Let's talk about making big Bells.

In past games, my goal was to convert my entire town to a huge orchard of non-native fruit trees. Then I would spend 30-40 minutes every four days making a TON of money. I can't remember exactly but I want to say it used to be like 500,000 or so?

Now, though, I'm not sure that's the most effective way to make money anymore. I can spend 30 minutes on the island catching beatles/sharks and make a lot, close to 100,000 and I can do this at any time.

Do you guys still think the giant orchard method is still worth pursuing? Is there another big Bell method I'm overlooking (not including turnips, which I hate dealing with)?
 
Gimme 10 minutes to sell my shit and I'll start inviting people in if they want to sell. Sadly we only have an hour and a half until the prices change. But maybe they'll go higher! Or be still high.

Time traveling takes out too much fun out of AC, imo.

Yes, i know, but it's fine to me, especially when I really only get a chance to play at night, so I skip to the opposite time of the day. haha :)

I'm around the same progress as everyone else though, so I'm not cheating myself so much, other than fossils, but that was only yesterday because I was bored and it was a rainy day in my AC town and gyroids were everywhere. Got them stuffed in my dresser.

If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to just sell my 10 measly turnips.

Soon, they'll be 2 bells in my town at the rate it's going, haha.

Why not do both? (Or all 3 if you don't mind playing the turnip game.)

I'm waiting until I get my silver axe before going crazy with tree organization.
Want special stumps when I chop those non-fruit bearing/native fruit trees down.
May even keep a few around instead of replacing them if mushrooms pay off especially nice.
 
Dammit, so I did my entire morning routine, added new entries into my museum, did some villager requests and made a good amount of progress.
And then while walking around my game card came out of my 3DS. I thought Resetti was supposed to be a save backup or something, but I guess not since none of my flowers are watered, my fossils are undug, all weeds are back and my new museum entries are gone.
So what exactly is Resetti supposed to do?

Oooh! My Retail is buying regular sharks for 30,000 bells. Hell yeah! Time to do some shark fishin'.

Also if anyone has a silver axe at their island I would love to come buy a few (or trade if you buy it for me)

Oh crap, if you have an iPhone, you can convert any image into an AC QR code (quality may vary).

Download this free app, and you can use any image on your phone and convert it. I just did it and it worked like a charm. NO MORE GOING CRAZY FROM TAPPING SQUARES.

I'm an Android peasant, it's iPhone exclusive I take it? :(

How long is your retail open for? I'd love to sell my sharks at your town if you let me :D

Give you a lecture about the importance of saving before quitting.

Good point. I'll do both to maximise profits. I hope there is no penalty for having too many fruit trees because my residents are going to be overrun with them. :)

Turnips just don't interest me because I don't like the hassle of having to travel to strangers' towns get good deals or take a risk.

Kicks is under construction, the Nooklings' store is being renovated, the Dream Suite just opened, and the QR Reader has been unlocked. My Animal Crossing town is booming.

My Dream address is 4300-2145-4240 if anyone wants to see my town.
 
Sweet. I want to sell my turnips or maybe should I wait tomorrow for an increase? :lol
The market is craycray. Maybe someone else will come up with a better price later on.

But, as of now I can't help you guys out since I am at work. Only my evening prices would be beneficial because I get out of work then.

2 AM mainland Europe time.

If I already have you as a friend, then sure come by and sell. But catch a few and come by later on. I'm not playing right now
 
I added anyone who PMed me. I am opening my gates RIGHT NOW.

It is 10:26am in my time zone. Bell prices change at 12:00pm. We don't have much time. I will check my bell prices at noon and see if they are roughly as good or EVEN BETTER.

I think he might be dead.

Nah I had to sell all my turnips! I finished up so lets GOOOO.


edit: Technically I got 200 more turnips to sell off.

This game starts off sooooo slow. I've had to wait around for shops to open or people to come out for an hour or so every day. Once you get 100% approval do things pick up?

I've got a few spare arcade cabinets and I'm looking to trade for persimmon, perfect fruits, Nintendo items and rare flowers. I'll give just about anything for Majora's Mask!

FC: 1203-9315-3113 (Danny); PM me and I'll add you back!

EDIT: On hold for now as I've had a bunch of PMs. I'll be able to get more via the HH Showcase thing in a day or two. I'm going to stock up over the weekend for GAFfers as the interest is obviously here and it's easy enough for me with StreetPass in Japan.

I think everyone trying to pile into your town is destroying the game.

I've got a few spare arcade cabinets and I'm looking to trade for the fruit I'm missing - bananas, apples, oranges, pears and persimmon. If you can bring me whatever you can spare I'll sort you out with one.

Also interested in rare flowers and would give just about anything for Majora's Mask!

I have oranges...FC in PM coming

edit: i have pears too

Wow, this is the first time I've visited someone else's town. It's annoying that you have to save and watch a cut-scene every time someone arrives.
