Disney Dreamlight Valley is available from Tuesday, September 6, 2022 in Early Access on all platforms. The opportunity for you to discover this magical world and restore it by finding lost Disney and Pixar characters. All means are good: whether it's exploring the open world by unlocking the passages of nocturnal thorns thanks to the Dreamlight, or going through the castle and its magic paintings. Recently, an update added the character of Scar and his friendship quests. One of them will ask you for Nightshards so here's how to get some easily!
The only way to get night shards
Although before the updates it was possible to get Nightshards via Thorns or Critters, this is now reserved for Dreamshards only. Now there is only one way to get Nightshards:
- Digging in the glowing holes : You've probably noticed crevices of sorts littering the floor of your biomes from time to time, letting out a few sparkles. Using your Shovel, you can dig into the hole and dig up Nightshards most often!
Our tips for finding them more easily:
- Regarding the shiny holes, remember to take a Character who has the "Excavation" profession as an accompanying person, thanks to the "Let's go for a walk" option. If he is at friendship level 10, he will then be able to allow you to obtain 2 Shards at the link of 1 for example.
- If you have just started the game: do not waste your Night Shards. Even if you feel like you have a lot of them, don't sell them and keep them in your chests, you will need them in many quests currently available but also in future quests! Scar is a good example.
- The truth is that Dream Shards have become much easier to obtain than Night Shards now. The best way to get them is to farm the shiny holes.
What are Night Shards for?
As said just now, you will be asked for the Night Shards in a majority of the story and character friendship quests. In truth, it is mainly Purified Night Shards that will be necessary and which you will have to craft via your Workbench based on 5 Night Shards and 1 Dream Shard.
The other usefulness of Nocturnal Shards can quite simply be to offer them as favorite gifts to your Characters: Merlin is fond of them, for example!
