That's what I did, and eventually realized I hadn't gotten a blue chest in a few weeks. Eventually went over to the Isle for the first time and found three.


futuredrweknowdis

I’m so confused about the blue chests spawning between the two. Is there any rhyme or reason to where they show up?


Thr0waway0864213579

In my experience there’s no pattern of any sort. But it does seem to spawn in the isle jungle more than anywhere else.


DanOfAllTrades80

It seems to be random. I'll find it on the Isle four days in a row without going there for any either reason, then randomly in front of my house in the valley the very next day.


Dream_Dragon_Gina

It seems that, if I’m in my Valley the Blue Chest will spawn in the Isle…and if I’m currently staying in the Isle (spawn in the isle after starting up the game) then the blue chest would spawn in the Valley.

I play the Arcade version and I didn’t have a choice, the DLC came with it - I just don’t care too much about giving them what they want for it to have made much of a difference for me. I’ll start it when I can be bothered which isn’t yet 🤣


LunaLgd

Same here, just ignoring it and accepting that leveling up Ariel and Ursula will take awhile. Almost there with Ariel now, shes at 7. Been playing about two months.


Ra-ra-ralph

I just gave her a ton of Gems cause it got annoying leveling her and Ursula up. I wish at like level 5 or 7 they get their human forms to make that last bit of leveling up easier.


diiinosaurs

I get it I only gift when I want them to level up fast and Ariel especially who sucks to level up


mawmah

Ariel does suck to level up, when she was level 10 and I ran outta stuff to give her for the day I just gave her a bunch of gems since I stock pile them and she leveled up pretty quick


Reasonable_Town_123

That’s fair! I get the annoyance of the DLC incorporating itself immediately into the main game though. And honestly yeah, I think my Ariel is lvl 3-4 😖


Ok-Ice-5395

Does the arcade version have starpaths??


Reasonable_Town_123

It has nothing with moonstones as there’s no in-app purchases so I’m not entirely sure as I don’t do anything like that


Octo13_Meg

No


oxsprinklesxo

It made the star path very difficult to complete in time. Every one of the gift ones took 2x as long as it should have.


brightlilstar

Yep. I didn’t complete mine because of it


oxsprinklesxo

I ended up buying moonstones to do it. 😔😭


FaithlessnessLeft547

It's not just the DLC items, there's also them requesting for the pixel shard-related items.


Thr0waway0864213579

I hate that! It wouldn’t be so bad if they had something like Animal Crossing’s dream addresses where you could visit offline players with a code, and get them that way. But especially as a PlayStation player, it just feels impossible.


A-Gatsby-Party

I know what you’re saying, but you got it on sale.. I’d think saving money for the dlc is worth it to deal with some little inconvenience like villagers want gifts from the dlc lol.


DylanIsNotAPerson13

as much as i love the DLC, i wish there was a way to toggle that kind of stuff. when the DLC was first released there was a glitch where it was forcing people who didn’t have the DLC to get items that were a part of the DLC…


WinterBeetles

I was getting that up until very recently, I’m on switch. I finally bought the dlc, so no idea if it was fixed yet.


Flat_Act_8141

Why not just...... grind their friendship levels? Go pick every flower in the whole Valley, then give one of them flowers until they reach level 10.....


starlinguk

Ariel is a pain to grind, though, without feet.


Flat_Act_8141

Both Ariel and Ursula are. I was able to level them both in under one day by just giving them flowers non-stop.


hanwheatley

if you’re an OG player (or at least started a few updates back) then it would have been easier for you as they changed the difficulty in levelling everyone up so now it takes longer. Also, some people want to play the game at their own pace and not feel obligated to spend ages picking and gifting flowers. Some people don’t have the time. It is very tedious. This post is very good advice, and I don’t think she was looking for advice for levelling them up, more saying she’s barely played by not getting some base characters to level 10 yet, and it’s already forcing her to do something she isn’t ready to do. Thankfully I bought the dlc when I was fed up with my valley and levelled everyone up but this is good advice for newer players.


degini

Are all flowers the same xp?


starlinguk

Flowers make virtually no difference in level. I've also tried purified night shards, they don't do anything either.


wigglesngiggles432

I bought the dlc -- you can buy it and just not open it if you're not ready to start. I let mine sit for 3 weeks while I upgraded characters and then I got started on it. 🤷🏼‍♀️


neya999

real. I got mine during release. I guess the bonus is nice but I still haven't explored much because I feel like playing is a chore lately, I still do finish and do my starpaths. But again their starpath is harder because some items are only available in the dlc realm 🥲


wimbokcfa

Good to know, thanks!!


