Disney Dreamlight Valley Ancient Vacuum – How to Make and How it Works

Crafting an Ancient Vacuum in Disney Dreamlight Valley

In the A Rift in Time expansion of Disney Dreamlight Valley, players are introduced to an exciting new feature called Timebending. This treasure-hunting technique allows players to collect Mist, a new currency that can be used to craft items and unlock new areas in Eternity Isle. One of the most intriguing additions in this expansion is the Ancient Vacuum, a special device designed to automate certain tasks in Dreamlight Valley. So let’s dive into the details of how to craft and use this peculiar device.

How to Craft the Ancient Vacuum

During the quest “The Sands in the Hourglass,” players will encounter the Timebending Table, a unique crafting station located in the Secluded Beach of Ancient’s Landing. This table allows players to convert materials obtained through Timebending into various items, including the Ancient Machines. The Ancient Vacuum is one of these machines that can be crafted.

To craft the Ancient Vacuum, players need to follow these steps:

Upgrade the Royal Hourglass to Level 1

Upgrading the Royal Hourglass in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Before players can collect the required materials to craft the Ancient Vacuum, they must first upgrade the Royal Hourglass to Level 1. This upgrade requires 5000 Mist, which can be obtained through Timebending and completing Mist Duties. Once enough Mist is acquired, players can visit the Timebending Table to upgrade the Royal Hourglass.

Gather Materials via Timebending

Once the Royal Hourglass is upgraded, players can start gathering the necessary materials for crafting the Ancient Vacuum. The materials required for the Basic Ancient Vacuum are:

  • 2000 Mist
  • 3 Ancient Magnet
  • 3 Ancient Belt
  • 2 Ancient Core (Level 1)

These materials can be obtained by Timebending on Eternity Isle and in the Valley.

Once all the materials are gathered, players can proceed to the Timebending Table to craft the Ancient Vacuum. The Timebending Table has three tiers of each Ancient Machine: Basic, Regular, and Advanced. Higher-level machines offer improved functionality and require the lower-level version as part of the crafting materials. The crafting materials needed for each tier of the Ancient Vacuum are as follows:

Basic Ancient Vacuum

  • 2000 Mist
  • 2 Ancient Core (Level 1)
  • 3 Ancient Magnet
  • 3 Ancient Belt

The Basic Ancient Vacuum can clear Night Thorns or Splinters of Fate in exchange for 10 Mist each.

Regular Ancient Vacuum

  • 3500 Mist
  • 2 Ancient Core (Level 2)
  • 5 Ancient Gear
  • 5 Ancient Pipe
  • 1 Basic Ancient Vacuum

The Regular Ancient Vacuum can clear Night Thorns or Splinters of Fate, as well as collect flowers, herbs, or spices, in exchange for 10 Mist each.

Advanced Ancient Vacuum

  • 5000 Mist
  • 2 Ancient Core (Level 3)
  • 7 Ancient Magnet
  • 7 Ancient Belt
  • 1 Regular Ancient Cooker

The Advanced Ancient Vacuum can clear Night Thorns or Splinters of Fate, collect flowers, herbs, spices, or any other items found on the ground in a biome, in exchange for 10 Mist each.

How to Use the Ancient Vacuum

How to use Ancient Vacuum

The Ancient Vacuum is an incredibly useful device that can automatically collect materials in a biome. To use the Ancient Vacuum, follow these steps:

  1. Interact with the Ancient Vacuum to display a list of items that can be auto-collected. The icons on the list indicate the number of each item available in the biome.
  2. Select the item you wish to vacuum and choose the quantity to auto-collect. The Mist cost will be displayed on the button in the bottom right corner.
  3. Click on the Collect button to consume the Mist cost and automatically collect the selected items (or clear Night Thorns or Splinters of Fate).
  4. The collected items will appear in your inventory.

It’s important to note that when placing the Ancient Vacuum in biomes on Eternity Isle, additional placement and scans will be necessary to collect items found in different areas within the same biome. For example, to collect items specific to The Oasis, the Ancient Vacuum must be placed in that area.

What Can Each Ancient Vacuum Auto-Collect

Each tier of the Ancient Vacuum has specific auto-collect capabilities based on the items available in the biome. Here’s what each version can collect:

Basic Ancient Vacuum – Collects Ephemerals

The Basic Ancient Vacuum is limited to collecting Ephemerals, such as Night Thorns in the Valley and Splinters of Fate on Eternity Isle. It can clear these objects from the biome, freeing up valuable space.

Regular Ancient Vacuum – Collects Ephemerals, wild crops, and flowers

The Regular Ancient Vacuum can collect Ephemerals like its Basic counterpart, but it can also collect wild crops (ground-level ingredients) and flowers. It expands the auto-collection options and helps gather essential resources.

Advanced Ancient Vacuum – Collects all activity items

The Advanced Ancient Vacuum is the ultimate version and can collect the widest range of items. It can gather items from previous machine tiers, as well as items dropped by the player or naturally occurring on the ground. This includes minerals, vegetables, and even wood.

Now that you know how to craft and use the Ancient Vacuum, go ahead and automate your tasks in Dreamlight Valley. Happy timebending!
