ACNH Tips I Wish I Knew When I Started

Must-know Animal Crossing New Horizons tips! A collection of info and tips that would have saved me a lot of time (and made me a lot of Bells) had I known them sooner. So many empty trees shaken and wasp stings in my first weeks with ACNH. This collection of Animal Crossing New Horizon's beginner tips will show you the essential daily to-do list, how to get 55k guaranteed, easy bells per day to start you off, how to camp gift balloons, how to guarantee find your two daily pieces of furniture from trees and more.
I am generally a World of Warcraft channel and that's not changing with this- I've just been playing a lot of ACNH and wanted to share some tips with anyone starting late! My videos and streams will continue to be largely WoW-centric.

she really just shook the tree with wasps in it and immediately caught them like a *god* while i manage to get stung *every time*

[@sunkist-n-skittles9072]

I get stung at least twice a day. That's why I buy medicine in bulk.

[@rayadoodle]

Sunkist-N-Skittles plus, it’s good to have medicine on you anyway

[@lilliannaswift180]

I feel that

[@lenorabarton1519]

Watch the replay a couple of times and then try it. It honestly works! It's also super easy to catch scorpions and tarantulas once you know the trick. Don't carry your net at night. When you see one, arm the net and immediately hit A - so you are in sneak up mode. Sneak up one step at a time - they will react, but just wait until they settle down and take the next step. Sneak up until there is an empty space between you and the little brat and when they are done swinging their front legs/claws, grab 'em with the net!

[@yaniz_1453]

@Lenora Barton Thank You! I'll try it when I get ACNH, and yes I'm overpreparing 😂

[@Vercalos]

Not really a money earning tip, but a fun one all the same: when you run across a villager either singing or playing an instrument, if you set a radio down nearby and start playing music, they'll start singing/playing along to the song.

[@xiaohuli96]

Or just put down a radio and the villagers will come to it and start singing. Don't put it near Pashmina's house tho. She'll never stop singing jesusss lol

[@arianamauery9281]

also, if you pull out an instrument (ocarina, pan flute, finger piano) and press A to the same rhythm as the notes, then you'll automatically harmonize with them singing and it's super super cute!

[@amdraglover]

I noticed this so quick so I put a radio in my plaza and I’m slowly adding them around my island so I can hear the same song everywhere.

[@artyona6066]

Three of my villagers literally sing every second of the day in the plaza. I got annoyed and hit them with my nets one started crying while the other got humpty dumpty angry

[@ocarinaofwastingmytime607]

[@BimBo._.]

Another tip; if you’re just starting your island and don’t have a museum yet, or even the option for one, dedicate a spot on your island to just stacking a bunch of bugs and fish. This can get you an early start to a museum and prevent from taking up a bunch of your inventory.

"Mash A when you see wasps!" Me, accidentally and furiously shaking the tree before I get dunked on by wasps

[@kebagames4801]

You have to be in front of the tree when you shake it for her tip to work. You can also hold B and run away. Run into the museum or your house if you're fast enough. Super Mario pipes help you escape and if you're wearing a wet suit jump into the water or run to the beach (holding B to dash) then tap A to go in the water. The wasps disperse if you escape from them. And it's fun seeing the other island residents freaking out when you're getting chased by wasps.

[@crystalpelletier3506]

The tip about fruit tree spacing really helped, so here's a tip about money trees you may or may not know: If Isabell says something about horoscope and having good luck in the daily announcements, you can plant 99,000 bells that day, and that specific tree will grow to drop 3 bags with 99,000 bells in each.

Unless you are planning on cutting down trees, always craft a flimsy axe! Every time you hit a rock, always do it with a flimsy axe.

FUN FACT: It's possible to get two DIY recipes from your villagers everyday. One villager can be found crafting in the morning (anytime before 12) and a different villager will be crafting in the afternoon. Different villagers will give different types of DIY's so it's good to change who's living on your island every now and then to get a bigger variety of recipes.

[@6powersofM]

Correction; you can get 3 DIY per day from your villagers. The first one starts crafting when you start the game that day. The second will be 3 or 4 hours after that, and the third and last will be another 3 to 4 hours. Granted, you'll only notice this if you have time to spare to play acnh for 8 hours a day.

[@6powersofM]

@Linou Gertz Simply walk into their homes if you see there's smoke coming from the chimney of the house. High chance they are at home to craft. If they are, you'll see them being busy. Talk to them and they'll hand you the card with the recipe.

[@sochloe8712]

Actually when you bury more than 10k for money trees you have a chance of 30% to get the amount buried times three instead of 10k times three (30k) In the long run it's more profitable to always bury 10k, but if you are lucky and get proccs more often you are way better with burying 99k I personally buried always 99k at the start of the game (when I had them available) and it was pretty good for the start - and you are way more happy about it when there are 3 bags of 99k :D

[@Ashtiel]

There is actually a pattern to it! There's some videos about the process. But once you figure out the pattern via some experimenting, you can determine your pattern for the week(and year) and get a max of 297k bells from your fertile money trees, and that can happens multiple times a week. The pattern is a 7 day pattern that doesn't necessarily fall evenly on the Sunday to Saturday calendar.

