As players unlock more biomes in Disney Dreamlight Valley they will have more spaces to customize and decorate however they see fit. Not only that, but with each new biome that is opened up it also provides players opportunities to get all sorts of brand-new resources that can be used.
Whether it is for cooking, crafting, or a quest, there all sorts of resources that can be found in the later biomes. One such material that players will progressively run into more as they unlock biomes are Gold Nuggets. This guide will show players where they can get Gold Nuggets along with what they are used for.
Where Can Gold Nuggets Be Found?
Gold Nuggets can only be found in three biomes. Those three biomes are Sunlit Plateau, Frosted Heights, and the Forgotten Lands. Disney Dreamlight Valley players should focus on unlocking either Sunlit Plateau or Frosted Heights first, as it takes far less Dreamlight to open those biomes as opposed to Forgotten Lands which requires 15,000 Dreamlight to unlock. While Frosted Heights does have some ice blocking half of the biome, completing Elsa's Friendship Quests will allow players to remove them.
In those three biomes, Disney Dreamlight Valley players can find Gold Nuggets by mining the large black rocks that spawn along the walls of those biomes. In order to have a better chance at getting more Gold Nuggets, players should bring along a companion who has the Mining Role. Doing so will allow players to stock up on Gold Nuggets.
What Are Gold Nuggets Used For?
The primary use for Gold Nuggets is crafting. The first thing that Disney Dreamlight Valley players will be able to craft with Gold Nuggets is a Gold Ingot. This big bar of gold requires five Gold Nuggets and one Coal Ore to craft.
Upon crafting a single Gold Ingot, players will automatically unlock the recipe to craft a Fountain. If players want to craft this item they will need 10 Gold Ingots (which will require 50 Gold Nuggets), 20 Pebbles, and 50 Stones.
Are Gold Nuggets Required For Quests?
Like with many of the resoruces in Disney Dreamlight Valley, Gold Ingots are eventually used in one of Ariel's Quests. If players haven't unlocked Ariel yet, they may want to consider saving up their Gold Nuggets and/or Gold Ingots in advance to save themselves some time down the line.
This is generally a good strategy for gems as well, since many quests also require those. If players do not have enough storage to do so, they can always expand their house as this does provide more storage space in the default box that can be found there.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
