ACNH Tips I Wish I Knew When I Started

Must-know Animal Crossing New Horizons tips! A collection of info and tips that would have saved me a lot of time (and made me a lot of Bells) had I known them sooner. So many empty trees shaken and wasp stings in my first weeks with ACNH. This collection of Animal Crossing New Horizon's beginner tips will show you the essential daily to-do list, how to get 55k guaranteed, easy bells per day to start you off, how to camp gift balloons, how to guarantee find your two daily pieces of furniture from trees and more.

I am generally a World of Warcraft channel and that's not changing with this- I've just been playing a lot of ACNH and wanted to share some tips with anyone starting late! My videos and streams will continue to be largely WoW-centric.

she really just shook the tree with wasps in it and immediately caught them like a *god* while i manage to get stung *every time*

[Vercalos]

Not really a money earning tip, but a fun one all the same: when you run across a villager either singing or playing an instrument, if you set a radio down nearby and start playing music, they'll start singing/playing along to the song.

A really big tip I recommend is whenever you catch a fish or bug to see if it says “Yes!” Then you don’t have that creature. If it doesn’t say that then you do already have it :)

[BimBo._.]

Another tip; if you’re just starting your island and don’t have a museum yet, or even the option for one, dedicate a spot on your island to just stacking a bunch of bugs and fish. This can get you an early start to a museum and prevent from taking up a bunch of your inventory.

This person deserves a medal. Saved my actual life with the wasps.

Don’t know if you know this Hazel, but if you push the piano bench up to the piano you can sit on it and swivel to play! That made me happier than it should have - so I wanted to share!

Me who started the game three days ago: YOU HAVE OVER 2 MILLION BELLS IN UR LOANS?! *faints*

[christianzombievampire]

"Who wants to count tool uses?"
Me, looking at my paper entirely covered in tally marks going up to 29: haha yeah that would be so crazy...

[cydie]

i've found a lot of people don't know this, but toilets also work
if you've eaten fruit, you can get rid of them by sitting on a toilet

[kymbaahearn]

You don't have to clearcut and replant to find out what your trees are; eat a fruit, dig up a tree with the shovel, you can see it in your bag and it will tell you what type it is.

[crystalpelletier]

The tip about fruit tree spacing really helped, so here's a tip about money trees you may or may not know:

If Isabell says something about horoscope and having good luck in the daily announcements, you can plant 99, 000 bells that day, and that specific tree will grow to drop 3 bags with 99, 000 bells in each.

Wow I'm late! I'm sure you know then. . . oh well. :P

[medicine]

when I first started I literally didn’t know you could shake trees for sticks, so I was stuck for about a day just trying to get more sticks to craft stuff 🤦‍♀️

[erinmangan]

Also, don't shoot down balloons when you're completely surrounded by flowers, it will dissapear

[TJAnderson]

Money tree location tip: once you've planted your bag of bells you can immediately dig up the sapling and bury it on a plot where you'll know to look for it and it'll grow just fine. I transplant all of mine to the same location so that I don't have to run all over my island to figure out where I planned my money tree the days ago.

[theoking]

Unless you are planning on cutting down trees, always craft a flimsy axe! Every time you hit a rock, always do it with a flimsy axe. It doesn't matter which axe, but once you break 100 axes, you will learn the DIY for the golden axe. So to insure that you'll get that as soon as possible, always use your flimsy axe when you can!

[alexandrea]

i never even knew you could catch the wasps 😂 i just ran for my life into a building 💀

[koopakape]

Talking to Sable is the most important tip in the game. Every Sable in every game deserves to be happy ;_;

Makes me wonder if we'll be getting Brewster again, since he had a similar(ly adorable) situation.

[agapeflores]

Another tip. Go sea diving!!!! whatever you catch in there pays well

[mattgallegos]

**Angrily pointing cane at you** You damn kids have it too easy! Why, back in MY day, you couldn't shake trees with tools attached! You had to run TWENTY.FIVE. feet ahead and equip your net and THEN, if you were lucky, turn around fast enough to catch the wasps. Luckily we had multiple NPC buildings in fixed locations that we could run into if we couldn't do it in time, AND WE WERE GRATEFUL FOR IT TOO!
