Before I played New Horizons, I saw a lot of people talking about “Tarantula Islands.” I had limited knowledge about the AC series in general, so I was confident that a “Tarantula Island” was a variant of the island that I thought you were randomly assigned when you started the game. I thought when people were “trying for tarantula island” it meant they were continuously resetting until there were tarantulas galore. I was really confused when I tuned into CrankGameplays’ livestream and he wasn’t doing just that lmao.

I used to think people were setting up their islands to get higher tarantula spawn rates before playing ACNH (or any animal crossing game, for that matter.)

In the Wild World tutorial, Tom Nook makess you write a letter to a random villager. As long as you don't send the letter (and thus don't complete the tutorial), the villager cannot move out - that's what I heard years ago and that's how I kept my favourite villager forever.

Very interesting to see the "you have to mash A to catch the fish" myth because as a child I thought "if you pressed A more than once you'd retract the bobber and un-catch the fish". I know it's not true but it's funny how I had the opposite interpretation

[@IShy2]

I had the mash A belief for a while when I first got into Animal Crossing New Horizons, because that's how it works in other games with fishing from my experience. I was happy when I found out it wasn't the case

[@hikakakaka4]

when i was playing acww back in, like, 2011, i decided to stay in the able sisters store past their closing hours. i think i may have encountered placeholder dialogue, because i had full friendship with sable but all she would say is "um... who are you?" over and over again. i haven't seen this dialogue since

When I was a kid, I lived with my grandparents and my grandmother had an entire binder that was a printed walk-through of animal crossing to get every type of flower, cross breed, all of the codes for every single furniture item, etc. I used to use the codes all the time because for whatever reason 10-year-old me loved the kiddie furniture, but it was always so funny looking back on it to realize that my grandma made herself an entire walk-through.

When I was in my peak of playing New Leaf, I saw this thing listed on all the wikis and stuff that said that if you sent a good letter (yknow, the villager sees it as positive and friendly) to a villager the opposite gender of your character on Valentine's Day, and I think you had to have high friendship with them too, they'd send you a box of chocolates in return. This was listed in reputable places, and it sounded like something Nintendo would actually do, so I just assumed it was true, but I never actually managed to make it work.

A rumor I remember hearing back in the New Leaf days is that your villagers have a better chance of asking you to build a new public work's project if you swim out in the ocean for several minutes, and then talk to them when they run up to you. I don't know how true it is, but I did that and my villagers finally asked for the police station.

[@meevins]

this is like half true? it didn't increase your chances to for them to request public work projects, it increased your chances of having a villager ping and run up to you. you get public work project requests from these pings so it was turned in a way of farming requests but it didn't guarantee you'd get one from it. to further increase your odds make sure you have an empty wallet and to fill your pockets with flowers. this narrows down the set of questions they can ask you as they won't be able to try to trade with you, offer sales or gift you items which can help speed the process out. i forget why the ocean was picked for this but i believe it was something to do with render distance and you wouldn't be in the villagers line of sight. no idea how true that last part is tho

[@Clouditivity]

it's true as far as they ping you. I know if you have your pockets full of flowers, its a higher chance they ask you for PWP because they can't give you something and they can't take anything from you.

[@missmarymack06]

I’ve always wondered what villagers say after you encounter them on a friends island after they moved out of your island, or what they say when two friends have the same villager. ☺️ love the videos!

[@Koissiel]

As someone who used to get their plots filled with my brother's old villagers, they kinda just say "hey i moved from this island, do you remember me?" or something like that, its cute honestly!

[@mazzy_ivy]

My friend and i used to have the same villager (lionel, from the first campsite) and he would just say the normal dialogue like “hey im lionel oh youre from (island)? Cool” it was pretty sad tbh

[@kattheneeko]

This isn't what you were asking but it's related: I met one of my villagers, Ed, on a dream island and he said something along the lines of "Really?! Running into you here? What's next? Everything I touch turns to gold?" So I wonder if that also applies to a friend's dream island if you have the same villager...

[@AmandaTheStampede]

@@kattheneeko omg that has always been a goal of mine, to do a random dream and find one of my previous villagers. it would be much easier to visit the dream address of someone you know for sure has your old villager

[@LadyMeyneth]

i cant say for new horizons since i've never had a villager move to a friend's island, but i can tell you what happens in new leaf: they will remember you! and you can talk to them and they might bring up memories from when they were living with you in your town. a villager moving to a friend's town in that game is very difficult though because you have to had played with that friend online before or ran with them through streetpass, but it can happen!

