DTP (Dark Trading Post) is the website that allows you customize your ingame Dark Gaming appearance.
LOGGING IN

After identifying your problem, contact a staff member on the Forums or the Discord server.
INVENTORY
All Titles, Tags, Colors, and CMDs (listed as Special) are obtained through loot boxes that are gained by leveling up and by voting at https://terraria-servers.com/server/90/vote/.
Linked below is a continuously expanding list of every DTP item.
Crew 
Upgrade to crew: https://dtp.dark-gaming.com/#crew
Crew and its perks are obtained after one pays 2.00 Credits (40 days of voting)
(or 50k DP but realistically nobody is going to do that)
Crew grants you the following abilities in their respective dimensions:
- Build - Build outside of Sandbox
- PvP -
/tp(people have had Crew removed for abusing/tpin the past) - Survival - Summon bosses
- PvE -
/tp(teleport to Lego-Bot) - Zombies - Unlocks Telekinesis ability

DP
DP stands for DarkPoints and is the primary currency of the Dark Gaming economy.
DP allows you to increase the size of your inventory and purchase items from the DTP shop.
How to gain DP
DP can be obtained through killing players in PvP, killing bosses in PvE, completing rounds in Gamemodes (Zombies), and by cashing in Metals (a rare DTP item ranging from r1 to r9).
Metals are a liquid asset of DTP; they can be quickly and easily converted into DP.
They are obtained through loot boxes and remain in your inventory as “physical” items until you manually right-click or hold on the Metal and select Sell.
Metals
| Rarity | Ore type | DP output | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Copper ore | 500 |  |
| 2 | Silver ore | 2,000 |  |
| 3 | Copper bar | 4,500 |  |
| 4 | Silver bar | 8,000 |  |
| 5 | Gold ore | 12,000 |  |
| 6 | Platinum ore | 18,000 |  |
| 7 | Gold bar | 24,500 |  |
| 8 | Platinum bar | 32,000 |  |
| 9 | Coal | 45,000 |  |
(The image for coal originally was a blackened copper ore, but it has been broken for a long time.)
________________________________________________________________
XP 
XP is short for Experience Points. Increasing your XP makes you rank up and gifts you with random loot boxes. Your XP requirement to level up will be displayed on the top right of your screen.
XP is only gained by killing players in PvP, killing bosses in PvE, completing rounds in Gamemodes (Zombies), and by voting at https://terraria-servers.com/server/90/vote/.
Once you reach the XP threshold, you will rank up, and your XP requirement to level up will increase.
________________________________________________________________
Credits
The only use for Credits is creating custom items, obtaining Crew, and gambling.
Voting with your dtp / ingame username at https://terraria-servers.com/server/90/vote/ will grant you 0.05 credits.
1 full credit (20 days of voting) allows you to create a custom title or tag. It unlocks the Craft tab.
________________________________________________________________
Levels
Levels are what grant you Tier 1 & 2 loot boxes; This is separate from the loot boxes obtained by voting.
- Tier 1 boxes grant you 1 item.
- Tier 2 grants you 2 items.
- Vote loot boxes grant you 3 items.
Note that you will not receive a ranking-earned loot box until around level 20. It’s weird, but luckily it’s an easy milestone to reach.

Levels History
Big Russ, an inactive moderator, had the highest possible level; However, you won’t see his name on the leaderboards. That’s because he reached the 32-bit integer limit (2,147,483,647) for XP, causing all of his stats to wrap back around to -1.
He asked Rofle (The server owner) to reset his level to 0, and Rofle did so accordingly.
Big Russ continued to grind levels at an alarming rate (iirc he got to around lvl 350 after his level reset), causing Rofle himself to heavily nerf XP Efficiency (an xp multiplier) to the point of obsolescence.
DO NOT INTERACT WITH THIS TAB! It is insanely buggy, takes all your DP if interacted incorrectly, and drains extremely quickly because of the event shared above.

TABS
Inventory
This tabs brings you to your inventory, editing the URL can allow you to view other player’s dtp inventories.
Normal link:
Edited link:
When it comes to viewing players whose username has a space within their username, like @lamplight15. You can view their inventory by replacing the spaces with “+”
@Legolas’s DTP link is unique because of the hashtag in their username, preventing you from viewing their DTP inventory by editing the URL.
The only way to view their inventory is by clicking a link.
Explore
The Explore page displays unique player and server stats. It shows the top 5 richest, poorest (≥ lvl 49), and the players with the highest level.
DP info shares the total number of users, the amount of DP in rotation, and how much each dimension has to offer.
View in-game Inventories brings you to another Dark Gaming connected website that shows you the players and their inventories in a certain dimension. TInv
Upgrades
The Upgrades page is where you go to spend DP to increase your inventory space.
By default, you start with a 3x5 space (-1 thanks to the trash slot), which equates to 14 spaces.
Each upgrade you make extends your inventory vertically or horizontally by 1, granting you much more space.
I have personally purchased many upgrades, and my inventory is currently a 9x12 rectangle (minus one slot due to the trash slot), allowing me to store a total of 107 items.
Special Slots increase the section on your “hotbar” where your CMDs go. Each upgrade allows you to fit one more CMD permission for your use.
Shop
The shop is unique because there isn’t just one shop; There are many, and which one you have access to depends on your level. They are listed as different fictional cities.
| Level Requirement | Shop Access |
|---|---|
| lvl 0 - lvl 49 | Village of Dakota |
| lvl 50 - lvl 149 | Town of Velucia |
| lvl 150 - 199 | City of Jaeori |
| lvl 200 - ??? | Metropolis of Vahal |
The shop sells a variety of titles, tags, and colors, each ranging from Rarity 1 to Rarity 10

You can check an item’s rarity and price by hovering your cursor over it*
Be careful if you are on mobile because one simple press will register that as a purchase.
You will NOT purchase an item if you do not have sufficient funds. You cannot go into debt.
*Sometimes hovering your cursor won’t reveal an item’s price & information. Keep refreshing the page until it fixes itself.
Trading
Trading is the most social feature in DTP. It allows you to trade items, credits, or DP with another player.
When initiating a trade, remember that CAPITAL LETTERS MATTER and it will cost you 50 DP after finalizing.
Upon starting a trade, you are brought back to your inventory but without the ingame preview.
Here you can select an item from your inventory to trade. This is not limited to just items, as you can instead choose to trade Credits and/or DP.
YOUR INVENTORY:
THEIR INVENTORY:
After selecting what to trade, you are ready to hit Request Trade. It will be up to the recipient to decide whether to accept your trade request.
Don’t forget about that 50 DP initiation fee.
Craft
The Craft tab is unlocked when you reach 1.00 Credits. (20 days of voting)
Custom Items*
- Free rein in your item description and name, don’t be offensive!
- You cannot create custom colors.
- Each tag or title made using this method will be given a rarity of 11. However, this does not make custom titles/tags more valuable than an R10.
Gambling
- A minimum of 0.05 credits grants you a low-rarity item.
- A maximum of 0.75 credits grants you a guaranteed R9 item. On rare occasions, you’ll get an R10. These are extremely valuable.
- You can obtain titles, tags, colors, cmds, and even metals.
