Getting one Billion Bells in Animal Crossing

I admire the fact that you had the tenacity to plan and execute this. When I was much younger I thought that I might try to legitimately become a bellionare, but after about 850 ingame days I threw in the towel because I did not have the intimate knowledge of the stalk market. This was so cool to watch.

[@NowCircle-e6d]

When I heard about this I pictured some guy playing animal crossing every day since release for over a decade just to become a billionaire. Now I'm learning that he did it in 180 hours, that would be an hour per day for 6 months. Not exactly impressing me.

[@blueberri5607]

​@@NowCircle-e6dThe game has been out since April 14th 2001 and no one has genuinely without cheating gotten this achievement. He did hours of dedication to finally get the achievement and be the first person to do so. I'd say that's pretty damn impressive

[@timohara7717]

​@@NowCircle-e6dyou know he took a lot of breaks right

[@A_Comfy_Blanket]

He quite litterally does the maths in the beginning of the video and you physically could not have achieved it even if you dedicated a whole decade of your life to consistantly playing this game. He has done this in the most ligitimate way this could have ever been done, and is the first - that's pretty damm impressive@@NowCircle-e6d

[@Hawk7886]

​@@NowCircle-e6d180 hours of grinding a single player game takes a ton of fortitude. Imagine playing with a spreadsheet for five hours each day for five weeks straight, and every few days it implodes, taking multiple days of progress with it. He made a 60GB text file data dump while reverse engineering the thing.

[@EeveeFromAlmia]

Do you remember the Tai soccer team cave rescue? One of the men involved was not only a pro extreme driver, but an experienced anaesthesiologist. This man was legit the ONLY person in this world who was a perfect fit for the only rescue they could do, so much he even got knighted for it. I’m not saying that this is as impressive as saving lives, but you’re both have the same ‘the exact right person for this exact task’ vibes that I am incredibly fascinated by.

I got AC:NH to play with my niece. I’ve never played any AC. I was curious what a bellionaires island looked like, so searched YT. This video was at the top. I can’t believe I watched 40 minutes of that, I couldn’t stop lol. I was blown away by the effort you put into this task, what an achievement congrats! And thanks for putting this together, it was highly entertaining

[@Coldeggman]

Congrats dude! The AC community has come a long way and I'm happy to see you complete this insane accomplishment! ACNH hype!!

[@BrianMp16]

Thanks cold! It's awesome to see the AC community grow. Also, for the record, your 100% no codes AC completion was an inspiration for this challenge, so thanks man! See you NH!

[@ClutchOuya]

Imagine Tom nooks perspective, he baught $1bil bells worth of turnips off you. His wife is pisseddddd

[@LaskyLabs]

You remind me of people like ZFG, Simple Flips, and Oats and Goats. Your knowledge of the game is so vast and so good that you can just think of glitches and strategies right off the top of your head. That's what makes all of them so interesting, because they don't just follow a route, they think on their feet and pull out some obscure but interesting knowledge while doing it.

[@PurplePh0enix]

You've proven to be the premiere authority on AC, and after all these years you have transcended the medium. Hats off to you!

[@greed0599]

I guess it makes sense that vast majority of the fanbase for animal crossing isn't really concerned about min-maxing, considering how casual the game is.

[@qtaroqujo1188]

I don't know if you will ever see this, but I would like to personally thank you for showing screenshots of Animal Crossing Community. Years ago, I learned a lot about Wild World and City Folk that I remember but have never found documented anywhere else, and I remember only being able to upgrade my Nook stores thanks to them. The name was lost to time, and I assumed they had long closed when Fandom replaced them in the search results.

Mp16 is currently under heavy investigation by the animal crossing SEC and is facing life in prison for insider trading with Tom Nook.

[@MA-sv2bs]

I attempted 100%. My rules were: No time travel allowed, no codes, and no glitches. Resetting was allowed (mainly for lucky Katrina bonus and Groundhog day). I basically did everything, but the post office model was too monumental a task for me. I was satisfied with having obtained virtually all items and all gyroids, and completely covering my town in flowers in a pattern to permanently prevent weeds from growing. The gyroids and Gracie took the longest. And it got to the point where I went many months of real time waiting on the Sproid to spawn (probably about 4 months). I actually found out that Wisp can reward gyroids, but I already had the Sproid logged in my catalog and had sold it when I was a kid.

[@Pelladhros]

I earned 1billion bells through that item duplication glitch from memory card travel you talked about, took me about 500 hrs I think in 2013, had to have a barren town to drop stuff. I moreso had the mindset of defining what constitutes 100% completion of a game, because there are a lot of tiny details easy to miss, and then achieving those criteria by any means necessary except for using action replay or hacking, so in-game exploits or glitches were fair game to me. I remember filling up all design slots with artwork, 96 I think, topping out scores of all NES games, and making a perfect town (according to the wishing well) with nothing but golden shovel trees for the aesthetic. And the 100% catalog was awful even with entering codes all day at Nook's, took me a whole summer lol. But your completing it the legitimate way is amazing!

[@yayababatoto]

I’m already at around 5,000,000 bells after two months of new horizons and those numbers are only going to go up exponentially thanks to turnips. I’m astounded that money making in the GCN version is slow enough that nobody reached 99,000,000 in 18 years

[@MrsIggyKirkland]

Old comment, but money making was severely limited in the original GC game. If I remember correctly, there was only four ocean fish, one of them being impossibly hard to catch. In the newer games, you can visit islands where you can catch sharks and fish and super-rare bugs by leveling the island, and get hundreds of thousands of bells in a few hours of effort. That definitely wasn't an option back with these older AC games. They're really come far in that regard.

[@ulkov4255]

[@Rpodnee]

It's insane how many mechanics this game has that I've never even heard of. Such as goods power. Also I lol'd when you refused to say HighGuy.

The most impressive part of this was the time spent buying/selling before you discovered you could predict it. I can't imagine sitting there for six hours running turnips back and forth.

[@Orangesoda65]

It's odd to me such a grand achievement would be left unaccomplished for well over a decade which only requires 180 hours. But I guess it was only so short due to your cataloging of turnip prices. Congrats!

By skipping weeks where the RNG wouldn't work out, so guaranteeing each time you do actually try it you get a spike.
