[[File:Dreamlight Valley Getting Started.png|center|400px|link=]] | |||
Welcome to Disney Dreamlight Valley! The gameplay in Disney Dreamlight Valley is very open-ended, allowing players to choose what activity they'd like to focus on. Aside from [[Quests#Story_Quests|story quests]] most gameplay is non-linear, and players can choose to spend time [[Gardening]], [[Cooking]], [[Mining]], [[Foraging]], [[Characters|gift giving]], [[Quests#Friendship|completing Friendship quests]], or collecting [[clothing]] and [[furniture]] to decorate. | Welcome to Disney Dreamlight Valley!

:''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. | |||

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. | Earning income is done by completing activities.

'''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]]s. | |||

'''Tip:''' [[Meals]] can be cooked for free using the unlimited ingredients in the [[Ratatouille Realm]]. While the ingredients and meals cannot be removed from the [[Ratatouille Realm]], they can be eaten inside the realm to restore [[Energy]] or obtain the [[Bonuses#Well Fed Benefits|Well Fed Bonus]] which will carry over into the Valley upon leaving the Realm. It is possible to fast travel to the [[Ratatouille Realm]] from anywhere in the Valley by clicking on the [[Dream Castle]] icon on the Map of the Valley. It is therefore highly recommended to unlock the [[Ratatouille Realm]] first. | |||
