Disney Dreamlight Valley free Moonstones

Disney Dreamlight Valley has a paid currency to allow players the chance to purchase items, skins, and more – but Moonstones can be rather expensive. So, here’s how to get these Moonstones for free in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Moonstones are further ingraining themselves into Disney Dreamlight Valley, being part of the Item shop, Star Path, and more. While this addition has caused some controversy among players of the game, it seems like the paid currency is here to stay.

Luckily, there are ways to get hold of some Moonstones without needing to spend anything, allowing those concerned about the price and microtransactions the chance to bypass it entirely. So, here are all the ways you can get Moonstone for free in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

Free Moonstone Chests

Daily chests will give you some easy Moonstones without having to spend anything.

The easiest way to get free Moonstones is to capitalize on the daily Moonstone chests that place themselves randomly around the village.

These chests, looking blue rather than the traditional green, will give you 50 Moonstones upon opening. While it’s not tons, they will quickly add up, especially if you’re playing every day.

Disney Dreamlight Valley Star Path Moonstones

This requires a little work to complete your Star Path duties but it’s well worth it.

While this method isn’t as easy as just finding a chest, working through the Star Path will grant you a considerable amount of free Moonstones, perhaps lining yourself up for the Premium Star Path in the next update.

You can get up to 2,000 Moonstones by completing the Star Path duties and cashing in on the Moonstone rewards. We recommend heading through the Star Path and grabbing the items or clothing you want then working towards the Moonstone. After all, there’s plenty of time to complete the quests.

Participate in DreamSnaps challenges

The newest way to gain free Moonstones in Disney Dreamlight Valley is by participating in DreamSnaps, the game’s multiplayer photo challenge. This feature was introduced in July 2023, bringing another multiplayer element into the game.

Each week, the game holds a DreamSnaps competition in which players are encouraged to take photos that fit a certain theme. After submitting a photo, other players have the chance to vote on it.

Those who submit photos and vote on other submissions can earn free Moonstones. Entering into the DreamSnaps competition earns you at least 300 Moonstones. That amount goes up depending on how well your photo does, with the overall weekly winner getting 12,000 Moonstones.

Additionally, voting on DreamSnap submissions can earn you up to 50 Moonstones a week, so it’s definitely worth submitting and voting each week even if you don’t think you can win.

So, there you have it, that’s all the ways to get free Moonstones in Disney Dreamlight Valley. While looking for the chest or working towards completing your Star Path duties, take a look at some of our handy Disney Dreamlght Valley guides and content to help you through your game:
