[@katymcduk]

Just tried this and I managed to get 151 Iron Ore in 30 minutes. A huuuuge thank you for this as Iron has always been a bane of my dreamlife!!!

[@Probably_Senpai]

It's a real grind! For what I have planned I'm going to need SO much! This has made is seem possible! I'm happy it helped and you'll definitely be able to get more than that on average!

[@veebelle87]

The amount of effort to prepare this must've been intense. Awesome job, Senpai!

[@Probably_Senpai]

Thanks, Vanessa! It was definitely intense, but having all of you to talk to and bounce ideas off of made it fun!

[@th3n3wk1dd]

Subscribed! I am about 500 hours into the game and anyone that is data driven deserves a sub in my book!

[@Probably_Senpai]

We're around the same playtime then! That's awesome! Thank you so much for the sub. I'm planning a lot for youtube this year and hoping to become a more self-sufficient content creator by doing so. The sub and the comment help a tremendous amount!

[@Zyantastic]

i personally use berry salad with an additional gooseberry and a cherry. only requires harvestable fruits :3

[@Probably_Senpai]

Berry salad is the most popular option! I still prefer my pastry cream and fruit though. Just as easy to make considering sugarcane grows in about 2 minutes.

[@victoriablanc761]

this video changed the way I mine in the game. while I don't do exactly what he did, I now do the glade, then the meadow, then the glade then the plaza, then the glade etc. You get the picture. And it has given me several chests full of iron. ty ty for this information. and we all appreciate the effort that went into this.

[@Probably_Senpai]

@victoriablanc761 Thank you for the kind words, Victoria! I'm happy you found a mining approach that works well for you, and I'm glad you found some of the information here helpful! Best wishes on creating your dream valley! Cheers!

[@KristinStahl-o9z]

You're doing the Lord's work. Seriously. I had a mission that needs 30 ignots and this method helped me get it. Thank you very much.

[@Probably_Senpai]

You're very welcome! I made this tutorial a while back, and it's still standing as one of the best methods! I have an updated mining video coming out soon with some very helpful tips! I hope you'll enjoy that one as well! Cheers!

[@emi_fae]

I love this. Its a perfect layout to just mindlessly mine while watching videos or something and then I can actually craft the stuff I need. Perfect thank you 🤩

[@kristinstevanus3542]

Can't wait to give it a shot. Gives me some motivation to get back to collecting materials before the next update :)

[@Probably_Senpai]

We're supposed to get some new decor this year! Hoping for some new craftables! For now I just want to upgrade all my fencing! 😅

[@jennie5468]

This is amazing! I can’t even imagine the amount of effort this took! Thank you!

[@Probably_Senpai]

Thank you so much! It certainly took a lot of time, trial and error, and editing but I was super excited to uncover such an efficient method. I believe it can really help a lot of players! 😁

[@nejardin1217]

Idk if it matters but I did the mine run and it took me 2.5 minutes and I got 11 pieces of iron as well as a few gems, vitalys crystals, rocks and ore. Your method has been a huge help, I just wanted to test out the mine as well

[@Probably_Senpai]

Adding the mines to the route is fine if you want more vitalys crystals, rubies, or saphrlires! I tested this route with the mine, too! You get slightly less iron per minute by adding the mines to this route, but it's worth it if you need vitalys! I'm very happy to hear you found the video helpful! Cheers! 😁

[@michelles.7804]

My endless mining days are over!!!! AMAZING JOB!!! Thank you! :)

[@Probably_Senpai]

It works even better now after update 4! If you're "well fed" you have an increased chance for critical circumstances (the event where there's a burst of red items for a limited time) Game changer! Glad you found it helpful Michelle! Cheers!

[@warzshadow9701]

Man, thats awesomesauce! I just wiped out all my iron crafting Minnies clock she wanted, will definitely give this a jolly try!

[@Probably_Senpai]

Thanks, Warz! I made this video months ago, and it still stands true as the best route for gathering iron! It's helped me and many others to craft the best fencing and other items. I'm glad you found the video, and I hope you enjoy all the other content my channel has to offer. I'm currently working on a new and improved mining video as well! It should be ready by this weekend! Cheers! 🥰

[@pinkgirl4000]

OMG this is the best! I absolutely hated mining for iron ore because it took so goddamn long! Now I can get about 40 ore via one circuit of the map!

