9 MORE Tips Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKm8loebqdx-grs Discord gave away our URL so the one mentioned in the video is wrong! You can join our Discord @ discord.gg/YvDMSjCFnP *For the tip on burying bells, yes you do have a small chance of being able to bury more, but mathematically you profit more by burying the standard 10k a day.

When I first got the game I didn’t know how to sprint so I was walking super slow the whole time until my brother accidentally started doing it and I finally learned how.🤣🤣

[@ohiocarter3935]

Another tip is to look in your criterpedia and if the animal has an owl next to it's name that means you donated it. You don't know how many times I released a sea bass thinking I already donated it 😂

[@rosablu123]

Tip one: to see how you’ve got a new fish or bug: You can also check ur critapidia

[@steph0711]

to add to tip number one: you can also check in your critterpedia whether you've donated the fish, bug or deep sea creature. It will have a little owl next to the name if you just select the bug/fish and if you click on it you will see "donated" at the bottom of the picture

I totally agree with the last tip, which is the most important one as well - just chill. I got the game two months ago and was super addicted to this and time-traveling like crazy (gotta get all the recipes I missed ya know). The result is... I was burnt out. I didn't enjoy the game anymore, everything seems like a job needs to be done instead of something that I have having fun with. That's when I realized I took the fun out of the game. Now I just play whenever I want, if I miss something, then I miss it; if I don't feel like terraforming, I don't. Island is still gonna be there tomorrow, you don't need to rush it and design everything in a day.

[@jeanpaulcardales5760]

Yeah, I remember laughing at people who regret from TT, I guess it's my turn to laugh at myself. I don't want to delete my progress (I'm happy with my actual island) so now I have to wait if Nintendo releases an update with a second island.

Sorry this isn’t a tip, I just wanted to share a story about the time I accidentally buried 99k bells in a money hole. When I realized what I had done I was like 😬 so I did a few minutes of research and basically it was saying that it wasn’t impossible to get that 3x the amount of bells back when you bury that much, but usually it’ll go with the default and give 30k as it would if you had buried 10k in the hole. So I was like “shit I just lost 99k bells, I feel so stupid.” So three days go by, I’ve been watching this tree grow and I was soooo fucking nervous to go see if I had gotten lucky or not. I go to shake the tree and then I look at the amounts in the bags and they all say 99’000, in total I got 297,000. I think that was the most lucky I’ve ever gotten in animal crossing

[@ithapolevoy4630]

Another tip is to be careful of what you gift your villagers. They'll wear/place any clothes/furniture items you gift/sell them and it could "ruin" their aesthetic if that's something you care about. Additionally if you give them too many items they'll start getting rid of stuff in their house. It's best to just gift them fruit/pumpkins to boost friendship points

[@graceb8520]

i give them fossils that are too big to fit in their house. worth a lot and they don’t mess up the villager houses either

A tip if you’re trying to get villager’s photos: So generally, you get these photos after giving your villagers gifts everyday or almost everyday. Depending on the personality type, it may take longer or shorter. 1) wrap the presents! At the Nook’s store, in the same cabinet you buy tools, you can also buy wrapping paper- and that adds an additional friendship point to your gift. 2) the best gifts for villagers also depend on villager type, but they also have to be more than 3000 or 4000 bells. 3) this is what I do, and it works pretty well- after accessing the fossils I’ve collected, I sell the ones that are less than 3000 bells, and I wrap the rest for gifts to villagers. That way I’m not constantly spending money on gifts, and they’re so big they won’t mess up the aesthetic of the villagers’ houses. And if you’re still collecting fossils for your collection, this could help out with that too!

[@Ramirez2U]

Nice tip I really love how this works.

[@chelleay]

The best gift to give is to make the iron wall lamp, it only takes 4 iron and I think 2 clay, make them daily and wrap them, they give you the highest friendship amount and I very quickly got all my villagers photos. Best part they won’t hang them in their house and they can’t wear them lol

Adding to tip 4: bury 30,000 instead of 10,000 bells. There's a 30 % chance that you won't get three 10,000 bell bags but three 30,000 bell bags, so you get 90,000. And even if you don't hit that 30 % chance you'll still get three 10,000 bell bags and lose nothing because you just get your 30,000 bells back :)

[@ChaseCrossing]

Not a bad tip! I may make a video on those special days where you can get more, but this is a good rule of thumb I may include in that! It evens out

[@alexchiarelott8902]

Mathematically 10,000 is the best amount to bury

[@AlishaDear]

Also, if you listen to Isabelles announcements, and she says her horoscope says it’s her lucky day, you can bury 99,000 bells and have a higher chance of the bags being 99,000 bells each!