[@lauriestark2282]

About the letter thing preventing a villager from moving out, I got to test that twice. In City Folk, Nana (one of my fave villagers) was in boxes randomly without asking recently about moving out. I was shocked (and cried like a baby, as one stable adult does) and I visited her with all the characters I had and it made no difference. I sent her a letter while she was in boxes. The next day, she was still there and in boxes. I sent her another letter, it did the same thing. I think she lasted 2 or 3 days in her boxes because of the letters. She would not write me back but I assume the mail delivery was a glitch and made her stay longer. It happened a few weeks ago with Poppy, she lasted two days in boxes because I was sending her letters. They still moved out but rather than just disappear after 1 box day, they stayed a little longer! This video was so fun! Resetti used to be so savage, the threat of deleting your save file is so horrible! 😆

[@KikurixLia]

More educational AC vids!! Especially with the older titles I found it difficult to tell apart truths and false information, so it was an interesting throwback, especially some most of the City Folk myths I had heard at some point Great job on testing/showing so many of the myths, especially from the older games

@@Dagnel I can only imagine. Makes the effort even greater and it’s much appreciated you confirmed and debunked so many of the misconceptions and myths from the previous titles! (As well as the newest one of course)

[@randomripoff123]

this is one i found out about recently by chance-- when you visit an island's dream address in acnh, if they have a villager that you also have currently on your island (has to live there currently, they can't have moved out/lived there in the past), if you talk to them, they recognize that they're in a dream and they know who you are. it's really cool! i ran into shep and i talked to him in the DA, and he said "oh wow funny running into you here! but it is indeed the same ol' me! i mean...it's my evil twin!" i think, similar to villager dialogue in general, what they say changes slightly depending on whether they're walking around or in their house in the dream.

[@waxwinged_hound]

I've seen the whale! For years I thought I was just misremembering things, but I have seen a massive fish shadow in the first game! I went to the island a whole lot, so I guess there was a decent chance I'd see it at some point.

[@Clovieon]

The fruit mail thing must be related to friendship bc I followed a KZbin tutorial that promised exotic fruit you you typed in "How are you?" EXACTLY. grammar had to be PERFECT. I never tested if any other phrase would work and I always got fruit back and a lovely letter from my villager 😊

[@Twinklethefox9022]

One of my favourite "myths" I heard about animal crossing growing up was the one where in Wild World, if you hit a shovel against tom nook's shop late at night enough times he would wake up and let you inside to shop, complete with him being extra sleepy and wearing a nightgown. Pretty sure I also remembered being told that items had their prices increased during this, too. I always thought it was fake because I tried it myself and it never worked... But it turns out that it's apparently only something that can happen in Japanese copies of Animal Forest..? Not sure about the specifics, but it is pretty funny that something that sounded so much like a childhood rumor ended up being true... just in a completely different, japan-exclusive animal crossing game.

[@ChocolateFantasies]

for the ACNH shovel one, i thought it would never break while you're farming a rock, but it CAN after you hit the rock for the last time (your 7th or 8th one, depends on how quick you were) always love seeing a new video from you 🥰 i started working on getting my ACNH island's weather seed after your zodiac items video haha

[@AllegedlyHuman]

On a related note, in NH, fishing rods and nets are immortal during fishing and bug tourneys respectively. You still use up their durability, but so long as you don't use them outside rounds or get caught in the "showing off what I just caught" animation as the round ends, you can technically use one flimsy tool for the entire day and it won't break

[@StainedGlassLamp]

I'm so happy my comment got featured! I've been a fan of the channel for months and I've been listening to your challenge videos and livestream archives while I draw ever since I found your channel. I cant even count the times I've listened to almost all your challenge videos over the months while drawing at this point. (There are only a very select few youtubers that I will listen to while drawing, too!) Your videos got me back into ACNH, after a long time, as well! I love your work and I can't wait to see more!

[@RLane-xz5cj]

I'd heard something about shoveling weeds too, but it was that it just makes it take longer for them to grow back. I think that was back during the Game Cube days that I'd heard that, and it's just always stuck with me

[@emilyk1926]

First AC game was LGTTC. I was probably around 5 years old when I started playing, no way of telling how old I was when I sent this letter but I was probably between 6 and 8. I have this vivid memory of sending a letter to Walker with a sprinkler as a gift, and writing a heartfelt message along the lines of “I’m sending a letter to ONLY YOU because you are my best friend.” In my memory I got a letter back saying “Wow, is it true that you’re writing to only me?” and for years I didn’t question that at all, until I realised the villager AI definitely did not have that capability.