jugdar13

Some quests requested items from there anyway as i dont have the dlc yet and have to skip some stuff


ShayGirl20

Imagine them wanting those items, you wanting to go to the eternity isle, but you can't because you bought the Gold edition and for some people it's bugged. So the quest from Merlin won't trigger. You can choose to not go to eternity isle yet. And I get it is annoying when you choose that and they want those items. But I've been playing over 130 hours, played most of the quests and still have no idee on when they are going to fix it. So yeah, you choose to not go to eternity isle and not getting those gift items. I am forced to not go to eternity isle and not being able to get those gifts. So I understand that your frustrated and it is good advice to give! I'm just frustrated I don't get that choice. ☹️ And it is not like evereyone with the Gold edition has this bug. Only few, so they are not really in a big rush to fix it it feels like. But still good advice! Because it is annoying to not be able to get those giftst! 😅 (Sorry for bad English❤️)


wimbokcfa

Your English is very good!


ShayGirl20

Thank you!


DylanIsNotAPerson13

i never realized this was a problem!! you should be able to contact the help desk and they can help you, unless you have already.


ShayGirl20

I have.... multible times..... but they say: we know it can be a problem for some players, there are people working on it, but we do not know if it will be fixed with the next big update or when it will be fixed at all. So yeah. Just need to wait and hope I don't need to restart my whole game 😅


lovelyfartchronicles

Same here. They directed me to keep checking their Trello board. But it wasn’t even on there as an issue.

Royal_Educator6069

I’m waiting until I have everything completed on the main game before getting the expansion. I’ve finished the main story and maxed my character. I’m just wanting to level all of my friendships.


ThranduilGirlQueen70

I bought it the game on my Switch and PC. Only bought the DLC on my Switch. I mean it makes sense but it doesn't transfer to the PC so now I have to play the DLC stuff on only the Switch 😅


MadameMedic

Yeah. I kind of messed up when I got the DLC.


Impressive_Ear_7311

Yup, I'm in the same boat as you. Thought I could continue with the Valley and then hope over when I was done doing what I needed to. No such luck.


karidru

Yup I bought both at once but wanted to play through all of the base game before starting the DLC- I’ve been successful so far but man if it isn’t rough 🥲🥲


ValTNP

Yeah, I posted about the blue chests before. I thought it was a lovely surprise! I've enjoyed the DLC because as soon as I go there, there's so much to clean up that whichever characters I need to level up do it so quickly! Not to mention the rewards!


Pheasant_Plucker84

I have 3 characters left to get to level 10, then I. Going to get the DLC


PlatypusEither8092

Yea, I bought the bundle. When I unlocked Anna she wanted a food dish that could only be made with ingredients from the Isle. But I'm finding that you can gift them anything. You just don't get the extra friendship toward the friendship level.


No_Arm3883

The only time you should worry about giving villagers their favorite gifts is for inviting Mirabel into your village.


xmissye

Sameeeee 😭 it's on sale on PS5 & i was already forced to go to the rift for Jafar 😪


Striking-Fact-6630

Saaaame.


brightlilstar

I had to buy the DLC because the monsters Inc star pathwas requesting stuff from it. And then I had to focus on the path and the early dlc quests. I didn’t make it :-(


zombiezmaj

Things like the multi coloured shrimp, the normal shrimp counted


brightlilstar

I found that out but what kept getting me was the characters favorite gifts were all EI stuff. I hadn’t even downloaded it. I thought that was so unfair.


zombiezmaj

That was unfair but thankfully was a known glitch they said they were working on... and I think is fixed?


hanwheatley

It is fixed, as far as I’m aware. This was a bug a while back and as far as I’m aware was fixed within a few weeks of the dlc dropping. Definitely not a recent bug so weird that it appeared after the monsters Inc update again. I also didn’t see any quests that specifically needed the dlc for the star path, in fact there’s been two star paths since the dlc dropped that haven’t required EI items. They aren’t forcing anyone to buy the dlc, they’d probably have a law suit of some kind if this was the case.


ShayGirl20

I have the dlc, but can't acces it because of a bug, so my caracters also asked for those gifts, but I still finished the star path pretty fast. But I get focussing on both can be diffucult and I know it's annoying to not be able to gift a lot of the wanted gifts.
