Can You Get a 5 Star Island USING ONLY NOOKAZON? (Animal Crossing New Horizons)

[@Dagnel]

This WHOLE VIDEO was filmed on Twitch! Come catch some future videos live before they air! twitch.tv/Dagnel Also check out my last Nookazon video, where I recreated the One Red Paperclip Challenge in ACNH! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWOUdmWbja5mitk

[@dollyowl]

hey dagnel! i was lois, and I’m so happy you managed to get to 5 stars! i was on holiday, so I couldn’t catch many of the other streams, but it was great to watch this! looking forward to the next challenge:)

You are a weird yet entertaining person

[@erinbain6390]

Isabel hates you

[@zandermackay4541]

Hi Dagnel Your next could maybe be getting a 5 star island using Poki

[@Mr.ColaRR]

Weeds

[@fullmoon-ena]

To answer the question about how your star rating went from 3 to 2, Isabelle only takes in consideration the land you have access to. So for the small portion of land, you had met the game requirements that gives you three stars. However, when you begin building inclines and bridges, you now open your access of land to basically the entire map (even if you didn’t build a bridge or incline to access all of it) but the games coding basically says “oh! you have an incline- so now you must have access to everything” and now your requirements to get a 3 star gets bigger.

[@Dagnel]

Interesting. still curious about the 4 -> 3 though!

[@chaosdestructionlove]

Between that and the amount of weeds he collected during the great cleaning, it makes sense now why things got downgraded.

[@cowculating]

@@chaosdestructionlove weeds don't affect the rating

[@Maddydee]

@@Dagnel it was probably weeds, at a certain number of weeds they deduct points from your island rating. Or maybe a bridge was built overnight that made the game realize you accessed that area?

[@RisingRevengeance]

@@cowculating They do affect it but you can overpower them and still get 5 stars with an island full of weeds

[@driplup9522]

Challenge Idea: How fast can you get all of the expressions (laughter, delight, joy, etc.) in the game? There a lot of expressions that are obtained in varied ways so it could be interesting.

[@MinistryOfMagic_DoM]

I haven't messed with Nookazon in a while, but man is it like crack. Once you get a bunch of stuff to sell it's insane trying to manage all the offers you get flooding in.

[@Dagnel]

very overwhelming!

[@fandomloverangel5161]

Same!!! I got so addicted once I actually had to step away from animal crossing entirely for a bit. Now I'm back, and my entire goal is to get rid of what I have and only come back when I have more stuff to sell

[@NecromancerAdept]

Looking into how island evals go, while I can't find a reason for deterioration, there might have been some confusion on what counts as "development" vs "scenery". According to NintendoLife, scenery is flowers and DIY, while development is non-DIY furniture, ramps, and buildings. This is odd because Isabelle, while telling you to focus on scenery, also suggests you "decorate the island". Definitely weird! Idk if dagnel was displaying tradeable furniture items while he got evals, but this might explain why it was so difficult to make the star rating go back up after it dropped.

[@Ace_Ang]

This definitely makes sense he was displaying a lot of what he had so we could visualize his haul.

[@ElTeeger]

I think we can say Dagnel has established his dominance in ACNH. He delivers and listens to the community!

[@Anna-xy7ow]

One thing that I really appreciate about these videos is that you always have that 10 sec timer to remind the viewer to get up and stretch! Great vid as always

[@Dagnel]

Thanks!

[@mythical_m]

Idea for a challenge: How fast can you get all seasonal DIYs (time travelling allowed, Nookazon not allowed). Great video by the way!

I second this idea for a challenge!

[@sltrskid]

i third this

[@caramowol]

[@Chubby_Bub]

Part of why I think this took longer is because you used so many of the same items like stone stools. The game actually gives you more points for using different types of furniture, especially if it's crafted (which you did), outdoorsy, large, and expensive. So if you have a bunch of the same items it will raise your score but not by much.

[@fourleafclovers1204]

I've never used Nookazon before because I've just been scared to to be honest, scared of getting scammed and of interacting with other humans in general. Not only that, there's also just a part of me that would rather try and do everything myself. Still, this has made me feel better about using Nookazon if I ever decide to.

[@winnielou8206]

Just to encourage I've never been scammed yet and I've traded some high value things and villagers :)

[@Dagnel]

If you're not careless then you won't get scammed. Checking potential trader profiles is a surefire way of telling whether they're trustworthy or not.

[@ender8995]

Theres also a way if a person is scamming u and they leave quickly just turn off ur switch completely and it will lose all progress and both people will crash making ur stuff still there :)

[@spit_milk]

Check the star rating and look for legitimate reviews (not just one person creating numerous accounts and rating themselves 5 stars). I've done hundreds of trades on Nookazon and I've never been outright scammed, although receiving a different variant of a wishlist item has been a consistent problem. A lot of people don't pay attention to it. Overall, it's been a great experience. Most traders are fair, honest, and eager to help.

[@gaming4fun38]

On nookazon It’s best to check the amount of stars the person has and and reviews And also if you don’t want the person to fully go around your island it’s a good idea to fence the entrance so the person doesn’t fully go around the island.

[@hubbatch9586]

Really enjoyed the challenge, but I think that you REALLY understated how much people will sell things for on Nookazon. I really think that Crescent moon chair went for 450 NMT legitimately, and it wasn't someone trying to help you out. I personally had to pay 1mil bells for the DIY recipe for it. It made it seem like you were making it intentionally harder- which is fine. Still made for a really good vid :)

[@Dagnel]

maybe! people are pretty wild over there

[@pixyireproductions]

@@Dagnel they really are, I once put up an auction for like 10 mystery bags and was given 100 nmts for it

[@alraightythen]

video idea: pay off all your house loans and/or get a five star island selling only crops. carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, pumpkins, wheat, sugarcane, the works. i did the math and you need around 16,000 crops total to fully pay off your house loans. if you do this challenge, then i wish you luck bc i’m doing it myself right now

[@booped_snoot]

From the memes to the random ferrero rocher and the screaming when fishing... truely a dagnel video!