[@Probably_Senpai]

It's definitely a game changer!

[@angelizayala2823]

Great job on putting this together. I’m moving things around to do my first run and I want my valley to look as great as yours!👍🏽❤️ Thank your time and all that you do.

[@Probably_Senpai]

Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to comment! The grind for materials is real! I love making videos like this! Working on a darkwood one for later this week! 😁

[@tiffanyk8922]

Liked, Subscribed and saved the video for future reference. Amazing job! Thank you for making this.

[@Probably_Senpai]

Thank you SO much Tiffany! I hope you find joy, entertainment, and value in the content on my channel!

[@rhianashae]

omg i accidentally built a crafting table and wasted so much iron i almost cried!!! so i found this video and cant wait to try it out tonight!

[@ingemlb]

Thank you for this! Tried it out today and works fantastic. Finally can imagine crafting without running out of iron lol

[@Probably_Senpai]

You're very welcome! I think the DDLV community has needed a video like this for a while! I've been trying to save up for a lot of fencing, and I'm going to need over 2000 ingots! Thanks to this method, I'm already almost halfway there! My previous method was decent, but discovering this technique was a game changer! I am very happy to hear this method has helped you, too!

[@destineecurry6048]

Here because a friend showed me your video. You’ve gained a new follower thank you for this amazing video.

[@Probably_Senpai]

Thank you so much destiny! I hope you enjoy the content here!

[@SageAndWildflowers]

Thank you so much, it was such a pain before. One or two ingots at a time, maybe 5 if I tried hard enough. Only to have it vanish the next second because I need it for my builds.. 😅 Even if I take my time during a round, playing Scramblecoin in between or whatever, it's still way better than before. Thanks 🙏 I didn't time it but got around 90 for walking the route 3 times with getting somewhat distracted now and then.

[@Probably_Senpai]

@@SageAndWildflowers that's great to hear! The iron grind can be a real struggle at times! I'm glad the video was helpful. Have a great day!

[@hannahhester8376]

Your world is GORGEOUS!

[@Probably_Senpai]

Thank you Hannah! I still have a lot of work to do but I have 3 of my biome tours on KZbin!

[@jess5387]

This is brilliant! Collecting iron is such a pain! I knew there had to be an easier way, I just didn't know how to even go about finding it. I set my wells and followed the path you demonstrated, worked like a charm. I'm swimming in iron now!

[@Probably_Senpai]

I'm happy to hear this, Jessica! The iron grind is real! The time required to gather necessary resources is one of the ways the dev team keeps us involved. Even with this method, it still takes a while to gather an abundance of iron, but it is a lot more efficient than traditional routes! I'm happy to hear you found it helpful! Cheers!

[@valesri]

I loooooved this. Appreciate it immensely. I´ve been playing dreamlight valley on switch, and i´m completely addicted. You just made my life easier. Thank you so much. Greetings from Colombia!

[@Probably_Senpai]

Helo Valentina! I'm very happy to hear you found the video helpful! Dreamlight Valley certainly is a fun and addicting game! It's wonderful! Best of luck bringing in all the iron! Cheers!

[@ayasinx8797]

You're a genius. I can't believe how amazing this method is. I also can't believe I only just found you now. Insta sub, your videos are the most helpful on KZbin. Thanks!

[@Probably_Senpai]

Thank you SO much Aya! I'm fairly new to the KZbin game, so I'm pretty small! I'm growing quickly thanks to people like you who appreciate my content! I have some exciting new videos planned for this coming week too! Hope you enjoy them! Cheers!

[@rebeccacarlson868]

Dude!!! You killed it on this video!!!!! Sooooo sharing this to everyone I can!!!

[@jenk704]

This works SO well, I have saved myself hours of grinding thanks to this method ! Thank you.

[@Probably_Senpai]

It really is a game changer! The amount of time we have to spend mining iron can be staggering! Now we can all work on creating the valleys we want without mining for 200 hours haha! Very happy you enjoyed the video!

[@florrrina]

thank you so much for this. also, i love the voice you do for these videos, lmao. you would do such a good job voice acting animated characters in disney and pixar films.