Tip 12: I actually recently reset my island with the 'just play and have fun' goal in mind. I always rushed to unlock terraforming and I spent more time decorating than actually playing and having fun and it caused me to not have fun anymore. So I reset and just taking it slow and it really is a lot more fun. Not to mention a villager I was trying to get in my previous save (Tutu) I came across randomly in this new save. I also used to care about what color my airport is or what fruit I got and now I just roll with whatever I get. The airport is going to function the same, no matter what color it is, and it's virtual fruit, eventually I'll have all of them so it doesn't matter which one I start off with.

It took me a while to discover that last tip. I always rushed, wanting to make my island perfect, time traveling all that schmuck, and then, I'd be tired and burntout and would restart my island. And I did this over and over for the past year. Until my most recent island, where I decided to just take it slow and let my island come along eventually, where I started having again. And I realized that the game has much more than I once felt all the way back then, and I feel like I can have the same moments I had when i first ever played new horizons. So it's good to let everyone know that their island doesn't have to be perfect, that it doesn't have to look like all those posts that have islands decorated like if jesus had been reborn their and just sprung the most beautiful masterpiece ever. That all you have to do is, enjoy the game for what it is

Don't sell the wasp nest. Thanks to the wasp-catching tips here I only sometimes miss one. After you get stung talk to a villager (I don't know if it matters but I talked to a sisterly villager--eta: personality doesn't matter--I started a second character, he got stung and the first villager he talked to gave him the recipe) and they'll give you the recipe for medicine. It uses the wasp nest and 3 weeds, so you can keep some on hand for when you or a villager need it.

Also, don’t forget, there’s two opportunities to go to a neighbours house while they’re crafting. Once in the AM, and then in the PM. It’ll be a different neighbour and of course a different DIY

[@mimiratt9238]

One more tip is along the same lines of CJ and Flick, when you get the ability, go to the islands and weed them. It won’t take up much room in your inventory, and if you store them in your house inventory and do it over and over you can sell your weeds to Leif when he comes. It isn’t much, but it’d hardly an inconvenience.

[@sweedra7899]

11:19 Tip 13: DON'T throw out or sell hybrid flowers. They can be used as great decoration on their own (as plants or picked flowers), and the picked flowers can be used in several DIY projects such as flower crowns, wreaths, baskets, and carts! And if you don't want them, you can give them to somebody else so that they can grow or pick their own hybrids. A win-win situation for everybody. You get rid of your unwanted hybrid and somebody else now has a chance to have their own cute hybrids.

There's also the tip that you can delete your island flag, phone case, and eyebrow designs once you've put them where you want them to go! Even if you delete the designs they won't disappear from your flag or whatever it is.

[@paradeoflaughter]

Chase: "Yes, you can sell the flowers for a very tiny bit of money. But as you know it's really not going to add up to a lot" Me: recently sold a bunch of flowers overtaking my island that added up to 10,000 bells (and that was with the discounted sell price of the drop box)

[@Ebenanti]

You can use the wasps nest to make medicine too

[@izzygedeon7171]

Another tip you can look in the bug and fish app if you gave it to blavers it will have a little owl on it

[@linneaholmsten4511]

Adding to the Flick and C.J tip; you don’t have to wait for the bug-off or fishing tournament to sell bugs and fish. They buy bugs and fish for the same amount when they’re visiting your islands as daily npc’s too. Though you have to finish C.J’s fishing challenge before he’ll buy your fish.

[@looFyttiK]

Before digging up the flowers, pick the blossoms. The plants themselves don't sell for much, but the blossoms sell for between 40 bells (for common flowers, like the colors you can get from seeds) to 1000 (for rare flowers like gold roses and blue roses). Also, one friend of mine sets flowers aside for picking blossoms for crafting, so that the flowers with the bare stems don't mess up the planned design.

For the wasp one you can also stand directly in front of the tree if the 45degree angle is too hard to position!! It works too :)

More than two ways to get DIYs. Don't forget you can get DIYs from balloons too, and a select few are available at Nook's Cranny (mostly for tools, but you could also get all the Turkey Day DIYs for a few days after the event). As for the money spot and growing bell trees, you can also dig the tree up right away if you don't like where it is. Some people think you have to leave it there, you don't. You can stand directly in front of the tree to catch the wasp. It doesn't have to be 45 deg. angle.. Carrying the trash bin is an interesting idea. I've heard of carrying the crafting bench, but not a trash bin. Personally, I'm too miserly and want the money (pittance though it may be), so I sell them. Lol! Speaking of selling, I think someone else mentioned this, but you can pick the flower, then dig up the stems to get more money (the Nooklings will pay you for both). Totally agree with taking it slow. Playing it for hours on end and trying to get the perfect island (completed and looking how you want), is a recipe for burnout.

