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.

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.

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

― 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.

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

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

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.
― Jaq, Wednesday, 24 June 2020 20:33 (three years ago) link
I have a million DIY cards scattered on the ground too. Leaving in case I ever have visitors...

Just be aware you wont get a 5 star rating if yo do that! but if you already got it I guess its moot.

They’re adding ocean swimming on July 3rd. You can collect stuff underwater and there will be a new spot in the museum for those things.

K.K. has shown up today instead of Saturday and confusion reigned for awhile. I ran off the gorilla workout neighbor and hit a bunch of mystery island for some new resident shopping. Will be filling my island with lazies and cranky old dudes in sweaters.

anyone have an xtra Gemini fragment they wouldn't mind trading? i have lots of cancer fragments i'd trade 2 for 1 (or pay bells for it).
― Mordy, Tuesday, 30 June 2020 13:58 (three years ago) link
I've got Aries and Taurus but no Geminis. Do you only get them during the astrological month for them?

I believe so yeah.
Does anyone have the DJ turntable with the vinyl underneath in the shelves? I would love to buy one for my music studio room.

Ive only had one succesful set :( At least Redd has showed up a few more times recently! Jaq I saw you ping the other day that you had Redd, I'dve visited but I had him too haha.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Wednesday, 1 July 2020 04:33 (three years ago) link