[@Probably_Senpai]

Omg thanks! I've been hearing this SO much lately! Really, ever since I started regularly uploading to KZbin! I really appreciate it! Maybe Pixar will come find me with an offer one day! I'd love to do voice acting! 😁

[@Lindsay-Makes-Videos]

Sending buckets upon buckets of love for you for everything about this video, the research, the quality of the edit and the voiceover, the building inspiration, just 5 out of 5. Ten out of ten. 100 out of 100. Basically I worship you. 😂😂 Liked and subbed.

[@Probably_Senpai]

Thank you SO much! Not only for the like & sub but also for the incredibly kind words! Comments like this encourage me to continue pursuing my KZbin journey!

[@Lindsay-Makes-Videos]

@@Probably_Senpai Absolutely no problem. Making videos has been my only paying job since 2012 yet I get tired thinking about the time it would take to do what you do 😂😂 I've wanted to make videos like this about Fallout for years but I'm like mehhh I'm tired 😂😂 I guess it's true what they say - something happens in your brain when it becomes "Work" right?

[@Probably_Senpai]

@@Lindsay-Makes-Videos Wow! You've been making videos for quite some time! I've only been a full-time content creator for about 3 years. Though, most of my career has been focused on live video broadcasts. I started streaming in January 2020 and became partnered with the Facebook Gaming Platform near the end of that year. Things went great for a while, but content has shifted and changed so much in such a short time! The rise of short form video really transformed the space, and live-stream discoverability isn't what it used to be. With Facebook being my primary platform, the amount of layoffs, the loss of users on FB, and FB discontinuing their Gaming app and Gaming tab, it all pushed me completely change my approach near the end of last year. Fortunately, I've built up a lot of experience editing and creating gaming content. I've only been uploading to KZbin consistently for a couple of months, and I've been so thankful for the way my content has been received. I have a long way to go before my career can make a meaningful and stable transition, but comments like yours really help me believe I'm on the right path. 🥹 Also, I LOVE Fallout. My two favorite genres in all of Gaming are Life Sims (ACNH, Dreamlight Valley, The Sims) and Survival (Fallout, Raft, 7 Days to Die, Grounded, ect.) I think it's because both allow me to be creative and I find it easy to hyperfocus on games that allow that.

[@Lindsay-Makes-Videos]

@@Probably_Senpai SO much relatable stuff in this comment. "content has shifted and changed so much in such a short time" Ain't that the gd truth! There was a time when KZbin was the center of my universe, and it's still my favorite format, but I get zero traffic here, but I'm soaring on TikTok. Meanwhile, my friend's TikTok performance has tanked, and she's taking off on Instagram. 🤣🤣 As soon as we learn the rules and catch a rhythm, it changes. These days I focus entirely on making the content I want to make and posting it where I want to post it, for that reason. If I play to any trends or hot tips they'll eventually fail anyway. 🤣🤣 So funny you mentioned Grounded! A friend of mine recommended it to me and then when I looked it up I found out it was made by Obsidian!! (original creators of Fallout!) 🤣🤣 And I'm with you, I like games like these because I'm a control freak, I don't like when games tell me what to do. Even in DDV sometimes I'm like, leave me alone Donald Duck, I'm trying to mine some damn iron ore, go whine to Scrooge yourself. 😂😂

[@ThatHuskyGirl]

Here! Finally! Sorry took me so long! Ahhhh ahhhh

[@wolfdancerorkity6972]

thank you so much for this video i found you on twitch yesterday and i plan to try this in a few mins when im done cooking

[@Probably_Senpai]

I use this method every chance I get! If it wasn't for the work that went into this video I'd probably still be farming iron for my Forest of Valor build. Though, now I'm done with that and I'm sitting on over 1000 iron ingots ahead of the approaching update! I was going to spend them on my Glade build but I think I'll wait and see what the update has in store first!

[@wolfdancerorkity6972]

@@Probably_Senpai Yeah im working on my potatoes then its back to the grind for iron and clay your vids are helpful thank you

[@sagelovescoffee]

I'm hitting an iron mining exhaustion level and this video popped up on my feed just now! Thank u!!!!!

You are da man. First time I got 185 in 30 min.

