Dinkum - Licences Guide

March 28, 2023

In Dinkum you can acquire Licences that will allow you to upgrade weapons, craft better items and ultimately improve your entire Island.

Licences become available as soon as you complete the first basic tasks of setting up a Camp Fire and Traveling Trader John's arrival to your Island.

Licences can be purchased by speaking to Fletch in the Base Tent. Licences cost Permit Points, which you can earn by completing Milestones.

Licences can be upgraded as you increase the level of your skills. For example, at Level 10 Mining, you can upgrade your Mining Licence that will allow you to craft better mining tools.

You can purchase Permit Points with your Dinks by obtaining a Dinkum Bank.

Below is a list of all the Licences you can acquire in Dinkum.
