yeah, I screwed up the rock bit for the first two days
one of the first tips in the game is about eating fruit to smack things, which is incredibly misleading
― mh, Thursday, 14 May 2020 23:30 (three years ago) link
Even if you smash a rock, it will come back the next day somewhere else! but maximize your rock bashing with a flimsy or stone ax or shovel (and no fruit consumption) to get up to 8 things (the most I can ever get is 6). Having a toilet for fruit pooping is my #1 goal right now - I used one on a friend's island after eating 10 apples and the music was hilarious. Her's fell out of a tree.
I had a ridiculously proud moment yesterday when I actually caught a wasp instead of letting it sting the crap out of me.
― Jaq, Thursday, 14 May 2020 23:55 (three years ago) link
Theres a trick to wasp catching. Shake every tree while holding a net, facing the tree (ie facing "north" I guess?). If a waspnest pops out, you'll automatically face the right way when you startle, just hit A when that happens and you'll catch the wasp easily.
Other method (which does not catch the wasp but at least shoos it off) is to pop a popper in its face.
To get the most out of rocks, dig a hole or 2 behind you so oyu dont bounce away. You wanna do this especially in case you get the bell rock of course.
When you dig up that glowy spot? Re-bury the bells in the glowy hole, and you get a bell tree 3 days later.
And one more tip some may not know: when crafting, hit A a few times instead of once, and it speeds the damn thing up.

I finally got my attic room today (dear god, the final loan is in the millions - I wont have my basement til years end at this rate, and I now recall I never did get a basement in AC new leaf or wild world, sigh).

Very cool room, Trayce! Thanks for the tips too.
I've got so many flowers I blow up 3 watering cans/day - if you customize, will they last longer?
― Jaq, Friday, 15 May 2020 01:27 (three years ago) link
The hole digging trick for rock smacking is what I was referring to, it’s probably best to look up a video of someone doing it, you gotta position yourself just right.I usually just book it when wasps attack and get far enough away to pull my net out and nab em, I still get stung sometimes though.

two tricks my kid taught me: holding down the slingshot button so you you can see when the present balloon is in your sights instead of just firing over and over, and tapping down on the joystick to jump to the nook miles you’ve just received instead of scrolling down through all the nook miles and inevitably accidentally scrolling past it

xps you wanna rebury a 10k bag as you get 30k a few days lateri believe that's the max

How do you get a 10k bag, though?

I’m still in first grade over here
― porlockian solicitor (Karl Malone), Friday, 15 May 2020 14:40 (three years ago) link
The way I know: have between 10 - 20k in your pockets already. Dig up shiny spot. Go to pockets. Go to the bells thing in the lower left and A. It will let you make a 10k bag. Do that and then plant it. Don't put the original shiny spot bells away until after you plant the 10k bag.
― Jaq, Friday, 15 May 2020 14:45 (three years ago) link
ah sweet thanks ||||||||!
― nxd, Friday, 15 May 2020 14:51 (three years ago) link
i'm pretty sure as long as you have more than 10k bells on you you can always take a 10k sized bag out of it and put it in your pocket, then bury that
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Friday, 15 May 2020 15:05 (three years ago) link
nice, thanks! i will give that a shot next time!
― porlockian solicitor (Karl Malone), Friday, 15 May 2020 15:37 (three years ago) link
so.. you should never bury less than 10k, basically?
― Nhex, Friday, 15 May 2020 21:27 (three years ago) link
Yeah, 10k is ideal
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Friday, 15 May 2020 23:23 (three years ago) link
And from what I can tell there’s a new glowing spot once a day. Also a money rock
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Friday, 15 May 2020 23:24 (three years ago) link
Holy shit I never knew you could bury OTHER money in the hole!!! I must try this.
Guys I have SO many duplicates of DIY recipe cards does anyone wanna trade? Im looking for any recipes for 1x2 size tables if such a thing exists. And the acoustic guitar. And the ironwood dresser and cutting board.
I have dups of some southern hem seasonal stuff like the tree's bounty lamp, mush stool, and acorn pochette. If anyone wants to drop by today I have it all on tables at my flea market right by the airport so can open my gates a bit later.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Saturday, 16 May 2020 00:03 (three years ago) link
Oh I need the tea table too!
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Saturday, 16 May 2020 00:06 (three years ago) link
Oh man, I am totally looking for the ironwood dresser and cutting board as well. I will go through my dupes and try to stop by.
What exactly are you supposed to do with hybrid flowers once you have them? Dig them up and sell them? Non-hybrid yellow tulips are taking over too.

The only duplicate DIYs I've got are the sleigh, classic pitcher, cat tower, and log bench - let me know if you want any. I see the ironwood low table is a 1x2 but that's the only one of what I've got

No worries! Your son accidentally stole a 99k bell bag another friend was dropping on the beach for me hahaha. But he gave it back :P

Afaict my daughter lost interest in this game really quickly, which is disappointing. I know there's a bunch of stuff she hasn't unlocked yet, and from what I can tell she only has a 1 star island (which is bad?), but she seems reluctant to grind away to get enough bells to build enough stuff to better her rating and so on. I had ordered the game for her pre-lockdown, but I was still really hoping it would have kept her busier. I guess it's just not as compelling as inane Tik Tok clips.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 22:26 (three years ago) link
I know Trayce! I was watched him do that, I asked him if he was sure that the bells were meant for him and I told him he'd better give them back! Sorry about that, he didn't mean to steal, he genuinely thought they were meant for him,
Was I supposed to tip you? Sorry but I don't know the etiquette of selling turnips on other peoples islands
― nate woolls, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 22:34 (three years ago) link
Noooo, I dont know why my other frind (the guy dressed as a widower in the big black hat) was doing that but I gather he was making millions from turnip selling - hes been playing it a bit obessively. He made like 5 trips back and forth to offload all his neeps, lord knows how he'd been storing them.
But nah my only rules are basically leave a penny take a penny with the flea market I had set up there - take anything, feel free to leave something in its place.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 22:41 (three years ago) link
so i visited Jaq today and she had Redd (he is NOT showing up for me!?) so i tested whether a visitor can also get a real painting if the islander already bought one.They can’t :(
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 21 May 2020 09:15 (three years ago) link
that's odd. why wouldn't you be able to buy a real painting if he has more than one in stock? does he just say you're not able to buy those items?
― megan thee macallan 18 year (||||||||), Thursday, 21 May 2020 09:20 (three years ago) link
Only one of his offerings is real - the rest are always fake. I guess I just wondered if itd reset if I was a visitor. Jaq had already bought the real painting :)
(I looked at it and was told she'd bought it and did I want to look at it before it was packaged up)
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 21 May 2020 10:41 (three years ago) link
not true!

Oh wow I wasn't sure I even got a real one - almost bought the portrait of the guy made of produce! Redd didn't even get off his boat yesterday, I spotted his boat when I was running around shaking trees.
Btw thx Trayce for the wasp-catching advice, i haven't been stung once since i started the north-facing shakes!
― Jaq, Thursday, 21 May 2020 14:11 (three years ago) link
my only thought about Redd:
where the fuck is he??? i've logged in almost every day and night, and have only seen him once.
my museum is just the mona lisa. i guess maybe it'll stay that way!

Redd shares a chance with the other special visitors (Gulliver, Leif, etc.) so you don't know what day he'll show up, if at all
― Nhex, Thursday, 21 May 2020 15:17 (three years ago) link
yeah, i read that article the other day! it just seems like i'm having bad luck .
so, here’s the tea on #ACNH NPC spawnsevery week, you’re guaranteed to get Saharah, Kicks and Leif on weekdays (if you meet their criteria, e.g. having Able Sisters built)that leaves two weekday slots that will be randomly filled by Gulliver, Label, CJ, Flick or Redd— Ninji 🇪🇺🏴🇬🇮 (@_Ninji) May 14, 2020
Players will see Leif, Kicks, and Saharah every week. There are two days a week where none of them appear; those days will be randomly filled with Flick, CJ, Gulliver, Label, or Redd.
if i understand that correctly, it means that each week i should have a 40% chance of seeing Redd (2 free weekdays where Redd has a 20% chance of appearing). i think it's been 3 weeks since i've seen him? probability of that happening is very satanic (0.6 * 0.6 * 0.6 = .216, or 21.6%)
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 21 May 2020 15:41 (three years ago) link
(for those keeping score at home, that should mean the probability of seeing Redd three weeks in a row is 6.4% (40% chance three weeks in a row = 0.4 * 0.4 * 0.4 = .064).
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 21 May 2020 15:45 (three years ago) link
do none of them show up on saturdays or sundays?