[@Probably_Senpai]

Lets go! Nice first run!

[@mel392]

i just did 5 runs with your method and i got 160 iron and 152 gold nuggets and a whole bunch of gems!!! im definitly going to be doing this for now on when i need more!!

[@luv2stnt]

Amazing work on this video and my daughter and I have alot of work to do before we are able to use this method! Thanks for sending me this link, we just finished it and my daughters jaw dropped when she saw your Valley!

[@GirardiMomma2]

Yay!!! Second watch through for me!! Sorry I couldn’t comment last night. It has been a rough one 😢 (sick kiddo). It has been so much fun watching you make this content for not only yourself, but your friends and the world!! I am excited for what’s to come my friend!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@smoressmores7960]

Loving this game but the glitches for the iron was driving me crazy!! Thank you for your dedication to making it fun again! Definitely subscribed and a new fan😊

[@Probably_Senpai]

Thank you so much, Chrisy! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the video, and I look forward to sharing more content with you! 😁

[@CeciliaNorthWriter]

The level of dedication

[@Probably_Senpai]

I. NEED. THAT. IRON. 😅

[@shinakohana]

I'll have to give it a shot... Usually I go into the mine in Sunlit Plateau to get my iron and just do rounds in a certain path, too.

[@Probably_Senpai]

I mention the downside of the mines in the video! They're great for vitalys crystals and rare minerals but not the best for iron! The Glade of Trust and Forest of Valor drop over triple the amount of iron that the mines drop on average! Regular paths are what we've all been doing since launch for the most part! This method is unique because it focuses on maximizing your mining potential in 5 minute intervals before returning to the most iron rich biome! This yields nearly double what any regular route could offer you! 200 iron ore within 30 minutes can be achieved no other way that I'm aware of, and I'm patiently waiting to be proven wrong on this! I can 100% garauntee this method is best for gathering iron so long as it is followed properly! That said, hitting the mines in Sunlit plateau does have one really, really good benefit! You can finish the dreamlight tasks for rubies and sapphire! Personally, I want to finish ALL of my dreanlight tasks so I spend a good bit of time in the mines as well. Though, when it's iron I want, I focus on the above method!

[@dragoknitter1394]

I do a route in the Vitalys Mines starting with the rock spot across the wooden bridge from the cooking station. When I get to the last rock spot in the route, the exit is right there!

[@FeedMeCoffee]

Dude, u did your homework (and ours too, thanks)! Love the added routes: Forgotten for diamonds, or skip Frosted and add caves. And you still made it around when they respawned every 5 mins.

[@Probably_Senpai]

Thank you @feedmecoffe Honestly I was just committed to finding a better way not just for me but for all of us! Iron can be a real pain! As far as the additional routes I just wanted to make the method flexible and suibtable for a wide variety of needs because I recognize how often those needs change in this game!

[@Tiffany_aka_CeissaDesiste]

This is a great method! I just used it and was able to get 179 iron ore in my first try. I just need to get the pacing down a little better to make the run go more smoothly! You make great content for us DDV players. Thank you so much!!

[@Probably_Senpai]

That's an awesome first run! I'm planning on re-testing this again with our new features! Faster movement speed from the gliding and the increased chances for "critical" events when "well fed" could push the numbers even higher! Thank you so much for the kind words, Tiff! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! Cheers!

[@fridaynightpuzzlingwithahi402]

Thank you for this video. It worked soooo well 😊😊

[@ms_polished26]

[@Probably_Senpai]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful! I made this video over 6 months ago, and it's still holding strong as a great method for gaining iron! I still have so much even after finishing all my fences and crafting objectives! Now I've shifted my focus to Eternity Isle, and I'll be doing a video on that soon! 😁

[@Probably_Senpai]

Thank you, Rosie! Welcome to the community! Also, along with the DLC we saw a huge buff on the mining potion!

[@Probably_Senpai]

Thanks, brother! I've been putting a ton of effort into KZbin lately! It's a huge goal for me in 2023! I enjoy editing and over the years I've grown so much in regards to doing it. Pretty soon I'll be starting a "100 Days Survival" series where I play survival games like Raft, 7 Days, Grounded, ect for 100 in game days. Then I'll make a 1 hour movie of the gaming experience/story! Only downside is that each one of those videos will probably take a month or more to release due to the amount of game time required!

