DTP (Dark Trading Post) is the website that allows you customize your ingame Dark Gaming appearance. An update to DTP released on 10-27-2026. > **[Trading System](https://dtp.dark-gaming.com)** # DTP Update > [@Trading System - Usability Update Release](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/t/trading-system-usability-update-release/40583): > > The Trading System has now been updated. The system has been snapshot before the update, so if anything goes wrong I can revert as needed. What’s New Here is a look at some of the brand new features added in this update. Most of this update has been mostly a refresh on current features, but a few were added to fill in some gaps. Profile Badges Users now have new badges on their profile, the crew badge has been properly updated and another badge for how old your ac… DTP is currently being updated. This post is likely to change and may be out of date. **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** # LOGGING IN In order to initially log into your DTP inventory, you must enter your in-game username and password. It will then auto-login for you as long as you logged in once before. If you encounter account issues such as forgetting your password or username restrictions, please read through the [Account Management Guide](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/t/account-management-guide/12015) . After identifying your problem, contact a staff member on the Forums or the [Discord](http://discord.gg/ZuNQUdZ) server. ![Login Screen](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/uploads/default/original/3X/a/d/ad4280dab671e0732296b9fea895110316939aa5.jpeg) # INVENTORY All Titles, Tags, Colors, Dyes, CMDs, and Boosters (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/](https://terraria-servers.com/server/90/vote/). Make sure you claim your rewards when voting, as it grants you a loot box and XP! ![don't be like me and forget](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/uploads/default/original/3X/8/7/875cfb45a10cc3d7845b2d477c8f2600ad2f6f2b.png) **Linked below is a continuously expanding list of every DTP item.** > [@DTP Item Index](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/t/dtp-item-index/35212): > > A continuously expanding document detailing every single DTP item (Titles, Tags, Cmds, Vanities, Metals, etc.), all sorted alphabetically and by rarity.

Crew and its perks are obtained after one pays 2.00 Credits **(40 days of voting)** or 50k DP or by owning Terraria on Steam (not the mobile, GOG, and pirate versions.) Crew grants you the following abilities in their respective dimensions: - **Build** - Build outside of Sandbox - **PvP** - `/tp` _(people have had Crew removed for abusing `/tp` in the past)_ - **Survival** - Summon bosses - **PvE** - `/tp` (teleport to Lego-Bot) - **Zombies** - Unlocks Telekinesis ability **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** ## DP ![DP](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/uploads/default/original/3X/2/6/266102fbaaca93e204c5ffa2ef50c44f076501b3.png) 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 is gained through quests on DTP now. Quests include both daily and weekly types, and are available for Zombies, PvE, Survival, PvP, and the gamemode in beta, Extraction. ![image](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/uploads/default/original/3X/4/7/4783b127013290f1b93f36b9ce32463828c896e6.png) ![image](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/uploads/default/original/3X/1/6/1625c4687da44c3ecfcdb865637b2f736f45bddb.png) Metals are a liquid asset of DTP; they can be quickly and easily converted into large amounts of DP. They are similar to regular items, which can also be sold for some DP. The DP amount of metals fluctuate. As of this update, high tier tags, titles, and colors are also a good way to obtain DP when sold at the correct time. ## ![Item_21](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/uploads/default/original/3X/5/3/53082a8b89d01b88f99c384dafaed6d828064654.png) Metals Metals 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 have fluctuating prices, so aim for a good time to sell. ![image](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/uploads/default/original/3X/c/1/c146a898df1bb342628d180f1910e673c279bcc1.png) **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** ## XP ![Fofle](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/uploads/default/original/3X/2/e/2e3d5562d940ed67fd8263ec0ea8aecaf66322ec.png) XP is short for E **xp** erience 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/](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. The most efficient way to gain levels is by voting, followed by PvE. **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** ## Credits ![Credits](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/uploads/default/original/3X/1/3/136b83a010e4a9bb75603ff2697088df657122c3.png) The only use for Credits is creating custom items, obtaining Crew, and gambling. Voting with your DTP / in-game username at [https://terraria-servers.com/server/90/vote/](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. **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** ## **Levels** ![Level](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/uploads/default/original/3X/e/5/e5ce2f4d93d3e7f1b70f852ab312c5e3a7c0db61.png) Levels are what grant you loot boxes; This is separate from the loot boxes obtained by voting. - **Tier 1** boxes grant you 1 item. ![Screenshot 2024-06-29 205001](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/uploads/default/original/3X/c/3/c39e0d685d23269a1668635ebdb832b7c246552e.png) - **Tier 2** grants you 2 items. It is a honey chest. ![Screenshot 2024-06-29 205005](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/uploads/default/original/3X/0/8/08465a854388754dd9efa52fcdde3e515128109a.png) - **Tier 3** also grants you 2 items of higher tier. It is a obsidian chest. ![Obsidian_Chest](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/uploads/default/original/3X/f/7/f71169b96399b8c26b32963f47bb641b7e5063f5.png) - **Tier 4** is a granite chest. It grants 2 items of even higher tier. ![image](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/uploads/default/original/3X/4/7/47f5cd0aaf2cf5fd651a807bbe64b2310ea022e4.png) - **Vote loot boxes** grant you 3 items of low tier. ![higherResNewTabs](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/uploads/default/original/3X/e/2/e2b1cc4f4518cccd251b5b5b0f80c4e779042fe2.png) Tip: You should avoid upgrading the chests any higher than T2, as you get scammed of a ton of money and the items it gives you are only slightly better. You should only upgrade T1 chests to T2 as it doubles your 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._ **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** # The following sections are **NOT** fully updated Due to the DTP not being fully updated yet(The shop is currently under some development) **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** ## **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. **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** # **TABS** ![image](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/uploads/default/original/3X/3/9/39c6b000e5248f62a2e9a68f947cab3a65c089f7.png) > **Inventory** > > This tabs brings you to your inventory. > Normal link: [https://dtp.dark-gaming.com/#inventory](https://dtp.dark-gaming.com/#inventory) > > ![CamelotInventory](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/uploads/default/original/3X/3/f/3f692efc9e435a256d2d1179768509f9aa488d1a.png) > > Edited link: > [https://dtp.dark-gaming.com/inventory/Neverbeen](https://dtp.dark-gaming.com/inventory/Neverbeen) > > ![Neverbeen JEEZ THATS ALOT OF CREDITS](https://forum.dark-gaming.com/uploads/default/original/3X/8/2/8215082620edc3c15e4baae24330a5cd81cfc99b.png) > > * * * > > @Legolas’s [DTP link](https://dtp.dark-gaming.com/#inventory/Legolas#1) is unique because of the hashtag in their username, preventing you from viewing their DTP inventory by editing the URL.
