15 Tips I WISH I Knew Sooner In Animal Crossing New Horizons 

Shoutout to @rainbowdino9310, @JemmaTheSimmer, @kaitlyn6194, @AnAnonymousPenguin, @cormorants3391, @justinegambale3391, @alexandrawolfe2224, @ForgottenPixelz, @Mermaid_S for suggesting some of the tips used in this video and thanks to everyone who submitted their own too!

10:56 Another thing about the wasps, every day your island will spawn 5 wasp trees and 2 furniture trees, only on trees that bare no fruit. So you can just fill your island entirely with fruit trees, and keep 7 bare pine trees in a corner. Even better, once you know which of those trees has the wasps in them, the other two will always have the furniture.

You get Nook Miles for the first time you pop a balloon and it falls in the water!

Wasp tip: if you equip yourself with your net before shaking a tree, when the wasp comes out you can hit the A button to catch it rather than it being stung! It wasn't explained very well in the video but this is how you catch them to sell them ☺️

One of my favorite tips has to do with what you carry in your pockets! 2 items I always have on me: DIY Crafting Table and Storage Shed. If you’re taking the time out to decorate your island, have your ENTIRE STORAGE with you is immensely valuable! And having a DIY table is great if you’re out and about and have a broken tool or want to craft wherever you are!

When you move a building, objects like trees, weeds and furniture, that are in the way, will automatically be deleted, but you can find them again in the recycling box inside Resident Services.

When watering crops and flowers on a 3x3, if you use a golden watering can on the back middle tile, you will water all 9 of the flowers or crops!

You can’t move your mailbox immediately, you have to upgrade your house several times first :)

If you like decorating I really do recommend Happy Home Paradise. It was an interesting way to add facilities and more villagers to your game without taking space away from whatever you want to do on your island.

Btw this is a funfact and I never seen anyone discovered this? But when you are sprinting (walk+B button), you can "drift" by quickly tilting the left stick to opposite direction (for example if you run to the right, quickly tilt it to the left) and your character will "drift" to stop sprinting. I just thought its a fun feature that didn't get explained in the game!

My wasp trick which I find is a bit easier, is to have a net held when shaking non-fruit trees. The game automatically lines up your character to the nest/wasps as it falls so all you need to do is swing the net, no aiming required. Just make sure you don't have a ton of stuff under the tree and that you're shaking the tree head on/from the bottom.

the happy home paradise wardell shop is actaully a game changer for me. i don't have much progress in the dlc but now im about to grind that out like crazy

5 wasps + Flick=18,750 bells 1500 from the nests, but if you have a DIY that uses it (honeycomb flooring), that doubles to 3,000 (3600 if bell boom). Though if it is a hot item, that is now 6,000 bells (7,200 if Bell Boom is on) In Summary, if you have the honeycomb item as a hot item+Bell Boom on (and catch the Wasps of course), you can get a maximum of 25,950 bells per day (if you wait until Flick comes for the wasps). I don't though, but still wait for Flick, and thus can still get 21,750 bells per day.

One easy way to make Bells is to catch your five daily wasps (plus one for each Nook Miles Ticket island, if you go) and place them somewhere for temporary storage. Do this every day until Flick visits, and sell all the wasps to Flick. Pretty easy way to make ~300,000+ Bells, without the inherent risk of the Stalk Market. The drawback is, once you get a bunch of wasps placed in one spot, the game lags a bit until they're off-screen. I wish I knew a long time ago that planting flowers in beach sand would keep them from spreading!

If you have your net out when you shake trees you will automatically turn to the wasp - mash a - and Robert’s your mother’s brother! I don’t think the wasp trees stay the same daily though - I’m pretty sure they change! 🤔 I actually made my aesthetic majority fruit trees to cut down how long I had to look for wasps 🤣👌! I have maybe ten normal trees in total 😆!

