Im creating this guide so people can get the most out of this game. Also, for you people who are sticklers about safety, I have personally tested every tip in this guide, and it is all safe. Heres a forewarning, Im quite humorous, so this guide should fill you with laughter (hopefully). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$*****About Me-2*****$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Most people skip this part of the guide, but for the weird people (like me) who enjoy this stuff, read on. Im a young girl whose life pretty much revolves around videogames from Nintendo DS to a Wii. I know a lot about the video games I play, and I have so many that I myself am amazed by how I keep track of them all. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$*****Beginning: I Need Bells!-3 *****$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ As you know (if youve paid any attention to what youre doing on this game and have half a brain, youll know what Im talking about; sorry beginners, I dont mean you), you start without any Bells, but not for long. My suggestion would be to run around like a maniac shaking trees (you tap the tree or press A), before you even enter your house. There are $100 bags of Bells in some, and if youre lucky, youll shake a tree with a piece of furniture in it; you can sell it when youre done working for Nook. If youre unlucky, youll see a bee nest fall out. To avoid getting stung, run to a house and enter; but you need to be fast to get away in time. If you get stung, youll have a patch over your eye. When youre done shaking all the trees, you should have collected about 1,300 Bells, future furniture money, and possibly an eye patch. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$*****General Bells-4*****$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ The most time consuming way to make bells is to grow a Money Tree. First, you must buy two shovels. Youre probably wondering why youd want to waste Bells- since this whole FAQ is about making Bells-but if you read on, youll find out. All you have to do is take one of your shovels, find some empty land, then bury the other one. Then, you wait 24 hours, no more, no less. You dig up the shovel you buried, and when you get it, its golden! Yippee! Yay! Wonderful! Im so happy, blah, blah, blah Now, take your golden shovel (woo ha, ride em up, cowboy) and bury all of your Bells. How do you do this? You can only do so if you have over 99,999 Bells. The amount of money you bury is tripled, and grows on the tree like fruit. Also, the amount of bells you bury decides the chance you have that the tree will grow. For example, if you bury 10,000 Bells, youll have a 10% chance of the tree growing, 20% for 20,000 Bells and blah, blah, blah There are only three bad things about this trick: 1) The time, 2) That you can only bury 90,000 Bells per tree, 3) The fact that the Bells dont reproduce like fruit, its a one time thing. My opinion on this trick? I myself prefer fishing, but if you have a lot of time and Bells, you should consider doing this. Fishing is another way to earn some Bells, and it is very productive. I suggest that you should donate first-time fish to the museum, then sell all the doubles. The best time to fish is when its raining, so utilize this time. The best place to fish is the ocean, where the most expensive fish-such as the Coelacanth - swim. When you go fishing, never run, or youll scare them all away. If youre running back to Nooks with your pockets full of fish, youll be sure to make at least 10,000 Bells. If you catch all Coelacanths-which appear only from 12:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. when its raining - youll make 300,000 Bells! As I previously mentioned, fishing is my all time favorite money maker. I dont know why Im mentioning this, since it is a money making guide, but the worst way to make Bells is bug catching. Most bugs cost about 250 Bells, so its not such a good idea if you need a lot of cash. And, if you care enough about the town museum, you could go on a bug catching frenzy and donate them all. You can also make some Bells by getting your neighbors furniture. Some people think this is only possible during the Flea Market, but, there is another way. First, buy a four-pack of letters, then write compliments such as Youre cute! or Youre really smart!. Attach a piece of old furniture or a seashell, and, most likely, they will put the item in their house and the furniture they got rid of will be in the recycling bin. Once they receive their letter (9:00 a.m. or 5:00 p.m.), go check the bin. You can then sell the furniture at Nooks and make some Bells. If Nooks is closed for remodeling and need some Bells, theres still a way to make some cash. Start off by talking to animals. After a while, theyll ask you to deliver something for them. After you agree to deliver, you must find the person who they want it delivered to within the desired time limit. Or, if you enjoy maddening your friends, you could just keep the gift for yourself. I wouldnt advise this, though. It angers the animal and they probably wont ask you for another favor again. Well, if you reach your goal within the time limit, the animal will give you either clothing, a piece of furniture, or Bells. If Nooks is