✨Disney DreamLight Valley✨

Yup...each sequential page makes you spend a certain number of the points on items from the previous page. It's pretty silly...but that's how it goes. I definitely ended up buying a bunch of stuff I had no interest in, just so I could get to the following page.


- Currently stuck on most of the quests. It feels like they made it WAY too hard to get some of the common items needed for crafting. Like...when I first encountered seaweed, I thought I would see it everywhere. Turns out, you need it to craft "fiber". Well...now I need it for this exact purpose...and there is absolutely none to be found. Seaweed should literally be all over the beach at ALL times. Not sure what is going on here. Lol.

Thank you for the info. @TalviSyreni posted that if you fish outside of the bubbles you get seaweed every time. I can't confirm but it's worth a try if you haven't already.

EDIT: i started playing tonight and i can confirm that fishing outside the bubbles does give you seaweed

It's been advised by the game creators not to time travel as thats not a desired feature for the game right now. Other gamers have reported time travelling (thinking it's like ACNH) and getting stuck and the only way to get unstuck is to sync the clock back to normal and just wait for the game to catch up with itself in real time.

This game is set to our real world clock like ac. Does anyone if changing that clock(not to tt in this game but if you did it to tt in ac say) and you forget to put back would that mess up your ddv game? I ask because i remember reading that if your clock was wrong when you went into cozy grove it could corrupt your game file. i do tt in ac sometimes and i would hate to mess up my ddv save file.

sorry that happened to you. i havent tried tting but i did have a weird thing happen. i got scrooge's shop open and when i tried to go inside for the first time a message came up that said something about the game having to close cause of some kind of issue. i didnt lose anything and it didnt happen again but it scared me for a sec.

Does anyone know what to do with the clumps of soil(besides sell them)?

I got one of the founders packs but I have yet to do any of the star paths. I'm keeping busy with clearing thorns, bringing new residents to the village, and accessing new biomes. From what I've seen, star paths are optional.

Whether that changes down the line, I can't say, but if that's your concern with the game, I wouldn't let it make or break playing.

They come in handy for crafting when you eventually unlock new biomes. I've stored most of mine away but I've also sold a few to keep myself well funded when I'm also selling crops and fish etc.

I did the Scrooge quest line that allows you to make upgrades to your house. I don't care about upgrading it now but I would like to get the boards off the windows. I did the first upgrade but the boards are still there. Anyone know which upgrade gets rid of them? Thanks

I had to upgrade twice via Scrooge to get rid of the boards off the windows, now I want the sign outside to go but I've heard you can have up to twelves room in your house so that'll be there for a while.

I also came across a great YouTube channel called Valley Spot the other day that has some great tips for anyone looking to make big money fast amongst other things to help progress your game play.

thank you! I was thinking another upgrade might do it. I'll definitely check out the channel. thanks again for all the help!

I've found that you can fish for seaweed without having to aim your rod at the ripples, you're guaranteed seaweed over fish and if you have Goofy hang out with you whilst doing it he'll give you an extra item of whatever you fish. I ended up fishing at least 10 seaweed last night which helped with a recipe I needed for another quest.

This helps a lot. I haven't tried it yet...but I take your word for it. Thanks so much!

I was waiting to comment here until I had played the game for a few days. I got it this Tuesday and bought the $69.99 pack. I haven’t bought an expensive video game in months, and I felt bad for a little while for fear I wouldn’t enjoy Dreamlight Valley enough to justify what I paid. I…love it. There are flaws and bugs, but that’s to be expected since it’s in its early stages. The graphics are so nice that I enjoy just watching my character run around in her pretty clothes. When I turn the camera at the right angle, I can even see the clasp of the necklace she’s wearing currently, which is pretty crazy. There’s plenty of grinding, so if you like to zoom through games this isn’t for you. I personally don’t mind it, and in fact find it kind of relaxing to put my brain on autopilot while I mine gems or pick berries. To sum it up: it’s New Horizons but Disney. You make friends with characters you invite to your village, cook food, craft items, and decorate your house/outside. There’s even the equivalent to Nook Miles that you earn in order to progress. Sure, it’s very in-your-face about “this is a Disney game”, but as a fan of the company it doesn’t really bother me. It’s very hard for me to find games that pull me in like Animal Crossing these days, but Dreamlight Valley is one of them.

