What are refinement items in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

Various missions you’ll encounter during Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Star Path events task you with crafting refinement items. You’re not told what these actually are, though, so figuring out what to make can be pretty tricky.

Crafting is a mission you’ll run into fairly often while working through Star Paths, but most quests tied to this activity are a lot more straightforward. For this one, though, your end goal is a bit trickier to figure out, so here’s what refinement items are in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

What is a refinement item in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

Refinement items are key materials you can craft in DDV. They used to be listed under a Refined Materials category at the crafting station, but following the Pocahontas Whispers of the Wind update, this category was removed, and they were given a different name, making them a bit harder to locate.

How to find refinement items in Disney Dreamlight Valley

All refinement items are available to craft under the Materials tab at any crafting station. This is the third tab over, situated right in the middle of the top row. Every item listed under this category counts as a refined item, so you can make any item you like from it to check off Star Path tasks that ask you to make them. The Materials section is essentially just a renamed version of the Refined Materials category that existed prior to the Pocahontas update.

There are 36 refinement items you can craft at any point in DDV. Some of these assets are tied to DLCs or special events, but the vast majority are easily made using basic materials you can get from around the valley. Here are all the refinement items you can get.

• Brick

• Empty Vial

There are also a few quest-specific items that fall under this category, like the Oswaldian Pencil and High-Quality Paper. Since you can only make these items once, though, during the mission they’re tied to, we haven’t listed those here. Instead, only items that can be crafted at any point are listed.

If you’re not sure what to do with all the fresh refinement items you made, consider starting Olaf’s Grand Exhibition quest. Once you get this mission going, you can work on the museum, which requires lots of materials to finish. You can use some of your refinement items to complete the Peaceful Meadow room, the Dazzle Beach room, and additional rooms as they’re unlocked.

When drafting in a Gem, you should always pay attention to the character that you’re using in your deck. Vampire Crawlers offer 21 characters to unlock and equip, and they have their unique strengths. Also, pay attention to the weapon combinations and evolutions since the effectiveness of a specific Gem will depend on your existing deck components.