I didn't expect my random, vague memory of a random, false fact my sibling told me roughly 10 years ago to actually end up in this video (I sent it as a throwaway thinking it wasn't significant enough to end up in the video)! Now that I know that eating a perfect fruit doesn't even help with the wasp stings, I wonder where they got that idea from. Maybe I should ask them next time I get the chance. Great video, by the way! I also now know that I don't have to worry about my shovel breaking when using it to get materials from rocks, which is nice.

[@Anthcny]

12:02: Your shovel's durability actually decreases when you get materials / bells from hitting rocks, but it cannot break this way. It will simply reach 0 and break the next time you dig a hole / hit a rock that doesn't loot anything, meaning you can keep 1 shovel for extracting rock materials forever, as it will never break as long as you use it for getting rock materials I think the developpers made the shovel work this way because breaking your shovel while getting rock materials would be quite annoying as you have to hit rocks quickly to get more materials, but they also made it decrease the durability as it wouldn't make sense otherwise

Defo a myth from city folk, me and my cousins used to play it when we were young and because none of us fully maxed out our house debts they made me believe that the final payment connected tunnels underneath their houses.

I have a vivid memory of finding fake art in Animal Crossing: Population Growing. Forgeries do not exist in any of the GCN games, and I didn't even _know_ this 'til I found Dag's vidoes a week or two ago. I remember digging up art a villager buried, and I attempted donating it to Blathers. Blathers, instead of the "Oh, that's nice, but we only accept [insert categories] as donations," remarked that it was fake and returned it to me. Nook treated it like trash when I tried to sell it. The thing is, I only grew up with GCN. I didn't play another Animal Crossing until about a year after New Leaf came out. I had no prior knowledge of forgeries in the other games, and only had experience of the obvious forgeries in New Leaf. I've never had such a ridiculously vivid false memory. The funny thing is I also associate this day with the only time I'd found a Ruby Echno chair in Animal Crossing. I've found one in E+, but I still have that first Ruby chair in the oldest town our family still has.

I imagine the New Leaf Petaltail Dragonfly myth came from some distorted memories of Chuggaconroy's playthrough of New Leaf a few years back.

Not easier from what I recall but easier than it being flat out not available

[@LadyMeyneth]

it's partially true because even just having your gates open will stop certain bugs from spawning like wasps, tarantulas and scorpions; it doesn't flat out increase its spawn% directly since it is a rare bug, but it does free up those spawn slots so there's a slightly higher chance of it showing up

I remember - at least, i'm fairly certain I did this many times - that in wild world, if you sent furniture to a villager that was packed up to move, they'd be back to normal the next day because they had to place the furniture they received? a regular letter/one without furniture wouldnt work, it had to be something they would place in their house. I'm starting to wonder if I'm remembering wrong, but I'm almost positive this was a trick I did to keep my faves from going when I couldnt convince them to stay myself. i wonder if the unsent at 1:00 was talking about that 🤔 I also never knew until VERY recently that you didn't have to mash or hold A for the fish. blew my mind lol. and I'd heard, also in wild world days, that simply mailing fruit of your home town to a villager would increase your chances of getting the out of town fruit, but no mention of having to say anything specific. I probably did still use the word "Fruit" in my letters though, and i think I had a mixed success rate lol

[@BJGvideos]

I don't know about all the games, but in New Horizons there are absolutely keywords they look for in letters. I thanked villagers for coming to my birthday party and they reacted as if I had gone to THEIRS.

[@diamondfox1580]

That if your trying to get to three or five stars in ACNH if you put the furniture in giant clumps of items it can actually decrease your score instead of boosting it, never actually tried it though, ps keep up the good work with the vids!

[@morpheel]

This probably isn't considered a myth, but when I played Animal Crossing gamecube, I was convinced I would be less likely to catch a sea bass if I kept thinking stuff like "I really want a sea bass" or "This will be a sea bass" when I was fishing. I actually wanted to catch red snappers and barred knifejaws since they were worth a lot more. I thought I was tricking the universe

[@petergriscom3431]

One misconception about the Gamecube Animal Crossing is that villagers can steal items from you. They give you a prompt that misleads you into thinking they're taking one of your items, and giving you a choice of a piece of furniture, a rug, a wallpaper, or nothing in return. The truth is that the "I don't want any of those" option cancels the forced trade, letting you keep the item they're after.

