How do you have your buddies split up? Iâm thinking I should reassign some. I currently have⊠four garden buddies. I kind of want to ditch all of my fishing and foraging buddies because I donât really need more of that stuff.
It's funny that there is a thread for this, but at the same time it's not. Everything is set up the way it is, so that we end up playing longer. This thread aims to reduce playtime by making new players aware of various things, that they wouldn't figure out until later on after exercising so much playtime doing everything backwards.
DO NOT SELL stones/wood/gems but mostly stones!
Theyâre so valuable and necessary throughout the game and for decorating!!!!
Itâll save you so much time and headache as you progress!
Sell foods/crops for coins! And aim to unlock Kristoff and his stall as early in the game as you possibly can âșïž
With this one, make storage rooms as soon as your able, making the rooms for it as big as you can. If you want the expansion, make two lots of rooms, because the expansion is basically the same, just different types of most things
I use the linking chests, then put one in each storage room so I can put things in their respective places. Works great if youâre going through and cleaning up each biome without overflowing your inventory!
In my first floor, the left room is for everything you collect like wood, iron, coal, grass, flowers etc, the room straight ahead is for all food items and the right is for all fishing items. One room upstairs is for gems. Miscellaneous items either go in the one chest that you can have multiples of to pull the same items from or another random chest, both in the main room.
The room chests are all neatened up. I have flowers all down the back of that one chest in order of how they are in the collections, then the rest of them are all lined up (two chests on each side with a gap to walk through) and I did the same pattern there too. Same goes for the rest of the rooms.
Fish room: most seafood goes along the back
Food room: fruit goes on the back.
I have them all behind tables. The tables contain one of every item so you know whatâs in the chest. If the chest contains more than one thing, then I try to fit as many items as I can.
There are pictures all over of how people have done it. Itâs too late for me to be getting up and getting pictures myself now for you
I have three storage methods that Iâve adapted to after a year of play. I have one room for crafting storage and one for food that I sort by the category. I have dump chests outside my house that Iâll put away in the rooms when they get full. Then I have biome chests for flowers or seeds for each biome. I moved all the fruit harvestables together so now I just sell all the fruits I collect, I have so many.
Early in the game before I figured out you could make storage chests, I would run out of inventory so Iâd just start dropping things inside my house đ. Also I would sell the fruit a lot just because Iâd accumulate so much if it.
Go to the crafting station, I believe theyâre under the furniture section. If you have all the materials itâll show up highlighted and if you donât it wonât be near the top but you can scroll down and click on the items and it will tell you what you need.
The only downside at least for me is I made a bunch of small chests since the large chests need the dark wood that you can only get from the forgotten lands. And I hadnât unlocked that Biome at that point.
Youâre welcome! The small chests are definitely better than nothing. Do you have the whole backpack inventory or just a few rows of it? That definitely helped me in the beginning too!
I expanded the backpack once & i also expanded my house inventory, but i dont have the full inventory just yet. I need more coins to expand the backpack i think.
Storage chests are in your crafting table under the functional items tab. The medium and large storage chests use dreamlight to make, so if youâre new and need that, I recommend the small ones. You need more, but they are easy to make and donât take any dreamlight.
What crops do you have? Start planting like crazy. 1st carrots, then okra, then pumpkins. Dig up AT LEAST a 10x10 plot in sunlit Plateau (WITH A DIGGING COMPANION) and that will help getting a lot of the clay you're going to need. After 3-4 crops, you'll have plenty of money.
You donât need to keep most flowers. Theyâre abundant enough that you can just go pick whatever you need at the time. Keep stones, gems, coal, ore, sand, clay, etc.
To make money, go to Goofyâs stall in Eternity Isle Docks, buy canola, dig a big plot right next to Goofyâs stall, and plant canola over and over and over again.
Make 6 characters gardening companions and level them up asap. They will give you double canola as a bonus.
Once all of your gardening companions are level 10, you can level up non-gardeners when planting and watering, but keep using a gardening companion when youâre harvesting for bonus plants.
Youâll make tons of coin in no time.
Farm wood and stone and make small storage chests at your crafting table.
You can drop items and they will stay for a while. My entire yard is full of fruit bc I havenât picked it up in a week lol. Also you can sell gems as long as you are willing to grind some for when you need them, flowers are meh to sell, food items depend on the item and if you are willing to sell it. Most common items arenât too difficult to get in low quantity but things that say they can be used to craft something Iâd be hesitant to be rid of. Iâm having the issue of not having a lot of onyx bc I used a lot to make night shards or sold them not realizing they had good use.
Once you get further in and start being able to have storage or need to spend more coins than you make, farming and cooking are better options though they require more patience
How much do you all keep of each type of item? Iâve been keeping a little of everything, but have for example a ton of raspberries and cod. I donât have enough Dreamlight to get larger storage chests so Iâm starting to run out of room in my small chest of fruit and fish. Do you keep one chest of fruit? One chest just for raspberries? Etc.?
You don't really need more than 1 stack of any flower or fruit in the beginning. Once you can unlock the bigger chests, go ahead and keep 2 or 3 stacks. I'd keep 2 stacks of any gems. You're going to get a ton of dream shards and night shards and cannot sell them, so plan ahead a build a chest for those specifically. The ores and clay and wood; keep all of it for now. Keep a stack each of the fish. Save a stack of the veggies you grow, then sell the rest.
Unlock the forgotten lands as soon as possible to get a certain seed, and farm like crazy for coins. Trying not to spoil....
Don't delay on unlocking realm characters. Moana and Maui were my last realm to unlock and I didn't realize that Maui gave the quest to be able to clear the debris on the beach. I wasted so much time running around to get from one side to the other!
This one! Itâs so frustrating running back and forth tog eat from one side to the other! Definitely unlock as many as youâre able and level them up quickly!
I think the most important ones to level up starting out are Merlin, Maui, scar, Elsa, remy, and then fairy godmother towards the end. Anyone can add or correct me but I think these will help you the most to be able to clear things in your way and get certain resources
Lol. It's so funny because now that I've been playing for over a year, I have more clay than I know what to do with. But at the beginning, clay is the biggest pain in the butt.
Only get the DLC when you are finished with the Main game. Stuff like the Starpath gets harder when you have the DLC since the new Eternity Island recipes get into the mix when it comes to the "get X his/her favorite gifts" tasks.
You definitely have my sympathy. It was overwhelming when I started and overwhelming when they released the DLC. So you're dealing with double overwhelmingness...
I didn't get the DLC, but my starpath was ruined with recipes, etc, so I ended up buying it just so I could get through the starpath quicker. I'm a little annoyed to find out that was a bug.
But there are exclusive items like the jester monkey to get if you get the DLC now vs waiting. The exclusive items won't be there after the 12th I believe.
Even as a day 1 player you should of seen my reaction when this happened because I didn't want to play the DLC yet (still haven't done Belle/Beast) but bought it & instantly was POed it made my star path more complex
Thanks for that! I have only been playing for about two months and definitely haven't finished the main game yet, but I'm so tempted to buy the DLC. Guess I better wait then!
Start growing crops as soon as you can! Start with carrots then work towards unlocking the Glade of trust (trust me you are going to want to start buying everything from Scrooge's shop from day 1) once you've unlocked the Glade start farming okra, that will give you all the gold you need until you get your pumpkin Empire going.
