How to find ‘rich soil’ in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Disney Dreamlight ValleyA major update was made Wednesday to add a new character, questline and other features. The Lion King’s Scar. I’m sure you’ve noticed the big ‘ole elephant skull in the Sunlit Plateau — that’s Scar’s home. When you first meet the villainous lion, he’ll send you on a new story quest, which runs you through a new mine that opens up on the plateau, and eventually, you’ll need to acquire a new resource, rich soil.

The soil is necessary in creating a growth elixir that’ll needed for the rest of the quest. The problem is that rich soil isn’t dug up just like regular soil. You can’t just take your shovel and break ground anywhere. Instead, you’ll have to do a lot of farming.

The good news is that you’ll be able to do the farming anywhere, in any biome. But if you don’t already have a large farm, you’ll want to dig up a pretty sizable patch and start planting. Rich soil will drop after harvesting crops — but it’s got a pretty low spawn rate. To get enough to complete the question — 10 clumps of rich soil — I had to plant hundreds of wheat crops. Hundreds!

Here’s my tip: Goofy offers wheat seed purchaseThese are the Peaceful Meadows, which can be found down below. Disney Dreamlight Valley’s fastest growing crops, and they’ll be ready to pick in just about a minute. They’re cheap, too, so you won’t blow a ton of money on this endeavor either. Just keep doing this until you’ve got enough rich soil.

It’s even more exciting to hear that Gameloft seems to have fixed the problems that affected farming. I used the A button previously and was not able plant or harvest automatically. The process required many button clicks. But That’s been fixed, and you can easily plant and pick crops pretty fast. Even though I had to literally plant hundreds of wheat crops, it didn’t take that long.

There were moments in this venture when I tried dozens upon dozens of different crops and failed to find any good soil. I wondered if it was possible that I wasn’t doing something wrong. I knew I was right, so I kept going. This isn’t an instance where bringing about a garden-specialist buddy will double up what’s dropped — in these cases, Mickey just increased the amount of wheat I harvested, and not rich soil.
