We may have finally found unobtainium but I will never find eywa.

I still have so many wild spots on my island, but in my mind I'm keeping some space open for the Gyroid natural reserves.

I'm on now. I work pretty late sometimes. I don't know if your island is still open but here's my dodo code: CLOSED. I have the dark bordered and peach fruit box if anyone wants to catalogue! I have a bunch of materials and crap scattered in the plaza, the DIYs are free to take but my other stuff is just for myself.

A bit of a longshot, but I'm looking for any of the torn, broken or moldy clothes.

I can make most DIY stuff or straight up bells if you need.
I have a moldy dress in storage, how much in bells would that get me?

I have now

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.




It's finally here! The big night! Shady Lurdiak's Casino Emporium is open for business!

Now before you start betting your hard-earned bells, let me give you a quick tour of the place!



Start by following the handy signage!



They'll lead you north to the main casino floor, where most of the action happens!



Now, if you brought your little ones along, or if you just want to have some no-stakes fun, our recreational area is full of various games to pass the time away. Maybe you'll set a new high score? And yes, the machines are all on free play!



But this is a gambler's paradise first and foremost, so here's the slot machine!



Place your bet on the table and say it out loud, and you get 3 pulls of the lever!



Get 3 bell symbols and...



Win five times your bet!



Now let's move on to these wheels in the back! The red one pays out double your bet, and the "Lucky Wheel" pays 6 times your bet!



As you place and call out your wager, you also pick your color with the red and black wheel!



The lucky wheel only has one winning segment, so you don't pick anything, you just "Bet on Lucky", and hope lady luck is in your corner!



Now these 3 wheels are a bit more complex.



You have to pick an outcome for all 3 when you place your bet.



Get one right, and your wager returns to you. A bit of a letdown, but hey, no skin off your nose.



Get 2 correct and you get 7 times your wager! A tidy profit!



But if all 3 wheels match your bet... you get 20 times what you wagered! Hot tamale!



3 Wheel Monte bystanders can also get in on the action by making side bets on individual wheels, for a potential payout of five times their wager! The action goes from hot to sizzling!

IMPORTANT NOTICE: WHEEL AND SLOT RESULTS ARE PLAYER SIDE, NOT HOST SIDE. That means I won't see the same results as you do. You'll need to tell me if you've won or not. Obviously, this means these games operate on the honor system, so don't be a greedy prick.

But the casino floor is just the beginning.



Just a short walk south is our luxurious fishing pool. Test your angling skills and win big money. How does it work?



Just register a set amount of time and pay the corresponding fee

3 minutes = 20k bells
5 minutes = 40k bells
10 minutes = 75k bells

(Important! Bring your own bait and get a 5% discount!)



The timer will start...



And you have to fish up as many whoppers as you can before time runs out!



Your helpful host will be tossing bait in the second you land a catch, making sure the pool is always coughing up fishies.



Reach the target number of fish for your time limit and get 2.5 times your bet, and a special fisherman's prize to commemorate your victory. If you don't make it, at least you get to keep all your fish!



Fishing is better with friends! For just a measly 5k fee, others can join the fishing challenge! The scores are added together once time runs out. The main entrant gets the money, but the one who caught the most fish gets the special prize. Maybe a nice way to get one on the sly...



A bit further south is the glorious Fighting Ring, where blood gets spilled in the name of fun and profit!



Between 2 and 4 fighters each pay an entry fee that they agree upon ahead of time (minimum 10k).



Each fighter stands in their corner, weapon at the ready...



Once the bell ring, the carnage starts! Each player tries to land a blow with their weapon, whoever gets hit is eliminated. If there's more than 2 people duking it out, the eliminated fighter has to hop out of the ring to let the survivors settle the score. Once only one fighter stands, they are awarded a point, and everyone returns to their corner for the next brutal round! A standard match is Best 3 out of 5, but more players and other special conditions can change that. Also, the ring may change between visits, creating new strategies and obstacles the fighters have to deal with!



The champ gets all the entry fees (minus a 5% cut for the organizers). Bet big and win bigger!



Those who don't want to bloody their knuckles can also get a piece of the action by betting on their favorite fighter! Greenhorns start by giving 1.1 times the wager if they win, but as each fighter racks up wins and losses, their odds change accordingly! Your kind host will keep track of the rise and fall of each competitor and keep you appraised of the spread!



Last but not least, it's Buried Booty Beach!



Pay a modest 50k fee for a chance to dig up two treasures.



You might find one of our booby prizes....



But you might also dig up the grand prize!



The bag is 99 thousand bells, but the prize is 150k total, payable at the counter! And along with that hefty sum, there are many other prizes of various rarity buried along the beach, including other sums of money. An especially lucky dig means you walk away with up to 200k bells!

Please allow your friendly host some privacy to reshuffle the prizes after each game of Buried Booty Beach

So what are you waiting for? Come on down to Shady Lurdiak's Casino Emporium! Open right now until I get bored or go broke!

I had the same realization that I forgot to sell most of my turnips. My price is 43, but I managed to luck out and get into a queue on Turnip Exchange that wasn't too obnoxious. It's a decent last resort.

BIG VINCE COMIN FOR YOU
I’ve had good luck for a few weeks in a row finding decent prices on turnip exchange. If you idle in the discord channel for like 15 mins it’s pretty easy to get into a queue for a high priced island (500+) with either no required tip or a relatively fair tip (1 NMT is totally worth it).

I know I could wait during the week and find an even more chill goon island, but I’d rather just get it done Monday afternoon at some point and be done with it for the week.
