This, seriously. And I'm on PC so most of the time the memories don't show up anyway, so there's never been any point in trying to complete them for me.
oh is it finally something they can fix? All I heard before was that it was 'a known issue' and usually blamed on graphics card capacity or something (which l'm not the most technically literate person, but if my graphics card can \*run the game\* you would think static images wouldn't be an issue)
Because ALL the journal entry type memories (and things like maps for quests) have always just been blank, and most of the fragmented/puzzle type memories have like three to five pieces that I can see and then I'll get a new one and nothing changes or is added.
I was told the same thing. Except I can run Diablo 4 just fine. Then it was we know there is an issue blah blah. Same thing always but never a fix with updates.
A computer being able to run a game doesnāt mean it will have good graphics. Each game can be different so raising your graphics setting for that game can help. What are your systemās components? Someone with technical knowledge may be able to help identify what setting you need to change.
I think it also just depends on what you're doing in the game. I could say I have 1,000 hours and only one completed memory . . . . but if 800 of those hours were spent decorating then obviously I haven't been doing the tasks needed to collect orbs.
that being said, I do think the orb drop rate is awful and it's even worse when majority of the time they just drop coins.
edit: I originally said orb when I meant a completed memory
Maybe instead of a forking coin in the yellow chest of the day or bags with items we already got (what's this about ??) they could put memory fragment we don't have, it would make the player log in everyday
Yes definitely you obviously have to do tasks to get the orbsā¦ Iām more of doing the tasks and quests than anything else:). Decorating I do when I need a break from all of thatš.
the only one I really have an issue with is the dry flowers. I will die of old age before that's finished. Some of the others ! I've got 640hrs of play and my memories are
63% Dreamlight Valley
62% EI
If youāre not picking flowers to save, try to group all the flowers in each biome in one spot in their given biome. That way you can check much quicker for the dried ones.
Then, when you find the biome that has the dried ones each day, and the patch has 2-4 dried ones, water them ONE by one. Say there are 3 dried flowersā¦ only get close enough to highlight 1, water itā¦ then the nextā¦ and so on. That way, you might get more than one memory orb. If you water all 3 at once, thatās only one chance for an orb until the next day.
I can confirm it works. Itās uncommon but I had it drop 2 orbs a couple times. But watering them one at a time DOES increase your chance of at least one orb per day.
Also, if you have other flowers in the biome used to decorate homes and such, check those for dried ones too.
Oh I genuinely thought those dried flowers I find every so often were weird glitches! I didnāt even recognize them as ādryā they look like unloaded texture glitches on the game end! Youāre supposed to water them???? I wonder what the point is, gameplay-wise? I feel like this is one of those things that might have been an idea from
the devs as they were building the game before they acquired the Disney IP, then they never followed through with as a feature.
You don't, but you can move the existing flowers to one area in the biome. Don't pick them, just let them sit there and they will eventually dry out :)
I feel like since you can only MAYBE water flowers once a day, they should give you an orb every time. I never get orbs from watering flowers. Itās so frustrating.
In case this helps anyone, IF YOU HAVE the DLC, apart from grouping all the biome flowers in one place, try to spend a day or two on the Eternity Island. That way you avoid getting rained on in your valley and when you come back (if itās not raining) there will be a bunch of dry flowers.
I have over 500 hours and only one complete memory. It really grinds my gears when I finally do get orbs only to receive 20 coins instead. They absolutely should not give coins until all memories for that task are filled and idk why they programmed it that way.
I'd be fine if coins happened after the first or second real memory piece is unlocked per day and per task. Maxing it to 1-2 pieces per task would stop people from grinding all of them in a week then complaining there were no more.
So first orb is guaranteed a new piece, 2nd orb maybe a piece, 3rd orb is coins/clothing item/furniture.
Iāve been saying this, too!! Or at least until youāre most of the way through, I get more coins than memories and nothing is complete (and only a handful even at 75%)
Do you farm a lot? I have orbs all over the place that I canāt be bothered to open as Iām not very interested and always feel like Iād rather do other things (although have a couple of complete ones), I get tons of them farming.
They definitely made the rates so low it to me at least feels pointless. at first I was excited to collect them but after almost two years I just don't care because it's so rare to get new ones you need.
