I play a lot of Dress To Impress, and have multiple private servers, and use them frequently for currency farming.
When money spawns, it can either be “pink” currency or “gold” currency, but since the Easter Update, there has definitely been a change in how much currency that is spawning, and also a reduction in “gold” currency.
I actually started writing this post before the new Petal Update launched, and the situation has got SO much worse.
Keep on reading to find out more…
Before the Easter Update (April 19th) launched, there were a total of 41 places around the map (both in VIP and in non-VIP) that money would spawn.
The Dress To Impress currency spawns either “pink” currency or “gold” currency,
The “pink” currency is the more common cash to spawn, and each piece of pink cash is valued at between $1 and $3 per piece of cash. While the “gold” currency is the rarer cash to spawn, and each piece of gold cash is valued at between $15 and $25.
Now, since the Halloween update that launched in October, there is a gamepass called “2 x Money”, and when you purchase that for $399 Robux, it doubles the value of every single piece of cash, so pink cash will now be worth $2 and $6, and gold cash will now be worth $30 and $50.
The DTI cash spawns on the floor, and once you pick it up, it takes one whole minute to respawn, but you can also earn cash by playing the game, and every single game you play within the main Dress To Impress will earn you between $0 and $65, depending on where you place.
As I mentioned above, before the Easter update, there were 41 places around the map that the money spawned.
The money spawned in exactly the same places around the map, and you could find money spawning inside Lana’s salon, near the non-VIP dressing rooms, around the non-VIP map, but also inside VIP too.
I know all of these facts because I made a video of the currency before the Easter update, after the Easter update but BEFORE the Petal update, and now AFTER the Petal update.
Before the Easter update dropped, here is the ratio of how many money spawn areas there were:
- 28 money spawn locations in NON-VIP
- 13 money spawn locations in VIP
After the Easter update dropped but BEFORE the Petal update dropped, here is the ratio of how many money spawn areas there were:
- 20 money spawn locations in NON-VIP
- 12 money spawn locations in VIP
That means we used to have 41 locations we could find currency around the map (before the Easter update), and since the Easter update, we now only have 32 locations we can find currency, with a decrease in 9 money spawn locations.
The Dress To Impress Currency Issues After The Petal Update
The above is what I wrote before the Petal Update launched, and the situation has got so, so much worse since the Petal update launched yesterday (26th of April).
Since the Petal Update launched in Dress To Impress yesterday, the money spawn locations has decreased massively, shockingly so, and now there are only 10 locations we can find currency.
To put that into perspective, here is how the money spawning has declined within the last three weeks:
- Pre-Easter Update: 42 money spawn locations
- After Easter Update but BEFORE the Petal Update: 31 money spawn locations
- After Petal Update: 10 money spawn locations
I cannot actually believe the stats. To lose 32 money spawn locations in 8 days is insane, and many, many players (including myself) are very disappointed in this move by the game.
Now, the location ratio of cash in non-VIP and VIP is as follows:
- 6 money spawn locations in NON-VIP
- 4 money spawn locations in VIP
Non-VIP players have lost 22 money spawn locations, and VIP players (that have paid real life money to have access to VIP and the VIP money spawn locations) have lost 9 money spawn locations.
Not only has the number of in-game currency spawn locations decreased, the DTI team has changed how the money spawns.
Until now, since the game started, the money spawn locations were always the same.
Sure, they changed up the spawn locations with each major map update, but the locations were always the same place, which made it easier to pick up currency, as you know where to look.
Since the Petal Update launched, the measly ten money spawn locations are now randomized around the map.
You still only get six money spawn locations in non-VIP and four money spawn locations in VIP, but the placements of the cash changes up every time it spawns.
Money used to spawn every 60 seconds, but now it is every 66 seconds (I recorded and used a stopwatch).
Why Is LESS Money Spawning In Dress To Impress?
To make this post as balanced as possible, I want to start by saying that the reason Dress To Impress has removed 31 money spawn locations before the Petal Update, was possibly to improve the “quality of life” within the game.
