Quick Links
Any DLC pack worth its salt (or, rather, price tag) adds a bunch of new content to a game you already enjoy, and the Skies of Azoria DLC forFae Farmmore than delivers. Grow a magic beanstalk with seeds you receive in the mail and make your way up to Skyvale to unlock a whole new mystical realm.
You’ll meet new characters across Skyvale, find new resources in most Almanac categories, unlock new outfit and wing options, and help another deity, Gusto, feel like themselves once again. There’s a lot to see in these three gorgeous, space-themed new areas!
Flutter Up To Skyvale
As soon as you have your wingsfrom the Wisp Mother in the base game of Fae Farm, you’ll receive a letter in the mail from someone namedKestrel. This mysterious letter begs you toplant magic beans near each of your homesteadsin order togrow a magic beanstalk into the sky. You’ll need towater it for three daysbefore being able to head up to the new realm above.
Once you arrive, you’ll meet Kestrel, the one who sent you the letter with the beans. He sends you on the beginning of a quest togo meetGusto, who oversees the realm of Skyvale but hasn’t been feeling much like themselves. It’s up to your farmer togrow Skyvale cropsfor them before venturinginto the Star Vaultsin search of a new resource that goes quite a long way up in Skyvale: an assortment ofStar Fragments.
In Skyvale, they’ve got plenty of new resources for you and tons of fun new options in town. you may buy a fewnew potionsthat temporarily create a trail of sparkle, flowers, and more behind your farmer. You could also shop for somenew clothing and wing options.
You’ll progress throughthree unique areasin Skyvale, each of which correspond to one of the three regions below in Azoria (Azoria Proper, the Fae Realm, and the mountains). Each area requires you togrow a new beanstalk at your home in the area below, meaning you’ll need to progress through the main game to unlock the second and third areas of Skyvale.
You’ll find:
Fast travel is available to and from all three areas using seals made of the new gems you’ll find in Skyvale, which we detail more below.
Three New Romance Options
If none of the original six did anything for you, the Skies of Azoria DLC for Fae Farm is the first time we’ve receivednew romance optionsoutside the ones in Azoria! If you’ve got your sightsset on that special someone from the sky, you canromance three of the Skyvale characters.
Romanceable Skyvale residents include:
You may or may not be able to divorce your current spouse if someone new suits your fancy. You can reset relationships in the Relationships tab, but the game doesn’t always register the change - flirt at your own risk.
All New Resources And Recipes
Six New Crops
Available fromFinn’s Fine Flora, a shop that opens in the marketplace of Windhaven first and gradually moves throughout Skyvale as you unlock new regions, you can findsix new cropsavailable totake home and grow on your farmsin Azoria below.Each area unlocks two new crops, with Cottonwood Saplings unlocking immediately on the first island.
Finn sells these items not for Florins like Holly does back in Azoria, but forresources you’ve gathered around Skyvaleas payment. Stock up on assorted food items from your resources below, since Finn asks for plenty in exchange for new seeds.
Once you get back down to Azoria, you can plant these new seeds inStar Soil Beds, available by gathering plenty of the new digging resource,Star Sand, from the purplish piles you’ll see around all three areas of Skyvale. Chop down some trees while you’re at it, and bring home the materials toplant Skyvale crops in their specialized soil beds.
Despite growing in each season, Skyvale crops rot at the beginning of a new season, so be mindful of when you plant them!

Star Vault Puzzles
Whilemost of the dungeonsyou’ve faced so far in Fae Farm have been combat-based - and you’ll certainly find your share of new Jumbles within, the biggest thing you’ll face in Skyvale are thevarious puzzles inside Star Vaults, the portals you see around town when you first arrive. They’re not active until you’re sent tofind Fallen Stars by solving the puzzlesin each vault, and even then,only a few vaults are active each day.
While that does limit how many Stars you can get per day, on the bright side, if you’re truly stuck on a puzzle (we definitely were!) you can always head home for the night, get some sleep, and check back the next day to see if it’s a better puzzle tomorrow.
Each puzzle requires you tomanually navigate a mystical cloudscapein search of a variety of progressively rarer Fallen Stars inside. These puzzles ask you tofly around, hit switches, fight Jumbles, and cast spellsto navigate, with your Fallen Star reward often either hidden or inaccessible until you’ve solved the puzzle.
You’re able to collect the previous region’s Stars in later puzzles, too. For example, you unlock Fallen Stars in Windhaven, and that’s all you’ll be able to collect there, but once you’re sent to find Rare Fallen Stars once you progress into the Starlight Isles, the puzzles in the Starlight Isles have both Fallen StarsandRare Fallen Stars. Same for the Legendary Fallen Star puzzles in Howling Heights.
Gusto Needs Your Help, And They Reward Handsomely
Like the three regions of Azoria, Skyvale also has a deity you’ll need to help. Here, that’sGusto - theycontrol the weather, and they’ve got a handful of troubles they’ll need you to help solve. Kestrel sends word and summons you to Skyvale for sake of helping this glum Gusto, and it’s up to you to help restore their spirit!
The beginning parts of the missions require you togrow Skyvale cropsback home and eithercook with themto make a fanciful new Skyvale dish we mentioned above, or just toshow Gusto the raw cropsto help remind them why Skyvale needs their magic. After that, Gusto asks you tobring them Fallen Stars.
The Stars they ask for increase with rarity as you progress through the DLC. You’ll first findFallen Starsin Windhaven, and you’ll find them again in the Starlight Isles, but you’ll also find the next rarity of stars, theRare Fallen Stars. Finally, once you get to Howling Heights, Gusto asks to see someLegendary Fallen Stars, each time asking not only for rarer Stars, butmore Stars each time.
You’ll still be able to find the previous level of Stars in the next region of Skyvale, but after finding the requisite ones for the main quests, youuse Fallen Stars from the previous region as currency at Gusto’s shop. Gusto is able to do a myriad of magical things, likewater your crops overnightfor you with a rainstorm,regrow all berries and wild plantsby the next morning so you may forage, and so much more.
Completing Gusto’s quests in each region unlocks perks exclusive to the region below it, with separate transactions required for Azoria, the Fae Realm, and the Mountains. You won’t be able to purchase these perks for an area you haven’t been to yet, meaning it’ll be a while before you can get perks for the Mountain region, but they’re well worth it once you do!
Gusto kindly gives you a few days to buy upgrades from them before moving to the next location until you finish the DLC, butthey need time to rechargetheir magic. Youcan only use these spells every few days, so be mindful of when you choose to pay Gusto a visit.
Thankfully, since Gusto controls the weather,they know the forecast- they won’t allow you to purchase a rain perk for a region where it’s already expected to rain naturally the following day, to save you needlessly paying for the perk.
