==Time==
:''Main article: [[Time]]''
Time in Dreamlight Valley is synced with the player's real world local time (after completing a few initial quests). The game world will mirror the time conditions in the player's world so during the day the sun will be out, and in the evening it will be darker. Because the game clock is synced to real time, some characters are not available to engage at certain times, as they may be sleeping.
'''Tip:''' Because it takes time for crops to grow, resources to respawn, and [[Scrooge's Store]] and [[Critters]] to reset, it is more efficient to play for several shorter periods spread out over time than a single long session.

'''Tip:''' Always hang out with a [[Characters|villager]] while doing activities to passively increase their [[Friendship]] and unlock new Friendship [[Quests]]. [[Characters|Villagers]] receive a hang out bonus that grants additional [[Friendship]] and bonus resources when doing an activity that matches their role.

==The Player House==
:''Main article: [[Player's House]]''
Inside the player's house there will be a storage chest and some old looking furniture. This can be immediately redecorated and rearranged by opening the inventory and selecting 'Furniture' in the right tab menu.

In furniture edit mode all objects can be moved, taken from/added to inventory and rotated. Additional furniture can be purchased from [[Scrooge's Store]], found in chests, and rewarded from reaching [[Friendship]] levels with [[Characters|villagers]]. Inside the furniture edit mode the flooring and wallpaper inside the house can also be changed.

|Moonstones are the game's premium currency. It's used to unlock premium event tracks, which reward exclusive items during [[Events]]. [[Moonstone]]s are purchasable using real-life money on all platforms. The developers have said that they'll be adding an in-game cosmetic item store which uses [[Moonstone]] later in early access.

'''Tip:''' Look for the [[Daily Moonstone Chest]] every day to collect 50 [[Moonstone]]. Focus on repeatable [[Dreamlight]] tasks to make enough Dreamlight to unlock new areas.


==Earning Income==
==Earning Income==
Earning income is done by completing activities. [[Fishing]], [[Gardening]], [[Foraging]], and [[Mining]] all allow the player to collect resources which can be sold to [[Goofy's Stall|Goofy]] for coins. Harvested crops and gathered [[ingredients]] can be refined into [[Cooking|cooked meals]] which will sell for more than the [[ingredients]] would alone.

'''Tip:''' While it is tempting to sell resources such as [[Hardwood]] or [[Iron Ore]] for extra coins, doing so will slow down [[Quests|Quest]] progression because completing the various Friendship Quests require large amounts of these resources. Instead, focus on growing and selling cash crops such as [[Carrot]]s, [[Canola]], or [[Pumpkin]].