This is somewhat of a buzzword for the DTI team, and they are genuinely coming up with ways in which to improve the game to make it less laggy and buggy for players, which is to be commended, as it’s to make gameplay a more enjoyable experience.
They introduced the hide-player feature, which definitely improved lag for me on my devices, and it could be that the currency placements, and the amount of them, affected how much lag there was within the game.
However, the removal of 31 currency locations has coincided with the Petal Update where they relaunched their shop, and introduced new currency items, poses and walks.
With the Petal Update, we got a massive amount of new currency items, which is fantastic, and the total cost of every single NEW currency item is $64,100.
So, they removed 31 places we can find currency, and then launched $64,100 of new products.
Many people on Reddit are suggesting that this was a money-making move, especially as on the same day as the $64,100 of new items was launched, they introduced a massive currency pack of $40,500 in-game currency for 4500 Robux, which is over $50 of real life money.
As a player that has played for a year, I am shocked at the removal of 31 currency locations, and I am really disappointed.
If you own a private server, and you collect every piece of the 10 currency pieces every 66 seconds, it would take literally years to be able to afford the $64,100 of new currency items.
I genuinely believe this massive change will affect how many people want to play the game, as not everyone wants to spend IRL cash on in-game currency.
Yes, you don’t *have* to have the currency items, but removing practically all the money spawn locations the day you introduce $64,100 of in-game currency items is a shock, and it is a shame.
If it was done to improve lag within the game, I really hope it makes a massive, massive, massive improvement, because otherwise it’s not fair, especially to those that paid $8/£8 for VIP to get access to the more money spawn locations, and now we have just four to share amongst 13 players in a round. Crazy.
UPDATE
StudioZac just made an announcement in the Discord server, with the following, in response to MANY, many, many JUSTIFIED complaints about the shocking removal of 32 money spawn locations:
“Thank you so much for all of the feedback you shared regarding the current issues with currency spawning. We did make a few tweaks to try to better the economy, as a result of the negative economy the game has had for a while (people having way too much cash and nothing to spend it on, plus high-yield farming methods causing it to inflate). However, upon investigation thanks to your reports, it turns out we actually did tweak it too much by accident, which caused it to break. It genuinely wasnot supposed to be this low and unobtainable. This is now being corrected and will show in new servers. We will continue to monitor bug reports you send in to see if any further issues come up!“
I am glad they are listening to feedback. I am glad that they are changing the spawn locations, but this still does not sit right with me whatsoever, and it’s clear it was a money making move, and was not about improving the game experience for players – which should be at the forefront of their mind when making decisions like this.
Me having $300,000 of in-game currency (collected over one year of daily playing) does not affect the “economy” within Dress To Impress.
Money Spawn Locations Count (post announcement)
I have used my private server to count the money spawn locations now, after this update, and this is what I found:
Now, the location ratio of cash in non-VIP and VIP is as follows:
- 29 money spawn locations in NON-VIP (it was 6 before this “announcement”)
- 13 money spawn locations in VIP
The time it takes to respawn is now:
1 minute and 44 seconds – when earlier today it was 1 minute and 6 seconds, so make of what you will.
Would love to hear your comments below…
Not fairrr

They have fixed the less money spawning issue now, after everyone kicked off on social media xx
I remember i was collecting cash for the currency items cause I’m like BROKE. and then i was in bio and this person dashes around like I’m not jacking it was to fast to be true like it was faster than fast walking idk how they did it. Like it took them less than a second to go from one end of the map to the other end like HUH?!
Author
Yep, that would be an “exploiter” where they use a program to kinda hack into Roblox to bypass the settings to do banned things like dressing up in creepy outfits, running on the runway to scare people, and spawn where the currency is without walking. It’s horrible and unfair on everyone else. They usually hide their name tags too so you can’t report them 😩
Honestly I’m just going to be waiting for the cash at the end of the obby to spawn every 60 seconds 😭 I’m so happy they didn’t take any other cash locations in the intermission lobby because I just spend the intermission time to take a picture of an outfit and pick up all the cash. I don’t get why they are trying to make it even harder for players to get 64,100 for everything in the Petal Update. But at least they restored the locations in the dressing room.