closed, then youll be hoping for the clothing or Bells. If you get the clothing, you can go sell it at the Able Sisters Tailor Shop. Also, if Nooks shop is closed, you could compete against neighbors in a friendly contest. Normally a bug catching or fishing competition, you go up against friends seeing who can catch a certain creature, or who can catch the rarest. All you have to do is talk to an animal repeatedly, and sometimes they mention that they want a certain creature. Your neighbors are pretty speedy, so you have to get them what they want. If you win the contest, they take your creature and give you Bells, furniture or clothing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$*****Quick Cash-5*****$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ A good way to make some quick Bells is to go digging. You must first buy a shovel, then look for small stars on the ground, usually about 5 per time you get on. Occasionally, they are small creature like tikis, and they create sound. These are basically useless, as they are very annoying. They sell for 828 Bells each, so I suggest you sell them. Usually, when you dig up a star, you get a fossil. I advise that you donate the fossils to the museum, as with the fish and bugs. But when you start getting doubles, you should have Blathers (the museum manager) identify them and then go running back to Nooks screaming I got a fossil! I got a fossil! From selling fossils, you get a hefty sum of Bells, 2,000-5,000 Bells! Selling fossils is one of the best ways to make quick cash-and a lot of it! Another good way to make quick cash is to shoot down flying gifts in the sky. First you must buy a slingshot. Then, at every time the clock ends in a 4, take out your slingshot and prepare to fire! For example, at 9:54, a gift would be flying over your head. This a good way to make lots of Bells-and very quickly! You get a new piece of furniture every 10 minutes! Also, do you want to know how to get up to 8,500 Bells a day?! I thought so. So heres how you do it. Take out your shovel (buy one, if you need to) and look for a rock. There are many in your town, so it shouldnt be too hard. Okay, before you get any ideas, dont hit the rock just yet. You first need to dig two holes: one directly behind you and one to the left of you. Heres a diagram to help: Rock-R You-Y Holes-H RRRR RRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRR RRRRYYY HHHH YYY HHHH YYY HHHH HHHH HHHH HHHH Since you dont know which rock is the money rock (theyre random everyday), its necessary to do this to every rock. Making these holes protect you from slipping back; the money rock gives you a certain time limit to knock out all the Bells. This is the best way to make money everyday. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$*****Your House Loan: Paying It All Off -6 *****$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Your beginning house loan: small, harmless. Your second expansion: big, scary. Your third expansion: the monster in your closet. Your fourth expansion: you might faint. Your fifth expansion: a nightmare. Your sixth expansion? You might as well die. This whole section is paying off and expanding that house of yours. Some of the amounts are minor. Some of the amounts are ridiculously large. Sometimes Old Man Nook is just cheating you out of Bells. Unfortunately, we all have to do it. Thats the objective in the game. Boo hoo. Too sad. All your hard earned Bells go to Nook. Too bad. Get over it. Now, here are the house amounts and the layouts. Initial House: 19,800 Bells Description: 4x4. Small. Cheap. Pay it off quick.

And, its much easier if you follow my tips -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$*****Orchard + Care =Bells?-7*****$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Want to know how to make the most money in the game?! Let me guess ..Yeah? Im right?! Cool, Im psychic! Okay, here it comes ..Man, I forgot! Just kidding... The best way to make Bells in the game is to have a fruit orchard. But not just any fruit orchard! A foreign fruit orchard! No, not foreign like Italian sports car foreign. Foreign as in this-fruit-doesnt-grow-in-my-town- so-it-must-be-foreign foreign. You dont know how to get a foreign fruit? All you have to do is get some letters from Nook, write compliments (like the ones in section 4),and attach your towns native fruit: cherries, apples, pears, oranges or peaches. Send the letter and you should get a letter back with a foreign fruit attached. When you get the foreign fruit, buy an axe. Chop down a tree, dig up the stump, and plant the foreign fruit where the stump was. This will help the fruit grow. After your tree grows, take the fruits from it and plant them (you dont have to do the stump thing). Now, make sure when growing your orchard to never step on the sprout, and always water the trees when theyre wilting. So, if you get a whole load of foreign fruits, you can make 7,500 per trip! Imagine if your whole town had foreign fruits! If you followed my instructions, you should be insanely rich in no time! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$***** Miscellaneous-8*****$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ This is the part of the FAQ where I talk about interesting things in Animal Crossing: Wild World.