On the topic of wasps, you can stand in a gazebo, so you can easily catch them and not having to worry about getting stung by them

To go along with learning where your wasp trees are, there is a guaranteed way to catch the wasps every time, which can earn you a ton of bells. Especially if you hang onto them until a time where Flick is on your island. Make sure you are holding your net. Face North/Towards the top of your island. Shake the tree. As soon as your player reacts in surprise, you'll turn towards the wasps. Swing your net immediately and you'll catch the wasp. Unless my timing is really off, I catch them every time. All of my wasp trees are in the same area, which funnily enough, I did on accident. It wasn't until I watched this video, that I realized why they always come from the same trees. I've commented about this before, but haven't seen anything about it in any of your videos. I really hope you see it as I think it will really help a lot of people.

I’ve been pointlessly wishing on SO. MANY. STARS. UGHHhh. Thank you sm for this info.

I don't know if this has changed but, I remember when I got fossils and buried them back again they will still be on the same spot the next day and you won't get new fossils spawning. So if you completed the fossil exhibition at the museum and no longer want to search for fossils (even tho you get a good amount of bells selling them) you should take all your fossils and buried them together whenever you want and you shouldn't get new fossils spawning.

I didn’t know that Celeste would appear in your roost if she planned to wander your island later that night. Very cool!

On Mondays you can speak with Joan at the clinic and she will give you turnips for free! She usually gives me 100!

You can use your phone to preform Reactions in game. Looks really nice and smooth for videos

For the trees with wasps you can also mark near it using the path tool with a design you know or get creative with a warning sign speaking of path tools u can also create an invisible path and you will never know its there but is helpful to control flowers from blooming in places you dont want. Also placing invisible paths will stop any fossils/bells from spawning in odd places such as right behind houses or buildings or on a blind spot of a cliff

Best tip I have for wasp is to have your net in hand, stand directly in front of the tree (make sure nothing is laying on the ground on either side) ad shake. Your character will automatically look at the fallen nest. After they react from the nest appearing, hit the button and success catch. Also make sure there are no villagers nearby that could accidentally talk to you instead of catching the wasp. This works for trees that are slightly obscured by something else.

Thanks for the tip on the wasps. I hate those things, so it will be nice to know where the trees are and not have to deal with them. Perhaps I'll make a forbidden Forrest area where you shake trees at your own risk.

here's a tip i use so there's this glowing spot on the island every day right? so i usually dig it up and plant 10 000 bells in it then i time travel to the next day and repeat the process. So when i've time traveled a few times there'll be a money tree with 30 000 bells every day for me . I also hit the money rock on the island each day to get some extra cash. I've managed to pay off 2 brick staircases and my house upgrade (548 000) bells in just 2 days of playing in real time with this trick it's just a really simple and quick way to earn money.

You can bury more than the 1000 bells you dig up in the glowing holes and they will multiply x3. More than 10K bells don't always duplicate--often you will get just 3 bags of 10K bells--but you will always get at least that.

My upstairs is my bug room, I stock up on wasps until Flick shows up. Easy way to catch wasps is to always hold your net while shaking the tree, always shake from the front, and spam "a". Your character will automatically turn the direction of the nest so you'll catch it without doing much

I don't know if this is just me, but I thought I would share my observation. I have seen many people saying they were not getting many event DIY from balloon drops, like the Sakura DIY. At first I got lots, and then hardly any.. but after some boredom I went catching petals again and the DIY balloons started showing up one after the other again. It could just be me by random chance but I have noticed a pattern. If you want the DIY then farm the resources needed for them, it seems to trigger them to spawn quicker. So even if you already have a ton of them but still need the DIY to complete the set, try going out and getting them again. It may start slow but keep at it. I hope this helps someone, I couldn't find any info like this when I went looking for a fix before.

Hi, a super tip on wasps. Have your net equipped and stand due south of your tree when shaking it. Then if a Wasp does fall just wait until gain control again and swing and you will catch that Wasp everytime. Don't use any other moving arrows just press A. Works everytime. Happy hunting!

