Dream Shards

[MoniNiflheim]

So I activated "The Curse" quest and I need 5 dream and 5 night shard, I got plenty of nightshards, but I cant get anymore dreamshards? The Night Thorns arent regrowing enough for me and trying to feed the critters arent working either, I cant grow anything and I cant buy or do anything and I dont feel like restarting the game over either, not sure on what I should do, does leaving the game for a few days and come back work? Will I have more night torns?

They spawn about 10 a day but they are not guaranteed to drop a shard.

You can feed animals their favorite food and they also have a chance to drop them.

But this is the exact reason that they sent everyone 25 more and warned us in the mail that they were needed for a quest and not to use them unwisely. Crafting dreamlight with dream shards is an awful deal since dream shards are rarer. You can make 250 dreamlight in a matter of minutes.

Only time I ever crafted dreamlight was for the quest, otherwise I have used them for quests, I still need more for Merlin's lvl 8 quest too, but I barely get 10 torns a day and does the thorns not spawn in the different areas? Because so far I only seen them regrown in the peaceful medows.

They regrow in all zones.

thanks, I will wait for 1-2days to see if they have respawn in all zones, because so far I havent seen much respawn on my end, so maybe if I wait a bit more than 24h all zones might have some.

I get more luck feeding the animals though it's still tedious. Because 98% of the time they just drop layers you can use in the creator. But it's all we can do until they patch it but im nearly finished with the game already. I was stuck for hours the other night because of shards. So I fed all the animals, got like 4 shards total, then when the animals rotated later that day (I think you can feed them twice, every 12 hours). So basically, I'm getting like 8 shards every 24hrs, some but the thorns have only dropped me 1 shard the last two days. So it's quicker to just feed the animals man. It's insane they haven't patched this yet. This game is riddled with bugs.. and has a Disney logo on it, that's crazy.

The game has been out for a few days, plus it's in early access... it's insane that people are expecting so much of the game so early on.

yep, exat same issue for me, got this quest, can't buy/sell anything, every house locked because of this stupid quest, i get like 1 shard per 50 thorns, feeding animals is so annoying because you need different approaches to them, for squirrels you need to feed them peanuts to get a shard, but peanuts as i know you only get from Remy's restaurant, but its locked because of the quest like jesus why
im think im done with the game tbh

I get a lot of people keep ending up in this situation, though I wouldn't call it a buggy mess. I have like 80 dream shards. If you are not wasting them on stuff, you shouldn't ever run out.

You can get shards from squirrels with apples too.

oh its good to know thanks!

i think i just have to be very patient with this quest, all other things in the game are really good, maybe it's just a balance issue, because i see a lot of people have problems with dream shards quests

Well, you should have read the mail that accompanied the 25 extra shards they gave everyone a little more closely. That should have been a big red flag not to use them otherwise.

Also, crafting 250 dreamlight for 10 dream shards is a waste. Dreamlight is so plentiful that you don't need to shortcut to get it. 250 dreamlight can be earned doing a couple Dreamlight duties that take literally minutes in most cases.
