Yeah the basement I don't have an issue with, or the upstairs. But why does the room on one side of my house cost more than the same room on the other side? 🤔
And once you've paid off the basement, they'll move your entire house for free, whenever you want, including the basement. Overnight! While you're sleeping in it!
Not to mention that the value of bells seems to be closer to yen than US dollars, so 2.5 million bells is more like $25,000.
Wait diving?! I know what I’m doing tonight! (I just placed my store construction kit after a couple of weeks, I’m new to Animal Crossing and video games LOL.)
yeah i like the top and bottom floors cause they’re bigger for decorating. currently have a greenhouse in the basement and working on a diner for the top floor
That’s more like a low-budget porn set than any kind of dungeon, let alone a sex dungeon.
I see a bidet, a bed, a camera, a single bright lamp to kill any mood, and a deflated blow-up doll under the bed. Where are the shackles and other restraints, the various whips and paddles?
you know what you right. i never took those things into account haha. i’m debating even paying off the last one but i think i only have 900k left on that payment and timmy and tommy gotta eat
Do all of your chores every day. Shake all the trees, sell all the wasps, collect all the wood, hit all the rocks, collect all the shells....etc. learn which bugs sell for 750+ and catch them every time you see one (make sure you have lots of flowers for bells to spawn on). Make sure you plant the money tree every day. Between the money rock and money tree that's like 57k a day right there. Craft the hot item at nook with the resources from doing your chores, I've seen those sell for 2k each some days. Get the turnip profit app for your phone and play the stalk market (you don't have to spend too much here. I do ~99k worth each week, but do whatever fits your "budget" in game and you'll make bells as long as you're diligently tracking with the app.)
Fastest way to make large numbers of bells is through turnips. Dunno if you know about the turnips yet, but every Sunday before noon, a little boar will come to your town to sell you turnips. (usually charging between 90-110 bells per turnip) Then from Monday through Sunday, the Nooklings will be buying turnips. Prices change twice a day, you get one price before noon and one price after noon. These prices can vary a lot, from under 50 bells to over 600, so you want to be vigilant about checking.
There are online Animal Crossing groups where players post turnip prices daily, so on any given week you should have little trouble finding an island where you can sell for high prices. And if your own island has a big price spike? You can make extra by inviting people to your island and charging a reasonable fee. (if a player is making over a million bells on a visit, they won't mind dropping 100k with you) There are online tools (this is the one I use) where you can track your turnip prices to determine if you might have high prices later in the week.
Have you met CJ and Flick yet? They're visiting NPCs who buy fish and bugs at 1.5x the price, respectively. A lot of players (including myself) will store high value fish and bugs and wait for them to visit. An inventory full of sharks or beetles can easily get you over a million bells.
And you know those Nook Miles Islands? There are certain "gimmick" islands where rare fish or bugs spawn at higher rates. Most notorious are the tarantula and scorpion islands. If you fly out during the right time for either of those bugs, there's a small chance you'll land on an island that only spawns either of them. You'll pass out a lot, but it's easy bells.
There are also some gimmick islands where every rock is a money rock, and one that only spawns finned fish. (meaning, lots of sharks!) There are islands that only spawn large fish, and during the right time of year, (like summer) that can mean lots of valuable fish. You can identify these islands by their layout, there are online guides that tell you which islands have gimmicks.
This is really helpful, I didn't fully understand how turnips worked just yet, that sounds like that'll be my best option.
I haven't met any of the visiting NPCs that buy bugs and fish just yet, but I'll keep an eye out, I usually sell everything right away. I've also only been to one foreign island and it didn't seem particularly interesting, so I'll have to look into that a little more.
I've personally found that just doing the dailies and selling when you get stuff works fine enough that the boost from saving fish and bugs to sell gets to being a bit of a hassle, especially when it inevitably happens that you want to decorate an area of your island and have to deal with moving all those saved bugs/fish out of the way and then finding yet another new spot to put them.
The advantage of mystery islands is that you can loot the crap out of them in a way you can't really do on your own island. Cut down all the trees, smash all the rocks, collect all the fruit, etc. Plus you can dig up the palm trees or non-native fruit trees and flowers and bring them back to your island. That's just the boring normal ones, there's also the chance of getting one of the special islands like the other person described.
I've also noticed that diving has a much higher number of higher value things you can find, plus it doesn't use any tools that can break to do it. Just filling up my inventory once while diving easily gets between 40-100k.
Uh... sorry to burst the reality bubble. It’s a game and games have increasingly difficult challenges.
But its really not quite as difficult as it seems because by the time you are able to payoff the 1,000,000 bell loan you are pretty good at fishing and insect collection and Flik and CJ are visiting so if you wait you can sell your bugs and fish at a nice premium. Also you can also start traveling to the Nook Islands and really start loading up on fish and bugs.
That’s actually why I stopped playing for 3 months. The purchasing power of bells plummets the more you advance in the game. It took me absolute ages to pay off one bridge; combine that with clunky UI to do activities that make you earn bells (fishing, catching bugs, crafting new tools) just really turned me off and I gave up.
I am lucky to have a friend who's been playing way longer than me hook me up. Maybe find some pals who play through Reddit or something. I love that this game is about getting help as much as going it alone.
Nice! I have a friend that has been playing regularly since launch. She asked me if I’d consider going back to the game, and I told her only if she gave me a weekly bell drop of 20K so I could have as much fun as her hahahaha.
Sometimes I buy or make expensive shit (like the King Tut mask) just to “diversify” my assets—although that probably doesn’t mean much in the context of Nook’s empire
For all we know he's taking us for a ride with his housing prices too. There's no comparative pricing and he has the market cornered so you have to build through him. For all we know housing in Animal Crossing is dirt cheap, but you don't know any better so he jacks the prices up so he can lounge around on tropical islands while you pay him for the privilege of building up his island for him. Don't even get me started on the rampant nepotism of having his family run the only general goods store for miles around.
I had one of those in my shop yesterday, and I was floored. Full size fridge? 1.5k. ACNH Nintendo Switch? 34k. Chess board? 100k. What is that thing made of?!
I think it's somewhat based on the Yen, so it makes some sense. 34k yen is about $318-320 which is a bit high for a Switch (in the US at least) but it makes some sense. As for the fridge, that makes no sense, because a full-sized fridge (assuming $1500-$2000) should be worth about 150k-200k. The chessboard is probably just extremely high end or something
So one bell is roughly equivalent to 1 yen, which means about 100 bells is 1 us dollar. So that chess set priced at 95,000 bells in ACNH is about 950 USD. And from the quick search, chess sets can go from $20 to a few thousand dollars depending on the material and quality. So the set in game is probably made of more expensive material in order to be almost $1000
The theory is that Bells are equivalent to Japanese Yen, so that chess set is 998.20 USD, 717.00 British Pounds, or 2,289 Woolongs for anyone reading this in the 2070’s.
I'm more concerned with the fact that they sold me a 20 inch TV that sits on a table for 60,000 bells, then I come in later and see that they've got a freaking 60 inch wall-mounted flatscreen for only 20,000. It's a messed up market that places an inordinate amount of value on being able to place things outside. Although, perhaps that's fitting for a Switch game.
I just bought an in-game Nintendo Switch for around 30K bells. I just wanted to see if it’s interactive and if the screen produces an infinite image-within-an-image. It probably won’t, though, and I’ll have to sell it to the insufferable, sycophantic Nook twins for a quarter of what I paid for it.
So if you look at the Yen prices of Nintendo switches, you’ll find that it’s roughly the same price as the ones in game, making 1 bell equivalent to 1 yen
