In Dreamlight Valley, “Coin Pool Theory” refers to a book Scrooge McDuck borrowed from the Dreamlight Library, which is a quest item in the “Book Hunt” quest. The book’s content discusses the accumulation of coins, though the game mechanics related to this are most clearly demonstrated through the minigame called Scramblecoin.
Scramblecoin and “coin pooling” strategies
Scramblecoin is a board game where players strategically move character figurines to collect the most coins. Here’s a breakdown of common strategies:
- Understanding the Basics: The game involves placing character pieces, moving them to gather coins, and outscoring the opponent.
- Character Selection: Each character has unique moves and abilities.
– Goofy can move three squares in any direction.
– Scrooge McDuck moves two squares in any direction and earns an extra coin each turn.
– Donald moves three squares in any direction.
– Minnie moves three squares diagonally.
– Mickey moves three squares horizontally or vertically.
– Eve has a long jump.
– Anna moves three spots perpendicularly.
– Rapunzel collects surrounding coins when moved one spot.
– Ursula can attack and reduce the movement of opponent characters.
- Strategic Play:
– Focus on coin collection: Choose the character that can gather the most coins each round.
– Prioritize Scrooge: If multiple characters can collect the same number of coins, prioritize Scrooge for his bonus coin each turn.
– Spreading out for gold coins: In the later stages (like turn three), spread out your characters to prepare for the appearance of gold coins in turn four.
– Prioritizing Gold Coins: On turn four and five, focus on reaching and collecting the gold coins.
– Character Swapping: Replace a character if it can’t reach the gold coins, with Goofy often being a good option.
– Avoid Early Goofy Use: If possible, save Goofy for later rounds when his movement range might be crucial.
– Practice with Easier Opponents: Challenge characters like Eve and Goofy first to hone your skills and unlock better pieces.
– Unlock Simba: Simba is considered a stronger version of Goofy, beneficial for both early and late-game coin collection.
Benefits of star coin accumulation
“Coin pooling,” while not a specific in-game action, implies the accumulation of large amounts of Star Coins. This is beneficial because Star Coins are the primary currency in Dreamlight Valley and are used for various purposes, including:
- Upgrading structures: Upgrading Scrooge’s shop, Remy’s restaurant, Goofy’s stalls, Moana’s boat, Kristoff’s stall, and Eric’s plans all require Star Coins.
- Upgrading your house: Improving your own home also needs Star Coins.
- Purchasing furniture and customization items: Duplicate furniture and other decorative items for your Valley and Isle (with the A Rift in Time Expansion) can be purchased using Star Coins.
- Buying resources: Various other shops require Star Coins to purchase materials needed for quests and building.
Effective methods for earning star coins
The most efficient way to earn Star Coins is widely considered to be pumpkin farming:
- Unlock the Forgotten Lands: You’ll need to unlock the Sunlit Plateau (10,000 Dreamlight) and then the Forgotten Lands (15,000 Dreamlight).
- Rebuild Goofy’s Stall: Rebuild Goofy’s stall in the Forgotten Lands to purchase pumpkin seeds.
- Buy and Plant Pumpkin Seeds: Each seed costs 275 Star Coins, and pumpkins sell for 664 Star Coins. Buy as many as you can afford.
- Water and Wait: Pumpkins take 4 hours to grow and need to be watered twice – once when planted and again after two hours.
- Harvest with a Gardening Buddy: Bring along a villager with the gardening skill (the higher their friendship level, the more bonus pumpkins you’ll receive) to significantly increase your yield.
- Sell at Goofy’s Stall: Sell your harvested pumpkins at any of Goofy’s stalls for a substantial profit.
- Repeat: Continuously plant, harvest, and sell pumpkins to accumulate a large number of Star Coins.
- Mining Gemstones: Explore the mines in the Sunlit Plateau, collecting and selling the various gems found there.
- Cooking and Selling High-Value Meals: Meals like Soufflé, created with ingredients bought from Remy’s pantry, can be sold for good profits.
- General Activities: Collecting wood, picking flowers, harvesting fruit, and catching fish also provide small amounts of Star Coins.
By using these strategies and effectively “pooling” your Star Coins, you can significantly enhance your Dreamlight Valley experience and acquire the resources needed for upgrades, decorating, and more.
