Disney Dreamlight Valley Dream Shards are one of the most valuable items you will need in the game. Like with most social or farming simulation games, you have to do a lot of grindy resource gathering in Dreamlight Valley, especially during the early stages. Some resources grow from trees or seeds, while others regenerate in your surroundings. Dream Shards are obtained in very specific ways, and are often limited. We’ve got more information on the different resources available in our Dreamlight Valley beginner’s guide.

Since Dream Shards are not as renewable as other items in the Disney game, it helps to know where to find more of these pink crystals when you need them. Especially when they are a requirement in a number of character questlines. One of the earliest, Merlin’s “A New Enchantment”, teaches players how to craft Dreamlight from these shards, the valuable currency required to unlock biomes and realms, causing some players to convert all of their Dream Shards and being left with none for later quests.
