Requires unlock[edit]

I'm trying to buy this, but it's not in the vendor's list at all.

Could be that you need to complete the daily heart? -Chieftain AlexUser Chieftain Alex sig.png 06:43, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
So we're trying to guess with what the criteria are.
  • An achievement - ? (meta achievement for Shipwreck Strand, something crab related? - e.g. King Crab of Castora)
  • Has never done heart on that account / Has done heart on that account - ?
  • Has never done heart on that character / Has done heart on that character - no difference, available on my account on a character that has never done it
  • Has not done heart today / Has done the heart today - no difference, available on my account on a character that has never done it
  • Has done the story - ?
  • A mastery - ?

I confirmed that Mini Dancing Crab, "/CrabDance" Emote Tome, and Endless Tropical Crab Tonic were not in the vendor list before I completed the heart for the first time, and were in the list after. I have only completed the first objective of In a Pinch. — Sol Solus (talk) 20:53, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
Just to be sure, you don't have it unlocked already? Some items are removed from vendors after being unlocked. --Hazasoul (talk) 22:40, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
I bought the mini, still shows in the vendor UI. -Chieftain AlexUser Chieftain Alex sig.png 20:37, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
I see the mini even without the heart completed. Could be related to one of the crab-related achis in Castora? ~Sime 00:39, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

after completing the "In a Pinch" achievement i was unable to buy the dancing crab. i completed the heart, and then it was available. guessing you need both of these?72.8.64.237 18:37, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't come back. I got busy with other stuff in-game. I don't have In a Pinch on this account. Heart progress shows 0 completions. Story on this character says "2. Solid Ground", "Help Pete tend to the Juvenile Wavehawks" (so, not very far in). I'll check my other character after the meta SarielV 20 x 20px 04:47, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
Other character, no story progress at all. I thought I had finished the first couple of chapters on this account but evidently not. SarielV 20 x 20px 05:13, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
Completed the heart for the first time. "In a Pinch" is at 3/5. The mini is now buyable. That would appear to be the only necessary step. SarielV 20 x 20px 06:45, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
