In Disney Dreamlight Valley, the enchanting world is home to a delightful array of characters from beloved Disney universes like Toy Story, Frozen, Moana, and more. Players can bring these vibrant personalities into their Village by undertaking quests, with new characters becoming available through game updates.
Once a new character moves in, players have the opportunity to deepen their friendship by completing quests, giving gifts, and engaging in other activities. By accomplishing these tasks, players earn Friendship points, which work similarly to experience points in RPGs and help to elevate the bond between the character and the player. This guide will provide players with the most efficient methods for increasing Friendship levels with residents in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Benefits of Increasing Friendship With A Valley Resident
As the player progresses through Disney Dreamlight Valley, their bond with a character strengthens upon accumulating a certain amount of Friendship. This progression leads to unlocking exciting new features, engaging quests, and enticing rewards. With every incremental level of Friendship attained, the player is bestowed with either one of the character's exclusive items or a modest number of Star Coins.
Each character possesses a unique collection of items comprising garments, accessories, patterns, and furnishings. Furthermore, fresh missions exclusive to that character will become available upon reaching Level 2, Level 4, Level 7, and Level 10 Friendship.
How To Quickly Increase Friendship
There are various ways for players to increase their Friendship with a character. These methods include presenting them with their preferred items, accomplishing quests, bringing them along as a companion, engaging in conversations with them, and serving meals at Remy's Restaurant.
Give Villagers Their Daily Favorite Gifts
To expedite the increase of Friendship levels, players have access to several effective methods that require minimal effort. By utilizing these tactics, players can achieve unlimited Friendship with a specific character in just a single day, thereby swiftly unlocking all associated quests and rewards.
The characters in Disney Dreamlight Valley have a variety of items that they particularly love receiving as gifts. Each day, players have the opportunity to give a character their top three favorite gifts of the day, which will earn them additional friendship points. Any gifts given beyond the first three will still increase the character's Friendship, but at a regular, lower rate for that specific type of item.
To determine a villager's preferred gifts, players can interact with them or hover over their portrait in the "Characters" section of the game menu's Collections tab.
After presenting all three preferred gifts to a character once, players can still give them gifts to earn Friendship points. However, they will not receive the substantial 1,500 bonus Friendship points awarded for each of the three preferred gifts.
Give Flowers To Villagers
Characters will keep on granting Friendship when they receive any items from the player, even if they have already received their three favorite gifts for the day. Each gift provides a different amount of Friendship. The player can choose from a wide range of items in the game, as all of them are considered acceptable gifts for the characters.
Nevertheless, the simplest way for the player to increase a villager's Friendship is by giving them any kind of Flower. When a character is given a Flower, they receive a generous 400 Friendship. The player can keep giving Flowers to the character until their Friendship level with them is at its maximum.
There are alternative items that will grant substantial Friendship rewards, like Minerals or enchanted items such as Dream Shards and Night Shards. Nevertheless, it is advisable to reserve these items for crafting and quests due to their higher value and more substantial purposes.
Flowers can be easily gathered from the various biomes in the game. Players who regularly collect items from each biome will likely have a stash of flowers in their chests. Moreover, players can also acquire numerous flowers from the Beast's Greenhouse daily by using Star Coins to enhance its yield.
While it may feel monotonous partnering with a villager and repeatedly choosing the "I have something to give you!" dialogue option to give flowers, this method requires minimal effort yet provides the highest increase in Friendship.
Hang Out With A Companion
To earn the Friendship of a resident in Dreamlight Valley, one can spend time with them. Once the player reaches Friendship Level 2 with a villager, they can assign a specific Companion Role to that character. There are five roles, each tied to one of the everyday activities in Disney Dreamlight Valley that can be done using the player's Royal Tools.
Completing tasks that match the assigned Companion Role will reward Friendship points. The highest gains come from Mining and Fishing, followed by Foraging, which involves collecting wild-grown fruits and vegetables. Friendship can also be earned by performing regular activities such as watering crops, removing Night Thorns, and other day-to-day tasks.
To optimize your Friendship gains, it is essential to acquaint yourself with the character's schedule prior to choosing to spend time with them. Every character in Disney Dreamlight Valley adheres to a structured schedule that includes designated periods for sleeping, shopping at Scrooge's Store, and, most notably, dining at Chez Remy.
Characters are typically seen dining at Chez Remy twice daily. During these times, players can go to the restaurant to fulfill the meal requests of each character. This activity serves as a consistent way to strengthen friendships and can also provide better rewards depending on the quality of the ordered meal.
To make sure players do not overlook this chance to build friendship points, it is advisable to check a character's schedule before selecting them to accompany you.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
