There are plenty of different kinds of wood in Disney Dreamlight Valley, but Dark Wood is probably one of the hardest to get. The elusive wood doesn’t spawn much and it only spawns in one area, making it one of the most difficult to find in the game.
What is Dark Wood in Disney Dreamlight Valley?
Dark Wood is a rare wood material for players in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Dark Wood will only spawn next to trees in the Forgotten Lands biome.
So, those who want a room full of Large Chests will need to spend a lot of time and effort gathering Dark Wood from the Forgotten Lands, the only biome in which the wood spawns. It competes with Dry Wood, spawning in the Forgotten Lands, making the chance of Dark Wood spawning even more rare.
Additionally, after the Feb. 16 content update, there’s now an excellent use for Large Chests. The cost for the chest is incredibly high in terms of Dreamlight, but players aren’t even concerned about the Dreamlight cost; they’re more concerned about the Dark Wood cost. The Large Chest requires 25 Dark Wood in a game where Dark Wood is hard to come by.
Since wood spawns on the ground, the outdoor furniture tool can be helpful. Moving all the possible darkwood trees to one spot can make gathering them much faster and even easier to see at night if you know the singular location where they are all located.
Fastest ways to farm Dark Wood in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Luckily, there is a hack to farm Dark Wood in Disney Dreamlight Valley, but it does mean that players will need to clear out most of the biome of all the decorations there. This same hack works for every biome in the game, so players can farm any wood depending on the biome where they put the trees that make it work.
Players should clear their Forgotten Lands biome of all trees to farm Dark Wood quickly. Then, place as many Plaza Trees as you can find into the biome at least three spaces apart. Every 15 minutes, the trees will spawn wood.
There is likely to be more Dry Wood than Dark Wood that spawns, but because the spawn rate is every 15 minutes, players should be able to farm it quicker than if they left the trees in the biome. Those who don’t want to obliterate the Forgotten Lands biome will need to farm it the old-fashioned way and check the trees occasionally to see if any Dark Wood has dropped.
Now that you know how to get Dark Wood in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you can get out there and farm away. Good luck.