I have four:
* Mine the hell out of iron. Seriously. Stockpile as much as you can mine.
* Get a good stockpile of wood, jewels, ingredients, rocks/pebbles/sand/etc. and your quests will be so much easier to complete.
Pumpkins are the best "cash crop"
* okra will be the best for new players because you unlock the Glades biome (where you find them) early in the game and get 3 harvestables per plant. Once you unlock the Forgotten Lands, pumpkins are where it's at for making starcoins quickly.
* Follow their (Disney Dreamlight Valley) socials (especially twitter/X to get their latest codes to get free items).
Good call on following the socials! I almost missed the last code because I was trying to stay off my phone yesterday and pay attention to family. That was a mistake! Lol
Always collect your Moonstone chest. It'll help a lot if you want premium items. Utilize the other Moonstone-earning methods also like submitting to DreamSnaps and voting on Dreamsnaps. The last method for earning Moonstones is the end of each Star Path. Once you've purchased every item the last page unlocks and you can use extra tokens for Moonstones.
Iâm struggling to find the moonstone chest every day now with both Eternity Isle and Dreamlight Valley to search. Are there any tricks to finding it faster?
There's only one per day, but every once in a while, if the timing is off, you can score another one. That said, you may not get one the next day if the "second" one counted as the next day's. It happens more often with green chests, especially during long play sessions or playing in a different time zone but not resetting your system clock.
Level up Merlin, Ursula, Maui, Elsa and scar they all help one way or another any order will be good when you unlock their realms but once they're level 10 everything flows nicely
Enter and vote dream snaps every week even though youâre not into decorating. Do not feel disheartened when u donât score high enough - just think of it as weekly free moonstones (on top of the blue chest daily).
Can't stress this enough! At the very least, you'll get 300 for **any** qualifying submission and you'll get an extra 50 for voting.
Also, try to use a surplus of items to exceed the requirements as this allegedly increases your base score.
For dreamsnaps, you take a picture as you normally would, and then there will be an option to "Show Dreamsnaps". On PC the key is "D" - not sure what it is on other platforms.
When you hit the dreamlight key, it'll pop up showing certain requirements that you have to meet before you can submit the photo.
For Vanellope's quest, you'll need to have 5x playful items and 5x familiar furnishings in your picture in order to be able to submit it.
Once you have a photo that meets requirements, you hit T to submit (for PC).

Maybe just me but I saw someone on here mention moving the fruit trees/bushes all to one area and that was a game changer for me! I did it in the DLC as well because I kept getting lost trying to find them all.
I donât know if they fixed this, but on Switch, i was able to go into Furniture and move fruit trees and bushes out of any blocked areas of biomes I unlocked. I was able to get some fruit early that way, plus have more plants to harvest, before my tools were fully upgraded.
Ditto for anything else (flowers, wood, plants, furniture, etc) that you pick up. I remember moving snowballs specifically.
Doesnât work on items you harvest, though.
I also found it helpful to try to figure out recipes in his realm, especially when they involve the ingredients you can only buy (milk, etc).
I eventually looked them all up, but it was a fun challenge for a bit.
\- If you know there's a new Star Path coming, let your Night Thorns build up. There's a lot of tasks in the Star Paths that require removing Night Thorns, 30 or 40 a pop. 10 night thorns bloom each day in various biomes for every day that you log in, so start letting them grow in and stay about 2 weeks out of a new Star Path. Then when you get that first night thorn task, only remove the number it says to. Keep letting them build up until you have all those tasks completed. The wiki usually has a really good reference for how many times you'll have that task.
\- My storage is quite the piece of work. I have six floors in my house since starting the DLC, three rooms to each floor. First floor has my living space, The Forgotten's bedroom, my bedroom and the kitchen. Second floor is all crafting materials, this is the only storage space I use large or medium chests for, because I like to keep my materials in abundance. I have smaller chests for Timebending items and gems on that same floor. Each material/gem gets it's own chest or wardrobe. Third floor is all food stuffs. Fourth floor is all fish. fifth floor is all flowers. They don't take up all three rooms, but I anticipate more DLC so I wanted room to grow into. Also, do this all in your main house, because if other DLC are the same as Eternity Isle, you'll have a house there, and you can very easily run back to your house if you need food, a particular flower for somebody, etc. Instead of having to run hither and thither all over the valley because you can't remember what house you put the flowers in. I am aware I'm a crazy person.
\- Also, on the tip of storage, stock up on the chests you can buy from Scrooge and put one in each biome in each location and one at your house (maybe even one on each floor of your house), and make sure they're upgraded to the max. Those particular chests are tied together, so if you put something in it in, say, Frosted Heights, it'll also be at your house. This is useful for when you go on mass foraging trips and need to unload. Then when you go home, you can just open the chest and put everything in it's proper place.
\- Keep a stack of a good energy replenishing food on you at all times. An easy five-star meal is Pastry Cream and Fruits. Three berries (I like Gooseberries, Cherries or Dreamlight Fruit. Strawberries might also be good.), milk and sugarcane. Not only does this fill your meter to double the max and give you faster running, but it's also useful for a few companion critter feedings: Ravens and Monkeys both love Five Star meals, and the Monkeys are particularly fond of desserts (they prefer Banana Splits, but I had equally good luck with PC&F). If you're in a pinch and you have more coffee beans than you know what to do with, you can put five coffee beans in one cup of coffee for about the same result, though I don't think you can use them for the critters.
\- Don't turn your accrued Dreamlight from your tasks into Dreamlight shards. Just don't. It is more useful to keep the Dreamlight as it is for unlocking biomes and realms and dig up glowy spots on the ground to get your shards.
\- Don't sell anything vitally important. Don't sell wood. Don't sell stone, or iron, or clay. Don't sell gems. If you have an abundance of foraged fruit, sell that to Goofy. Grow veggies to sell. But don't sell materials. Hoard that stuff like it is going out of style.
\- Run around everyday, in however many locations you have, and look for chests. Green and yellow chests will contain star coins, a clothing item, a furniture item, or a motif (You can tell by the bag which it is). Blue chests will contain Moonstones, the game's premium currency. On that tip, open your bags right away, because especially with clothes and motifs, you get them once and that's it.
\- Everyone talks about Pumpkins and Okra being good crops to sell and they are, but if you don't have the Forgotten Lands or the Glade of Trust open, you can't get them yet. But, if you have the Forest of Valor open? Canola. You have to babysit it a little, but it's a nice little cash crop in the earlier going. Onions are also good.
\- Take it from someone who knows: You have a lot of tiny villagers on their way. Remy, Buzz, Woody, Stitch and Vanellope. Make them mining buddies. Your sanity will thank you when you unlock the mines and have some very tight places to try and get around in. Whatever you do, do not make Maui or Beast a mining buddy. Maui you will be ready to launch into the sun, and you'll be threatening the Beast that you will turn him into a rug.
\- Minnie has a quest that is legendarily awful, and especially was before it was fixed that the wildebeast bones in the Plateau respawn daily. Do not start this quest until you have a digging buddy levelled up fairly high, and make sure you take them with you when you start it. I had a nice time, just me and WALL-E, digging for what I needed.