As soon as you plant a money tree, you can dig it up with the shovel (no fruit required), so you can keep your money trees in a money orchard to keep track of them

[@Tsamane]

Ive been doing that myself, it requires 4 spots, and also allows you not to got overgrown with trees

[@MrMonochromatic]

Every friend that visits loathes my money tree hill, but it's how I avoid impulse buying so I can save up, cos a bank ain't stopping me. Edit: Money tree groves are excellent island banks, if you only care about progressing everyone and not about owing money. Or it's just you and a ton of alts...

How is that helpful tho if it’s not fully grown? I’m confused lol

[@rpdnplstk]

I just discovered this entirely by accident yesterday. I used the shovel again right after planting and freaked out, and then looked in my inventory and saw that it was a nursery bell tree. This is a gamechanger for me in terms of organizing my island. NO MORE RANDOM TREES! (And no more running around all over the place trying to find the bell tree I planted last week!)

[@rpdnplstk]

I've noticed a couple exceptions to the rule of fruit DIYs selling for less: - Coconut Juice: sells for 500, crafted from 1 coconut (which usually sells for 250) - Any DIYs using your native fruit: you get roughly double the value, since your native fruit only sells for 100 each

[@lilagtook]

Alternatively, you can save your native fruit and sell it while visiting someone else's island who has a different native fruit and get 250 each.

[@Rikativity]

I think Hazel was discouraging selling fruit items because your native fruit sells for much more on another island (where it's not native, of course). Your end up wasting that profit of you craft with them. However, if you don't visit other islands, go ahead and craft with native fruit for that 2x bonus.

[@monicac2466]

lilagtook actually you can get 500 per native fruit if you sell them on someone else’s island.

[@EnochDark]

@@monicac2466 seems like a lot of trouble since you'd be limited to pocket space.

Hailey Hunter you can only cut down trees with an iron ax, so whenever you get that DIY you’re good to go

[@lgnrv]

for people that are always getting stung and haven't mastered the net technique, like me: have some party poppers in your hand while shaking trees, when the wasps fly out, you pop one and they dissipate :) i always have a stock of poppers on my stuff just for that.

[@Mickie11850]

Super, super helpful. I played once and lost interest quickly, I’ve recently restarted my island and this video is one that has helped me ALOT. Definitely things I wish I knew when starting originally!

[@MrMudbill]

Correction (I assume others have posted this already but): You can plant more than 10k for a money tree, all the way to 99k and get 3x 99k bags back. The problem is that beyond 10k you are not guaranteed to get the same amount back in each of the 3 bags that grow. I believe the chance is around 20-30% of getting bags with the original amount, and the rest clamps to 10k. So if you plant 99k, you _may_ get 3x 99k back, or (more likely) you'll get 3x 10k back, so it's a net loss. Planting 99k is a gamble. You can get lucky and make tons of money, but on average you'll earn more by planting 10k.

[@ejee62073909]

The way I watched someone do it was plant 11k every day and find out what day you get 11 back or only 10. So once you have your pattern you know what day to plant 99

[@dart70ca]

ejee I tried it but the pattern didn't repeat the same every week. Possibly it was a two or three week period pattern but I did not go that far. By the time this hack came out I had more bells than I would ever need.

[@wyatttibbitts8603]

Best way that I've found is to plant 30,000 bells. At the very worst you will just get your money back, and at best you can get 90,000 bells, making a profit of 60,000. No risk, pretty solid reward.

[@spacekoalalove]

This does not work for me.. I've tried planting different amounts, but no matter what each bag will only have $1,000. I've actually been taking the original $1k, saving it, then planting $100 and it still comes out $3,000 total...

[@wyatttibbitts8603]

space koala Here’s some info that I found about the odds of making money or not 100-1,000 bells: the bags will always be 1,000 bells each. 2,000-9,000 bells: 70% Chance it’s 1,000 each, and a 30% chance that you will get 3 bags of the amount you planted. 10,000-99,000 bells: 70% chance it’s 10,000 in each, and a 30% chance that it’s 3 bags of the amounts you planted. So burying 100 bells will always net you 3,000 bells (2,900 profit) Burying 10,000 should always get you 30,000 (20,000 profit) Burying 30,000 you will not make anything or lose anything 70% of the time, but 30% you will get 90,000 bells (60,000 profit) And planting 99,000 bells means you will only get 30,000 bells most of the time (69,000 loss), but 30% of the time you will make a profit of 198,000 bells.

[@evamae9941]

I have two hacks; 1. When looking for villagers in your island, if you can’t find one and think it’s in the museum, if blathers is awake that means that there is a villager and if he is asleep there is none in the museum. This only works during the day. 2. I’m sure you know that mashing the b button makes the crafting faster, but all you have to do is double tap the b button, it will have the same effect and you can give your fingers a break.

I've grown bell trees using 90,000 bells that give back three bags of 90,000 bells several times. I've also done 30,000 with success. Not sure if this was just an update, but thought it was worth mentioning.

[@ShinobiNova]

This comment was literally a year ago so you may already know this... but, I recently found out there are such a thing as "fertile days" and if it grows on that day, then you have the chance of tripling any amount you bury. But, normal days will end up at just 30,000 ... I am not sure how to tell what days are fertile though.

Money tree hole has a chance to be a “fertile” hole, allowing up to a 99k bell investment. Supposedly every island follows it’s own pattern; usually something like 2 days off, 1 day one, 3 days off, etc. At beginning of month, bury 11k each day for about 2 weeks to learn pattern. Then bury 99k on days that match pattern next two weeks.
