Star Path duties in Disney Dreamlight Valley are designed to challenge players and encourage exploration of the game's deeper mechanics. One such duty that often causes confusion is the task to "Craft Any Refinement Item." Unlike straightforward foraging or cooking quests, this mission requires a solid understanding of the crafting system. If you're unsure where to start, this comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know to complete this duty efficiently.

What Exactly is a "Refinement Item"?



In Disney Dreamlight Valley, a "Refinement Item" is not just any crafted object. It is a specific category of craftable materials created at a Crafting Station. These items are typically processed, upgraded versions of raw materials you gather from across the Valley and Eternity Isle.

To identify them, open any Crafting Station and navigate to the "Refined Materials" tab. Only items crafted from this specific category will count toward your Star Path progress. Common examples include Ingots, Fabric, and Glass. Crafting furniture, decorations, or paths will not fulfill this duty.

The Complete List of Eligible Refinement Items



You can craft any of the following items from the "Refined Materials" category to make progress on this Star Path duty. This list includes items from the base game and the A Rift in Time expansion:

  • Brick
  • Glass
  • Fiber
  • Rope
  • Fabric
  • Soil
  • Coal Ore
  • Iron Ingot
  • Gold Ingot
  • Bronze Ingot (Expansion)
  • Brass Ingot (Expansion)
  • Night Shard
  • Empty Vial
  • Tinkering Parts (Expansion)
  • Mechanical Parts (Expansion)
  • Electric Power (Expansion)
  • Four-Leaf Clover
  • Seaweed
  • V-EGG-etable Seed (Seasonal)
  • Pixel Shard Duplicates (Expansion)
  • Snippets (Expansion)
  • Storybook Magic (Expansion)

Pro Tips: Choosing the Best Items to Craft



While any item on the list will count, your choice of what to craft is crucial for resource management. Some items require rarematerials or vast amounts of energy, making them inefficient for thistask.



For the most efficient path to completion, follow this advice:



  • Prioritize Utility: Craft items you will actually use later. Iron Ingots are arguably the best choice. They require only 5 Iron Ore and 1 Coaland are used in countless recipes, from quests to furniture and toolupgrades. You can never have too many.
  • Consider Common Materials: Brick (5 Stone & 1 Coal) and Glass (5 Sand & 1 Coal) are also excellent options. Stone and Sand areextremely common resources, and you will need large quantities of bothbricks and glass for crafting paths and decorations.
  • Avoid Niche & Costly Items: Steer clear of expansion-specific items like Mechanical Parts or Bronze Ingots early on unless you have a surplus of those specific materials.They often require multi-step refinement themselves, making the processlonger.
  • Gather Coal Relentlessly: Notice a pattern? Nearly every refinement recipe requires Coal Ore. This makes it the most important resource for this duty. Mine allmineral deposits you see and check Kristoff's Stall regularly tostockpile coal.
  • Step-by-Step: How to Craft Your Refinement Items



  • Gather Resources: Based on your chosen item (e.g., Iron Ingots), mine for Iron Ore (found in the Forest of Valor, Glade of Trust, and Forgotten Lands) and Coal Ore (from all mining nodes).
  • Find a Crafting Station: Head to any Crafting Station. You can find one in Goofy's house in every village or build your own at Scrooge McDuck's store.
  • Select the Correct Tab: Interact with the station and select the "Refined Materials" tab (its icon looks like a gemstone).
  • Craft and Repeat: Choose your item, ensure you have the required resources, and craft it. You will need to craft a total of 15 refinement items to complete the duty. You can craft 15 of the same item or a mixture—the choice is yours!


  • By focusing on high-utility items like Iron Ingots, you can complete thisStar Path duty effectively while building a valuable stockpile ofessential materials for your future valley renovations. Happy crafting
