Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
What’s up with the wallet size? My wife gets capped at 99k but I was able to carry around 130k without a problem.

E: ah, maybe it’s just the way the totals are displayed. I guess I didn’t dig into my inventory between withdrawing my life savings and going all in on turnips

I'm going to set my clock back a couple hours today because of my work schedule. Otherwise I'm never going to be able to check morning turnip prices. I'll give it a week before I start complaining about never being able to do any night fishing.

They go bad if you don't sell them in a week, but yeah any visitors can pick em up if you leave them out in the open.

Check your item screen, you can only carry 99k, anything over that takes up another item slot until *that* gets another 99k, then another item slot etcetc

Anything over 99k moves the first 99k into your inventory as a bag of bells. If you don't have an empty space you cap at 99

I think the only thing that makes them go bad is waiting a week (and maybe time traveling backwards).

The wallet only holds 99k, if you're carrying more than that it's in your inventory

You can fit 99k in your wallet. You are also able to hold bags of bells in your inventory.

So when you're trying to connect to an island with a Dodo Code, is it worth it to keep doing the "Can you check again?" thing to try to sneak in? In my experience so far I've either been able to fly over right away or never but drat it Daisy Mae is selling super high on my island today so I want to buy cheaper.

I'm sure trying to connect now is a lovely idea anyway since everyone's going to be in their inventories and talking to Daisy Mae constantly but :negative:

I considered getting turnips today but remembering all the horror stories of dealing with Nintendo's online I put that money towards a ramp instead.

I feel I made the right choice.

The only time you should stop trying to connect is if they straight tell you it's full, or if it gives you a connection error. Otherwise, it just means every one is trying to buy and they have to hop out of menus.

It's really not that bad if you're just looking to chill with a friend and make a few bucks. It's just everyone running in for cool items or making hundreds per turnip on a single island that's a pain.

Based on sell day experiences last week, if you're seeing the interference message you at least have a slot reserved on the server, you just have to wait until everyone is idle to slip in. I've never seen it go from "interference" to "town full", at least, where if I stopped trying again and retyped the dodo code of a busy town it'd immediately tell me it was full.

Maybe some people know this already, but turnips rot when it turns to Sunday, not after one week.

If you visit an island that's on a time zone ahead of yours and buy turnips on their Sunday (your Saturday) then you better sell them as soon as you get back to your island or else they'll rot the next day.

At least I caught an ant for the museum...

No, you just dump them on the floor. If it's outside people can take them unless you fence them in.

This is my first time messing with turnips. I'm guessing starting tomorrow everyone's gonna check Nook's prices and if someone gets a really good deal, they'll post it and we'll swarm their island and tank the economy with millions of turnips?
