The D.G. Membership (short for Development Guild Membership) is the main progression system in Heartopia. It represents your overall rank, contribution, and standing within Heartopia Town.
Unlike hobby-specific levels, D.G. Membership reflects everything you do—from quests to daily activities—and directly controls what items and features you can unlock.
Raising your D.G. level is essential for accessing advanced gameplay systems, expanding shop inventories, and unlocking higher-tier crops and tools.
What Is D.G. Membership?
D.G. Membership is a global level that tracks your total contribution to the town.
- Not tied to one activity
- Increases as you earn D.G. Points (experience)
- Affects shop availability, not skill efficiency
Every action that helps the town grow contributes to your D.G. progress.
How to Level Up D.G. Membership
You earn D.G. Points by actively participating in town life. The most efficient ways include:
1. Completing Quests
- Main Story Quests
- Daily Tasks
- Weekly Tasks
These provide the largest D.G. experience rewards.
2. Doing Hobby Activities
- Gardening
- Fishing
- Cooking
- Bug Catching
Even casual activities contribute to your overall D.G. level.
3. Daily Delegations
Helping town residents with requests is a consistent way to gain experience daily.
D.G. Membership Rewards & Unlocks
Increasing your D.G. rank unlocks new items in town shops, especially at Blanc’s Gardening Store and the General Store.
D.G. Level Unlock Table
| D.G. Level | Unlocks | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1–5 | Basic Starter Tools | Hoe, Watering Can, Wheat Seeds |
| Level 6 | Carrot Seed | Purchase Carrot seeds from Blanc |
| Level 10 | Advanced Planters | Estimated increase in planting boxes |
| Higher Levels | Rare Seeds | Watermelon, Pineapple, and more |
Important: Even if you have high hobby skills, items remain locked unless your D.G. level meets the requirement.
D.G. Membership vs Hobby Levels
It’s important to understand the difference:
Hobby Levels
- Improve how you perform an activity
- Unlock abilities like tool charging and batch planting
D.G. Membership
- Unlocks what items you can buy
- Controls shop inventory availability
Example
You may have a high Gardening Level, but if your D.G. Membership is below Level 6, you cannot purchase Carrot Seeds.
How to Check Your D.G. Membership Level
You can view your current D.G. status anytime:
- Open the Main Menu
- Go to the ID Card section
This shows your current rank and progression.
