Visiting allows shopping at [[Scrooge's Store]], dropping resources to trade, and collecting a special resource - [[Pixel Shard]]s. Players can drop and pick up items from the core game of [[Disney Dreamlight Valley]] regardless of the Host or visiting Player's platform. However, items that require the expansion [[Version_History/Expansion_1|A Rift In Time]] require both players to be using the same platform<!--(e.g. Xbox, Nintendo Switch, etc.)-->.<!--The game does not make this obvious to the end user.-->
Visiting allows shopping at [[Scrooge's Store]], dropping resources to trade, and collecting a special resource - [[Pixel Shard]]s. Players can drop and pick up items from the core game of [[Disney Dreamlight Valley]] regardless of the Host or visiting Player's platform. Both items from the base game and items from the expansion [[Version_History/Expansion_1|A Rift In Time]] can be exchanged, regardless of the platforms of each player.


Multiplayer visits (either visiting or hosting) is the only way to obtain [[Pixel Shard]]s. These items spawn every few minutes{{cleanup|maximums and spawn rate, any other requirements}} when a connection is open and at least 2 Players are in the Valley. They are specific to each player - there is no concern about accidentally "taking" someone else's [[Pixel Shard]], as each Player will see different ones appear. The [[Pixel Shard]]s will remain in a Valley while a connection is open after a visitor leaves, but if they have not been picked up from the ground, they will disappear when the connection is closed.{{cleanup|Needs secondary verification}}