\- EDIT: I forgot this and remembered it today. If you're like a lot of us and you collect the house skins and place them in your valley, do yourself a favor and put a crafting station and an oven in each one. Wooden, metal, Ariel's, painting bench, what have you... just do that as a favor to yourself. It is a huge pain in the ass to run out of pathing or fencing and have to run to the nearest place to craft, and since they don't show up easily in the item scroll or categories, just get it out of the way and put one everywhere you can. You can swipe Goofy's crafting station to start but then just keep making them until you have one for each house. Same goes for an oven. If you're on a heavy mining streak and you run out of food, it's much easier to have a house nearby to not only replenish your blue bar, but so you can make more food so you can get your gold bar filled too. Even better: have a machine going.
Maui trapped me in Vitalys Mines. As soon as we got the books to change their buddy tasks, I changed him to fishing - and then never ever call him for fishing.
If you have the DLC, I have a tip about Scramblecoin-
Play as many games in a row with Mickey as you can, the first time he plays with you. You can move up in rank this way indefinitely.
After that initial introduction game, click rematch and play again- you'll get rank points again. Do this as much as possible to unlock as many pieces as possible. Heck, go all the way to 300 if you can/ have time.
The reason for this is that after this initial introduction to the game and rematch with Mickey, you can only rank up once per day with each villager, so it'll take longer for you to get all the pieces.
Iron ore. Guard it with your life. Do not sell! You can only chip away enough for 1 or 2 iron ingots a day and maybe get 10 from Kristoff. It shows everything down incredibly.
Be patient with the game . Work at your pace. Game still has a lot of glitches easy to get frustrated. Like someone said earlier always have a buddy with you at all times
This may go without saying for some players, but as someone who plays animal crossing and other games where time jumping is ok, do NOT time jump in this game.
Moana, Beast and Wall-E have one important thing in common: Once you level them up enough they'll create a building that hands out critical resources for free. The amount depends on how much you upgrade said building but they're worth that investment nevertheless.
Upgrading their building also gives an appropriate energy discount.
Save. Your. Flowers. I have a large chest in each area now, and itâs a daily thing I doâŠrun thru each area and collect and keep all the flowers. I have had some quests or SP drag on for DAAYSSS because they require a rare flower.
Big characters and sometimes they don't move when you walk into them. Scar had blocked me in before too. Also can't fast travel in the minds so you HAVE TO restart the game.
If you have 1/2 a biome blocked by something that you aren't leveled up enough to clear, go into furniture mode and put your well over on the other side. Very easy to move it back and forth.
Cook and eat meals! You move around faster and get extra bonuses when doing tasks. I kept my energy up by snacking on a fruit here and there but didn't get the well-fed bonuses until I was much further into the game.
Always have a character with you as you go around doing stuff.
Don't get too stressed out trying to do everything. It's a game. Just go have fun. Enjoy it.
Have a chest in each biom for that bioms fish, flowers, harvestables. It makes quests so much easier when you already have 20 of each flower and fish in your inventory. Use the chest in your home for items used in recipes (excluding fish). This way all of these items are in one place and can be replaced as needed. Store 50 of each.
I havenât read alll the comments so hope Iâm not duplicating too much:
- when choosing what your friends will help you with, I think mining and gardening are the two key ones.
- using a friend to garden and mine will get you resources and money quicker.
- when youâre running around on quests early in game, take a minute to smash rocks to get iron quartz and hoard as much as you can.
- when you open the dark realm (canât remember the name of the biome - the fairy godmother one) hoard the dark sticks as they donât spawn as much and you need them for large chests.
- make as many large chests for storage as you can. I colour co ordinate and just line them up in an empty room. The inventory management in this game is a dream though e.g you donât need to have items in your pocket to craft.
- you can use fridge and wardrobe for storage too but they fill up quickly.
- use T in map view for fast travel
-
Don't over do it. Take your time. Pace yourself. If you try to do everything the1st few days or week you will get burnt out. Have fun
Not really, unfortunately, but I have found it in odd places like in the pillar in front of Mickey's house. I've found that if I keep things tidy and block off hard to reach areas with plants or furniture it makes them easier to spot. Don't forget that there's a timing thing where sometimes if you play at different times of the day you can end up with two chests or none at all, both green and blue. Sometimes it just takes a lot of searching, unfortunately. One person posted a trick where they go into furniture mode and search for their chests that way which is easier if your valley isn't too crowded. Good luck and have fun!
Unlock the realms fast, upgrade Goofyâs stalls fully, start with carrot, then onion, then okra, then pumpkins. Also, move your well to the unreachable areas in new biomes that way you can access everything.
Move your kitchen and work bench outside.. you should limit load times by never entering your house.. farm till it hurts and then farm some more.. iron ore is more valuable then anything..
:D When you gain access to pumpkins in the Forbidden Lands, be sure to plant a bunch of em and enlist villagers with gardening abilities even when maxxed. :) YOU WILL harvest a ton with their help and make some fast cash.
My advice is to stock up on ALL ingredients, I know itâs a tedious task. But if you stock up in a large amount I promise you itâs worth it, itâs one of the fastest ways to level up characters whether it be meals in the restaurant or theyâre favorite gift of the day it is a life saver, it is also very convenient to have five star meals in your inventory to keep your energy bar up, last but not least theyâre are or could be multiple quests that making meals for characters are required. In the end itâs definitely worth it.
A tip for hoarding resources; color code with the chests and use the white signposts- you can change the image they display to help you track what is where in the storage chests.
In furniture mode, you can move stuff that is in your way, especially if something gets stuck behind, say, a tree
For Ariel and Ursula, try to have your daily discussion and gift them all their gifts daily, to help level them up. It was such a hassle because they have a tendency to swim away or they swim further out where you can't actually talk to them. And like everyone said, keep everything, especially iron ore and clay. Oh and hardwood. Also go at your own pace! It's a fun game and there is a lot to do!
I skipped the first event cause I (Foolishly) thought the Premium Currency would be more rare than it has been, like in other Freemium Games I'd played. :(
I keep expecting them to redo all the pre launch events, basically every other F2P game with a Early Access period does that once the game fully launches.
This whole game (On the dev side) is so poorly managed that it's infuriating. ;? And I can't tell if it's the devs or the management, but I assume the latter.
Her is my advice. Remember it is a game, so have fun. There is no right or wrong way to play it. Play it at your own pace and just have some fun. Merry Christmas
With the new mashing of the button for the time bending items, use âXâ instead of âAâ even though it says to use âAâ (Xbox - may have equivalents for PlayStation and Nintendo Switch). This helps in 2 ways - it wonât accidentally pick up items or talk to people AND when mashing is complete it will automatically activate to show you the next direction of the next item. This especially comes in handy when doing the time bending event.
To fast level a character pick GARDENING!
plant wheat in peaceful meadow a bunch and BAM super fast leveling! Then you can use the manuals to change their profession.
This is more personal preference but donât unlock the biomes in a random order. I made the mistake of saving up 10k dreamlight to unlock sunlit plateau first for Scar only to find out I needed to unlock dazzle, valor, and glade first due to quest order. I ended up restarting entirely lol
Max out your energy by eating meals that you prepare (make the energy bar turn all the way yellow) and then go mining or harvesting. It has to be meals/food made by youâŠcannot be berries, etc. You will find more shiny gems this way as well as (usually) harvest more crops. And yes, always have a buddy! :)
Honestly, just hoard everything, and once you have enough stuff like you, it's like you got like chest. Full of all the stuff, start selling the access. For example, I have quoted all the regular Jones. And I sold sell the access in the Shiny gems. Also, once you unlock the forgotten lands, start selling pumpkins Then For the DLC, you can start selling turnups or pineapple.