[@MisTikkalRosy]

Well done! and thanks for sharing. I NEED this!

[@dreamysunshine]

Hello Senpai, I came by this channel through a friend of mine in facebook. She recommend you, cause i was struggling to get iron in fact. I will try you method very soon and I will see if it works. I will be watching more of your content as well. You are making it easy and tell a step by step on what do do, Which i like. Most people just make a walk through and that is sometimes hard to do tasks you wanna do. :) You will have probably a new subscriber soon 😁

[@Probably_Senpai]

Thank you Dreamysunshine! I'm happy to hear you enjoy the content on my channel! The walk-through videos made by many other creators allow them to post a lot more often, but my videos are typically scripted and heavily edited, leading to me posting less often than they do! However, comments like this are exactly why I take the approach I do! It takes more time, but it can be very helpful and even entertaining in a way! I hope you decide to join our community and subscribe in the future! I'll keep doing my part to post the best content I can! It was nice meeting you! Cheers!

1:42 wtf?!?!?! ur valley looks incredible how did u do that with all the lights omg

[@Probably_Senpai]

Hey! Thanks Void! It's a mix of lights and bioluminescent plants from the Moana collection! I discuss some of these items in my Dazzle Beach video! The big item in the center is the DJ booth which costs a ridiculous amount of iron! 😅 Since it's all in the Forgotten Lands it really pops!

[@griffithfemto]

Great video! And your valley looks really nice!

[@Probably_Senpai]

Thank you so much! I have a few videos of my biomes being toured! Feel free to check them out! Also... Griffith is terrifying. Remind me to never get on your bad side. 😅

[@jmware2004]

It’s a good method but I do enjoy running back and forth between bioms specially since I forget about the wells lol

[@Probably_Senpai]

Fair enough! I do too! Especially when I'm just chilling and talking to chat. Though, sometimes when I'm saving up for something expensive (like 1000 ingots worth of iron fencing 😅) it comes in handy! Using the Wells nets you about 50%-60% more iron on average.

[@Nirax3]

Also if you made the bad decision to buy the game for Nintendo Switch, wells are kind of useless unless you're fast traveling a great distance because A) the loading time is pretty bad and B) it can also make your game crash, meaning you'll not only possibly lose gathered materials but you'll also have to restart the game which can take several minutes. Siiiiigghhh... I can't wait for free2play to start so I can make use of cross progression without paying the same price again...

[@Probably_Senpai]

@Nirax Actually, several of my community members play on Switch and are very fond of this method! It's unfortunate you're having those issues, though. I have a first-generation switch myself, and it is quite a problem. My friend Alexandra said she's regularly getting 160-180 on Switch within 30 minutes. 😁

[@Beatinglikeahammerr]

This was great and super informative! My only caveat is that the background music was so loud it was uncomfortable for me to watch with the sound on! Thank you though, can’t wait to use your method (:

[@Probably_Senpai]

If you listen at 25% volume, my voice is loud and clear, and the music is barely audible. (That's with professional equipment) I will say that the music AND the dialogue are of a higher decibal than normal videos, so if you are listening with headphones at 100%, it will be way too much. If you lower your volume, you should hardly hear the music compared to my voice. (When mastering the audio, I made my dialogue 2x louder than the music) The dialogue was intentionally recorded at very high decibel so that those who are hard of hearing can still make out the dialogue. Now, of course, that means the dialogue and music are VERY loud when at 75%-100%, but the easy fix is to just turn it down until it's at a comfortable level. So, in closing, I did this for accessibility reasons because I actually know a few players who are hard of hearing! If it's an inconvenience to you, I do apologize! Best of luck with the iron farming!

[@sonic-bb]

This is the most entertaining dreamlight valley video I've seen so far xD Ur amazing man Also is ur character inspired by captain hook from Once upon a Time?

[@Probably_Senpai]

Thanks! To answer your questuon, no I just tried to make him similar to me. The V-neck shirt is because I almost always where V-necks or open button downs. I have hand tattoos hince the gloves (we can't apply tattoos so I covered his hands) and the necklaces and patterns in the deep neck of the shirt are there because I have a chest tattoo that goes over my colar bones. Glasses and all that too.

