Animal Crossing: New Horizons Tips for Beginners to Make their Lives on the Island Easier

Animal Crossing: New Horizons might be a very complex game to play for those who have just started playing. There are so many things to do and take care of. Therefore, tracking progress and prioritizing tasks can become very difficult for beginners. There are countless guides on the internet to help such players. However, the game keeps adding additional elements and thus the guides need to be updated frequently.

Luckily for the players, YouTubers such as Mayor Mori frequently find and compile tips and tricks to make the life of new players easier. In an earlier video, Mori listed down a few ‘secret’ details that many new and some veteran players might miss, and being aware of these details might enhance their experience on the island.

Little known tips for Animal Crossing: New Horizons players

Every player wants a beautifully decorated island they can show off to their friends. The first tip helps one do that. There are many big fossils that players can interact with once they place them down. The T-Rex fossil, for instance, opens and closes its jaw as players come near it and interact with it. While this might not make a huge difference, setting the statue in a unique manner is definitely going to surprise a few friends.

The second tip allows players to get bonus stars after a meteor shower. While the limit for these stars in only 20 spawns per island, players just have to use another character to log in to the island which will double the number of stars they get. These stars are a valuable in-game currency that can help players get rare items.

Another thing that new players look forward to is meeting Redd. Redd brings interesting deals, but his spawn timing is highly unpredictable. One thing that players know for sure is that he spawns at the mystery beach. However, instead of wasting a few minutes every day checking on Redd, they can just open their map, which shows a symbol when Redd is at the mystery beach.

A painful task that all players will agree is always having to head over to the Nook Shop to check for previous purchases. However, islanders will automatically get a shopping app once they complete 100 purchases from the shop.

One thing that can get painful is when wasps bite the players while they frisk the trees. Players no longer will have run from them if they forgot a net as they can just use a party popper to scare them away.

There are a lot of free items on the island

The turnips that rot if not traded in time might appear useless. However, throwing them on the ground attracts ants after a while. This is the only way to get ants on the island. Similarly, players can throw the garbage that they get while fishing to attract flies.

Players can not only get free furniture by shaking trees on their own island but also have a chance to come across one as they go on mystery island tours.

Finally, apart from the various other advantages that come along with having a second character, players can also get bonus bells from the money rock. So if they aren’t lucky enough with the first one, they can always boot up the second one.

There will be tons of tips coming up as the game gets future updates. Guides like these can help players prioritize important tasks and not worry about other things.