[@Dagnel]

they were yummy yummy

[@katsgraphics]

For the star rating, I think it's a combination of land access (the more land you can access with bridges and inclines increases, therefore the criteria expands) and post-concert, as that unlocks pathing, which is apart of the rating. Think of your star raring pulling from two separate tables, and they permanently switch once you hit the trigger

[@MajiggerRose]

I will say that this is a pretty standard Nookazon experience (once you both meet up, that is). I've never actually had a bad experience on there. Everyone is very polite and many are quite generous, which compels others to show the same type of generosity and positive interactions. I'm sure you had some fans making offers, but the ones you met up with were probably just folks trying to make your day. That's how it was back when I played. Made me want to pay it forward.

[@emmalouise8153]

new absolutely tedious challenge: randomize a list of 10 villagers (or pick) but you can only get them by hunting on mystery islands. you could decide whether or not you wanted to start from scratch with the tickets or just have them sent to your island.

[@YAKlSOBA]

i really respect dagnel rejecting the higher priced offers to enjoy a fair challenge.

[@Rosercoaster]

You should definitely try: Getting every clothing article (color changes not included, IE the dreamy pink and blue dress) Or getting every DIY recipe If either are too difficult, what about getting an island of the most popular (or least popular) villagers, only from campsites or islands

[@luna-nv3ij]

i have 2 theories for why this challenge was so hard 1) dropped items heavily effect the star rating so if you dropped any items off in your stash before logging off that could be the reason your stars dropped from 4 to 3 2) isabelle might have been asking for non-crafted furniture (not sure if that’s categorized differently than craft d furniture for decoration) and because you focused heavily on crafted furniture it didn’t go up as fast

[@Eli_Mayako]

[@lelaleasl]

weeds impact star rating quite harshly, but if you have under 101 weeds then they don't count for star rating

[@Alexksandrr]

Btw the 30 nmt offer and other high offers werent necessarily from viewers. some people (me too lmao) are so loaded they just throw nmts and bells around. I tend to offer really high even when the item isnt worth that much just because i can. That's just nookazon

[@queentophat225]

So, The answer for the 3 star to 2 star drop was answered, I actually ran into the same problem you did at the 4 star to 3 star drop, when I aimed for 5 stars originally. Isabelle was kind enough to lay it out flat for me. Too many of one item on your island gets penalized. I had too many stone stools on my island which led to the dialogue "too overcrowded by items" Despite me only having about 15 of the damn things on my island at the time and they were no where near each other. So all those stone stools and clay pitchers? yeah, you probably had too many of them. You need appealing scenery but Isabelle also wants variety. x.x

[@ari4311]

i’m pretty sure there’s a penalty for having too many of the same item in a certain amount of space so that could have brought down the rating

[@celsient]

Ultimate challenge idea, complete every museum in all 5 English main animal crossing games

[@logoutyourbody]

Trading in animal crossing is so wholesome. Ppl legit have so many excess bells and nmt that they want to just pay off other ppls loans and projects. Before I restarted my island i gave my friend all the bells i had earned bc it’s fake money but it’s such a nice gesture. Gives me hope that if more irl ppl had excess money to just give away then they would

2 years later and I’m still watching acnh challenges! Love you Dagnel (Walmart Ludwig)

[@babybug2023]

Idk if this would get you to 5 stars faster but the advice I followed online was to decorate your beaches. Isabel drops my rating any time I remove flowers or items from the beaches so it might have a bigger impact than it originally seems

[@a.c.dremix4272]

I think the reason you may have had 3 stars on your first island rating was probably due to you having the items you had to trade as "placed" items rather than "dropped" items, and even still, I think some dropped items count as being "decor," because I know Isabelle tends to say sometimes the reason you may have a low rating is due to villagers thinking you have "junk" every where (junk=random dropped items)... I think tho lol, not suuupper sure but that's my guess lol.

[@ikithanay]

i think maybe it was the variety of furniture- since you used the same ones like hay stacks and log stakes, there wasn’t much variety and so it wasn’t “appealing?” not sure, that’s just my take on it, I have no idea how the rating algorithm works.

[@chrisfowler5428]

Here's another challenge idea including Nookazon! Try to get the most popular villagers using nookazon Here's some rules (you can edit them or add more if you want -w-") - Get the 10 most popular villagers (Ex; Shino, Raymond, Marshal, etc) - You can trade for any of the villagers using Bells, Nook Miles Tickets or Wishlists Items - You can also trade for any of the villagers by trading OTHER villagers (Ex; Trade Goldie for Judy) - (This one's optional) You can wait for any villager to trade or one of the populars in the campsite. Or you can also go to a Dodo Island to hopefully get any villager to trade or one of the populars as well Hope you see this! n_n)/✨✨

[@harlow5985]

started using nookazon because of your videos, im so glad i did! everyone is so nice and patient and honestly, it's fun trading.

[@joeytabora1052]

I am not sure what happened in this particular case, but it's worth noting that it is possible to have too many flowers I believe. Or trees, maybe both, can't exactly remember. Also, even with more furniture placed, you could have a lower score, as you get more points for having more than x number of things within a grid square.

[@SilentMeteorite]

I know this comment is very late, but "scenery" also includes plant life. Possibly building bridges killed a couple flowers that were just pushing you over the edge to 4 stars?
