Skins!
Accessibility TLDR:
Dank Memer has introduced the new skins feature, allowing users to collect and select art for their pets, items, and farm. Skins can be collected by running commands or receiving them as level-up or vote rewards. Skin fragments can also be earned, which can be used to purchase skins from the Dank Memer shop.
Dank Memer has evolved many times over the years as we’ve grown and changed into the bot we are today. The all-new skins feature is not only a fun new feature for users, but it’s also a way to pay homage to the past as we bring back old art and memories of where we’ve come from.
With skins, users can look back to see how much things have changed, can use some of the old art they miss, and can try tons of new art as it’s released. Skins cannot be traded or shared, so the only way to get them is to earn them yourself, and everyone has an equal opportunity to find them.
What are Skins
Skins are collectible art for your farm, items, fish tanks, guidebooks, pets and more available throughout the bot. Some of the art is OG art from the earliest days of the bot, and others are all-new art that was specially created just for this feature. If you unlock a skin, you can select it as the art you want to see, so whenever you look at your farm, item, or pet, the skin you chose for it will be shown.
To see what skins are available for different items, you can click on each item here or browser the list in /skins view.

Collecting Skins
One way skins can be collected is by running commands, such as /hunt and /dig. You can use /help table to see the possible rewards for each command, so you know if skins are available. Skins are also found as level-up rewards and vote rewards, so use /advancements vote and /advancements levels to see what levels you need to reach. Some exclusive skins are available in the Gem Shop that can be purchased with gems. If you want to purchase these, you can do /shop view and click the gem icon in the middle of the arrow buttons to go to the gem store. Most skins available in the gem shop are also available in the Exclusive Gems Box.
More places to find skins are constantly being added, so keep an eye on the changelog for further news.
If you want to view all the skins you’ve collected, you can do /skins view. This will show any skins you’ve unlocked and will tell you how many you have left to find.
Using Skins
Once you’ve unlocked a skin, you can use /skins select to select it. When typing the command, pick the type of skin you are trying to apply to open the menu. For pet skins, you must own that type of pet to use the skin, but for items, you don’t have to own the item to use the skin. So, for example, if you want to pick a new Jacky o' Lanty skin to use, you would do /skins select item and enter Jacky as the choice.
Once you do the command, you’ll see the item and the list of available skins for it. If it has a blue button, it is a skin you own and can equip. If the button is green, it is the one you are currently using, and the grey button means you do not own the skin yet. Press the "equip" button for the one you want to use, and that skin will be what you see for that item throughout the bot.
Also notice the icons with other items displayed at the bottom of the command. You can use these to select a different item you want to view the skins for, or use the arrows to browse even more.
Skin Knockout System
As you grind commands and play the bot trying to unlock skins, you might notice that sometimes the reward will say you unlocked a skin of a certain rarity, but the rarity you received does not match. For example, completing a weekly quest might say it will award you a "Godly Item Skin", but then when you complete it you receive a common item skin.
In order to help users unlock all of the skins available throughout the bot, skin rewards use a knockout system. So if you have all of the skins available from that reward for that rarity, the bot will go down in rarity trying to find one you need so you can unlock a new skin.
Some skins are exclusively given from specific locations. For example, some skins can only be gotten from obtaining a certain level on the bot or from vote rewards. These skins may have the rarity you need, but if they aren't possible to be obtained from weekly quests, the bot can't give it to you as a reward for quests.
If the bot goes through all the skins possible from that reward area and finds none you are missing, then it will give you skin fragments instead.
Skin Fragments
The Skin Fragment system is intended to help users get the skins they really want so they have more control over their collection and more opportunities to collect. With the new system, if you find a skin you already own while grinding, you will now be given Skin Fragments instead.
The number of Skin Fragments you get will depend on the rarity of the duplicate skin you find. The rarer it is, the more Skin Fragments you’ll get to make up for your already owning the skin.
The Skin Fragments can be used to purchase skins you don't already own from the Omega Shop or Skin Shop. Each day in the Omega Shop (/advancements omega) , a new skin is available for a discounted price, but you must meet the Omega requirement to purchase it.
The Skins Shop is available in the /shop view command. Use the dropdown menu to select the Skin Shop, and there, you can view all of the available skins you can purchase with Skin Fragments. What is available rotates every day, so check back each day if you want to collect every possible. If you already own a skin or do not have enough fragments, the buttons will be grayed out, and you cannot purchase it.
Since the shop only changes once a day, you have time to earn fragments to purchase any skins you want to buy. It will also give you an advantage if you collect all the skins, as you can then save fragments to purchase the newest skins when they are released. You can see the number of skin fragments you own on /balance or /skins view.
And if you’re wondering, yes, fragments are saved during Prestige and Omega, and no, they cannot be lost to death.