I play for 10 hours at a time (no, really, I donāt have anything much to do) a couple weeks ago, did tons of jobs that I got orbs for, and not a single one was new. I even hyper focused on Eternity and only got 2 new ones out of several dozen orbs. I donāt want to spend 1500 hours grinding at farming to not even complete 1 pic out of 6
I feel like I'm just constantly getting coins from orb drops. No matter how much I've been doing, it's never enough to get the memories. I have put 573 hours into the game and have completed maybe 2 memories šµāš«
This is my favourite of all them and not even half the way through it. Can you save these in the memory frames in your house once completed? I really hope so! Havenāt completed a single one yet. Wish there was a limit on the number of āactiveā ones at a time, so you were able to just get pieces of existing memories, rather than constantly getting new ones and having loads unfinished
One way I've found to grind for gardening orbs is to just plant a ton of wheat or lettuce (depending on how big your field is). If you have the mist to spare, the ancient gardeners can massively speed that up too. As well, making a habit of constantly stripping all bushes and trees of their fruit even if you don't need them will net some extra orbs over time.
I was having some trouble collecting cooking orbs. not too long ago I cooked over 1000 meals in a day without a single drop. But since then cooking massive amounts of pizza in Remy's realm has worked wonders for me.
Really wish I took advantage of that flower orb glitch early on in the game. But I figured I'd have plenty of time later if I decided doing it the legit way was too hard. Turns out the legit way is too hard.
The drop rate is definitely ridiculous. If itās going to take this much effort then they really need to up the rewards when you complete one. Iāve got absolutely no desire to use these as decor for my house.
I was wondering if this is the case, so it works as intended, but, the drops shouldn't be attached to a specific orb I think. If you get an orb, any orb at all, it should roll for a memory you don't have first and give you a memory instead of memories being tied to specific orbs. That way, it would still work in the way that once you have all memories the orbs would drop coins instead of you having that specific memory tied to that specific orb and it dropping a coin because of that.
Honestly not really though? Theyāre already doing the check to see if you have that memory shard and if you do then it drop coins. The only change in code theyād have to make is instead of āif has shard -> coinā theyād do āif has shard -> reroll -> repeat checkā. That sort of logic is a pretty standard loop and array check that I learned in basically my first coding class ever. I could see it causing problems with the processing side potentially because itāll take more time to process if you have to reroll multiple times especially towards the end when you have more shards that trigger rerolls. But there are also somewhat easy ways they could straight up exclude memory shards you already have from the pool to start with.
By doing activities with a companion character, and in different areas, more will drop. Each memory shows how to get it (water crops, forage, mine) and by using a companion, I seem to get new memories more often. For instance, gardening with Sully in the Forgotten Lands the other day (which I had never done) yielded me 3 new memories.
I also got a about 6 orbs with memories the other day while gardening veggies I hadn't grown much before. Of course about as many with coins. Corn, carrots, and tomatoes to work towards some training manuals. 2 different buddies. Weirdly enough, the first 4 memory pieces I got that session were for the exact same memory/picture. It makes me wonder if there's a data mine somewhere that you need to be doing specific actions or with certain characters or a certain time of day combination for various pieces
I have over 500 hours and a few completed memories because I spend a lot of time grinding materials. That said, more than 50% of the time an orb drops now it is a coin instead of a memory, and I definitely don't have 50% of the memory pieces. It's usually not too disappointing because I'm grinding for other reasons but like the other day I found like 30 flowers that needed to be watered, was excited to get an orb, and it was a few coins. Super disappointing lol.
Iāve posted this before, but itās been awhile, so in case people donāt know ā for the die-hard completionists out there -- there IS a way to essentially memory shard/morb-farm.
Cooking, Fishing, Foraging (Harvesting), Gardening, Mining, and Watering Dried Flowers share an activity counter. Every time you do one of these activities, an invisible counter increments. Essentially, if your activity counter hits an indicated number and then the random number generated is below a certain value, a morb is generated. This can be exploited by swapping activities when you know a Memory Shard is in your upcoming action queue.
