Any advice on a place to sell today? My island is stuck at 72 bells and all of my money is tied up in root vegetables!

You want to join the turnip exchange discord and the #te-islands-live channel or something. Typically it's faster to see them pasted in the channel by the bot than refreshing the website and scrolling through the massive list of islands that may or may not be new.

Look for anything 500+ with no fee. It'll take a bit to find a good target, so be patient. I leave the discord open on one monitor while I work. I refuse to pay someone 10 nook tickets or 10 gold nuggets or whatever the gently caress outrageous stuff some people charge. I lean toward no fee and tip them a stack of bells, or 10% or something. You'll find a lot of hilariously overpriced islands where the turnips sell for like 200-something. I was briefly in the chat today and people were saying how Monday islands suck and people try to charge way too much because everyone is so anxious to dump their stock.

If you find a new island, click click click as fast as possible to join the queue. If I get like 30th or higher in line, I don't really bother. I don't want to sit around waiting on a queue for 3 hours. Also, keep in mind that when you're on an island and someone lands/leaves, it breaks to the stupid loading screen for a minute or two. I hate islands that let more than 2-3 people in at once because you sit on loading screens for a half-hour while you try to find Nook's, sell, get back to the airport.

Don't be afraid to jump in multiple queues at once, but make sure you can monitor them. The dodo code expires after a few minutes or something. Typically when I get to #10 in line, I'll go sell all my poo poo, store my tools, and load up my inventory with turnips and just wait. Last thing you want is to get stuck picking fruit and having to do 20 things before you hit the airport and oh poo poo the code expireed.

e: of course, this is where I ended up selling mine today

I'm not 100% sure that last part is true. I was experimenting with eating fruit to see what effect it had, when I hit a rock with my shovel. It broke, and a gold nugget popped out. I was very new to the game at the time, so I thought I had hit a gem rock, like from New Leaf.

Anecdotally, though, breaking apart rocks that I've already hit for the day has always produced a single stone.

Huh, that's news to me. I guess maybe it's worth breaking one rock per day, just in case.

This is very annoying. It's always four repeating tool tips before you get to anything even vaguely interesting. I can't be bothered most of the time. I just give them presents and that's that.

If you don't have it, it will be something like: "This recipe costs 1000 miles. Would you like to redeem miles?"
If you already have it, it will be in two separate segments of text, where the first is something like "This recipe costs 1000 miles." and the second is "You already have this recipe. Are you sure you want to redeem miles for it?"

I think you have to exit the kiosk menu entirely after buying it for the first time for it to switch to the second one, though. And if somebody gave you the recipe, I'm not sure if it will give you the warning.

I really wonder whether this dialogue seems as dismissive in Japanese. If someone said that stuff to me, irl, I'd definitely take the hint and try to be less clingy.

Similarly, I always get kind of offended when my animal buddies give me money for a gift. Who thought that was a good idea?

But that’s how it is when you start wanting to have things. Now, I just look at them, and when I go away I carry them in my head. Then my hands are always free, because I don’t have to carry a suitcase.
If some of ya'll have more money than sense, Able's is selling the crown for 1,000,000 bells in my town today. They even have a royal shirt to go along with it. Kicks is in town today as well.

they only seem to get actually annoyed to where they wont talk to you at allafter like 6 chain convos, and how their greeting changes on repeat interactions is purely down to personality. smugs and snootys are more likely to sound flattered than annoyed, normals seem always happy, peppys and lazys both seem extremely happy to the point of sarcasm but i dont think its meant to be. theyre not annoyed, it takes quite a lot and if you dont just stand there spamming talk to them you can actually chat to each villager loads of times in a day and they dont mind.

That's exactly what I'm doing this week. I'm on my last loan so I bought 800k worth of turnips at 97 bells. We've been using the tracker for three weeks and it's been correct this far. So according to that I should sell on my island for a little over double tomorrow. I'm not real big on the turnip game but this will help complete my house with some bells to spare.

Ahh, thanks! I guess I'd already gotten the stone fence recipe elsewise then. 'Cause it sure didn't warn me when I bought it today. Checked just now and now it actually warns. :shrug:
Still annoying that the fences you already have show up in that thing, when all the other DIY recipes are available once only.

All of it is trash that I fished up, so yes boots cans and tires.

Wondering if there is a problem with placement because I waited a long time to get ants from my spoiled turnip and got them almost immediately after moving it.

Is your island in the Southern Hemisphere where it is winter by chance? I dunno if that would effect fly spawning but it’s the only thing I could think of that might.

It took me way longer than I expected to find a fly myself. I had a 4x3 grid of mostly tyres, some boots and a few cans in an otherwise clear space and the first few times a fly spawned I missed it. As in it was zipping around too much and I missed my swing.
My suggestion is to wait for it to sit down and then slowly approach.
