🎉 Winter Ball Update: A Magical Adventure Awaits! 🎉
Hey there, Valley Villagers! Are you ready to embark on a magical journey filled with new quests, companions, and exciting improvements? The Winter Ball update is here, and it's packed with features that will delight and surprise you! But here's where it gets controversial... Let's dive in and explore the details of this highly anticipated patch.
New Content: Unlocking the Secrets of Cinderella
Get ready to meet the enchanting Cinderella from Disney's classic tale! With a little help from the Fairy Godmother, you'll be able to bring this magical princess to your Valley. But be warned, this quest won't be easy! You'll need to unlock the Fairy Godmother first, and then break the protective pumpkin enchantment to bring Cinderella to your side.
As you assist Cinderella in her friendship quests, explore new hobbies, and befriend curious critters, you'll unlock her dazzling friendship rewards. But that's not all! You can also ring in the holiday cheer with the Winter Warmth Star Path, decorate your Valley with festive furnishings, and welcome a cozy new holiday Baby Pegasus companion.
DreamTeams: Collaborate and Conquer
Once you've completed the 'Friendship is Everything' quest, you'll be able to create or join a DreamTeam with up to seven friends! Customize your team's name, motto, and motif, and request or trade items with other members. But be careful, this feature is not available in the Disney Dreamlight Valley Apple Arcade Edition.
Improvements: Enhancing Your Valley Experience
Star Path: Tracking Your Progress
Now you can track all your active Star Path Duties at once, and a refreshed interface highlights which rewards have been collected. Plus, a new Auto-Claim feature allows you to toggle on automatic duty and reward claiming for those using the Premium Star Path.
Scrooge McDuck Store: New Return Policy
The Scrooge McDuck Store has a new return policy! You can now sell purchasable items back to Scrooge at 75% of their Star Coin value. And with a new search bar, filters, and sorting options, browsing and purchasing from Scrooge's Delivery System has never been easier.
Photo Mode: Villager Toggle
Take control of which Villagers appear in your photos with a new toggle feature. Up to 15 unlocked Disney Dreamlight Villagers will be available to display, allowing you to capture the perfect moment with your favorite characters.
Dynamic Realm Unlocks: Customizing Your Experience
New dynamic Dreamlight prices to unlock realm doors will allow for a more customized experience! After the first three doors, you can choose which realm door to unlock next, giving you more control over your Valley's progression.
Other Updates: New Companions and Bug Fixes
Companion Abilities: Your Pets Get an Upgrade
Your loyal Animal Companions will now assist you more broadly based on Activity types. From Rabbits to Foxes, Crocodiles, and Turtles, each companion has a unique role to play in helping you collect resources and complete quests.
Community Companion: The Sakura Blossom Dragon
Rejoice! The Sakura Blossom Dragon, the Community Companion created with your help earlier this year, is making its way to your Valley with the Winter Ball update! Simply enter the redeemable code COMMUNITYCOMPANIONDRAGON2025 in your Menu once the update goes live to claim it.
Wishblossom Ranch Updates: Leveling Up Mounts
Riding a mount will now grant significantly more XP, and mining and removing Dead Wishblossoms, Splinters of Fate, Inkies, and Night Thorns will also grant increased XP. Plus, watering and harvesting will now award more XP, with harvesting awarding more than double the amount it previously did.
Top Changes and Bug Fixes: Addressing Issues and Enhancing Stability
From fixing issues with the Crystal Cavern: Pixie Acres quest to addressing problems with the Web Witch Dress and Purple Witch Dress, we've addressed a wide range of bugs and issues to enhance your Valley experience. And with improvements to the Valley Stable and the addition of a Wishblossom Ranch Stable, you'll have more options for managing your Valley's resources.
