The trick with fishing is just to keep doing it. I can't imagine how many fishing rods I've broken - but it does contribute to several of the Nook Miles goals!

That makes sense @Playdoughbum- I can imagine that's why the WhatsApp groups come in handy if they're selling at a certain price....

I don’t think so.
Just checked some other people’s and they were different.
It’s designed to encourage you to use the online subscription I expect.

Turnip selling prices are they the same for everyone at the same times do you think?

@bearlyactive Redd! That's the one- ! He offered a piece for about half a mill then offered it at 5,000- wish I'd taken it now!

Thanks for the info about the tent too 🤗

I seem to get the same fish all the time....(sea bass, black bass, loach, squid) caught a few others on another island (oarfish)...but does this change up? I saw the pp's post about the trout being available at a certain time (thank you!) Is there any others I should be hitting like that??

You get a recipe for a ladder when you are setting up new houses. If you ask people to live on the island, Tom Nook tells you to set up for them.

3girlsandapooch · 19/05/2020 20:06

I'm on day 3, just managed to get all the materials for the shop...so just need to wait for that to be built. Hoping the museum might be ready tomorrow as construction started on that yesterday.

Is there any more materials I need to be saving? When will I be able to build a ladder?

bearlyactive · 19/05/2020 19:01

Taddda You mean Redd! His little ship comes to the secret beach once every week/fortnight/God knows and he sells artwork. One of the pieces he sells will be genuine, the rest will be forgeries. Use this guide to help you identify the real one, then buy it. When it arrives in the mail the next day, donate it to Blathers at the museum.

Also the Resident Services doesn't move, it just becomes a building rather than a tent!

@Playdoughbum Think they must be? Great point about the nook miles tickets! Just bought one now....

What is it with the art?? Nook gave a massive speech about two days ago to 'watch out for dodgy art dealers'...so got approached by one, promptly sent him on his way, then Blathers seems to want it...

Is it just one of those 'take your chances' ones??

No
And now he’s wittering on about art...

Cherryghost · 19/05/2020 16:50

Has anyone filled the museum yet with fossils? I think I can't be far off but then I see loads of empty plinths when I walk round.

Playdoughbum · 19/05/2020 16:12

Taddda are they upgrading it?
Mine is being done today- I got a Nook miles ticket yesterday as you can’t access the machine.

whatonearthmother · 19/05/2020 14:07

I have tried the turnip exchange site - managed to get some new fruits. Cannot remember my highest or lowest selling price

WhiteVixen · 19/05/2020 13:17

@BelleHathor Thank you! Was just about to post a question that you've already answered!! Genius 👍🤗

All the islanders do that - if you put a stereo/radio/other music-playing device out, they will sometimes stand next to it and sing along. Although mine seem to stop every time I go near them!

Playdoughbum · 17/05/2020 22:41

I’ve just gone to tidy up etc before “bed”.
Cherry is standing on the plaza singing. It’s really surreal but completely adorable. This game is the ideal thing for anyone with anxiety.
As long as they don’t want a clean house or anything of course.

bearlyactive · 17/05/2020 20:22

Can I join too? I'm at level 4 and just starting to build my town up. If anyone has a spare microphone hanging around, please think of me...!

I'm going to open my town gates now and close them at around 9-9:30pm, so if anyone wants to come and join...

3girlsandapooch · 17/05/2020 19:22