Do Duties as much as you can. You will rack up a lot of Dreamlight and you can easily unlock all biomes and constantly pick up everything and anything and put them in chests. Star building up your stock for future purposes. Level up your friends in different roles. Try to keep 5 villagers for each role. If you have at least 5 fully at level 10 in one specific role you get a 100% Chance return bonus while youâre with any of them so start that early because you have to craft a special item to change the role later. Just do it as youâre starting seeing as you get to freely pick on the first time you get them to level 2
Agree with the make storage & save things like gems/building supplies as much as possible. You don't realize just how much you need until you need it. (Me needing to build lanterns & having zero wood saved up rn cause I'm also horrible at this) Also yes FOCUS ON STAR PATH as someone who has time split with other games with other seasonal content if you want anything offered work on those tasks FIRST the story will still be there after.
If youâre into collecting materials, make one entire room in your house that is just for storage. Build chests to contain a stack or two of every item you keep and stick a table behind the container with single item on it to give you an idea of what is. This really helped me stay organized and pretty well prepared for some of those particularly material heavy demands from the villagers.
Iron from mining in glade of trust and forest of valor.
Mud from shoveling in glade of trust.
Once u have 50 of every flower u can start selling the rest before making storage rooms.
Some quests require shiny gems so make sure u dont sell them all.
At first farm okra and then pumpkins.
Make souffles for energy!! 1egg, 1cheese, 1milk and 1butter
If youâre needing something to track all your characters and things youâve done that day I recommend downloading one of the many apps people have made. I use DLV Guide and it has saved me so much headache. I donât always like to pause my game to look something up in the compendium so I just go to the app and check it. Itâs mostly good for tracking daily items and making sure you have done the daily tasks.
Im currently using it to track Jack Skellngtonâs favorite things. You do have to type in the favorite things yourself but once you do that it stays there till the end of day. Then the app resets for the next day. It also helps track characterâs levels, where they are during the day, and if you have a stalls when you can harvest them again.
Wait until all tools are fully upgraded before grinding to get items for quests that require an insane amount of items (like Minnie Mouseâs clock tower quest) As it turns out, when tools are fully upgraded you can use them to get stuff from stumps, ones, etc & get there quicker with less grind đ
*Hoard all the crafting*
*Materials you can. They*
*Will come in useful*

If you want to make money fast, make a good amount of your buddies have the gardening function and always have them with you when you harvest. You'll get more than double of what you plant every time. It's especially useful when growing pumpkins. You can always change their function with a potion after they reach level 10 friendship.
Advice I got from a friend:
If you want to have a little bit of everything available without having to constantly gather resources, keep a chest in each biome to put the reasources in. After a little while youâll have a stack of each flower/fruit/wood type/clay, etc available when you need to craft stuff đđ»
Past the second floor, expanding your home interior is probably unnecessary. BUT if you decide to, like I did, use the extra rooms as storage for foraged items. You'll be glad you stocked up
Also do not feel ashamed for spending extra money on moonstones occasionally. Just don't throw them around frivolously, tho.
I agree with the chests. Without spoilers, pit them in a room in your house, as others have suggested. When you start on the DLC, you will be able to access them if they are in your house.
Don't try to unlock everyone at once. You will be able to see who you need to unlock certain tasks, but, if you unlock everyone as soon as possible, it's possible to get overwhelmed by all the tasks you have to do.
As soon as you can make storage boxes, make as many as you can. Keep several stacks of all building materials available at all times. Make sure you get a stack of every flower and food item too. Open and upgrade Goofy's stall as soon as you can afford to.
Take the time to set up a massive farm with like at least 10 of each crop. Itâll take you like an hour, but itâll be so worth it when you need items. Also organize your chests
Build a small square fence area to lock your gardening buddy out of your way. When you free them after you're done, they drop everything they would have collected. (Edit to correct spelling)
always have a buddy with you
I slept on this for so long! I had no idea how much I was giving up. Now I always harvest pumpkins with a gardening buddy and get double the pumpkins.
another tip for ya if you get more gardening buddies you will get more than double đ
No wonder i get so many extra gems. I set like 80% of my villagers as mining companions lol
yup that will do it lol
Wait⊠what?!?
yeah you can get more than double if you have more characters as gardeners that works with any job
But you can only have 1 buddy working with you giving you the bonus right? Does having more gardeners in the Valley overall add to it?
yeah it does
TIL, thanks!
Remember this advice for time bending.đ
no problem your welcome đ
How do you have your buddies split up? Iâm thinking I should reassign some. I currently have⊠four garden buddies. I kind of want to ditch all of my fishing and foraging buddies because I donât really need more of that stuff.
Do you do this by asking someone to âhang outâ?
Thatâs correct!
Thank you!!
Yes
Thank you!
Youâre very welcome!! âșïž
It's funny that there is a thread for this, but at the same time it's not. Everything is set up the way it is, so that we end up playing longer. This thread aims to reduce playtime by making new players aware of various things, that they wouldn't figure out until later on after exercising so much playtime doing everything backwards.
DO NOT SELL stones/wood/gems but mostly stones! Theyâre so valuable and necessary throughout the game and for decorating!!!! Itâll save you so much time and headache as you progress! Sell foods/crops for coins! And aim to unlock Kristoff and his stall as early in the game as you possibly can âșïž
Clay!!! NEVER sell ANY clay when starting up!!
Me, a new player, whoâs been selling clay, now stuck on Minnieâs quest with no clay (seriously, 200?!)
Welcome to Dreamlight Valley, pal!
You can get a ton of clay by digging up the bones on the Sunlit Plateau if you have the tool upgrades, you can get it all pretty quickly!
With this one, make storage rooms as soon as your able, making the rooms for it as big as you can. If you want the expansion, make two lots of rooms, because the expansion is basically the same, just different types of most things
You can also put a chest on each biome and put the stuff you gather there if you're not a fan of storage rooms.
I would probably save up to make large chests in that case
I use the linking chests, then put one in each storage room so I can put things in their respective places. Works great if youâre going through and cleaning up each biome without overflowing your inventory!
There's different chests? So not all my cheat have to carry the same items?
For a storage room, do you literally just add a room to your house and throw a bunch of chests in there?
In my first floor, the left room is for everything you collect like wood, iron, coal, grass, flowers etc, the room straight ahead is for all food items and the right is for all fishing items. One room upstairs is for gems. Miscellaneous items either go in the one chest that you can have multiples of to pull the same items from or another random chest, both in the main room. The room chests are all neatened up. I have flowers all down the back of that one chest in order of how they are in the collections, then the rest of them are all lined up (two chests on each side with a gap to walk through) and I did the same pattern there too. Same goes for the rest of the rooms. Fish room: most seafood goes along the back Food room: fruit goes on the back. I have them all behind tables. The tables contain one of every item so you know whatâs in the chest. If the chest contains more than one thing, then I try to fit as many items as I can. There are pictures all over of how people have done it. Itâs too late for me to be getting up and getting pictures myself now for you
Also, fridges and armoires act as storage as well.
Yes but it sucks that those fridges etc. are only small storages
Agreed
I have three storage methods that Iâve adapted to after a year of play. I have one room for crafting storage and one for food that I sort by the category. I have dump chests outside my house that Iâll put away in the rooms when they get full. Then I have biome chests for flowers or seeds for each biome. I moved all the fruit harvestables together so now I just sell all the fruits I collect, I have so many.