Author
It sucks so much, and the blame on it affecting the economy. I don’t think they should’ve launched the x2 money gamepass, as that’s what truly affected the economy. At least with the obby money you can use deathdrop so you don’t have to complete them 😀
Dti adding some iflation in game mechanics🔥🔥🔥
On a serious note I wish they would at least warn us so I could farm ahead of the update
Author
Yeah that was uncool. Zac told us 60k wasn’t enough the night before, like how can anyone make enough money in such a small amount of time 😂 can’t believe how expensive those walks are though! I bought them all but only like two 😅
I bought one I liked the most (attitude) but I haven’t really used it, like there are not so many themes fit for it
Author
I also found people vote lower for people using the walks :/
Also it is hard to equip it, like you have to go to shop and find it, takes time plus this map is taking me so long to just walk around and find what I want…

Anddd some clothes glitch and clip when you’re standing wearing an item, like it creates holes in the clothes!
HI everyone i am making a game and i can’t decide what to add on the outside should it be a garden,beach,town,village or even something else would you guys mind voting you can also make up one that is not on the list tyyyy
Author
A beach would be fun, like the beach we used to have outside DTI during the summer update!
Ooh I’d love a village or beach! A garden would be amazing as well! I can’t wait to play your game when you release it!
HI ivy this really weird thing(pretty creepy for me)happened in the game i played i was spawn in a server of intermission with only two players somehow then i was doing the obby when the cash reappeared then there was this really weird player swooped out of nowhere wearing a pirate costume i was like the one you wore in the secret method post collected all the cash in 2 seconds and was gone i freecamed the whole map but there was no one there and i waswondering how did she fully dressed even when the server is still waiting for players?(i spawned in this map when i clicked the link of your pri server really weird (all real)
Author
It sounds like she might have been an exploiter, which is kind of like a hacker where they use programs to cheat the game. Usually they dress up with a weird spooky face but sometimes they do it to steal all the cash spawning.
Im actually so annoyed bc it took me ages with x2 money to get not even half the amount but it would take years now! And i used to set my walkspeed to a good speed and walk around in the same order so i didnt need to wait for them to respawn and i listened to a podcast ect ect BUT WHY ADD RANDOM SPAWNS DOESNT THAT ADD MORE LAG??? Also what do they mean by quality of life am i dumb? Xx
Author
I truly don’t get it. I know many people criticize game decisions, and I often roll my eyes at the complaints, as they’re often so petty, but this change is huge, and it is going to reduce the amount of people playing. They reduced the spawn locations over two updates (within 7 days of each other) so it’d be less of a shock to players, but I am so disappointed in this change. When they say quality of life, they mean the game will improve, so like adding 72 saved colours now and adding the hair filters (That you spotted), that improves the overall experience of the game. I think it could be to encourage more people to play Style Showdown too now, as you get $200 when you win, but you could waste 30 mins to lose. I’m lost for words, truly.
Zac made an announcement about it and it will spawn more phew
Author
I did add the announcement at the bottom of the post, but while there are more spawn locations now, it takes four minutes for each cash to respawn – when it used to be 66 seconds. So that’s a nightmare. It would be quicker to farm with the fewer locations respawning every 66 seconds, so it’s actually no better 😕 10 cash locations respawning every 66 seconds would give you 40 cash to collect over 4 minutes ( 4 x 10), but now you get 40 cash and have to wait 4 minutes so it’s no better 👎🏻
It is going to be so much harder to farm now im literaly BROKE 😯😯😭😭
Author
It is such a nightmare. I feel so bad for players who want a fair chance at getting the new items xx
Fr because before the update I hade 66k and now I’m at 4k and I can’t farm
Author
They have just made an announcement about this – I added it to the post above. It WAS a money making move to improve the “economy” and not to better the game for players.
Well I don’t like the money making move😠😅😅😅🤣🤣…lol

Me neither 😪