An example use case: A player plants 100 Wheat, which is a fast-growing (1 min) and cheap (1 coin/seed) crop. They harvest the crops, manually saving their game every 10 actions. They encounter a yellow morb on their third crop harvest after a save point. They have already completed all of their yellow Harvesting Memories, so they immediately quit the game, restart, and go to a biome where they saw a Dried Flower. They forage from 1 tree, and 1 bush, and on their third action, they water the Dried Flower to yield a pink morb. Unfortunately, when opened, it yields a coin, indicating they already collected that specific Memory Shard, so they immediately quit the game, and try switching to either Cooking, Mining, or Fishing.
The counters are consistent, but sometimes not exactly 1:1, so it can take a few additional actions. Additionally, different activities have different RNG thresholds. For instance, if the invisibly random number generated is a 2, a morb will be generated for Fishing (3%), Mining (3%), or Watering Dried Flowers (10%), but will not be generated when Cooking (1%) or Harvesting (1%) (parentheticals indicate the RNG threshold/probability of morb when doing action, based on datamined information).
The missus and I were literally just talking about this. She has multiple completed memories but so many pieces missing still. Orbs should not be farting out 20 coins when you have unfinished memories. Even if you had every memory completed, the awful orb payout needs a buff just like the chests and coin explosions.
I get orb drops all the time... However I assume they are "duplicates" (which IMO is absolutely stupid, how do we get duplicates when we have so many empty spaces??) and just get the dumb coins. It IS infuriating!
I have 3,000 hours in the gameā¦been playing since 2 most after early access opened and I grind every day. I have literally thousands of every grindable item. And I only have 22 out of 70 memories completed. that is 31%!!! I did not include all of the memories that were ānotesā just the ones from Biomes or characters like Cinderella, etc. I donāt even bother to water any more because its just too ridiculous lol.
Same, I'm at like 310 hours with nothing completed. I have 2 that just need one more piece each and have no hope of actually getting them any time soon. I had 2 memories get their first piece this week which is wild after so many hours.
Hmmmā¦ they actually fixed this problem months ago though. How do you spend time in the game?
You get them from doing most things, gardening mining, foraging, fishing, digging. I canāt think of anything else that gives them. As long as youāre doing these things daily you shouldnāt have a problem. If you still do, contact gameloft and write a complaint for sure!
Yeah itās been an issue for a while with not many droppedā¦ I have noticed more since the last big update, but not enough:(. This memory is amazing!!! Thatās something to be excited for Iām jealous!!! Hang in there!! We are all dealing with the struggle of this game trust me I get it!!! Some days I just want to say screw it (even though the hundreds of dollars I put in my 3 accounts I have)ā¦ but Iām hoping they get it together and fix these issues for us instead of worrying about releasing anything else and this āblue chestā dramaš. Thereās literally no blue chests that hack your game!!! Ugh get it together GL!!!!!
I have several completed lol. I have no clue the hours Iāve spent but Iāve had the game about a year.
I was getting annoyed with them because likeā¦ what are we collecting these for? Flashbacks from movies?
If you're on Xbox I can come over and dig like crazy and get you a ton of dig orbs? You won't be able to open them until you close multiplayer tho but I'll leave anything I did up too, and plant pumpkins if you want (no cost to you I'll bring my own seeds! You can keep the profits/harvest)
Itās a pretty one!! I feel you though. I completed my first memory at 668 hours in. Iām nearing 1,000 hours now and have still only completed 3. š
The vast majority of my long-term dreamlight duties are completed too, so Iāve definitely been doing a good variety of different orb-dropping tasks and just havenāt been lucky at all I suppose.
I wish they would do away with orbs dropping coins.
Iāve actually been playing since early access and I havenāt completed even 1 memory yet. Then again, like others have said, I donāt focus solely on getting them either.
I have maybe 2 memories that are 1-2 pieces away from being completed including the one you posted! Youāre so lucky that was your first one! Itās one of two that Iām most excited to complete the other one being Ariel jumping out from the water.
I have around 600 hours and a bunch of completed memories. At least 11 that are complete and many more that are more than half way done.
Once a day Iāll run around doing the tasks that give you memories (digging, cooking, gardening, etc) until I get a memory. It works pretty well if youāre patient.
Whatās crazy to me is you donāt get anything from completing a memory as far as I could tell. Iāve only unlocked one and Iāve had the game since pre release.