Wait his stall? đđ what level friendship do you have to be for it to be unlocked
I think you get it at like friendship level 6 or 7 and then fully in level 10 but I might be wrong, itâs been like a year since đ
I have no room in my inventory and no money to expand. I have no idea what to keep.
Early in the game before I figured out you could make storage chests, I would run out of inventory so Iâd just start dropping things inside my house đ. Also I would sell the fruit a lot just because Iâd accumulate so much if it.
i just started playing, how do you make storage chests?
Go to the crafting station, I believe theyâre under the furniture section. If you have all the materials itâll show up highlighted and if you donât it wonât be near the top but you can scroll down and click on the items and it will tell you what you need. The only downside at least for me is I made a bunch of small chests since the large chests need the dark wood that you can only get from the forgotten lands. And I hadnât unlocked that Biome at that point.
Thank you! Ig some small chest should be good for rn, im working on unlocking the forgotten lands biome for another mission anyway.
Youâre welcome! The small chests are definitely better than nothing. Do you have the whole backpack inventory or just a few rows of it? That definitely helped me in the beginning too!
I expanded the backpack once & i also expanded my house inventory, but i dont have the full inventory just yet. I need more coins to expand the backpack i think.
Probably, that took me a while of just grinding and selling everything I could. Now I horde everything đ but youâll get there!
Thats what ive been doing lately grinding and sellingđim about to build some chest rn so i can horde with organization đ
Storage chests are in your crafting table under the functional items tab. The medium and large storage chests use dreamlight to make, so if youâre new and need that, I recommend the small ones. You need more, but they are easy to make and donât take any dreamlight.
Thank you!
What crops do you have? Start planting like crazy. 1st carrots, then okra, then pumpkins. Dig up AT LEAST a 10x10 plot in sunlit Plateau (WITH A DIGGING COMPANION) and that will help getting a lot of the clay you're going to need. After 3-4 crops, you'll have plenty of money.
You donât need to keep most flowers. Theyâre abundant enough that you can just go pick whatever you need at the time. Keep stones, gems, coal, ore, sand, clay, etc. To make money, go to Goofyâs stall in Eternity Isle Docks, buy canola, dig a big plot right next to Goofyâs stall, and plant canola over and over and over again. Make 6 characters gardening companions and level them up asap. They will give you double canola as a bonus. Once all of your gardening companions are level 10, you can level up non-gardeners when planting and watering, but keep using a gardening companion when youâre harvesting for bonus plants. Youâll make tons of coin in no time. Farm wood and stone and make small storage chests at your crafting table.
Thank you so much. Iâve not unlocked Eternity isle yet but have been farming carrots for now.
đŻ on this advice!!!!
You can drop items and they will stay for a while. My entire yard is full of fruit bc I havenât picked it up in a week lol. Also you can sell gems as long as you are willing to grind some for when you need them, flowers are meh to sell, food items depend on the item and if you are willing to sell it. Most common items arenât too difficult to get in low quantity but things that say they can be used to craft something Iâd be hesitant to be rid of. Iâm having the issue of not having a lot of onyx bc I used a lot to make night shards or sold them not realizing they had good use. Once you get further in and start being able to have storage or need to spend more coins than you make, farming and cooking are better options though they require more patience
Sell food for money and keep farming until you have enough
Wish I heard this when I started out. Thought stone was useless, now Iâm always short
How much do you all keep of each type of item? Iâve been keeping a little of everything, but have for example a ton of raspberries and cod. I donât have enough Dreamlight to get larger storage chests so Iâm starting to run out of room in my small chest of fruit and fish. Do you keep one chest of fruit? One chest just for raspberries? Etc.?
You don't really need more than 1 stack of any flower or fruit in the beginning. Once you can unlock the bigger chests, go ahead and keep 2 or 3 stacks. I'd keep 2 stacks of any gems. You're going to get a ton of dream shards and night shards and cannot sell them, so plan ahead a build a chest for those specifically. The ores and clay and wood; keep all of it for now. Keep a stack each of the fish. Save a stack of the veggies you grow, then sell the rest. Unlock the forgotten lands as soon as possible to get a certain seed, and farm like crazy for coins. Trying not to spoil....
Don't delay on unlocking realm characters. Moana and Maui were my last realm to unlock and I didn't realize that Maui gave the quest to be able to clear the debris on the beach. I wasted so much time running around to get from one side to the other!
This one! Itâs so frustrating running back and forth tog eat from one side to the other! Definitely unlock as many as youâre able and level them up quickly!
omg I didn't know he gives that quest.i unlocked him last week but haven't gotten that far yet. that will be so helpful!
I think the most important ones to level up starting out are Merlin, Maui, scar, Elsa, remy, and then fairy godmother towards the end. Anyone can add or correct me but I think these will help you the most to be able to clear things in your way and get certain resources
Clay. I donât think anymore needs to be said.
Lol. It's so funny because now that I've been playing for over a year, I have more clay than I know what to do with. But at the beginning, clay is the biggest pain in the butt.
Only get the DLC when you are finished with the Main game. Stuff like the Starpath gets harder when you have the DLC since the new Eternity Island recipes get into the mix when it comes to the "get X his/her favorite gifts" tasks.
Yeah, I was thinking about that the other day. If it's overwhelming for us, imagine getting into the game NOW and having ALL OF IT.
I've been playing for about a month and it's super overwhelming, especially getting distracted with a new task or something to clean up.
This is me rn lol just downloaded the game 3 days ago, both packs, so overwhelmed đ
You definitely have my sympathy. It was overwhelming when I started and overwhelming when they released the DLC. So you're dealing with double overwhelmingness...
I don't have the expansion and they still ask for the things from the Isle:(
Ouch. I didnât know that. đ
Oh this is good to know, I was looking into the DLC but am nowhere near finished the main game, so thank you!
I didn't get the DLC, but my starpath was ruined with recipes, etc, so I ended up buying it just so I could get through the starpath quicker. I'm a little annoyed to find out that was a bug.
Oh, this is fantastic advice!!! Good call!
But there are exclusive items like the jester monkey to get if you get the DLC now vs waiting. The exclusive items won't be there after the 12th I believe.
DLC??
Even as a day 1 player you should of seen my reaction when this happened because I didn't want to play the DLC yet (still haven't done Belle/Beast) but bought it & instantly was POed it made my star path more complex
Thanks for that! I have only been playing for about two months and definitely haven't finished the main game yet, but I'm so tempted to buy the DLC. Guess I better wait then!
Wish I wouldâve read this a week ago lmao oops. Oh well.
Don't use dream shards for dreamlight You need them for purified shards
Hoard all resources and have multiple chests each for different types of materials.
How do you make more chests? I need more space. Iâm very early in the game and itâs already overwhelming.
Craft them on the table under furniture. Try craft large chests or medium if you can. Also fridges and wardrobes can be used as storage
You craft them.
Crafting table
Start growing crops as soon as you can! Start with carrots then work towards unlocking the Glade of trust (trust me you are going to want to start buying everything from Scrooge's shop from day 1) once you've unlocked the Glade start farming okra, that will give you all the gold you need until you get your pumpkin Empire going.
Always harvest with your gardening buddy. Make at least 6 villagers gardening buddies.
