How to Get Night Shards
Night Shards can be obtained from spots where Disney Dreamlight Valley players can use their shovel. These spots are marked by what appear to be glowing mounds. Just like with the various resources throughout Disney Dreamlight Valley, these spots do regenerate after a while. So players won’t have to wait long for more of these to spawn. Night Shards can spawn in all the various biomes that make up Dreamlight Valley.
How to Get Dream Shards
Dream Shards have a chance of spawning when Disney Dreamlight Valley players clear out Night Thorns. At the start of the game, there are Night Thorns everywhere, so players will have plenty of opportunities to gather this material.
Disney Dreamlight Valley players should be aware that in spite of how many Night Thorns there are, the drop rate for Dream Shards is very low. Unless players get lucky, they will not see these shards drop all that often. Like with Night Shards, Dream Shards can be found in any part of Dreamlight Valley that Night Thorns grow in.
What are Dream Shards and Night Shards Used For?
Dream Shards and Night Shards can be used in crafting. Both materials can be crafted into an item called Purified Night Shard. Disney Dreamlight Valley players can give Purified Night Shards to their Disney friends as a gift. Dream Shards can also be crafted into Dreamlight, which is a currency used in a lot of Story Quest objectives and also allows players to open new areas of Dreamlight Valley once they have gotten far enough into the story.
Since Dream Shards are very rare and time-consuming to replenish, it is highly recommended that players use them in crafting sparingly.
Night Shards and Dream Shards can also be used as gifts for the Disney characters in the game. Players should check what the daily interests of their Disney friends are, as those listed items are a great (and efficient) way to increase Friendship Levels quickly.
While it isn’t a recommended option, both Night Shards and Dream Shards can be sold for Star Coins. While Night Shards are easy to get, there are better options as far as sellable items go. So it is recommended that players just stick to crafting either Purified Night Shards or Dreamlight.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
