If there is anything that had a great deal of room for improvement in Disney Dreamlight Valley, it would be storage. Since crafting and cooking are some of the main mechanics of this game, it should be no surprise that there are a lot of materials for players to gather. While players do have a chest in their house that can be expanded with house upgrades, it is only one chest.
With the third major update for Disney Dreamlight Valley now available, players have some new chests that they can craft to store more items. While the Medium Chest is a significant upgrade over the Small Chest, players in need of even more space will want to craft a Large Chest, and here is how to craft one.
How to Craft Large Chest
Since a Large Chest provides the most amount of slots of all storage furniture in Disney Dreamlight Valley currently, it makes sense that it is also the most difficult to craft as it requires a lot of resources found in biomes unlocked later on in the game. In order to craft a Large Chest, players will need to first craft five Gold Ingots, gather 25 Dark Wood, and gather 5,000 Dreamlight.
Gold Ingots can be crafted with five Gold Nuggets and one Coal Ore, so players will need to gather 25 Gold Nuggets and five Coal Ore to make enough Gold Ingots for a Large Chest. Gold Nuggets can be gathered from mining rocks in the Frosted Heights, Sunlit Plateau, the Forgotten Lands, and the Vitalys Mine in Sunlit Plateau. Coal Ore can be found while mining in every single biome, and it periodically shows up at Kristoff's Stall.
Of all the materials needed to craft a Large Chest, Dark Wood is the most difficult to obtain as it only drops in the Forgotten Lands. This type of wood spawns infrequently, so it will take players time to gather 25 Dark Wood. Aside from its rarity, Dark Wood tends to blend in very well with the color of the Forgotten Lands. Finally, Dreamlight is gathered by completing duties. Duties require players to do simple tasks like selling items, giving gifts, and cooking recipes.
How Much Storage Space Does a Large Chest Have?
A Large Chest offers the same amount of item slots as the chest in the house when it is fully upgraded. So with a Large Chest, players will have an extra 48 item slots to store whatever they want. Whether it is gems or materials for cooking recipes, a Large Chest will help players with any storage related issues they might have had prior to the latest update in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Just like with the Medium Chest, players cannot upgrade a Medium Chest into a Large Chest. A Large Chest must be made from scratch, like all the other chests in the game.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
