Emerald is one of the many gems that you can mine from rocks in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Unfortunately, it is not the easiest gem to find.
Opportunities to farm Emerald for yourself comes much later in the game. This guide will help you find and farm as many Emeralds as possible in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Where to mine Emeralds in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Emerald is not found in any rock that you can mine in the valley. You need to unlock the biomes of Glade of Trust and Forest of Valor to farm Emeralds. These two are the only two biomes in Disney Dreamlight Valley where you can mine Emeralds.
However, the chances of getting Emerald are low even if you mine in these two areas, as these gems are pretty rare and rarely get dropped upon mining. You will get more Citrine while mining the rocks of Glade of Trust, and if you mine in Forest of Valor, you might get more Aquamarine gems than emeralds.
Out of both of these, we recommend that you unlock Forest of Valor first. There are a couple of reasons behind this suggestion. Firstly, it is cheap to unlock the Forest of Valor location in Disney Dream Valley as it only costs you 3,000 Dreamlight, whereas if you want to unlock Glade of Trust, you need to spend a hefty 5,000 Dreamlight for the location.
Out of both of these, we recommend that you unlock Forest of Valor first. The reason is that Glade of Trust is blocked off by a lot of mushrooms, and it takes almost forever to clear them out. You do face a few roadblocks for unlocking Forest of Valor as well, however, these are nowhere as difficult as compared to unlocking Glade of Trust.
In the end, just keep in mind to search for the gem near rocky areas since Emeralds are mostly found sticking out of rocks, and you’ll have plenty of rocks to find all around the Valley.
You must look for gemstones that do not shine as they are the right ones to complete your mission, do not go for the shining gemstones as they are not the normal ones.
How to farm Emeralds
You need to farm the rocks in these biomes to get Emeralds. As with all gems, if you are having a hard time finding Emeralds you should bring around a friend that has a Mining Deed, to increase your chance of finding Emeralds.
Bringing along a mining friend will also have them collect other materials for you such as iron ore and extra gems. You can sell these gems and materials to earn coins or use them in your other quests.
All the rocks that you have mined respawn after five minutes, so you can keep on farming these rocks if you manage to find a good farming route.
Emeralds’ uses
Emeralds are immensely valuable and can be sold for a very high price. You can sell a single normal version of Emerald for 325 Star Coins. If you find a Shiny Emerald, you can sell it for 1,300 Star Coins. This makes Emerald highly desirable.
Emeralds can also be used as gifts to help increase your friendship level with the different characters in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Some recipes also include Emeralds as one of their ingredients, so it’s best that you hold on to a few Emeralds.