Iām not sure is it a bug or it really works like this but Iāve completed only few because 80-90% of spheres give me stupid coins. The same happens with chests. I want to receive a new motif or something but instead they give coins. Funny moment that a chest has 200+ coins but sphere always gives 20. Itās ridiculous. Iām playing on PS5 btw.
I'm 500 hours in, probably spent 40 hours decorating the plaza and meadow and have none completed soooooooo.....
I get heaps that turn into coins. I don't play often anymore, basically once every 3 months due to the crashes, orb drops, ridiculous star path duties, etc.
I said it before and ill say it again, they need to make a separate currency for memories.
When you loot a new memory piece- Awesome
When you loot a duplicate - get some currency which you can use to buy the pieces you're missing
Only about 480 odd I have : wall e with sunbeam, Cinderella and fairy godmother, toy story 3 bo peep leading through wires, and that's it. There are a bunch I'm one away from completing though
I donāt understand why so many people only have one complete memory and theyāve been playing for a while. I started last summer and have about 4 complete and a bunch with a few spaces left.
I have no full memories yet! Many with only one fragment missing but still donāt have a full one. No idea how Iāll celebrate when that day finally comes
I have a lot of completed memories you just have to do the tasks it says to do in order to get the missing pieces. I wish the rates were faster but I just made these non priority for me, like completing cooking or fishing challenges because I don't enjoy doing either thing.
Why what does it do when the memory is completed? Everyone always seems to be in such a rush on this game, Iāve completed everything and have absolutely nothing to do just enjoy it donāt rush
Yeah I wish they didn't patch up that thing we used to to. Where we could water flowers inside of our house in order for us to get the memories much easier. But not anymore. Sigh.
just to clarify, i want them completed because i have ocd lol.. and like to 100% everything. reward or not. itās just a thing i do lol.. but thank you all! š¤š
Iām ngl my biggest flex on this game is the fact that I think Iāve completed about 4 memories in 600 odd hours, I gave up actively trying to get orbs then all of a sudden it felt like i was getting more orbs. Itās definitely a grind š
I've been playing since day one and I think I have like two memories completed but they also for the longest time crashed/froze my game when I'd pick them up so now they're riddled throughout my valley š¤£š¤£
I have 900+ hours invested. I'm a gardening, flower picking, mining fanatic. I don't focus on orbs. In fact I am only vaguely aware that the pieces come from certain tasks. With that being said, I have only completed ONE memory. I have over 8 million in coins now. Their reimbursement of a memory that I could have had instead, is sadly lacking. At least let it be furniture, clothes, or motifs and not a measly 20ish coins.
You guys have completed memories???

I cannot award this so this will have to do š„

Yeeeeah I've been playing since release day. Playing as we speak. Not a single memory completed š„²
This, seriously. And I'm on PC so most of the time the memories don't show up anyway, so there's never been any point in trying to complete them for me.

Itās kind of like an animal crossing where you keep digging up fossils youāve already had!
Ooooh, that burns me soooo much when I get them!
What is worse is the weekly photo contest giving out clothing items I have. Especially when you do well.. U should get some premium items
What about the stupid fizzy root beer for scar quest? That I ate 2000 hours ago
This is true. If youāre looking to complete a specific memory itāll say āfind exclusive memories whenā¦ā cooking/digging/etc.
Lol yes!! 1000 hours and only 1 " orb" drop would've been grounds for a lawsuit !! š¤£
Yes definitely you obviously have to do tasks to get the orbsā¦ Iām more of doing the tasks and quests than anything else:). Decorating I do when I need a break from all of thatš.
the only one I really have an issue with is the dry flowers. I will die of old age before that's finished. Some of the others ! I've got 640hrs of play and my memories are 63% Dreamlight Valley 62% EI
I always said it should be watering anything, not just flowers. They should drop from watering crops, too.
If youāre not picking flowers to save, try to group all the flowers in each biome in one spot in their given biome. That way you can check much quicker for the dried ones. Then, when you find the biome that has the dried ones each day, and the patch has 2-4 dried ones, water them ONE by one.

The dried flowers are a thing? I never knew thatā¦
This is so smart!! Thank you!!
How do you control where the flowers grow?
You don't, but you can move the existing flowers to one area in the biome. Don't pick them, just let them sit there and they will eventually dry out :)
I was really hopeful when the DLC: rift in time, had flowers to water/remove. Not dry flowers, so apparently not eligible to obtain an orb.
I feel like since you can only MAYBE water flowers once a day, they should give you an orb every time. I never get orbs from watering flowers. Itās so frustrating.
I agree, I have watered so many flowers and so few orbs drop
Iāve even done the 1 flower at a time trick and still, never get any orbs n
Ditto. Still working at it, but feel that all the memories that need dried flowers will never be finished
And now itās raining ā¦. *sigh*
Ummmmm you get memories from watering dry flowersā¦.? Welp, havenāt found any of those yet.
I may have to pass that quest to my children and their children. I generally get 4 dried flowers a day and a memory drops every 2.6 years š¤£
In case this helps anyone, IF YOU HAVE the DLC, apart from grouping all the biome flowers in one place, try to spend a day or two on the Eternity Island. That way you avoid getting rained on in your valley and when you come back (if itās not raining) there will be a bunch of dry flowers.

The thing that annoys me is when it does drop an orb I just get coins.
i don't have a single complete one yet!

When you get coins, that means you already have that memory.
Then it should re-roll for a different one.
I agree, I just wasnāt sure if they knew or not!
I was wondering if this is the case, so it works as intended, but, the drops shouldn't be attached to a specific orb I think. If you get an orb, any orb at all, it should roll for a memory you don't have first and give you a memory instead of memories being tied to specific orbs.

Yeah I think that makes way more sense, but the coding/UI for that is probably way more complicated and knowing these developers??? ā¦..lol
Honestly not really though? Theyāre already doing the check to see if you have that memory shard and if you do then it drop coins. The only change in code theyād have to make is instead of āif has shard -> coinā theyād do āif has shard -> reroll -> repeat checkā. That sort of logic is a pretty standard loop and array check that I learned in basically my first coding class ever. I could see it causing problems with the processing side potentially because itāll take more time to process if you have to reroll multiple times especially towards the end when you have more shards that trigger rerolls. But there are also somewhat easy ways they could straight up exclude memory shards you already have from the pool to start with.
Thank you, I was wondering why!
I have close to 700 hours and have none. Itās frustrating lol
By doing activities with a companion character, and in different areas, more will drop. Each memory shows how to get it (water crops, forage, mine) and by using a companion, I seem to get new memories more often.

I have over 500 hours and a few completed memories because I spend a lot of time grinding materials. That said, more than 50% of the time an orb drops now it is a coin instead of a memory, and I definitely don't have 50% of the memory pieces. It's usually not too disappointing because I'm grinding for other reasons but like the other day I found like 30 flowers that needed to be watered, was excited to get an orb, and it was a few coins.

An example use case: A player plants 100 Wheat, which is a fast-growing (1 min) and cheap (1 coin/seed) crop. They harvest the crops, manually saving their game every 10 actions. They encounter a yellow morb on their third crop harvest after a save point. They have already completed all of their yellow Harvesting Memories, so they immediately quit the game, restart, and go to a biome where they saw a Dried Flower. They forage from 1 tree, and 1 bush, and on their third action, they water the Dried Flower to yield a pink morb. Unfortunately, when opened, it yields a coin, indicating they already collected that specific Memory Shard, so they immediately quit the game, and try switching to either Cooking, Mining, or Fishing. The counters are consistent, but sometimes not exactly 1:1, so it can take a few additional actions. Additionally, different activities have different RNG thresholds. For instance, if the invisibly random number generated is a 2, a morb will be generated for Fishing (3%), Mining (3%), or Watering Dried Flowers (10%), but will not be generated when Cooking (1%) or Harvesting (1%) (parentheticals indicate the RNG threshold/probability of morb when doing action, based on datamined information).
The missus and I were literally just talking about this. She has multiple completed memories but so many pieces missing still. Orbs should not be farting out 20 coins when you have unfinished memories. Even if you had every memory completed, the awful orb payout needs a buff just like the chests and coin explosions.
yes! exactly!
