Tourmaline is a spectacular gemstone that players can discover while mining within two distinct biomes in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
If you’ve ever been curious about the experience of breaking rocks all day in pursuit of a glittering prize, you’re in for an adventure. However, this exploration requires a lot of patience and might come with moments of annoyance.
Whether you need this rosy-hued gem for a specific mission, for crafting exquisite items, or merely to enhance your Star Coin collection, this guide will equip you with the knowledge to locate it in DDV.
Locating Tourmaline
You’ll find Tourmaline in two specific biomes across Disney Dreamlight Valley:
- Sunlit Plateau: Requires 7000 Dreamlight for access.
- Frosted Heights: Requires 10000 Dreamlight for access.
The Sunlit Plateau is easier to reach early in the game, making it an ideal location for gem seekers. Once you’ve gained access, make sure your pickaxe is ready to go.
Mining Tourmaline
To successfully mine Tourmaline, equip your pickaxe and venture to either the Sunlit Plateau or the Frosted Heights. Look for black rock nodes scattered throughout these areas.
Upon spotting a node, swing your pickaxe to mine it. After one or two hits, you should notice pink ore protruding from the rock.
Tourmaline comes in two forms: standard Tourmaline and the more elusive Shiny Tourmaline. Patience is key, as it may take multiple attempts to find the shiny variant.
Quick Ways to Acquire Tourmaline
Bringing along a mining companion and utilizing the Miracle Pickaxe Polish can substantially enhance your gem-finding success. Having a mining companion will boost your mining efficiency, especially if they’re leveled up to 10.
- Mining companion: At level 10, they might provide you with an additional mineral, giving you the chance to retrieve two pieces of Tourmaline from a single node.
- Miracle Pickaxe Polish Elixir: This elixir grants a gathering boost for ten uses. To concoct it, you’ll need 10 Vitalys Crystal, 5 Onyx, and 500 Dreamlight.
Be aware that mining depletes your energy quickly, so have some food on hand to keep you going. Alternatively, you can purchase meals from Tiana’s Stall to keep your stamina up.
