If you know the Trove might restock soon, consider saving your Pearly Neggs for items you truly want.
- Check Regularly: Since stock is limited and time-sensitive, make it a habit to visit Captain QuickFinger often, especially after game updates or event conclusions.
- Prioritize Your Purchases: With items being single-purchase only, decide which ones you want most before you start spending.
Good luck, Town Planners, and may your visits to Captain QuickFinger’s Travelling Treasure Trove be fruitful! Keep an eye on the horizon for new shipments of pirate booty in Tales of Dacardia.
