🎖️ D.G. Guild Levels

How to earn Contribution Medals and what each level unlocks

The D.G. Guild level is Heartopia's real progression system — far more than just a number, it gates almost every hobby and feature behind specific milestones. Both free and paying players earn medals at the same rate, so the fastest path forward is simply showing up consistently rather than spending money.

🎖️ The D.G. (Developer's Guild) level is the main progression bar. Almost every core feature requires it. Free and paid players earn the same daily medals — consistency beats spending.

Tips & Steps

📋 Optimal D.G. Leveling Route

  1. Open the phone icon → find the "D.G. Member Guild" icon (star shape, top-left) to check your current Medals and upgrade cost
  2. Every day, complete 5 daily Requests first, then advance the main quest, then do other activities
  3. Don't forget to complete your weekly goals before Saturday — the rewards far exceed daily tasks
  4. Once you have enough Medals, manually tap "Level Up" — it won't upgrade automatically
  5. After leveling up, immediately check new unlocks and try them — some have time limits
