It's the first time I've really been annoyed by this game. I don't mind grinding for stuff - Rare fish? Sure, I'll go fishing 100 times, because at least it's an activity. But having to sit and wait for balloons for hours of my day? So frustrating. I have no intention of trying to collect all of them, but there are a couple really cool ones that I'd love to get, and probably won't.

It feels like the maple leaves are a lot more common than the cherry petals were. I haven't been able to get more recipes though.

Nothing in the world can stop me now!
So on Monday Daisy had her birthday party which meant Isabelle didn't send out the maple leaf recipe. On Tuesday, one of our residents who didn't log in on Monday got the recipe from her, but up to today anyone who logged in on Monday hasn't gotten the recipe.

Is there usually a delay this long for Isabelle to catch up and send the recipe? Last time this happened I thought she sent it out the next day.

At the same time, is Isabelle's recipe unique to her, or can you get it from balloons, villagers and such?

You can get the red-leaf pile recipe from balloons just like any other seasonal DIY. Even if you already know it :/

The recipes are only available from balloons I believe. I have heard that you can find acorn/pine cone recipes in bottles, but I cannot vouch for the authenticity of that rumor.

given the sheer number of the things, and the fact that villagers will shower you in duplicates, I really feel like there should've been a once-daily "buy random DIY i dont know" item or something

Oh, that would be great. Even if it was for Nook miles rather than bells. You can trade miles for bell vouchers, why not for DIY?

I farm manila clams while I balloon farm since I'm missing several fish for making models and need all the bait I can get. I've done this for a couple of hours a day for the last 3 days and have over a thousand bait and am slowly knocking down the missing recipes. I feel like this multitasking makes it feel more like I'm doing something and it's been super zen!

This is honestly my biggest complaint about Animal Crossing. The villagers mostly ran out of unique DIYs to teach me ages ago, yet only Halloween was kind enough to put its seasonal DIYs into their rotation.

Fall is particularly bad because it puts 3 different seasonal sets into the balloons back to back.

And yet despite all this new balloon content all I ever seem to get from them is bells or racecar beds :negative:

That annoys me, and also the lousy acorns and pinecones. The only way to get them is to mash A on a tree until the ground is littered with sticks, pick up all the stupid sticks, and keep mashing A.

It's stupid and boring and pointless and the drop rate for the pinecones/acorns is too drat low! I hate it.

I farmed balloons for almost 7 hours today at work and ended up with 8 seasonal DIYs. Unfortunately half of them were duplicates, and half of those dupes were red-leaf piles. I’m still missing 13 recipes between the three seasonal sets so a net gain of 4 is pretty disappointing.

I kept track of everything in a spreadsheet, which helped me make a VERY interesting discovery. When I first learned about the balloon mechanics (back in the cherry blossom season) my source recommended going into Nook’s Cranny between each balloon, but I heard that that step had since been disproven. My results beg to differ.

For the first half of the day my spawn rate was abysmal, out of 38 possible spawn times only 18 of them produced balloons. Around 1:00 I started going inside Nook’s or the Resident Center between each spawn and the difference was immediate. 43 spawns later I’d popped 32 balloons. I went from seeing about one balloon every three spawns to never having more than one no-show in a row (except for a weird drought around 4:30). Could it be a coincidence? Maybe, but it’s a pretty big one.

I'm considering balloon farming tomorrow with some jail bars. Balloons will be spawning on the side of my island with a river mouth though. How do you account for that? Just accept there will be two possible spots for balloons to get routed to?

I’m not sure I understand. Are you saying that placing jail bars forces balloons into areas where they aren’t? I can’t find any info about this online.

You can fill in the river pretty close the river mouth. I did that today to make my beach patrol easier and to prevent unfortunate splooshes.

Yeah, you make a wall of jail bars (or climbing walls), and any balloon that hits it travels southward until it finds a hole in the wall and continues it's travel east/west. The goal is, you can stand in one spot and just listen for balloon sounds while you do other stuff. But it loses its value if I potentially need to be monitoring the river and another spot further south.

Filling in the river temporarily isn't a bad idea, but then I have to offset the wall south of the river enough that it'll probably interfere with stuff on the island. Boo...
