Where to Start on Your Animal Crossing Island — Tips and Tricks // Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Hello and thank you very much for tuning in to Lex Play today. This video will be an overview of what the first few days on my

island

will be like, so I'll

start

with a short montage of what the beginning was like. My

island

was very enjoyable, so those clips were

your

official introduction to my new island Lost Falls. I'll go ahead and share my map with you so you can see what I'm going to design for some people. For those who play this game, choosing a map is a big part of its design process, having rivers to empty in particular directions or having a specific colored airport, but for me what really sold this map was the huge beach rock to the left, that was my only thought. big beach rock, you can notice that I placed my two villager tents and my tent on the beach and that is something I always do deliberately and it is actually a suggestion that I have if you place all the possible buildings on the beach from the beginning.

You won't have to worry about moving them back and forth when you

start

terraforming, so whether you're starting or restarting

your

island, I think the most important thing to do at the beginning of the game is exactly what I'm doing here. talk to tom nook talk to him over and over again throughout the day if you ask him what i should do he will tell you exactly what you need to do to advance the story talking to him will take you faster and really help you get the most out of every day in the game. I know on my first island I definitely didn't make the most of each day and I didn't time travel, so it took me a long time to do things like open the museum and Nook's Rift and especially upgrade Nook's Rift, um, so yes, talking to him on the first day will be a real life changer, just keep talking to him during the first few days of the game, as well as constantly talking to our fearless leader Tom Nook.

I think we can all agree that a very important thing to do in these early days of the game is to start collecting bells, and corner mile bells will allow you to acquire furniture more easily and are nice to have to pay for. pay off your loans by moving things just a bunch of things at the beginning of the game and you can get them just by catching fish and bugs and selling them to the twins in the corner of course everyone has their own priorities in the game but personally in the beginning I really I try to accumulate as many Nook Miles as possible, those will be important for unlocking terraforming, getting the permits, they will also pay off your first loan and are very easy to get at the beginning, I feel like my Nook's phone is constantly ringing with new achievements Nook miles, so a very easy way to start is to simply weed and pick up all your weeds, if you sell them to the Nook twins you will get a considerable amount of Nook miles.

Um, with this greedy weeder achievement, you can sell up to 3000 and get more and more miles for each achievement, so it's definitely an easy way to occupy yourself on the first day when you can't really design and also build. Your Nook miles for when you need them at the bell point. One very important piece of advice I have for you is to refrain from selling your fruit on your island to the Nook twins. You can get a lot more money selling your native fruit. an island that does not have the same native fruit and vice versa, if you find fruit that is not native to your island, you will get many more bells by selling it in your corners or to the twins at the beginning and So that is a quick way to get bells faster: sell your fruit more efficiently.

Now, if you've been talking to Tom Nook and your villagers, you should have a shovel by the second day of the game with which you can dig up this little glow. Place in the ground just digging will get you 1000 bells, but if you rebury those bells instead of covering the hole you dug it will produce a tree that will triple your winnings and drop three bags of 1000 bells. This is valid for up to ten thousand bags of bells, if you bury a bag worth ten thousand bells, three of those bags will grow from the tree, thus turning your ten thousand bells into thirty thousand, so my next tip at the beginning is to find DIY.

It will be one of your priorities so you can start building things and every day you will find one of these little bottles on the beach so you will want to pick it up and see what kind of DIY it is, eventually I started getting a lot of duplicates but at first they are all new and it's also interesting for me to see which villager they are from, so learn them, make sure you pay attention and collect them every day. Very importantly, there are also huge benefits to starting your island later in 2020 instead of right after launch, because now with the update you can buy a wetsuit from Timmy at the start of the game when you're still in a tent in forest services and As you know, the wetsuit allows you to dive, so this area of ​​your island that you previously couldn't reach until you had a pole is now accessible on your first day, as long as you get the bells , buy a wetsuit and swim in It is a great advantage to be able to access the entire island, apart from the cliffs, from the beginning.

You can go ahead and see what your native flower is. You can go ahead and get all the weeds in this area. It's something that I don't think you'll think about when starting the game, but it allows you to explore a little more and get out of that little area that's unlocked from the beginning, like you needed more reasons to try diving at the beginning. In the game you can also catch scallops to meet Pascal who will give you mermaid crafts and also pearls. Now that you have your crafts, you will need resources to create them and although you can easily farm resources on your own island, I find this particularly difficult.

Useful for farming mysterious island resources on these islands, you can find more weeds to reach your greedy weeder achievement, but you can also shake the trees to find which tree on the island has a piece of furniture and you can collect more fruits, sometimes different from the ones. native. Also take coconuts home and you can start planting palm trees on your beach. If you've been talking to Tom Nook, you know that you'll need at least one of every new fish or insect you find. To open your entire museum instead of just the Blather tent, these can take up a lot of storage space at first when you can't just donate them whenever you want, so I suggest storing them outside

where

ver you have placed the Blather tent.

This way you can donate them as needed and they won't take up storage or inventory space when you're so limited that you can also learn cute new things about the creatures you place, like the fact that some of them have really cute cages or there aren't even any cages. like this turtle that you can place any

where

almost like it's your little island pet and now for my last segment of advice, I highly recommend inviting a friend if you have one who plays Animal Crossing and is further along in the game. They can bring you bells or any extra DIYs they have, as well as all the fruits you need, and this will really boost your island and help you avoid some of the early frustrations, all you need to do this.

It's a nintendo switch online membership and if you don't have one you can always try the seven day trial just to let your friend come over once as you can see I've invited myself for a little exception um I'm going to bring my other account with an outfit that I would like because I think we can all agree that the starting outfit is a tragedy and then I also bought several other items that I think are essential for the beginning of the game, obviously this is just a suggestion and you can complete the game very easily on your own, you don't need a friend to come, this speeds up the process of finding DIY and building corners that will require 30 iron nuggets, among other resources, and so on.

Personally, I found it very convenient to do That, besides bringing me some bells just to get started, like I said, it's also very helpful to have a friend leave you an outfit you like, since it's a bit of time whether you time travel or not before you get the clothes from Mabel and all the capable sisters, so it can be really encouraging to have a nice outfit at first and also be able to customize your hair, and that's at the price of your friend's dignity, but if they care about you, they'll bring you clothes depending How clever your friend is.

It would also be very helpful if they could bring gold tools because if you hold them you don't even need the DIY if you hold each of the gold tools. I will unlock several of the Nook Miles achievements so you can see here I collect each of the six tools and when I open my Nook phone I will have a bunch of new miles, literally thousands, just by holding these golden tools, I will also unlock a There are a few titles for you, so it's exciting and it's a good idea if you're trying to accumulate these nooks for any reason, whether it's to open up more pocket space, get the tool ring, and open up new hairstyles, there are plenty of reasons to do it. spend miles at the beginning and this will set you up for success, even if your friend doesn't have gold tools or you don't want them, you will get miles just for inviting your friend, while I certainly didn't cover all of what you need to do at the beginning of the game.

I definitely think Tom Nook will guide you in the right direction and I hope these

tips

tips

and