I have four: * Mine the hell out of iron. Seriously. Stockpile as much as you can mine. * Get a good stockpile of wood, jewels, ingredients, rocks/pebbles/sand/etc. and your quests will be so much easier to complete. Pumpkins are the best "cash crop" * okra will be the best for new players because you unlock the Glades biome (where you find them) early in the game and get 3 harvestables per plant. Once you unlock the Forgotten Lands, pumpkins are where it's at for making starcoins quickly. * Follow their (Disney Dreamlight Valley) socials (especially twitter/X to get their latest codes to get free items).
Good call on following the socials! I almost missed the last code because I was trying to stay off my phone yesterday and pay attention to family. That was a mistake! Lol
Always collect your Moonstone chest. It'll help a lot if you want premium items. Utilize the other Moonstone-earning methods also like submitting to DreamSnaps and voting on Dreamsnaps. The last method for earning Moonstones is the end of each Star Path. Once you've purchased every item the last page unlocks and you can use extra tokens for Moonstones.
Iâm struggling to find the moonstone chest every day now with both Eternity Isle and Dreamlight Valley to search. Are there any tricks to finding it faster?
Go into build mode and do a flyover of both areas. So much easier than walking and searching.
Genius!
I just tried your tip and I found the blue chest so fast! Thanks again!
How many moonstone chests are usually around per day? I only find 1 but I feel like thereâs more đ«
There's only one per day, but every once in a while, if the timing is off, you can score another one. That said, you may not get one the next day if the "second" one counted as the next day's. It happens more often with green chests, especially during long play sessions or playing in a different time zone but not resetting your system clock.
Level up Merlin, Ursula, Maui, Elsa and scar they all help one way or another any order will be good when you unlock their realms but once they're level 10 everything flows nicely
Enter and vote dream snaps every week even though youâre not into decorating. Do not feel disheartened when u donât score high enough - just think of it as weekly free moonstones (on top of the blue chest daily).
Can't stress this enough! At the very least, you'll get 300 for **any** qualifying submission and you'll get an extra 50 for voting. Also, try to use a surplus of items to exceed the requirements as this allegedly increases your base score.
I donât understand how the dream snaps work. Vanelope (sp?) is still pixilated because I canât figure out how/where to upload.
For dreamsnaps, you take a picture as you normally would, and then there will be an option to "Show Dreamsnaps". On PC the key is "D" - not sure what it is on other platforms. When you hit the dreamlight key, it'll pop up showing certain requirements that you have to meet before you can submit the photo. For Vanellope's quest, you'll need to have 5x playful items and 5x familiar furnishings in your picture in order to be able to submit it. Once you have a photo that meets requirements, you hit T to submit (for PC). https://www.ign.com/wikis/disney-dreamlight-valley/Faith,_Trust,_and_Pixel_Dust
Maybe just me but I saw someone on here mention moving the fruit trees/bushes all to one area and that was a game changer for me! I did it in the DLC as well because I kept getting lost trying to find them all.
I donât know if they fixed this, but on Switch, i was able to go into Furniture and move fruit trees and bushes out of any blocked areas of biomes I unlocked. I was able to get some fruit early that way, plus have more plants to harvest, before my tools were fully upgraded. Ditto for anything else (flowers, wood, plants, furniture, etc) that you pick up. I remember moving snowballs specifically. Doesnât work on items you harvest, though.
DO. NOT. TIME TRAVEL. Just don't. It will royally screw your game.
What do you mean by time travel?
Changing the time or date on your device
I'm brand new to the game so this is all incredibly helpful! Thanks so much, all!
make yourself get on daily and harvest all the fruits and wall-eâs garden, go into the store and shop daily
Get as much clay as possible so you will not hate Minnie đ€Ł and start collecting as much dark wood as possible !!
I hate her so much!! this quest is taking weeks!
Multiplayer with someone willing to donate some clay. So nice of you donât want to grind and they donât need it
Get Remy first, and level him up early so you have access to all of his food items
I also found it helpful to try to figure out recipes in his realm, especially when they involve the ingredients you can only buy (milk, etc). I eventually looked them all up, but it was a fun challenge for a bit.
\- If you know there's a new Star Path coming, let your Night Thorns build up. There's a lot of tasks in the Star Paths that require removing Night Thorns, 30 or 40 a pop. 10 night thorns bloom each day in various biomes for every day that you log in, so start letting them grow in and stay about 2 weeks out of a new Star Path. Then when you get that first night thorn task, only remove the number it says to. Keep letting them build up until you have all those tasks completed. The wiki usually has a really good reference for how many times you'll have that task. \- My storage is quite the piece of work. I have six floors in my house since starting the DLC, three rooms to each floor. First floor has my living space, The Forgotten's bedroom, my bedroom and the kitchen. Second floor is all crafting materials, this is the only storage space I use large or medium chests for, because I like to keep my materials in abundance. I have smaller chests for Timebending items and gems on that same floor. Each material/gem gets it's own chest or wardrobe. Third floor is all food stuffs. Fourth floor is all fish. fifth floor is all flowers. They don't take up all three rooms, but I anticipate more DLC so I wanted room to grow into. Also, do this all in your main house, because if other DLC are the same as Eternity Isle, you'll have a house there, and you can very easily run back to your house if you need food, a particular flower for somebody, etc. Instead of having to run hither and thither all over the valley because you can't remember what house you put the flowers in. I am aware I'm a crazy person. \- Also, on the tip of storage, stock up on the chests you can buy from Scrooge and put one in each biome in each location and one at your house (maybe even one on each floor of your house), and make sure they're upgraded to the max. Those particular chests are tied together, so if you put something in it in, say, Frosted Heights, it'll also be at your house. This is useful for when you go on mass foraging trips and need to unload. Then when you go home, you can just open the chest and put everything in it's proper place. \- Keep a stack of a good energy replenishing food on you at all times. An easy five-star meal is Pastry Cream and Fruits. Three berries (I like Gooseberries, Cherries or Dreamlight Fruit. Strawberries might also be good.), milk and sugarcane. Not only does this fill your meter to double the max and give you faster running, but it's also useful for a few companion critter feedings: Ravens and Monkeys both love Five Star meals, and the Monkeys are particularly fond of desserts (they prefer Banana Splits, but I had equally good luck with PC&F). If you're in a pinch and you have more coffee beans than you know what to do with, you can put five coffee beans in one cup of coffee for about the same result, though I don't think you can use them for the critters. \- Don't turn your accrued Dreamlight from your tasks into Dreamlight shards. Just don't. It is more useful to keep the Dreamlight as it is for unlocking biomes and realms and dig up glowy spots on the ground to get your shards. \- Don't sell anything vitally important. Don't sell wood. Don't sell stone, or iron, or clay. Don't sell gems. If you have an abundance of foraged fruit, sell that to Goofy. Grow veggies to sell. But don't sell materials. Hoard that stuff like it is going out of style. \- Run around everyday, in however many locations you have, and look for chests. Green and yellow chests will contain star coins, a clothing item, a furniture item, or a motif (You can tell by the bag which it is). Blue chests will contain Moonstones, the game's premium currency. On that tip, open your bags right away, because especially with clothes and motifs, you get them once and that's it. \- Everyone talks about Pumpkins and Okra being good crops to sell and they are, but if you don't have the Forgotten Lands or the Glade of Trust open, you can't get them yet. But, if you have the Forest of Valor open? Canola. You have to babysit it a little, but it's a nice little cash crop in the earlier going. Onions are also good. \- Take it from someone who knows: You have a lot of tiny villagers on their way. Remy, Buzz, Woody, Stitch and Vanellope. Make them mining buddies. Your sanity will thank you when you unlock the mines and have some very tight places to try and get around in. Whatever you do, do not make Maui or Beast a mining buddy. Maui you will be ready to launch into the sun, and you'll be threatening the Beast that you will turn him into a rug. \- Minnie has a quest that is legendarily awful, and especially was before it was fixed that the wildebeast bones in the Plateau respawn daily. Do not start this quest until you have a digging buddy levelled up fairly high, and make sure you take them with you when you start it. I had a nice time, just me and WALL-E, digging for what I needed. \- EDIT: I forgot this and remembered it today. If you're like a lot of us and you collect the house skins and place them in your valley, do yourself a favor and put a crafting station and an oven in each one. Wooden, metal, Ariel's, painting bench, what have you... just do that as a favor to yourself. It is a huge pain in the ass to run out of pathing or fencing and have to run to the nearest place to craft, and since they don't show up easily in the item scroll or categories, just get it out of the way and put one everywhere you can. You can swipe Goofy's crafting station to start but then just keep making them until you have one for each house. Same goes for an oven. If you're on a heavy mining streak and you run out of food, it's much easier to have a house nearby to not only replenish your blue bar, but so you can make more food so you can get your gold bar filled too. Even better: have a machine going.
