The main way to earn Dreamlight is to work your way through all of your Dreamlight Duties. You can find these by navigating to the Dreamlight menu, where there will always be six tasks waiting for you to complete.

These Duties are short and simple tasks like foraging for a few vegetables or having a discussion with a character. The amount of Dreamlight you’ll earn isn’t massive, but the tasks are easy to breeze through so it can quickly add up.

As well as Dreamlight Duties, you’ll also find specific milestone tasks to complete in the menu. These all revolve around a specific action, such as fishing or cooking, and the rewards get better as you work your way through each stage.

The best thing about these milestone tasks is that you’ll often find yourself completing them without even realizing it, as they’re all actions that you’ll perform while working through the game’s Realm Quests, Story Quests, and Friendship Quests.

Craft Dreamlight using Dream Shards

There is another way to earn Dreamlight: Crafting! If you visit a crafting bench and look under the Potions & Enchantments section, you can use 10 Dream Shards to craft 250 Dreamlight, with no limit on how much you can make.

While this is definitely the quickest way, we’d advise against doing it unless you’re desperate. Dream Shards are quite rare and you’ll need them to complete some quests in the future, so it’s always good to keep some safely stored away.
