Disney Dreamlight Valley, while pay-to-play during its early access period, is a story-based adventure game and farming simulator that will be free to download. Players can decorate a village, unlock magical skills, and make friends with all the villagers while playing through the main storyline.
Like other free titles, Disney Dreamlight Valley takes advantage of in-game purchases, including character skins, decorative items, companions, and other DLC. Of course, while getting access to all the paid content through gameplay is possible, it can take hours to earn exclusive rewards. This aspect will be expanded upon after its official release, but players already see the concept with the Star Path system.
What Is The Star Path In Disney Dreamlight Valley?
The Star Path is a seasonal "Battle-Pass" type feature in Disney Dreamlight Valley with limited availability. Star Paths are special events that last for about sixty days. Players must complete tasks to earn Tokens which can be exchanged for Moonstones, furniture, clothes, and motifs. The Star Paths are themed around Disney characters and movies, and the tasks are very similar to Dreamlight Duties. Things like giving gifts, fishing, hanging out with friends, removing night thorns, and more are expected. The tasks typically take longer, so players must complete some over several days.
The Star Path can be found under the Event menu. There’s a description, required duties, and a list of rewards for the current Star Path. The standard Star Path includes three rows of tasks for free, but players can spend Moonstones to unlock the premium Star Path. They can also get a few tokens for more Moonstones. Moonstones are a different type of in-game currency from Star Coins that can be earned daily from the blue chests hidden in the valley or purchased under the Shop tab. The premium Star Path has six rows of duties, so more opportunities exist to get more Tokens and exclusive items.
There are seven pages of rewards in a Star Path. Except for the first, the pages are locked until players earn a certain amount of prizes from the previous. The rewards fit the theme of the current Star Path. After the Star Path expires, players have a certain amount of time, usually a week, to spend their Tokens before the prizes are no longer available.
Star Paths aren’t the only way to get exclusive content in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Players can also get items from Twitch Drops when they’re active by watching participating streamers. The Deluxe and Ultimate game editions also include bonus items for a higher price. As for an in-game option, Star Paths create more incentive to enjoy the cozy gameplay and are creative ways to earn special rewards.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is available in early access on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
