–SAVE YOUR LEAF TICKETS. These are extremely valuable and the hardest currency to get more of. Don’t waste them early on small projects that take minutes; some projects take days and some items are leaf ticket exclusive. Trust me, you can wait the few minutes in the beginning.
-Honey and fish nets aren’t really worth their price. If you look in an area multiple times (leave and come back) you’ll eventually find what you’re looking for. Honey and fish nets are also sometimes given to you as a log-in bonus and that’s really the best way to use them.
-Calling cards and request tickets are extremely useful; they let you do more requests and earn more materials and build affection with the villager you choose.
-If you shake fruit trees and leave the fruit on the ground, the tree can grow more while you leave the extras for when you need them to save on inventory space. They won’t spoil!
-Shaking trees that don’t grow fruit sometimes drops bells!
-Ask your friends to help you in the quarry, don’t use leaf tickets. It’s not worth it. Helping friends get into the quarry (the orange shovel icon next to them, helping is a button tap) earns you bells, so help each other!
-Bells are fairly easy to come by, but don’t waste them all either. I like to keep about 5,000 at all times in case.
-You unlock more villagers as you level up! Currently there are 40 villagers, with more to be added with future updates.
-Villagers affection level is locked at 7 by default, but building amenities that fit the theme they like will increase their max affection up to level 20, at which point you’ll earn their photo.
-Do all of your villagers requests to earn the supplies you need to craft new objects. Each villager gives out different materials, so help all of them to get what you need!
-Talk to your campsite villagers often, they have gifts for you!
-Don’t put rare items in your market box- they’re the least likely to sell. Sell extra regular items instead.
-Don’t worry about your loan from OK Motors too much. The upgrades don’t add huge amounts of space, so take your time.
-Remember this is a mobile game, and it’s not meant to be played 24/7. This is an app, and it’s not supposed to be played like a regular animal crossing game (playing for longer periods of time). Check in a few times a day and have fun!