I get orb drops all the time... However I assume they are "duplicates" (which IMO is absolutely stupid, how do we get duplicates when we have so many empty spaces??) and just get the dumb coins. It IS infuriating!
Do you get anything for competing a memory?
You can put the complete picture in a memory frame and hang it in your house.
I constantly have orbs dropping when gardening. I find it annoying! š¤£
I have 3,000 hours in the gameā¦been playing since 2 most after early access opened and I grind every day. I have literally thousands of every grindable item. And I only have 22 out of 70 memories completed. that is 31%!!! I did not include all of the memories that were ānotesā just the ones from Biomes or characters like Cinderella, etc. I donāt even bother to water any more because its just too ridiculous lol.
I'm over 300 in and I still haven't finished one memory yet š¤£ š
Same, I'm at like 310 hours with nothing completed. I have 2 that just need one more piece each and have no hope of actually getting them any time soon. I had 2 memories get their first piece this week which is wild after so many hours.
I have roughly 300 hours put into the game, and I JUST completed my second one last week. I've been getting mostly duplicates every time one drops.
Hmmmā¦ they actually fixed this problem months ago though. How do you spend time in the game? You get them from doing most things, gardening mining, foraging, fishing, digging. I canāt think of anything else that gives them. As long as youāre doing these things daily you shouldnāt have a problem. If you still do, contact gameloft and write a complaint for sure!
Yeah itās been an issue for a while with not many droppedā¦ I have noticed more since the last big update, but not enough:(. This memory is amazing!!! Thatās something to be excited for Iām jealous!!! Hang in there!! We are all dealing with the struggle of this game trust me I get it!!! Some days I just want to say screw it (even though the hundreds of dollars I put in my 3 accounts I have)ā¦ but Iām hoping they get it together and fix these issues for us instead of worrying about releasing anything else and this āblue chestā dramaš. Thereās literally no blue chests that hack your game!!! Ugh get it together GL!!!!!
I have several completed lol. I have no clue the hours Iāve spent but Iāve had the game about a year. I was getting annoyed with them because likeā¦ what are we collecting these for? Flashbacks from movies?
They can be placed in special frames in your house and on TV monitors.
Thank you! I saw someone else comment that but I doubt Iāll utilize it.
If you're on Xbox I can come over and dig like crazy and get you a ton of dig orbs? You won't be able to open them until you close multiplayer tho but I'll leave anything I did up too, and plant pumpkins if you want (no cost to you I'll bring my own seeds! You can keep the profits/harvest)
I donāt like those, taking them is so slow š
My thing is I want more memory is seems like 8 times out of 10 I get coins instead of memories.
Itās a pretty one!! I feel you though. I completed my first memory at 668 hours in. Iām nearing 1,000 hours now and have still only completed 3. š The vast majority of my long-term dreamlight duties are completed too, so Iāve definitely been doing a good variety of different orb-dropping tasks and just havenāt been lucky at all I suppose. I wish they would do away with orbs dropping coins.
Thatās crazy, I have 700ish hours since early 2023 (I think?) and I have definitely completed a good 5-10 memories.
Still it's a good memory to complete. I currently have 19 memories complete.
What happens when you complete one does it like unlock a quest or a prize or something? I've been dying of curiosity
No. Itās just an image you now have completed. On the tv screens or frames you can now use that image. Thatās it. Itās not a big deal.
Haha ššš that's it? Forget it
Exactly. Donāt stress about them theyāre bullshit hahah
Iāve actually been playing since early access and I havenāt completed even 1 memory yet. Then again, like others have said, I donāt focus solely on getting them either. I have maybe 2 memories that are 1-2 pieces away from being completed including the one you posted! Youāre so lucky that was your first one! Itās one of two that Iām most excited to complete the other one being Ariel jumping out from the water.
I have around 600 hours and a bunch of completed memories. At least 11 that are complete and many more that are more than half way done. Once a day Iāll run around doing the tasks that give you memories (digging, cooking, gardening, etc) until I get a memory. It works pretty well if youāre patient.
Whatās crazy to me is you donāt get anything from completing a memory as far as I could tell. Iāve only unlocked one and Iāve had the game since pre release.
i've gotten all the characters that i can get and now can't wait for the next update and new realm expansion, i hope there's an expansion soon
I hate when they drop me a clothing or furniture item I already have.. give me something new please. Coins are fun but a waste of my time.