[@clarechaddon2545]

2:30 my sister and I had this same problem. Since we had no means of finding guides for the game, I never learned what it was and why it was there until years later

[@violentturnip]

9:27 I remember there being a specitic phrase you needed to type out in City Folk for something similar, something like "Some fruit, friend?"

[@WhimsyShadows]

Late lol. When I was a kid and playing New Leaf, my friends told me that if you invited a villager via Amiibo then they’d never want to leave because the game assumes you want them to stay… Highly doubt this is real but it was certainly an interesting time watching my young self search through hundreds of villager Amiibo’s so they’d stay at my town. 😭

[@aurafox1]

I would imagine a Petaltail Dragonfly would be easier to find in multiplayer. Not necessarily because of some hidden mechanic, but rather *any* fish, bug, etc would be more easily found with several players wandering the town as opposed to just one.

Babe, wake up. Daniel uploaded!

[@slateportraichu5416]

Ohh, I love myths and rumors. Thank you for making such a video=3

[@Dagnel]

you're welcome!

lets gooooo new dagnel video dropped

[@zardthedragon1896]

Looking back most of the ACNH myths are ridiculous, but I still did them. 😅

[@stompingliger]

ACNH: Your birthday month (or what you choose to put it as) gives you a higher percentage with what kind of starter flowers you’ll get?

[@phoenixmesmer3396]

I suppose the "is breaking rocks faster for farming gold nuggets" question really depends on how fast you can spawn new rocks. Sure, breaking a rock has double the odds to drop a gold nugget compared to a hit, but you can hit a rock 8 times. With 1 break, you have a 2% chance to get 1 gold nugget, but within 8 hits, you have an ~7.7% chance to get (at least) 1 gold nugget. Personally, I think the sheer quantity of 1% chances compared to 2% chances on any given Nook Miles Island makes hitting rocks more effective (and would make me feel more "efficient", lol), but it really depends on how fast you can do either option. The REAL question is: Can you get a gold nugget from a rock you've already hit 8 times?

[@Dagnel]

Yes you can, so the most efficient farming method would be to hit a rock 8 times, then break it

[@Ksweetpea]

I didn't know that shovels won't break when you're hitting rocks in ACNH! I'm very grateful to know this now 😂

[@scout1696]

I already knew you didn't need to mash A to catch fish, it just feels good.

[@sunsoul7314]

I once heard that your birthmonth and month in which you start your game decide what flowers (maybe even fruit?) first appear native on your island. I have no idea if that's true, I don't think so, but who knows

[@Kazito31080]

in ACNL, there was a bug in multiplayer that made you able to push/throw another player on the train tracks. I remember doing this with my cousins but now i don't know if it's a memory or a medala effect

[@Jaybro1928]

Ok, ive never heard this happening to anyone else, but i can SWEAR my first animal crossing gamecube's able sisters shop times were 1am-11pm. Is this a bug or is it actually a super duper rare thing

[@Clouditivity]

i remember my sister telling me that in WW if you sent shells to a villager, you'd only get furniture back. I remember it working but i don't know if it was a coincidence or not. i know it's not as cool as other myths or whatever but, it'd be interesting to try out if you do this again!

[@melio_ghost]

I remember seeing a video on KZbin where someone went into the “dressing room” in the marquee and they said you had to see them perform a specific emotion to get in. Tried for days to get it to work but 10 year old me didn’t know any better lol

[@samwillgoham]

I have a couple for New Leaf from when I was a kid: 1. The internet told me that marriage is a feature in AC:NL. As a 10 year old kid I never tried it because I was like wtf why would I want to marry an animal as a human lmao. But to this day I still can't find a definite answer, but I'm gonna guess it's a myth. 2. Something I THOUGHT was a myth but is actually REAL: Having the option to sell your town for bells that would roll over to your next playthrough. I never tried it, but I swore it was bullshit until I googled it lol

[@elizabethconley4996]

Omg, I tried SO HARD to get into redd's, Katrina's, and Ressetti's place in CF. I got into Redd's ONCE! He didn't turn on the lights tho, and kicked me out when he figured out I heard the secret code from another villager

[@CallMehGrape]

Flowers actually depend on your birthday! Like the month! So it’s actually got a mechanic to it!
