Animal Crossing: New Horizons Guide - 15 tips and tricks for the best island vacation

With Animal Crossing a lot has changed - here are some tips to make the most of it.

It is a few long years ago, but finally, Wildwechsel has returned to Nintendos home console scene. While Animal Crossing: New Horizonte still embodies the joy of living in a narrow community with cute villagers. There are a lot that has changed compared to previous titles. Let us pass 15 different tips and tricks that you should take into account when playing.

Choose your hemisphere

After starting the game, you will be prompted to select a layout for your island. It is also important to choose which hemisphere, as the game adjusts the seasons in the game accordingly. This is a great deviation from earlier games, as standard only the northern hemisphere was activated.

Seasonal Beetle and Fish

The fishing and catching of beetles are some of the most relaxing past times wild change and that remains true in neute horizonte . Over time, you will find that certain beetles and fish can only be caught on certain days or at certain seasons. Make sure you look around in your Nook Phone after already collected fish and insects.

Collect everything

If you start your island for the first time, there will be no busy city, so you should walk around and collect as much as possible. Sell ​​almost everything that is not useful for some early bells. The game introduces the crafting. Even if you find garbage, this can be useful in a way. Remember not to sell too much of your craft materials, as these are later needed for the construction of homes. Also avoid selling articles about the Dropbox next to Nook s Cranny, as you do not receive the full value through the sale.

Nook Miles +

To the many things that Tom Nook will give you at the beginning, the Nook Phone belongs. With the new NOOK MILES program, you can claim rewards for the completion of different tasks. If you are right away for something that you can do immediately, read the section Nook Miles +. These are essentially daily newspapers that offer faster goals that can be achieved for additional miles. It s worth it, even though you will be accessible only if you get a house loan.

Tool break

The crafting is double important, since now every tool can break. Yes, even your fishing rod can break by too much use and there are no indicators for when a tool will finally get into the bucket. Always make sure you have enough craft material to create replacement. You should also unlock recipes for stronger tools as they fail much slower. However, if you have less high quality materials like iron, it is still possible to make a weaker version of a tool and to get along.

Donation fossils at Nook

Fossils are discovered by localizing and excavated different places on the floor (marked with an X). While Blathers, museum will not be present from the beginning, you can still donate all previously discovered fossils to Tom Nook. And if you are wondering how you can bring Blathers to the island, this happens after making a fishing rod and a network for NOK. Then you have to bring him a total of five fish and / or beetle. Blathers should contact them soon.

Museum donation tip

The building of the museum takes some time - first you have to select a location, then you have to donate about 15 exhibits and so on. However, check the CRITTERSPEDIA app on your Nook Phone on article that you have previously donated to Blathers. If you have multiple items and even donated a previously donated, Blathers rejects the entire lot. This means to go through the entire process again. It is an inconvenience that hopefully resolved in a future change in quality of life.

Let objects drop

The Pocket Organizer and the Wheel tool should be unlocked with Nook Miles as soon as possible as they significantly improve the inventory management and tool selection. However, if the place goes out, let all items fall on the island. It stays there indefinitely and stay as good as sure to resume it.

Motels tinker

In the course of the game you will quickly make furniture, decorations and other items to fill your home after different recipes. If you want to customize more items, Tom Nook s purchasing sets look at. You can also customize the appearance of different elements with a workbench to give you a more personal touch.

Luminous spots

Glowing stains return back Animal Crossing: New Horizonte and they have the same function as previous games. If you dig, you usually get 1,000 bells, but sometimes even more (in earlier games it was 10,000 and 30,000, which should be the case here too). Glowing spots can also be used to breed money trees - they just bury a bag of bells at this point. However, it is not guaranteed that a money tree sprouts. So think about it before investing.

Isle tour cost

As soon as you have collected enough Nook Miles, you can do an Isle tour. If you buy a ticket, you can visit a randomly generated island, collect items and so on. Here is the kicker: An Isle Tour Ticket costs 2000 Nook Miles. If you have the miles left or really want to see what s out there, then make it.

Do not leave anything on casual islands

Another note when visiting random islands about the Isle Tour: Be sure to leave nothing. You can not return to the same island again, so all of the items weighed are lost forever. Make sure you have enough inventory place before going on. On the other hand, you have a free letter to take everything you want from the island. If there are fruits, fish or other items that are not on your island, you can collect them. Especially fruits help to build more varieties at home.

Floating packages

At certain points of the day, packets hover on balloons in the sky. Keep a spin ready to shoot it and get the rewards contained therein. Also pay attention to where you bring the packages down. If you fall into a waters, the package is lost.

Optimized house arrangement

The editing and arranging of your own house becomes much easier New Horizonte . If you press the left Joycon, you will receive a better view of your house. It is also possible to move several elements simultaneously by holding down the R key, which is helpful when arranging. If you have ever feeling to decorate your house in earlier games, it should be much slimmer.

Unlock the Iceland designer app

The Iceland designer app is a final content - it helps create paths when tearing up cliffs, watering and work. You must enlarge the population of the island, gaining more visitors, build more houses for the residents, conclude some other events (which we do not spoil) and finally unlock the Iceland designer app. But wait, first you need to acquire different approvals for different editing tasks. Waterscaping and Cliff building permits are each 6000 Nook Miles and certainly the most important. If you want to tear the island quickly, they first get them.
