Keep an eye out for black ore rocks studded with light green gems—these are a telltale sign that Peridot is waiting to be mined. Every ore rock with this visual marker guarantees at least one Peridot, with a chance of also finding the rarer Shiny Peridot. That’s not to say you shouldn’t mine rocks that don’t have these inclusions. Mine every ore rock in each of the biomes listed above for the best chances at finding Peridots in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How to maximize your mining efforts

Mining for Peridot can be even more productive if you enlist a villager with the Mining role to join you. You can choose a role for each villager when they hit level two, and you can check which roles you gave them by interacting with them or going into the villager collection in your menu.

When you pair up with a mining buddy, they always drop extra gems or crafting materials with each mined rock. If you’re working on specific crafting recipes or friendship quests, this method ensures you’ll gather materials more quickly.

But gifting either variant will provide a significant friendship boost if you just want to build relationships with your favorite villagers. Here’s what you need to know about its value in either case:
