A nice little money trick, that doesn't involve time traveling or spoofing.
If you hoard your tarantula's, Flick; a roaming bug vender will buy them at a premium. One of the random mystery island is a tarantula island, so you can load up there. I think the math is something like 150,000+ bells over selling it to the crooklings, an inventory of 29? comes out to 480,000 bells or so. There are images circling but don't care to find.
I'm so surprised by the amount of people who've come out of the woodworks for this game though. Whether it be impeccable timing, or really good strategic marketing; I just keep seeing a ton of 'first time'rs. Moreso than when I was playing New Leaf, it still felt relatively niche.
Yeah logging in at night and sunset in real time is just like outside. It’s pretty awesome. And a whole new slew of content comes out based on seasons, day/night cycles, rain, snow, etc.
You've been playing the shit out of this? I'll consider getting it. I need something to play in bed.
So, a coworker was talking about this at work, so I read through this thread. I don't mean to be that guy, because I have played (and spent far too much money on) some questionable games, but this sounds just like a mobile game to me. Where you only get to play so much before you have to wait for something to finish, or new content to unlock, etc. Except this one you can't even waste money (like I have plenty) on gems and shit to speed up the process. I don't own a Switch and likely never will, but it is fascinating to me how much this has taken over. I'm sure there is something more to it than the mobile game hook, but it definitely looks like it from the outside.
