How to mine for square Gems in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Star Path event tasks are often tricky to solve and complete because they have specific rules that don't always make sense in Disney Dreamlight Valley. One of these duties asks you to mine for square Gems around the village. Figuring out which Gems are square is surprisingly difficult, especially since not every Gem that is square-shaped works for this task. You have to mine certain specific ones to get this task done, so here's how to mine for square Gems in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Table of contents Which Gems are square in Disney Dreamlight Valley? Mine for square Gems in Disney Dreamlight Valley Which Gems are square in Disney Dreamlight Valley? Screenshot by Destructoid There are six Gems that qualify as square for the Star Path task that asks you to mine them.

Gem Where to find Amethyst (+Shiny Amethyst) Can be mined from rock nodes around the Frosted Heights and Forgotten Lands biomes. Emerald (+Shiny Emerald) Can be mined from rock nodes around the Forest of Valor and Glade of Trust biomes. Ruby (+Shiny Ruby) Can be mined from rock nodes around the Vitalys Mines. If you have The Storybook Vale DLC, it can also be found around Mythopia in The Elysian Fields, The Statue's Shadow, and The Fiery Plains. Sapphire (+Shiny Sapphire) Can be mined from rock nodes around the Vitalys Mines. Spinel (+Shiny Spinel) Can be mined from rock nodes around The Promenade and The Grove if you have the A Rift in Time DLC. Topaz (+Shiny Topaz) Can be mined from rock nodes around the Plaza. If you have The Storybook Vale DLC, it can be found in The Bind. If you have the A Rift in Time DLC, it can be found around The Docks and The Courtyard. Despite also being square-shaped, Onyx doesn't count for this task. Any Gems beyond the six listed here you think should work don't, as only these six are flagged as square for the purposes of the Star Path event task. This quest is a bit tricky to get done since it doesn't account for every square Gem you can mine. Mine for square Gems in Disney Dreamlight Valley To finish the mine for square Gems duty in the Garden of Whimsy Star Path event, you need to mine 10 Gems that are considered square. Only the six previously listed Gems work for this quest, so focus on finding and mining Amethyst, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Spinel, and Topaz to get this task done. When working on this task, be sure to bring along a villager who specializes in mining. Characters you assigned this role to have a chance of finding extra Gems while hanging out with you. Any additional Gems they uncover won't count for the Star Path task, but since you're mining anyway, it's still worth having some help so you can gather more to sell for Star Coins, craft with, store away, and use for quests. Screenshot by Destructoid Completing this duty gets you 25 Tokens to spend in the Garden of Whimsy event. This is the most you can obtain from any single quest, so it's certainly a task worth completing. If you need more Tokens, consider working on giving gifts to a blonde, chatting with a curious young villager, giving Arendelle’s Queen her favorites, and digging up a root vegetable with many eyes next.
