There are a lot of different types of wood in Disney Dreamlight Valley, and they all have their own specific uses. Tropical Wood is a type of wood which is added when you purchase the Rift in Time DLC and unlock Eternity Isle.

Whether you’re wanting to complete certain quests, or simply want to craft some specific items, you’re likely to need a fair amount of Tropical Wood. It’s definitely not as common as some of the other types of wood, but thankfully there are a couple of ways to get your hands on some.

To get Tropical Wood, you’ll need to head to The Tangle on Eternity Isle. Here, you’ve got two choices, and I recommend making the most of both of them to stockpile Tropical Wood. That way, you’ll always have some on hand when you need it and you won’t have to hunt for it at a later date.

While doing your daily rounds of the Isle, make sure to keep an eye on the ground. Five Tropical Wood can be found in each of the four areas of the Wild Tangle at any time:

  • The Grasslands
  • The Promenade
  • The Grove 
  • The Lagoon

Once you’ve gathered all of the loose Tropical Wood, now you can move on to the secondary source — Evil Plants.

These thorny, malignant looking plants can be found throughout the Wild Tangle, and destroying them will provide you with better one and four Tropical Wood, with small plants giving one or two and large plants giving between 2 and four. 

Before you can destroy these plants, you’ll need to upgrade your Royal Watering Can:
