help yerself to the items in the flea market, leave anything you like! Shop is just up to the right of the flea market.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 4 June 2020 05:11 (three years ago) link
thanks trayce! i was rubby, in the dia de los muertos mask. i didn't have anything to drop off cause my pocks were fulla nips! cool flea market tho
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 4 June 2020 05:22 (three years ago) link
yeah its my junk repository lolol. Actually, does it let visitors grab the items aside from the DIY cards?
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 4 June 2020 05:31 (three years ago) link
i'm guessing anyone can grab the items that are just dropped, but maybe not the ones that are "placed"? (i.e. leaf icon on the ground vs actual object)
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 4 June 2020 05:34 (three years ago) link
yeah you can grab leafs but not emplaced furniture

I tried to leave you an interesting fish off my island but accidentally let it go. Maybe it'll breed in your waters and you can catch it yourself!

You can’t gift wildlife. It’s brutal.

Eeeee! TY Trayce! 2nd floor music room paid off :)
Btw, it took me way too long to find the stairs after the 2nd floor was built.
― Jaq, Thursday, 4 June 2020 12:03 (three years ago) link
613 bells today!
:O
― Mordy, Thursday, 4 June 2020 14:06 (three years ago) link
Nate: lol I saw you toss that fish off the pier and thought wtf haha.
Redd has finally visited me again today! I got the cleopatra-head statue. But his visit hit rate is way too low :(
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Friday, 5 June 2020 00:18 (three years ago) link
So *scans thread* that was a month between visits. Ugh! I'll never finish my museum this way :(
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Friday, 5 June 2020 00:19 (three years ago) link
he's visited me once to introduce himself, and once with the boat. unless I missed him by not traversing the whole island, which is possible
it's really a game to take as it comes
― mh, Friday, 5 June 2020 00:23 (three years ago) link
Once he's done the boat visit you wont see him on the island and I think that might be what tripped me up last time (and its interesting that an islander handed me a painting - I reckon he went and got it for me lol)
The thing to do is keep an eye on your map. When Redd is in town a sort of leaf in a circle icon will appear over wherever the "secret beach" is on yr island.

What's up with Bamboo shoot growth? Do they only grow the one and that's it? At least I can keep chopping the trees for wood, but it makes the shoots super rare.
― Nhex, Friday, 5 June 2020 19:54 (three years ago) link
I want the statue
― mh, Saturday, 6 June 2020 00:39 (three years ago) link
just did a trip on Turnip Exchange. very profitable but holy shit Nintendo can you ever do online right? freezing every client when someone joins or leaves wtf
― Nhex, Saturday, 6 June 2020 01:21 (three years ago) link
I think i read somewhere they wont produce shoots if you've dug up and moved it, only if its grown from a shoot and left alone? not sure.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Saturday, 6 June 2020 05:35 (three years ago) link
i can confirm that is true - transplanting means no new shoots. but even when i've done it the right way - growing a fresh shoot into a bamboo tree, then a new shoot pops lies underground - i don't think it ever does it again, which is... unfortunate. especially for those recipes that require the shoots
― Nhex, Saturday, 6 June 2020 05:46 (three years ago) link
Hm must remember to always raid shoots on Bamboo Island then.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Saturday, 6 June 2020 08:25 (three years ago) link
i finally got a chance with this on a sunday morning and bought 1,400 turnips at 110 bells each. plz keep me in mind if you get a good price this week!
― Mordy, Sunday, 14 June 2020 15:22 (three years ago) link
I will keep my eye out!
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Sunday, 14 June 2020 23:00 (three years ago) link

― Mordy, Tuesday, 16 June 2020 06:01 (three years ago) link
Nhex I’m happy to give you some of my bamboo shoots if you put up a dodo code at some point. How many do you need?
― gyac, Tuesday, 16 June 2020 08:17 (three years ago) link
naw naw it's all good. i think i have enough at this point. but thanks!
― Nhex, Tuesday, 16 June 2020 08:44 (three years ago) link
so how do you get the super high turnip prices? totally random?? i've been checking twice a day locally and they're like 80 on the low end and 150 on the high end.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 24 June 2020 15:21 (three years ago) link
a quick google will tell you everything you need to know and give you a tool that will make you rich, if you want to do it. it's kind of weird because once you know it's there, it kind of ruins the whole thing.
i did it for one week to finance a quick house expansion, and didn't feel too much regret. but it would be kind of lame to exploit it every week
― time is running out to pitch in $5 (Karl Malone), Wednesday, 24 June 2020 15:33 (three years ago) link
i don't think i'll have that problem since i'm apparently now funding house expansions for 2 other (much younger) players
― Mordy, Wednesday, 24 June 2020 15:49 (three years ago) link
haha, in that case go for it! this was the best tool i found, but there are others that do the exact same thing with different user interfaces:

My 13-year old daughter has afaict totally abandoned this, which is annoying, since I bought it for her and she was really into "City Folk" on the Wii. I should ask her what she liked about that one that she doesn't like about this one, but I think she finds a lot of the denizens she has to deal with in this iteration annoying, and I know she is irked that she can't interact with any of the shit she accumulates. So, awesome, she has a pool, but ... it just sits there. Which I think means all she can do is BS busywork to tidy up her island to attract people she doesn't want, which is not doing it for her. I guess I'd rather her snooze out of Animal Crossing and spend time outside then not go outside because she is too into Animal Crossing.

Mordy, if you have some patience and are cool with visiting a stranger’s island, I’ve had good luck with turnip.exchangeSome people will request a gift and possibly block your route to the market until you pay up, but it seems to be a good community. I’ve sold ‘nips at 450 and above painlessly.
― solo scampito (mh), Wednesday, 24 June 2020 16:35 (three years ago) link
Thanks good tip! Found a place with 540 prices on exchange and it went smoothly
― Mordy, Wednesday, 24 June 2020 16:44 (three years ago) link
Has anyone else had a kind of groundhog day thing happen where the same villager is building the exact same thing and the hot items are identical two days in a row? It's only happened once, but kind of threw me.
Also my island is completely littered with DIY cards so f those, into the drop off box. I did get the stone lion-dog DIY from a balloon and squee'd out loud.