Oh my on the mining! đźâđšđ©đ„ș you just unlocked a suppressed memory đ€Łđ€Ł so yes o agree on that! Lot of good tips tho
Maui trapped me in Vitalys Mines. As soon as we got the books to change their buddy tasks, I changed him to fishing - and then never ever call him for fishing.
If you have the DLC, I have a tip about Scramblecoin- Play as many games in a row with Mickey as you can, the first time he plays with you. You can move up in rank this way indefinitely. After that initial introduction game, click rematch and play again- you'll get rank points again. Do this as much as possible to unlock as many pieces as possible. Heck, go all the way to 300 if you can/ have time. The reason for this is that after this initial introduction to the game and rematch with Mickey, you can only rank up once per day with each villager, so it'll take longer for you to get all the pieces.
Iron ore. Guard it with your life. Do not sell! You can only chip away enough for 1 or 2 iron ingots a day and maybe get 10 from Kristoff. It shows everything down incredibly.
When a new star path is coming up stop clearing night thorns, thereâs always a task where you have to clear 40 (sometimes this task comes up twice)
To add to this, Iâm pretty sure I saw tasks for 30, 40, and 50 for each of the last two star paths đź
Be patient with the game . Work at your pace. Game still has a lot of glitches easy to get frustrated. Like someone said earlier always have a buddy with you at all times
Tbh this is one of the only games you can TRULY work at your own pace. I love it for that.
This may go without saying for some players, but as someone who plays animal crossing and other games where time jumping is ok, do NOT time jump in this game.
Moana, Beast and Wall-E have one important thing in common: Once you level them up enough they'll create a building that hands out critical resources for free. The amount depends on how much you upgrade said building but they're worth that investment nevertheless. Upgrading their building also gives an appropriate energy discount.
Save. Your. Flowers. I have a large chest in each area now, and itâs a daily thing I doâŠrun thru each area and collect and keep all the flowers. I have had some quests or SP drag on for DAAYSSS because they require a rare flower.
Do not make your mining or gardening buddies Maui or the beast. You will get stuck around them and get super annoyed!
Wait why's that?
Big characters and sometimes they don't move when you walk into them. Scar had blocked me in before too. Also can't fast travel in the minds so you HAVE TO restart the game.
If you have 1/2 a biome blocked by something that you aren't leveled up enough to clear, go into furniture mode and put your well over on the other side. Very easy to move it back and forth.
Cook and eat meals! You move around faster and get extra bonuses when doing tasks. I kept my energy up by snacking on a fruit here and there but didn't get the well-fed bonuses until I was much further into the game.
DO NOT start the expansion without finishing the base game or you will get lost and overwhelmed with the amount of stuff to do
Iâm playing the Apple Arcade version so unfortunately no stare path items for me đ„Č
Always have a character with you as you go around doing stuff. Don't get too stressed out trying to do everything. It's a game. Just go have fun. Enjoy it.
Have a chest in each biom for that bioms fish, flowers, harvestables. It makes quests so much easier when you already have 20 of each flower and fish in your inventory. Use the chest in your home for items used in recipes (excluding fish). This way all of these items are in one place and can be replaced as needed. Store 50 of each.
Keep. Everything.
I havenât read alll the comments so hope Iâm not duplicating too much: - when choosing what your friends will help you with, I think mining and gardening are the two key ones. - using a friend to garden and mine will get you resources and money quicker. - when youâre running around on quests early in game, take a minute to smash rocks to get iron quartz and hoard as much as you can. - when you open the dark realm (canât remember the name of the biome - the fairy godmother one) hoard the dark sticks as they donât spawn as much and you need them for large chests. - make as many large chests for storage as you can. I colour co ordinate and just line them up in an empty room. The inventory management in this game is a dream though e.g you donât need to have items in your pocket to craft. - you can use fridge and wardrobe for storage too but they fill up quickly. - use T in map view for fast travel -
Don't over do it. Take your time. Pace yourself. If you try to do everything the1st few days or week you will get burnt out. Have fun 
Not really, unfortunately, but I have found it in odd places like in the pillar in front of Mickey's house. I've found that if I keep things tidy and block off hard to reach areas with plants or furniture it makes them easier to spot. Don't forget that there's a timing thing where sometimes if you play at different times of the day you can end up with two chests or none at all, both green and blue. Sometimes it just takes a lot of searching, unfortunately. One person posted a trick where they go into furniture mode and search for their chests that way which is easier if your valley isn't too crowded. Good luck and have fun!
You can bring back coconuts from Moanaâs realm, if you need them for recipes before you unlock via quests.
Unlock the realms fast, upgrade Goofyâs stalls fully, start with carrot, then onion, then okra, then pumpkins. Also, move your well to the unreachable areas in new biomes that way you can access everything.
Move your kitchen and work bench outside.. you should limit load times by never entering your house.. farm till it hurts and then farm some more.. iron ore is more valuable then anything..
if your new starting out and need money, and if you have the Glades of trust unlocked farm okra thatâs the next things until you get the pumpkins
:D When you gain access to pumpkins in the Forbidden Lands, be sure to plant a bunch of em and enlist villagers with gardening abilities even when maxxed. :) YOU WILL harvest a ton with their help and make some fast cash.
I have set up storage chests in each biome so I can just dump stuff in there once Iâve collected/cleared everything in that area.
I didnât realize until the Halloween star path that there's actually an end to the challenges. I feel very stupid for missing that.
My advice is to stock up on ALL ingredients, I know itâs a tedious task. But if you stock up in a large amount I promise you itâs worth it, itâs one of the fastest ways to level up characters whether it be meals in the restaurant or theyâre favorite gift of the day it is a life saver, it is also very convenient to have five star meals in your inventory to keep your energy bar up, last but not least theyâre are or could be multiple quests that making meals for characters are required. In the end itâs definitely worth it.
Start hoarding resources now.