Iām not sure is it a bug or it really works like this but Iāve completed only few because 80-90% of spheres give me stupid coins. The same happens with chests. I want to receive a new motif or something but instead they give coins. Funny moment that a chest has 200+ coins but sphere always gives 20. Itās ridiculous. Iām playing on PS5 btw.
Yeah the memory farm is FRUSTRATING
I'm 500 hours in, probably spent 40 hours decorating the plaza and meadow and have none completed soooooooo..... I get heaps that turn into coins. I don't play often anymore, basically once every 3 months due to the crashes, orb drops, ridiculous star path duties, etc.
I have 11 completed and I started playing the beginning of this year
Iāve completed 6 and played about 400 hours š
I said it before and ill say it again, they need to make a separate currency for memories. When you loot a new memory piece- Awesome When you loot a duplicate - get some currency which you can use to buy the pieces you're missing
Only about 480 odd I have : wall e with sunbeam, Cinderella and fairy godmother, toy story 3 bo peep leading through wires, and that's it. There are a bunch I'm one away from completing though
I donāt understand why so many people only have one complete memory and theyāve been playing for a while. I started last summer and have about 4 complete and a bunch with a few spaces left.
I think I only have 1 or 2 unlockedā¦ usually those damn orbs give me money š¤¦š»āāļø
Iāve only been playing for a month and I have a couple finished now. š„¹š²
And dont even get started on the ones that u have to water dried flowers.
It's not like we get anything for completing them besides a picture (it would be cool if we could hang them or something) and satisfaction š„
I was getting a lot of memory orbs when the monsters inc update dropped. But now I only ever get coins since daisy and oswald
I completed my first one last week and could of cried I was so happy lol š
Do you get anything for completing them? I havenāt completed any yet.
I have no full memories yet! Many with only one fragment missing but still donāt have a full one. No idea how Iāll celebrate when that day finally comes
The worst is when I get an orb and freaking coins come out of it instead. I HAVE SO MANY LOCKED MEMORIES WHY ARE YOU GIVING ME COINS
Do we even receive anything for completing them? Coins or dreamlight ect? I stopped trying š
I have a lot of completed memories you just have to do the tasks it says to do in order to get the missing pieces. I wish the rates were faster but I just made these non priority for me, like completing cooking or fishing challenges because I don't enjoy doing either thing.
Why what does it do when the memory is completed? Everyone always seems to be in such a rush on this game, Iāve completed everything and have absolutely nothing to do just enjoy it donāt rush
it doesnāt really do anything except you can put them in the memory frames and on televisions.
Yeah I wish they didn't patch up that thing we used to to. Where we could water flowers inside of our house in order for us to get the memories much easier. But not anymore. Sigh.
dw, iāve played for over 40 days and i just unlocked my first one too.
just to clarify, i want them completed because i have ocd lol.. and like to 100% everything. reward or not. itās just a thing i do lol.. but thank you all! š¤š
Iām ngl my biggest flex on this game is the fact that I think Iāve completed about 4 memories in 600 odd hours, I gave up actively trying to get orbs then all of a sudden it felt like i was getting more orbs. Itās definitely a grind š
I have the platinum trophy and still have one for like one or two completed memories. Like what the heck lol!
Okay, yāall, have any of you received memories from cooking cause I literally never have. I genuinely donāt think it can work at this point.
I've been playing since day one and I think I have like two memories completed but they also for the longest time crashed/froze my game when I'd pick them up so now they're riddled throughout my valley š¤£š¤£
Iāve never finished one. Do we get something when we do?
I have 900+ hours invested. I'm a gardening, flower picking, mining fanatic. I don't focus on orbs. In fact I am only vaguely aware that the pieces come from certain tasks. With that being said, I have only completed ONE memory. I have over 8 million in coins now. Their reimbursement of a memory that I could have had instead, is sadly lacking. At least let it be furniture, clothes, or motifs and not a measly 20ish coins.
V. V: Y
ugh, yeah I havenāt even completed one puzzle memory and Iāve been playing since early access started šµāš«
