20 Tips For Beginners In Disney Dreamlight Valley

[@BadgerOff32]

One of the biggest tips I can offer is - build chests to store stuff in. You can build a chest at a crafting table using 25 stone and 25 wood. Each chest only has a limited amount of space, but it seems as though you can build as many of them as you want. You can also place them ANYWHERE, inside or outside your home. I often place some next to my farm to store all my seeds in so I'm not carrying them all around with me in my inventory. The other nice thing is, no matter how many chests you have or where they are placed, they ALL link to your crafting and cooking stations, so if you have a box filled with apples on the other side of the village, they will still appear in your cooking menu, wherever you are. Seriously, just store everything in chests. I've got one for everything. One for fish, one for vegetables, one for fruit, gems, ores/stone, seeds, mission items I can't use right now....everything has it's own box

[@carawestgate]

Thanks for this! I love that they linked inventories.

[@cinemaburn-realtalk]

They should add a tagging system or something, for chests, in the future. I often forget which chest is the fish one, which is the gems, and so on.

[@carawestgate]

@@cinemaburn-realtalk I wish they had that too. For now I've got tables behind my chests with the items dropped then moved onto them.

[@myturn2play774]

Opss for crafting you need the items on you. But for cooking, they'll grab it from your chest/storage box

[@cinemaburn-realtalk]

@@myturn2play774 even for crafting it takes it from the chests as well. You need them on you when you give a quest and they ask for items. And one tip, if the characters ask you for something that you already have but they ask you to pick them up again, just put the items on you, drop them, pick them up, and they will be happy

[@grey3414]

While on the map, you can also click on the character you wanted to find and then magical sparkles will lead you to that character. I find that very useful. 👍👍

Great tip!!

[@anitaacda6900]

Yes i love that!

[@flatsamiscool]

Thanks. I should've thought of that, but instead, I've looked everywhere for certain characters and what's weird is the amount of times I'll go to their house and they aren't in there, but then they're right outside their house once I leave.

One of the best tips I can give any new players is when you open up new areas you’ll notice that half of the zone is cut off due to a tool upgrade. We’ll an easy way around this is to fix a well don’t matter what one then go to edit and move the well to the other side of the blockade then just fast travel, you’ll need to fast travel back out but you just skipped one of the biggest challenges starting off

[@mrdarkmagic8437]

For those that find the dreamlight quests overwhelming, focus on the daily duties. They infinitely refill and constantly rotate and give you a bunch of dreamlight for how easy the quest is. The other quests are more meant as milestones and you should unlock most of them as you play but you shouldn't focus on them if you need a bunch of dreamlight, since they get very hard and don't even give you that much dreamlight!

[@GrunkleMary]

It's Stardew Valley + Minecraft + Animal Crossing with a story setting like Epic Mickey 2 & Kingdom Hearts. It's cute, fun, and relaxing. It's all about customization, fetch & chore quests, and interacting with Disney characters. It's BUGGY on Xbox, but it is a lot of fun! It's nice to have a non-punishing game. Also, you don't have to pay-to-play. Any paid stuff is purely cosmetic. Filling up your stamina bar is EASY and you can play all day....or in my case, all night XD

[@animalmad29]

Hey! Don’t know if this helps but I was stuck too. 1) Animals can’t be fed all the time, once they’re hungry again you can feed them. 2) If it’s the garnet you’re stuck on, they do reappear so just do other quests before looking for them again. They’re red rocks :)

[@Manlygenius101]

Find a rabbit during the wall e quest. Follow the rabbit 3 to 4 cycles of it running away. Give the rabbit a carrot. Boom, quest done

I think you can only feed an animal once every day. If you’re like me, and the option to interact with them isn’t appearing. (If you’re playing on pc) update your driver and restart before playing again or delete your steam cache. Be aware this will get rid of any mods you have on games so don’t forget that if you try that option. Also I got stuck with Wall E because I collected the stuff but then didn’t have it in my storage when I tried to complete the task. Make sure you have all the stuff you collected on you when trying to complete a quest 😊

I managed to do it. I just had to wait for a few minutes before I could feed a squirrel 😀