[@Jasminedabs]

Btw. This is great! Have you thought of a method for wood? I was thinking of focusing my trees in each biome near my well and seeing if I could maximize collection there too.

[@Probably_Senpai]

Yeah! I've already achieved a pretty easy method for this, but it's really simple and would be a super short video! Essentially, as long as you have at least 4 trees, you still get the maximum amount of wood. If you put all 4 together near the well, you can easily jump in and collect. Though, it would take a while to respawn, so you'll only need to come back every half hour or so.

Thanks so much for all your hard work on this! It works amazingly well and love the different options. I want to complete the sapphire task & don't need more gold. So I hit the mines after the forest. Each try I got a bit farther along as I got used to it. Though I kept forgetting to use the well within the Glade!

[@Probably_Senpai]

That's okay! That's probably the least important well as it only saves you a few seconds at best! The others are far more important! I still need to complete my tasks for sapphire and rubies! I'm close now but I definitely don't spend enough time in the mines! Very happy you found it helpful!

[@allysonhilario]

Just watched this again and got my week ready cause I'm ready to do this again with your stream! (HUGZtheDRAGON)

[@Probably_Senpai]

Hey Hugz! It's definitely even better now with the increased chances for criticals! Even with all the breaks and explanations today, we got a lot! We'll need to do a bit more to finish up the park but we're close!

[@TitaniumEmpress]

Mind you, your mining buddy (if you have them fenced in) will fast travel with you so it is only effective really if you're not fast traveling at all. 🙂 but otherwise thanks for the great tips on well placement!

[@Probably_Senpai]

Yeah! That's been discussed in some other comments! I don't really see a point in fencing them in any way. Even picking crops, I almost never bother caging them up. I'm clearly not the authority on locking them away or how that works. 😂

[@lisafields8558]

Yay❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jenniferware148]

I just remembered I have two KZbin accounts 😂😂😂 love your vids

[@Probably_Senpai]

Haha no way

[@CalamityCannon]

Thanks for this! Have you tried it with any of the potions? Are they even worth the materials?

[@Probably_Senpai]

My FAVORITE potion is the one for the shovel! It makes getting clay, soil, snow, and pebbles SUPER fast and easy! The pickaxe polish however, does not yield iron. It is specifically designed for harvesting gems and shiny stones! It does not work for gold or iron ore. Therefore, wouldn't work properly for this iron harvesting method. (You'd actually get less iron with pickaxe polish because you'd only get gemstones!) Now if you ever need gemstones for a certain recipe or quest the potion is totally worth it and I'll most likely use the pickaxe polish when gameloft introduces alexandrite!

[@Ambeezyyx3]

So. This is awesome! But, can I tell you what I do? I just timed myself for 30 minutes and I got 189. I dont use the wells. I just run between the Forest of Valor and Glade of Trust. I use my mining partner. I usually break 1 or 2 rocks in the plaza or meadow on my way, to make some time and get extra stones as well. If you dont do that, you nay we waiting about 10 seconds. But, this is what I did to get my fencing ... usually every hour I end up with almost 400. I try to do it once a day... Try it out and let me know what you think. ❤

[@Probably_Senpai]

Back when this video was made, I got 200 per half hour, but now, using the same route, I average around 250 or more every half hour! That's because they have updated critical hit chance when well fed and added the gliding mechanics. Neither changes were implicated at the time of this video, so it's even more effective now! As far as the route you used, that's pretty much what I did before developing this route. I wanted to find the absolute fastest iron generating method possible. Though, if you're also looking for stone hitting the other biomes, it makes sense. This particular video is 100% focused on iron.

[@Ambeezyyx3]

@Probably_Senpai I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to offend you, if I did. You absolutely have the better routine, and path down for this. I was just staying this for those who didn't have everything unlocked, and for you to try and see if it works well! I tried your method as well, and I got atleast another 50 or more each time! I will still use my method, for when I'm being lazy and don't want to move my wells. Like, tonight.. I used yours to make my water tower. ❤️ I did it in about 1.5 hours!! And you know that needs 500! I wasn't trying to come off rude, or offend, so I'm truly sorry if it felt that way. I was just offering another iron path that can work well! Thanks for all your videos and hard work! I watch all you do!

