How to activate best friend glow in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Pixel Perfect update adds the “best friend glow”, a daily buff for villagers with level 10 friendship. Once activated, it improves movement and companion benefits, making routine activities around the valley quicker and more rewarding.
Players activate the glow by filling a villager’s best friend bar, which resets at 5am local time each day. While active, players can sprint without consuming meals, and the companion provides maximum bonuses across every profession rather than only its assigned role; a heart icon indicates the remaining duration.
In short
- Level 10 friends can receive a daily powerful buff.
- The glow enables unlimited sprinting while active.
- Companions grant bonuses for every profession.
Explained simply
Disney Dreamlight Valley is a life-simulation game set in a shared valley with characters from Disney and Pixar stories. Players complete tasks, explore, and build friendships with villagers; friendship levels rise through activities such as giving gifts and spending time together.
Villagers can be assigned professions such as gardening, mining or fishing, and can join the player as companions. These roles affect the rewards they provide during related activities, while daily bonuses can change how quickly players move or gather resources.