The shop at HHP… I had no idea. Thanks for the tip!

Whoa! You can do that with crops you harvested??? I saw that online and I was like that’s fake, but I trust you so I’ma try it 😂

Thank you for the info, I didn’t know about the NookLink which is very helpful so thanks!

Nook Shopping (accessible in the resident services building ATM or on your NookPhone) has the same function as Wardell's shop.

My first visitor was Julian. Hes still on my island. I love him.

Great vid! I am always surprised what ppl didn't know! 😅

The very first villager I got in a campsite was Lucha! (I was so relived that it wasn’t chops xD)

Omg thank goodness for the mailbox one! I have to move my flower bed out of the way every day 😂

As said before,every day we get 5 wasp trees and 2 furniture. Add pipe next to the 7/5 wasp trees,and use it to teleport after shaking or plant them exactly next to your home or neighbor and get in after shaking :)

I never knew about the secret shop at the DLC

when you dig a hole don't press A press Y your villager will kick dirt over it and saves a tone of durability

i usually make money using fossils (especially once i finish that part of the museum) and crops. it makes a lot of money and some days i’ll get like 75,000 just off of fish and crops and fossils.

To clarify the wardell shop, you need to spend 150k poki or more.

it is beneficial to get ac pocket camp for some people because it can lend you some positives and it unlocks some new furniture

Bob's Gang. I didn't know about ALL the unlocks for happy home designers.

Put a crafting table and the abd in your basement, place a pipe and carry the other pipe around. Makes everything easier.

Ye, I got Raymond my first camper. I'm really glad, he's my favorite so far and has been with me my entire playthrough, and I got us to be best friends. I think during my New Leaf island he was there too but I don't remember about that one

To catch a wasp I usually shake a tree, run directly up a bit of ways, open up my pocket to equip my net, once equipped it turns your character around and I just hold A until I see the wasps close by and then catch them.

Once you decorate a house in the DLC, talk to the villager you designed for if they appear on the main island. They hang out in the back near the beach. They will give you an item you used in their build (typically wallpaper or flooring)!

I don't think I've ever gotten any Nook Miles for making wishes on stars. 🤔

Holding your net while shaking trees practically guarantees not being stung by wasps. Your character will face the wasp in their initial shock animation, you can mash A to catch the wasp immediately.

The DLC was a must-have just so I could redecorate my villager's houses. It's an excellent tool if you really want to take that extra step with an island theme. You can turn your villager's house into a school, a hospital, part of a castle, the Three Broomsticks, Kiki's Bakery, a Pokemon Center, ANYTHING!

Love my boy chops!

Your island is gorgeous

Tip: If you overload one acre with a lot of stuff, Isabelle will say something about it and it will also affect your star rating, find your prefered style and decorate it to your own taste

I've shook every tree on my island and I've never seen more than 1 item. I keep the space around the tree fairly clear too.

Catching wasps is actually pretty easy. Just make sure you have your net equipped, shake the tree from directly south, and as soon as the nest drops, start spamming the button to use your net, as you'll automatically face the wasps when they fall out of the tree.

On the wasp nests, there’s a priority order for the trees’ drops. If you have five or less non-fruit-bearing trees, every one will have a wasp nest once every day. If you have seven, five of them will each have a wasp nest, and two will each have a furniture item. This happens every day, you’re guaranteed to get five wasp nests and two furniture items if you shake all seven trees, but which trees drop wasp nests and which trees drop furniture is different every day. I think the next thing on the priority list is 100 bells, but I’m not sure how many spawn a day.

