He has my copy right now (he bought it for me, but then immediately borrowed it because he realized too late he ran out of money), but I'll be getting it back in two weeks. Any general tips, tricks, hints, and advice needed going into this? I'm excited for a 'do nothing but chill' game, something I've not enjoyed in a long, long time. Not 100% convinced it's my kind of game, but my brother said the same thing and he seriously considered rescinding the gift so he could keep the game he bought me, he's liking it so much. |
Well my main tip would be just to take it easy first few days. The game is slow the first day or two limiting where you can go. First thing you want to do is donate 5 (fish or insects) to Tom Nook. This gets Blathers to come to town next day to start setting up museum. Blathers then gives you recipe to make vaulting pole which allows you to cross rivers. Then second day should focus on getting wood supplies for Nook to setup their Nook Cranny shop. You also want to donate more to Blathers once he comes to town so the museum is built from the little shack he first comes to town in. Once main museum is built he gives you recipe to make ladder so you can climb cliffs.
Or you can just wait till day 2 when airport opens up and come to my town or let me come there and I'll drop off all tools like ladder and pole early so you can actually explore your entire island. You also want to plant all fruit that your island didn't start with. Fruit your island start with sells cheap in your town but other fruit not native to your town sells for far more.
Last piece of advice for now is to fish at first. Fishing is your best way to get money. The easiest is rare beetles during summer time. Beetles in summer time mainly on beach like on coconut trees you plant in your town from the nook miles ticket where you can visit random islands. Rare beetles like the golden beetle give you tons of money only problem is that they don't come around till summer time at night.
