yea, my one genuine complaint so far has been you simply can't make so many nookmiles things 'catch fish/bugs' and also make the museum take three/four days to open up. I have so many fish and bugs just chillin, not to mention the fossils!

When people say 3 or 4 days until the museum opens up is that IRL days?

Hey, buddy. :glomp:



I am very disappointed in how quickly even iron forged fishing rods break. I gave my gf one and she broke it in less than half an hour, trying to get all the fish. I don't have shovels yet to get more iron, so it's time to shake all the trees, ever.

I really wish there was a way to turn item durability off. This doesn't feel like it adds anything to the game but busy work.

I'm having a real hard time making money, and Nook Tickets are an absolute grind. I went to my first exotic island and it net me about 6,000 Bells. I'm walking around in underwear and a vest cause I can't afford anything snazzy or stylish, I put my bells towards trees / flowers and my tickets towards flights. I have the pocket and tool wheel upgrade. Any tips?

I know someone mentioned at least some quests can only be completed by the first person to get them earlier and dunno if that's always true or been debunked in the pages since, but I can say for myself and my gf I was able to do Gulliver's quest after she did it first in a local co-op play session. I ended our session after she completed the quest while she was leader and i was follower. I kept playing after it reloaded me into a solo session and Gulliver was asleep on the shore again and had dialogue confirming someone else helped him earlier, but his phone broke again while napping.

Stop doing that? I dunno, just grabbing fruit from islands and selling whatever fish/bugs I get, I prob generated close to 60k bells in a couple hours. How much money do you need?

there are single fish and bugs that can get you thousands. the big blue butterfly is like 4k if you spot one flying around.

I want to pay off the house loan. And I buy trees and flowers because I want a reliable wood income a few days from now, so I'm making a designated forestry area. Then the flowers I just spam all over the place because it gives tickets. I've already got the museum constructing, and I just need to find 30 nuggets for the shop upgrade. And some bird washed up on my beach but hasn't moved, so I figure he'll do something tomorrow.

I guess my first island was a dud cause they had the same fruit as my home island. I can imagine I'd have gotten way more money if I found non-native fruit.

I was on the game for about 6 hours today, I just find the same fish and bugs. It's always common white butterflies and tiger butterflies. There's this cricket noise I keep trying to track down cause I wanna catch it but I can't find out where it's hiding. My fish varies between 4-5 species.

I mean, the game has been out for like, 2 days now. I guess if you are really trying to min/max the gently caress out of the game, there's probably an ideal strategy but dang.

That cricket sound is mole crickets! You have to find the spot where it is loudest and dig.

It's very cheating but some people prefer it, they're wrong but since AC is so chill we aren't allowed to get mad about it.

With every prior AC game it's been the thing that made me stop playing.

It just feels like there's no point if you can get whatever you want at the push of a button. It just kills the enjoyment.

Same way buying microtransactions are a surefire way to make sure I never touch a game again.

I'm confused about how to get things going for my two animal residents and the others I invited. So far there's just the two basic tents from the start. I just paid off my first home upgrade, and I thought maybe options for adding new houses would show up, but I haven't seen a thing on that end. Or maybe it's just timed, I'm still on my second day.

This is my first AC game, and I can see how that would happen. Don't think I'm gonna mess with it.

I've done a 180 on it! I was all ready to time travel the heck out of this first few days but so far I have yet to run out of things to do. In some of the past games, after an hour or so there was nothing left to do but wait for tomorrow. This one though, like, you could play as much or as little as you want. The loop goes on for as long as you want it to, pretty nice. Now I'm a weirdo ten days behind for no reason lol.

Ok, I think I may be dumb but I just figured out that the order the left and right d-pad uses for cycling through tools is the order they appear in your inventory.

So you can change the order by moving them around! Now I can go right from axe to net when the wasps pop up.