I knew Wardell was hiding something from me lol that’s so cool

Bobs gang I also noticed theres an easy way to catch tarantulas. The easy way is a bit slow its like red light green light, so what you do is go up to the tarantula and when he puts his little hands up STOP, then when he lowers it you wanna keep going. The hard way to catch tarantulas is to just run up to them and catch them, but you have to be super precise for that, its easier when theyre facing away from you, itll do a little jump animation when theyre about to chase you so you got a split second

when shaking trees i always have my net equipped and shake from the front of the tree and as soon as wasps spawn keep spamming a button and boom easy wasp catches😊😊

Can you explain the little library. Where do the books come from so I can make it?

Wardell's shop i didn't even know D: HELP

I honestly didn't know you could get food recipes from the restaurant in hhp and i gasped once i heard you could..

I'm really late to getting the game, but what is the place with Brewster in it? Ive never seen it

thanks

I honestly just run around with a net and catch five wasps before getting crafting supplies that I would need.

I got lucky with my smug camper - Kidd! We're great friends

Thanks

No joke, Raymond was my second camper. At the time I had no idea he was so coveted

You can start running into buildings when wasps nest dropped from a tree to avoid being stunk

Amazing 🤩

For some reason I when I don’t heal my stings from wasps when I come back the next day or smth like that it goes away

i found about the mail box when i accidentally picked it up lmao

I didn't know about Wardell! I let down my boy! 😭😭

Frankly I think the NookLink is very, very not-werf, especially if you have a modded Switch. To use it you need a NSO subscription, which is not anywhere close to being worth the money, and if you've modded your Switch then you can't really use those advantages *and* use NookLink at the same time - not without risking a ban. Even the Turnip Tracker isn't worth it, even if you don't have a modded Switch, because there are free apps - you know, that don't require you to basically let Nintendo rip you off every month - that do that same thing. Also, wasps: If you equip your net and shake a tree only from its south side, then nest will always drop right next to you and your character will always turn to face it in such a way that you can immediately catch the wasp by either carefully timing the A button, or just mashing it. Shaking the tree from any other square will drop the nest somewhere you can't reach with your nest, but by shaking the tree from its immediate south you will always be in the perfect position. And it can be worth it, because Flick will pay you 5,000 Bells for each one, so that's 25k of potential earnings for each day.

For the wishing on a star, I got 40 star fragments on my own. I think I was just lucky.

10:17 how do i find that ground design, it reminds me of the old games but my countless search online gote nowheres. I neeeeeed it.

This video saved be from grey hairs!!! You got yourself a new follower 🎉

I guess the wasp tip would work, but I think it’s just too much work to avoid. Because couldn’t there be a chance that one of the trees you didn’t separate have a wasp next spawn in it?

When I get chased by wasps and don’t have a net out I run into a nearby villagers house to not get stung.

My wasps move to different trees and I’ve had up to 4 different trees with wasps in the same day.

Do you have a dream address? Your island looks amazing ☺️

Have you tried to catch that hairy spider or scorpio at night? Scary!

I got Raymond on my first campsite 😁😁

Any tips of getting every fruit for your island? I’m only missing oranges and apples :(

Oh my, I'm here too early to leave a proper comment. 👀

Bob's going down below!

Until I accidently popped a balloon in the river, I still had the same slingshot I bought ever, and ive been using it for months now and as soon as that balloon fell into the river my slingshot broke

The downfall of using Wardell's catalog is that you can't buy any clothing items (except for HHP exclusives)

Hi! Where can I see a tour of this island?

If you fail in stuff or keep doing the same activity over and over you can get TONS of miles

How do you get that shop? How do you get the dlc?I don't know there was a bar or restaurant!!

What is the happy & paradise please or what's a dlc? Thank you

biggest flex is I got Raymond first time in the campsite

Justice for Chops !

My first camper was Raymond

You need the tools to break for DIY Tools 3,000 so I only use the cheap ones right now.

Bobs game I also have a tip to share don't know of anyone has found this put yet but when you talk to a character that says the same thing you can speed up the conversation by pressing b every time the say something

I can’t find the nook link app on my phone, how do I get it??