[@Probably_Senpai]

@Ambeezyyx3 Haha, relax! I took no offense. I'm just explaining that the numbers have changed since the time of recording this video. (It was several months ago!) I found it important to mention that the standard route you discussed in your comment was benifiting from the current game state, which has changed quite a bit from the time of this video! I'm a numbers guy. If we're going to talk numbers, I'm going to give you the updated metrics. That's all. There's no animosity on my side, and I'm not quite sure what was said that made you feel I was offended. 😅 Cheers!

[@_abbadoo_]

could you make one for eternity isle? your efficient route for the valley is so helpful but i get lost in EI still

[@beccisharp]

Anyone know if the shirt the avatar wears is a chest drop or is in the shop as I’ve never seen it? Cool and v useful vid though

[@Probably_Senpai]

Becci I got the shirt at the begining of the game! I used the Disney Dreamlight Valley Avatar creator software!

[@gabbiegarcia8449]

I noticed in the Collection tab that Iron Ore only shows Glade of Trust and Forest of Valor.. did they get rid of Iron Ore in all the other biomes? My drop rate has been pretty low lately for anything from a mining rock even with a buddy which is annoying

[@Probably_Senpai]

Iron ore can still spawn in sunlit, frosted, forgotten, and the mines, but it's mostly found in the two listed biomes under the collection tab. Iron drop rates are always pretty low with the exception of the Glade which typically drops a lot of iron. Your buddies won't increase the amount of iron that comes from the rocks. They only serve to duplicate the *last* item from the rock. Usually, that's a mineral but sometimes, it'll be iron.

[@bobainwonderland8183]

You can’t cage your companion and fast travel. They’ll go with you everytime.

[@Probably_Senpai]

Yeah, I never really cage them, so I never thought of that. Someone mentioned that earlier. Looks like they have to come with you.

[@becca4sims]

So we mine and don’t pick up the items, just keep going to the next rock spots?

[@Probably_Senpai]

I only bother picking up the iron or whatever's convenient! If you want to hit numbers close to 200, it's important to move as fast as possible. That said, waiting for what your companion throws doesn't take long. You're still likely to hit 170-180 easily!

[@randomexploring541]

The most valuable resource is rocky terrain that takes over 500 visits to scrooges shop to get! 😂😢

[@Probably_Senpai]

😂😂😂 I have the rocky terrain! I've only used it a little bit. I would like it more if it had variations. It looks so unnatural when you use a lot of it because it just repeats!

[@thomastroster60]

@@Probably_Senpai Lol. Yeah, looks like 2:36 :D

[@Probably_Senpai]

@Thomas Tröster hahaha! Too funny! That's not the rocky terrain, though! That's just the stone clusters from the landscaping menu! Those stone clusters come in a wide variety of colors! The rock terrain is completely flat and sadly only has one color (at least from what I've found!

[@khowler]

Yeah, I can't even get the clock tower from Minnie because of the lack of IRON... *sigh*

[@Probably_Senpai]

This video solves that issue, though! I just spent 1200 iron ingots on my Forest of Valor build 😅

[@stevencollins4483]

20th like LET'S GO!!!!

[@Probably_Senpai]

20 already? Dang ya'll are killing it today!

[@SweetAngelHope89]

Boop

[@patl08]

Now do this on Switch and see if it force closes

[@Probably_Senpai]

Hey Patrick. That's already been done. It works, but it depends on your Switch, to be honest. About 50% of my community plays this game on the Switch and uses this method. Almost nobody has complained of issues but if you have an older Switch like I do (first gen) it will be more prone to crashing. Feel free to use this method on your Switch. Varying platforms were considered and included in testing.

[@Goneinsane616]

Honestly it’s stone for me 😢

[@Probably_Senpai]

I feel this! Back in the day we could buy UNLIMITED stone from Kristoffs stall. They took it away 😢 However! They did recently state in an update that they will be increasing the amounts of material he sells!

[@jmware2004]

First!!! Ok second lol

[@mirandarae6151]

Lmfao 🤣 make way too much sense

[@Probably_Senpai]

Hahaha yeah you know, can't have things being all ReAlIsTiC
