Without further ado, we're here to show you how to get Tropical Wood in Disney Dreamlight Valley and explain the spawning issue for it.

To get Tropical Wood in Disney Dreamlight Valley you must have the A Rift in Time DLC and have completed the following quests to unlock the Wild Tangle biome on Eternity Isle:

You can find Tropical Wood in Wild Tangle in The Grasslands on Eternity Isle. It will not spawn anywhere else on Eternity Isle or in your main valley - it is exclusive to the A Rift in Time DLC.

The wood will appear on the ground like any other type of wood you will find in your Valley. However, there have been a few issues with the wood spawning in Wild Tangle.

In the same letter, they've given you 220 pieces of Tropical Wood to see you through until this issue is fixed. We recommend keeping the Tropical Wood in storage until you need it for any quests in case you need it before the spawning issue is resolved.

Also, they've given you 20 Softwood, 20 Cinnamon and 1,500 Moonstone. You have until Monday, 3rd June 2024 to claim the items attached to the letter.

We will update this section when we know more about the spawning issue being fixed.
