The Best Ways To Make Money In Disney Dreamlight Valley

Disney Dreamlight Valley is one of the hottest cozy games in recent years. It allows players of all ages to interact with their favorite animated Disney characters (from Mickey Mouse to Vanellope von Schweetz) while creating a dream world to fit their unique tastes. Fishing, gardening, mining, and cooking are just some ways players can spend time in a magical realm of childhood dreams and adventures.

One prime feature of the game is Scrooge McDuck’s shop, where players can find clothing, furniture, and themed decor. The savvy Scottish billionaire will also be there to upgrade buildings like Remy’s restaurant and the homes of new residents. Of course, Scrooge doesn’t give anything away for free, so players will need gold coins to invest in the Valley of their dreams. Here are some of the best ways to get some cold, hard cash.

Updated on December 29, 2024, by Gemma Johnson: Making money is a big part of Disney Dreamlight Valley. Whether buying ingredients, upgrading stalls, or adding more homes to the Valley, knowing how to make money in Disney Dreamlight Valley is essential. Of course, it takes time to make the big bucks, with Gold Star Coins being the primary currency that players may need to dip into frequently. Consequently, knowing the best ways to make money in Disney Dreamlight Valley is invaluable, especially for players eager to make millions of Gold Star Coins fast. Making money is also helpful before each big update, so players can better prepare themselves for any potential new additions to the game and progress more quickly. Fortunately, there are numerous things players can do to ensure they have plenty of cash in their pockets. This update adds one new entry and updates the existing ones where relevant.

Farm Beginner Crops

Low Cost, Decent Profit

One of the best ways to make money in Disney Dreamlight Valley is by growing early game crops. While players must progress to access the highest earners, some early-game crops like carrots can yield a decent profit. A bag of carrot seeds costs just 10 Gold Star Coins. Once grown, players can sell each carrot for 44 Gold Star Coins.

Once players start to unlock other biomes, other crops worth farming to help make more money include tomato seeds from Dazzle Beach, costing just 8 Gold Star Coins a Bag and selling for 22 Gold Star Coins each. Players can also buy onion seeds from the Forest of Valor or okra seeds from the Glade of Trust, depending on which biome they decide to unlock first. Onions sell for 170 Gold Star Coins each and Okra for 114 Gold Star Coins.

Level Up Friendships With Villagers

Get Friendship Rewards Like Star Coins

One benefit of leveling up friendships with Disney Dreamlight Valley villagers is not only completing their quests but receiving rewards per friendship level. In the character collection pages, players can scroll down and see their friendship with each character and unlockable rewards. While this could be a cosmetic item specific to that character, it could also be around 500 or 1,000 Gold Star Coins, which is a great way to top up funds.

Additionally, it’s worth spending time hanging out with villagers when doing everyday activities like mining, digging, and fishing. If players take a character with that same specialty, they can also net more finds, like more gems, while mining. After players complete friendship quests, they often receive rewards in their mailbox to sell for extra cash.

Dig Up And Sell Pearls

A Quick And Easy Way For Players To Pocket Extra Star Coins

Another way to make money in Disney Dreamlight Valley is by digging up and selling Pearls. While Pearls are an exclusive crafting item in Disney Dreamlight Valley‘s A Rift in Time expansion, they are also a quick and easy way to put extra Star Coins in players’ pockets. Players need only start digging in the grassy areas of Ancient Landing on Eternity Isle for a chance to get one or more of these shiny delights. Indeed, players can scoop up around three Pearls at once in a single dig spot worth 10 Gold Star Coins each once sold.

While this doesn’t sound like a lot, it can soon add up, especially if players bring along a digging companion or some Miracle Shovel Varnish to net some more as an alternative to mining for gems.

Tidy Up The Valley

Make Space And Extra Cash

Players can also make extra money in Disney Dreamlight Valley by having a tidy-up around the Valley. Depending on how neat players like to keep their Valley as they go along, it’s probably likely they will find all kinds of high-value items just lying around on the ground waiting to be collected, especially near rocks. Tidying up the Valley not only frees up more placement space but also gives players more things to sell at Goofy’s stall.

It’s also worth players de-cluttering their storage to check for time-limited forageables worth selling, like buttons from the “Thrills and Frills” update. Some are worth around 50 Star Coins each, which soon adds up if sold in large batches.

Clear Away Night Thorns

Quickly Gain Star Coins And A Chance Of Gold Chests

At the start of Disney Dreamlight Valley, the world is under a dark spell known as the Forgetting. One symptom is that the Valley is overrun by spiky Night Thorns, which can be the bane of the player’s existence, as they can often get in the way. However, Night Thorns are also a potential cash cow. For every bundle players whisk away, they have the potential to earn at least 10 Gold Star Coins. It may not seem like much, but with Thorns cropping up almost constantly, that money soon adds up to buy things like Disney Dreamlight Valley upgrades. Of course, players with access to A Rift in Time can also clear away Splinters of Fate for a chance of Star Coins spawning.

Additionally, clearing Night Thorns can spit out a bundle of sparkling Star Coins at least once a day. The music changes, indicating a countdown to collect them all for a golden chest reward containing more Star Coins before the time runs out. While the prize changes randomly, it can sometimes reward players with around 250 coins.

Sell Shiny Gems

High-Value Jewels To Make Money Fast

Similar to the real world, gems in Disney Dreamlight Valley are very valuable. Unlike in the real world, they are super easy to find. Each area in the game has rocks to mine with specific gems found in certain biomes. Bringing along a friend with a mining specialty can also help, as they can mine extra gems while “hanging out” with the player.

Shiny gems are rarer and typically earn more coins when players sell them at Goofy’s stall. Some of Disney Dreamlight Valley‘s best gems are Shiny Diamonds, as players might expect, located in the Forgotten Lands. Each Shiny Diamond is worth a whopping 2,400k. The next most valuable is the Shiny Amethyst at 2,000k, which players can find in the Forgotten Lands and Frosted Heights. Shiny Rubies and Shiny Sapphires are also worth a pretty penny at 1,400k and are discoverable in the Vitalys Mines. Of course, A Rift in Time also has other valuable shiny gems for players to mine, like Shiny Blue Zircon worth 2,000 Coins.

Sell Rare Fish

Valuable Fish Equal More Star Coins

Like so many popular cozy games, fishing is a staple activity here, and there are many varieties of fish in Disney Dreamlight Valley for players to discover. Of course, the rarer the fish, the more money Goofy will pay at his stall. To make more money in Disney Dreamlight Valley, players can find rare fish around the valley by aiming for gold-colored ripples fishing at certain times of the day.

Some of the rarest fish in the game include Here and There Fish, which are introduced in Nala’s questline ‘Here and There and Back Again.’ This beautiful specimen is worth 2K gold coins and can be found anywhere in the Valley early morning or at night. The next best fish to sell in Disney Dreamlight Valley is the Anglerfish, worth 1.5K and found in the Forgotten Lands, followed by White Sturgeon for 1.2K (Frosted Heights) and Walleye for 1.1K (Sunlit Plateau).

Moana’s Fishing Boat

Cash In A Bunch Of Fish For Little To No Effort

Players who earn a Level 2 friendship level with Moana can unlock her quest called ‘Fixing the Boat’, which involves fixing and restoring Moana’s boat to its former glory. Once fixed, players can start raking in the benefits as Moana uses her boat to catch and brings back fish for players to do with what they like.

It’s also worthwhile upgrading Moana’s boat as much as possible, which can be expensive, but often worth it. Once fully upgraded, Moana brings back around 20 fish, with a good chunk of them often rare finds. Players can then choose the ones they want to keep for recipes and sell the rarer ones for big bucks.

Make And Sell Meals

Make 5-Star Recipes With A Big Price Tag

The best chefs know that the key to cooking is combining the right ingredients. With Remy’s help in Disney Dreamlight Valley, players can earn serious Star Coins by cooking and selling top-tier meals. Five-star meals are the best bet, and the more variety of ingredients, the better. Indeed, some of the best meals to sell in Disney Dreamlight Valley include Pan-Fried Angler Fish worth 2,457 Star Coins and Poached Basil-Butter Sturgeon worth 2,010 Coins.

Players with access to recipes from A Rift in Time can also make Shawarma for a whopping 3,782 Star Coins and Blend of the Bayou for 2,182 Coins. Making and selling such delectable delicacies is often fun and can be a great way to earn some extra money.

Wall-E’s Garden

Stock Up On Veggies For Free

Like Moana’s Fishing Boat quest, players can help their favorite trash-collecting robot by making the perfect vegetable garden. Wall-E’s level 2 friendship quest, ‘Village Project: The Garden’, unlocks a treasure trove of crops to sell, and players don’t even have to lift a finger! Well, after they collect all the materials and craft all the needed tools, that is.

Once the quest is complete, Wall-E’s garden is full of veggies to harvest. Of course, it helps to upgrade the garden as much as possible. The bigger the garden, the more crops will grow, and the more money players get for selling them. With a little time and investment, it’s easy money.

2

Grow And Sell Pumpkins

Sell High-Value Crops Like Pumpkins To Fill Pockets

Of course, why should Wall-E get to have all the gardening fun? For those who enjoy digging in the dirt and seeing the fruits and veggies of their labor, growing and harvesting high-value crops is one of the best ways to make money in Disney Dreamlight Valley. While players must sometimes purchase costly seeds from Goofy’s stall to get started, the profit is worth it in the long run, especially once they know the best seeds to buy.

Pumpkins remain some of the best crops to make money in Disney Dreamlight Valley, despite their long growing time. Pumpkin seeds cost 275 Gold Stars Coins per bag but sell for 664 gold each, which is over twice the price of the seed itself. Leeks are also worth planting at only 120 Gold Star Coins per bag, and each leek harvested sells for 309 Coins. Players can buy both pumpkin and leek seeds at his stall in the Forgotten Lands, making them something for beginners to work towards unlocking.

Craft And Sell Miracle Potions

Handy Potions To Make Money Like Magic

Crafting is an essential skill in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Not only is it crucial for completing questlines, but helps to beautify and personalize the world’s aesthetic. Along their journey, players will receive recipes for crafting Miracle Elixirs. These potions greatly enhance tools, allowing them to mine, fish, and garden like a true pro.

While the Miracle Potions are incredibly useful for collecting various treasures, they also have decent monetary value. Disney Dreamlight Valley‘s Miracle Pickaxe Polish, Miracle Growth Elixir, Miracle Fishing Bait, and Miracle Shovel Varnish are sellable for extra dough. Potions with the “Even More Miraculous” moniker are especially valuable. For example, crafting the Even More Miraculous Pickaxe Polish and selling it at Goofy’s stall will yield a very lucrative amount of 5,700 Coins.
