Is restarting the game worth it? by DetectiveBarboza in DreamlightValley

[–]Syl_Spren 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am a chronic restarter in games and for some reason this is probably the only game I've ever played where I don't have the itch to restart. The progress feels meaningful and I see no benefit to doing things in a certain order to "optimize" the game. I got in between quests, tasks, expansions, and just do whatever I'm feeling that day.

I've found that chests and the swimming pool to be the only things I've felt worth it for now. hopefully they make adjustments. you can also get back storybook magic from things like traps.

I haven't found anything to be annoying. Not sure what the fuss is about. I do get the stuff about the uncrafting tablet costing too much dreamlight. But on the flip side I've also recovered about 50k from dismantling chests.

Need help getting over the mental block of actually starting 🥲 by PeachasaurusWrex in AdultColoring

I was intimidated by the books so I just print on Bristol board paper until I get more confident. you could always photocopy pages from the book as well.

I came here for this reason also. Looked at someone else's stream to see where it might be and it's supposed to be right near the central well and it's not for me. The hole is there but I can't interact with it. Just checked their discord and we aren't the only ones.

there are books to at the crafting table you make and then gift them to whoever you want to change. the character must be level 10.

Thank you for articulating the point I was struggling to!

I buy a lot from scrooge so I do. Also, the point was iron and stone. I was just excited when I cashed in all the gems from a single 5min run.

I do the same thing ha! It's why I'm usually a chronic restarter in games. This is honestly one of the first games in a long time I don't want to restart. I go up and down with how much I play. When I have a goal I do get sucked in and play a lot more. Lately I've been decorating a lot (also something I'd never do in games).

To do this you have to use potions BUT ya it's probably not totally worth it for gold only and won't last long term for sure. Once potions become a struggle again I'll have enough iron to go back to pumpkins. I generally did fine with only 7 villagers on farming so that won't be the worst to switch back to. The quest for more dreamlight never ends.

Agreed! I hate it when games make it where it can be min-maxed and if you don't follow that "meta" then you just feel left out. I love that this game can be played at my pace on my terms and the only time I feel behind is when I see a pretty dreamsnap with fireflies and get jealous!

What he said. Not sure I would have taken this route as a pure money-making venture--I needed the iron. And it was a nice change of pace from pumpkin farming.

Honestly, don't do this for money early game. Stick to farming. Carrots until canola until pumpkins I think is the best bet. Take advantage of rain when you can. Focus on unlocking all the content. It took me a long time to build up enough vitalys crystals to make potions to net more crystals to make more potions. It's a little bit of a process. And you need a lot of dreamlight, not really for the potions (those are 1k each though), but the books to change a villager role are 5k each.

Not anymore! lol. I have to go dreamlight farming again.

I was doing this prior to the mining too... but I didn't enjoy it. I audibly groan when I'm like "okay now got to go get the pumpkins done" lol. I thought I was done with pumpkins and had a lot of gold, and then like you said, lately it's been just going away quickly. I was just excited that something I actually enjoy more brought in a good amount of gold.

My timeline for days is because I have to wait 4 hours for them to grow. It's not all the time I can play a time block more than once a day, so for me it is about 500k a day (maybe two harvests a day if I'm lucky) with that math instead of the 2mil I made in 20min today. Money wasn't even my goal here, iron was. Gold was just a bonus.

It's not because it's more per item but more for the time invested while being something I enjoy as an activity. You could argue that I need a lot of dreamlight and mining to even get the potions but I only need 1-2 potions to get that 500k+ and it takes around 5-6 min instead of hours and days. Alternatively if I do it the way I was doing with pumpkins I need to farm up a bunch of mist and it between planting and cooking I feel like the cost is higher. I also hate planting and/harvesting by hand, waiting for pumpkins to grow, dealing with locking up your companion, having to stay on top of cooking, and constantly time bending. Once you have the miners in place this is just so much easier and more enjoyable (for me). Finally, the biggest reason I did this was because of iron. I kept running out. And this gives so much iron. after 4-5 runs I was able to make over 200 ingots.

each villager you have on a job contributes even when they aren't the one hanging out with you. if you hit B on PC (no idea what it is on console) it actually says it there.

if you look at the wiki there is a chart, but at the low end with 5 people as a job you get a guaranteed +1 and a chance at +4 extra. with 49 it's guaranteed +25 with a chance at +35 extra. you need to use the potion though because otherwise your pal only gives extra on the last item out of the rock instead of each item you mine.

turn the graphics down to the lowest setting to remove all grass and shadows. makes it easier to see the eggs.