You’re welcome, with this game being so new we need all the tips we can get from each other right now. I’ve found a tonne of them on the Dreamlight Valley Reddit page that have helped me out a lot.

okay, i'm definitely eyeing this, but the £25 feels a little steep to me for a game that'll be free to play in a few months and not worth the few freebies you seem to get. that being said, loath as i am to give disney my money, i'm impatient, so can someone give me a rundown of the basic things you can do? what's the character customization like? that's always the most important thing to me.

and how does it run on the switch/lite. i read a review saying the menus in particular are frustratingly laggy which is making me very apprehensive.

 

[stitchmaker]

This afternoon I bought it after seeing that the devs are active and patched problems. Looking forward to playing tonight.

The game is basically a mash up of The Sims, Stardew Valley and ACNH but with quests as the added bonus that unlocks new areas, characters and in game items. Sadly the game does have a lot more glitches on the Switch right now than it does on PC but Disney are aware and are currently working on patches, in fact the first patch release came out earlier this week which has made the game less glitchy on the Switch. For me I had lag when I entered the menu which has now completely gone and the game only crashes when in design mode, but thats easy to work around until the next patch update.

Other platforms such as Xbox and PS5 are also experiencing a few glitches as well but it's mainly down to the game being released early and I'm sure when it's available for free next year it will run pretty smoothly. Once that happens it's clearly going become a rival against other bigger farming/life simulation games as Disney has teased that this game will be gradually expanding for a long time to come to keep players invested. At the end of the day though it's up to you whether you buy it now or wait until it's free, but when you do decide to start playing it you'll get addicted to it pretty quickly as there's always a variety of things to do. You can either farm, fish, cook, design or go on quests depending on what you feel like doing during game play.

I bought the basic package and I don't regret it at all, as overall it's got a lot more going for it than ACNH when you consider we'll get no new updates until a new Animal Crossing game is released in the near future.

thanks for the detailed reply !! can you say what the character customization is like? so long as i can have actual ginger hair, that's lowkey all that matters to me lol. definitely interested in the wardrobe too though. i think i read somewhere on tumblr that that's largely where the micro-transactions come in which has me a little

there is a lot of character customization and you can make changes anytime you want. There aren't micro transactions really. There is an event called the star path. You are given quests to earn currency to buy items only available here. There is a free version where you get 3 tasks at a time and have access to limited amount of the items. The real money comes in if you do the premium path. You buy the premium currency,moonstones, with real money. It takes 2,500 to open the premium version(or 4,100 and you can 100 event currency free) and you get 6 tasks at a time. You dont have to do the event at all or you can just do the free version. The 3 editions of dreamlight valley(standard,deluxe and ultimate) each come with some moonstones(the more expensive edition the more moonstones) as well as furniture,clothes and motifs and each pack comes with all the items from the cheaper pack or packs. So the standard pack is $30 and comes with 8,000 moonstones. Deluxe pack is $50 and has 14,500 moonstones and all the items that are in the standard pack. The ultimate pack is $70 and comes with 20,000 moonstones and all items from the previous 2 packs. Moonstones can be obtained in game but are rare and you only get 10 per drop. You can also get some from the star path. They are not purchasable yet but that will happen. So right now the best way to get them is via the founders packs. I bought the ultimate pack cause I wanted to start off with a lot of moonstones and I figured if ill have to buy them later anyway might as well get them now and get some other stuff with it. This game is a lot of fun and i'm not rushing it, i'm in the starting area and taking my time.

The character customisation is really good and inclusive as well, more so than ACNH. You can have any hair colour you want and they also have a range of body types as well as headscarf’s. Plus you can buy more hairstyles with the in game currency once you get Scrooge McDuck’s shop up and running and you unlock more as you progress in the game as well.

I’ve never heard of paying for hairstyles with micro transactions. The game package you buy will give you extra items but aside from that everyone’s game is the same. Also with future updates coming they’ll be so much to unlock the various game packages will probably become insignificant.
