In this article, we will guide you on how to acquire Onyx, a valuable resource, and utilize it to craft the Miracle Pickaxe Polish in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Finding Onyx in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Onyx is a rare crafting material that can be obtained while mining dark rock spots scattered throughout the Disney Dreamlight Valley map. Unlike other resources, Onyx does not have a specific location; it can be found in any region of the world, including the Vitalys Mines.
However, it’s important to note that Onyx is relatively scarce compared to other minerals. You may need to mine numerous rocks before stumbling upon even a single piece of Onyx. Patience is key, as it can be likened to the mining equivalent of Rich Soil.
Fortunately, Onyx is obtained alongside other resources. So, while searching for gems, you might get lucky and discover both Onyx and the desired mineral in one mining session.
The usage of Onyx
Onyx serves a crucial purpose in crafting within Disney Dreamlight Valley. It is an essential ingredient for creating the Miracle Pickaxe Polish, a potion that enhances the efficiency of your pickaxe. To create the Miracle Pickaxe Polish, you will need Vitalys Crystal, Onyx, and Dreamlight.
There are two variations of the Miracle Pickaxe Polish available. The standard version requires 10 Vitalys Crystals and five Onyx, while the stronger potion necessitates 25 crystals and 12 Onyx. Visit any Crafting Station, navigate to the Potion & Enchantment category, and select one of the two potions to craft the Pickaxe Polish. Once crafted, you can use it from your inventory to gain up to five chances for increased gem drops.
Furthermore, Onyx can be utilized to create Night Shards. By combining one Onyx, you can craft three Night Shards. This method proves to be efficient for farming Night Shards when there are no more holes to dig. Simply explore the different biomes, strike rocks with your trusty Pickaxe, and collect the Onyx.
Selling Onyx: A wise choice?
While players have the option to sell Onyx at Goofy’s or Kristoff’s Stall, it is recommended to refrain from doing so. Considering its rarity and potential future story quests requiring Onyx, it’s prudent to keep any Onyx you acquire instead of selling it. Selling Onyx only rewards 300 Star Coins, which pales in comparison to its long-term value.
As Disney Dreamlight Valley continues to evolve during its early access phase, the importance of Onyx may become more pronounced in future updates. Therefore, preserving your Onyx collection is a prudent decision.