Great tips for beginners 😊 been playing since July...it took me till September to realise to talk to Sable everyday for patterns lol

[@moofeyy]

Here's another tip. Keep only 7 trees on your island. 5 will be Wasps trees, and 2 will have furniture when you shake it.

[@Ramirez2U]

Wow this is the underrated tip I've found in comments. That is going to save so much time in shaking those trees on my island.

[@ChaseCrossing]

I personally never shook my trees hehe I just shook trees when I went NMT island hunting

[@mj2625]

But forest island...

[@jlemonni36]

But aren't you missing out on the tree's that drop a 100 bells?

[@nenishere24]

I believe if your striving for a 5- star island, your supposed to have a certain amount of trees . How many? I don't remember, Google that info, but if you don't care about the ratings then your gold!

[@GrazziaBF]

I love the last tip ♥️♥️ I’ve recently started to play and I compare myself to players that have been here for more than a year and that’s not fun. Thanks for reminding that♥️

[@rebeccame1391]

Thank you for sharing these tips. I sadly, have not seen this until now but I am very glad I did. The tip about the clear path square and keeping flowers in their place is something I had not heard of and I am very excited to add this to my island design. Again, Thank you for doing all of this for so many. *Nods* You are appreciated.

[@DirkJanFotografie]

That wasp thing (tip #9) also works great when you’re directly in front of the tree, just not at the side. By standing at the 45 degree angle, you risk be(e)ing (see what I did?) too far away and you might fail the catch.

[@Alexandriappanimomo]

Omg now I'm going to use these tips to make my island better lol

[@shayalay2595]

tip #13: when you customize your tools, it restarts the durability of it

[@kierandesmond9799]

Completely agree with the last time. I've played since launch, and when I got my OLED Switch a few weeks ago I decided to start fresh. Thoroughly enjoying the simpler times and taking my time 😁

[@looFyttiK]

A tip for collecting the money from the money trees- since it takes a few days for the money tree to actually grow, you might forget where it was. I dig up all my money trees and put them in a specific place. When it grows and I collect, I chop it down and leave the stump. That leaves a stump on which some bugs can spawn. When you've planted a few money trees in that spot, you'll be able to cycle through - plant the tree, let it grow, collect, chop, leave the stump for a couple days, then dig it up to plant another money tree. You'll always have a tree in each stage of growth if you find the money spot and plant a tree every day. If you skip playing some days, you may end up with multiple trees bearing money at once. :D

as a new player this is much appreciated!! i was grinding the first few days, trying to pay off my loans and unlock terraforming as quick as possible and it was already kinda taking the fun out of the game. so i'm gonna take it slow from here on😊 thank you for all the tips🧡

[@ddaarren6969]

I totally agree with tip 12 because I got 5 stars in 3 weeks and now I forgot what the beginning feels like😢.

[@alexrzonca0461]

Ive been planning to come back here after i figured out sable & that has got to me the most useful freaking tip i can’t believe not alot of people know about it, we dont have much room for custom designs as it is this is amazing 💕

[@coastispunk]

I play animal crossing every few months then find myself at these videos every few months

[@rhiannon0_o]

I got a little burnt out with ac but u always make me wanna play ac again

[@britneynichole1010]

I’m so glad I found this video about a week into starting AC for the first time ❤️

[@jenniesuemason2261]

Great tips! I just restarted my island because I rushed AND I missed a lot of very important tips/tricks. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@kyubeyz_7062]

People didn’t know about the fact that it says “yes” when it’s new?

[@amandaslough125]

Tip 1 "Yes" bonus detail: There's a similar functioning text line for sea creatures from diving too, but it isn't specifically "yes".

[@Allinmyworld]

What i like about this island is the beaches are clear and the island isnt to overly decorated or terraformed. Sometimes peoples island's while cute to me are super cluttered and super filled to the brim with every inch of space decorated with something. I think the beaches should have space to be free and clear and open for the most part.

[@jonsnow8486]

I just ordered new horizons online and I feel like you've blessed me a lot of tips that I will for sure do when I finally play the game, especially that last tip. I'm so excited!

[@plipito2806]

Happy today everyone! Stay safe and healthy and know you are loved :)

[@starberiparfait850]

I CAN'T BELIEVE I NEVER THOUGHT TO MAKE AN INVISIBLE PATTERN TO PUT ON THE GROUND

[@rebeccakepley6189]

This is going to be one of those moments when I ask a question and then when you give me the answer I'm going to say "of course that's it!" but I don't know how to make an invisible pattern. I can clear a pattern but then it's a white spot. I don't know how to make it invisible.