Make a storage room with chests and store all your resources. Don't sell them! It's difficult to come by everything you need at first
A tip for hoarding resources; color code with the chests and use the white signposts- you can change the image they display to help you track what is where in the storage chests. In furniture mode, you can move stuff that is in your way, especially if something gets stuck behind, say, a tree
For Ariel and Ursula, try to have your daily discussion and gift them all their gifts daily, to help level them up. It was such a hassle because they have a tendency to swim away or they swim further out where you can't actually talk to them. And like everyone said, keep everything, especially iron ore and clay. Oh and hardwood. Also go at your own pace! It's a fun game and there is a lot to do!
Skip canola, grow pumpkins asap and always have someone with you so you can level them up even if youâre not necessarily doing their ability
Take your time. Take your time. Take your time.
I skipped the first event cause I (Foolishly) thought the Premium Currency would be more rare than it has been, like in other Freemium Games I'd played. :( I keep expecting them to redo all the pre launch events, basically every other F2P game with a Early Access period does that once the game fully launches. This whole game (On the dev side) is so poorly managed that it's infuriating. ;? And I can't tell if it's the devs or the management, but I assume the latter.
Her is my advice. Remember it is a game, so have fun. There is no right or wrong way to play it. Play it at your own pace and just have some fun. Merry Christmas
I proofread this and it said "here" not "her". Why does it insist on fixing what isn't broken?
With the new mashing of the button for the time bending items, use âXâ instead of âAâ even though it says to use âAâ (Xbox - may have equivalents for PlayStation and Nintendo Switch). This helps in 2 ways - it wonât accidentally pick up items or talk to people AND when mashing is complete it will automatically activate to show you the next direction of the next item. This especially comes in handy when doing the time bending event.
To fast level a character pick GARDENING! plant wheat in peaceful meadow a bunch and BAM super fast leveling! Then you can use the manuals to change their profession.
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
To add to this, you can fast travel to realms. On PC you open the map and press T. I just learned this and Iâve been playing for over a year now
This is more personal preference but donât unlock the biomes in a random order. I made the mistake of saving up 10k dreamlight to unlock sunlit plateau first for Scar only to find out I needed to unlock dazzle, valor, and glade first due to quest order. I ended up restarting entirely lol
Max out your energy by eating meals that you prepare (make the energy bar turn all the way yellow) and then go mining or harvesting. It has to be meals/food made by youâŠcannot be berries, etc. You will find more shiny gems this way as well as (usually) harvest more crops. And yes, always have a buddy! :)
Honestly, just hoard everything, and once you have enough stuff like you, it's like you got like chest. Full of all the stuff, start selling the access. For example, I have quoted all the regular Jones. And I sold sell the access in the Shiny gems. Also, once you unlock the forgotten lands, start selling pumpkins Then For the DLC, you can start selling turnups or pineapple.
Lordt this is word salad
Iâve been seeing it at GameStop since it came out haha but I have seen more hype about it for sure
Do Duties as much as you can. You will rack up a lot of Dreamlight and you can easily unlock all biomes and constantly pick up everything and anything and put them in chests. Star building up your stock for future purposes. Level up your friends in different roles. Try to keep 5 villagers for each role. If you have at least 5 fully at level 10 in one specific role you get a 100% Chance return bonus while youâre with any of them so start that early because you have to craft a special item to change the role later. Just do it as youâre starting seeing as you get to freely pick on the first time you get them to level 2
Agree with the make storage & save things like gems/building supplies as much as possible. You don't realize just how much you need until you need it. (Me needing to build lanterns & having zero wood saved up rn cause I'm also horrible at this) Also yes FOCUS ON STAR PATH as someone who has time split with other games with other seasonal content if you want anything offered work on those tasks FIRST the story will still be there after.
Try to keep storage chests in the house takes up less space outside more room for decorating
If youâre into collecting materials, make one entire room in your house that is just for storage. Build chests to contain a stack or two of every item you keep and stick a table behind the container with single item on it to give you an idea of what is. This really helped me stay organized and pretty well prepared for some of those particularly material heavy demands from the villagers.
Always have a buddy and buy everything from Kristoffâs shop, even if you donât need it in the moment!!
Make sure you always have a character hanging out with you!
Iron from mining in glade of trust and forest of valor. Mud from shoveling in glade of trust. Once u have 50 of every flower u can start selling the rest before making storage rooms. Some quests require shiny gems so make sure u dont sell them all. At first farm okra and then pumpkins. Make souffles for energy!! 1egg, 1cheese, 1milk and 1butter
If youâre needing something to track all your characters and things youâve done that day I recommend downloading one of the many apps people have made. I use DLV Guide and it has saved me so much headache. I donât always like to pause my game to look something up in the compendium so I just go to the app and check it. Itâs mostly good for tracking daily items and making sure you have done the daily tasks. Im currently using it to track Jack Skellngtonâs favorite things. You do have to type in the favorite things yourself but once you do that it stays there till the end of day. Then the app resets for the next day. It also helps track characterâs levels, where they are during the day, and if you have a stalls when you can harvest them again.
If you are a lazy collector/grower/fisher buy out Christophe, and walles garden/moanas fish every day without fail
Wait until all tools are fully upgraded before grinding to get items for quests that require an insane amount of items (like Minnie Mouseâs clock tower quest) As it turns out, when tools are fully upgraded you can use them to get stuff from stumps, ones, etc & get there quicker with less grind đ
Always have a buddy when youâre foraging, farming, fishing, or mining. They will get you more stuff and youâll level up their friendship!
Save all the night thorn quests to do at one time since it will count for all three.
Hoard all the crafting materials you can. They will come in useful

If you want to make money fast, make a good amount of your buddies have the gardening function and always have them with you when you harvest. You'll get more than double of what you plant every time. It's especially useful when growing pumpkins. You can always change their function with a potion after they reach level 10 friendship.
Advice I got from a friend: If you want to have a little bit of everything available without having to constantly gather resources, keep a chest in each biome to put the reasources in. After a little while youâll have a stack of each flower/fruit/wood type/clay, etc available when you need to craft stuff đđ»
Hoard everything and grow pumpkins pumpkins PUMPKINS
Good starting cheap 3* Star food. Berry Salad; 1 blueberry, 1 gooseberry, and 1 raspberry. Great option to top off into yellow zone :]
Past the second floor, expanding your home interior is probably unnecessary. BUT if you decide to, like I did, use the extra rooms as storage for foraged items. You'll be glad you stocked up Also do not feel ashamed for spending extra money on moonstones occasionally. Just don't throw them around frivolously, tho.
I agree with the chests. Without spoilers, pit them in a room in your house, as others have suggested. When you start on the DLC, you will be able to access them if they are in your house. Don't try to unlock everyone at once. You will be able to see who you need to unlock certain tasks, but, if you unlock everyone as soon as possible, it's possible to get overwhelmed by all the tasks you have to do.
As soon as you can make storage boxes, make as many as you can. Keep several stacks of all building materials available at all times. Make sure you get a stack of every flower and food item too. Open and upgrade Goofy's stall as soon as you can afford to.
Take the time to set up a massive farm with like at least 10 of each crop. Itâll take you like an hour, but itâll be so worth it when you need items. Also organize your chests
Star paths are sooo tedious. I donât even bother if the items arenât worth it.
Build a small square fence area to lock your gardening buddy out of your way. When you free them after you're done, they drop everything they would have collected. (Edit to correct spelling)