[@jupiterfan013]

Returning to animal crossing after months and I just restarted my island to play again these tips have been really helpful for getting back into everything thank you ❤️

[@nemonada3501]

CJ and Flick are the reason I paid for the extended storage in my house. Also, I don't carry a workbench around with me, I have around 15 of them placed around the island so I'm never far away from one.

[@cormac4654]

So I have an add on for the first tip, if you check in the place where you see all of the things that you have caught (I already forget what it is called) there will be a mark that looks like an owl, and that marks the fact that you have already donated

[@Jerrible]

Nice balloon save at the end of your video 😂😱💪🏻 Also, to add on to the shaking trees tip; each day two random non-fruit trees have a furniture item hidden in them, which is another great way to build up that catalog!

[@brucemathers3203]

Appreciate it for a newcomer to the game, tons of great tips I didn't know that'll become quite useful

[@Sakinocchi]

Man I kinda miss this game but I’ve done everything I wanted... made my 5 star island, got my fav villagers and completed the catalogue (tho I think they added new stuff since june haha) Always going to remember this as my quarantine game haha I LOVED the trading aspect of this game, I think 200 out of 400 hours I spent on this game were just me on other people island getting diys, trading, cataloging or selling turnips haha Now there’s significantly less people playing, so Im glad I played it at its peak time. It was also always fun to look at other people’s island through Chase’s channel and its nice to see that you still make vids about this game ^^

[@email2102002]

For the wasp net tip, I find a way is simple then a 45 angle. Which is "stand right under the tree". The shocking face effort works pretty well, so you won't missed the falling wasp net.

[@fat.dinosaur]

another tip is bring a storage shed with you in case your inventory is full but you don't want to run to nook's cranny

[@Nicky297x]

this is such a great video! i wish i’d have seen something like this when i first started! and there was a couple of tips in here that were news to me even now- 9 months down the line 🙈💙

[@sanchi7860]

Tip 1 is so helpful! I always make the mistake of giving Blathers fossils, bugs or fish that I already gave and now I know how to give him fossils, bugs and fish which I haven't given him yet all thanks to you!!

[@CRAZYHAMSTER8256]

Just wanted to add that when you donate a critter to the museum a small owl sign will appear next to the name in the critterpedia

[@sanchi7860]

@@CRAZYHAMSTER8256 I didn't know about that! Thanks :)

[@kataannaker]

I'm always carrying a trash can with me, but I never heard this from another players, I just figured it out for myself :) It's easy and I don't mind "losing" that little money I would get if I sell my garbages (unwanted flowers and weeds) :D Oh, and the crafting bench! The first time I've got the DIY for that, I crafted 2 of them. One for my tent/house and one for my inventory :) I've never heard that from others, too! This video will be SO MUCH help for the beginners!

[@Antphoneigh]

Nice island layout as seen on your map. NH is my first AC ever, and I didn't know better, so I built everyone's houses right next to each other.

[@LeahTargaryen]

You have a super calming voice. thanks for the video! I had to get a replacement switch unexpectedly and lost my island as it was saved to the device, but I’m okay with that because I wasn’t quite happy where I was anyways.

[@rubykewb]

For the wasp nests, I catch all 5 every day and then save up the nests to craft them into the honeycomb wall/flooring since DIY furniture/items sell for 2x the value of the materials it took to make them at Nook's Cranny! So wasp nests sell for 300 bells, but honeycomb DIY flooring/wallpaper sells for 3,600 bells since it takes 6 wasp nests to craft 👌🏼

[@elizmyers2206]

Omg my flowers are so over grown this helps so much! Now my shovel wont keep breaking :,)

[@abbihopkins1609]

I totally agree with that last tip!! I got the game when it came out and I haven’t time travelled at all and I absolutely don’t regret it lmao. It’s so much better in my opinion to just play it day by day!

[@ginafinnemann6656]

For the first tip: maybe if you didn't care in the beginning because you needed the money, in the critterpedia it'll have and owl stamp if you donated it already

[@BlankRey]

Hey Chasé, I wouldn’t mind you making other types of content! I love your animal crossing videos but it does get a small bit stale, so I’d love to see you playing more games you enjoy! Maybe even something similar like the Minecraft streams you did a while ago!

[@ApparentlyCoral]

Here’s a tip: there’s a way to reject DIYS from villagers, all you need to do is keep a bunch of weeds in your pockets and before asking what they’re making fill out your pockets so they won’t give it to you and if you don’t already have the DIY you just make room for it Edit: it can be anything that you can stack in your inventory I just use weeds because you can store a lot of them in a stack and they’re readily available

[@matchayoonji]

That's brilliant! Thanks for sharing 🤯😊

You can take it and sell it tho. Make some money
