After starting up the game tonight, I checked my bank account balance at town hall. I currently have 40,660,000 bells in the bank. Long time readers may remember that I’ve set goals of making a total of two million bells in July and August (a million a month) the last couple years.
While I’m (basically) going to try to do that again, I’m going to scale it down just a bit (partly because I’m not starting at a round number and partly because I’m going to be busier with New Horizons this year). So my goal is to hit 42.5 million bells by September 1st.
But before I got to bug-catching, I had villagers to catch up with. Also, Saharah was in town, looking for old flooring. Violet was the first beast I asked for flooring, and she actually helped me out!
As I made my way around town, I spotted a new house in a spot that’s rarely used by villagers. It’s in the northern part of town, a bit southwest of my fountain, and right next to the river. This is where I recorded Pitfall Pandemonium. I can’t remember the last time a villager lived here.
But I went inside, and I was very happy to see my old cranky friend Tom! He’s lived in my GameCube town for ages, and I had him in New Leaf for a while too. (But surprisingly, not here in City Folk). Welcome to Forest, you big grump!
Goldie was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for her. Get well soon, Goldie!
As for my old flooring search, it didn’t go very well. Purrl also gave me one, but that’s it. I needed three for a rare carpet, and I didn’t have any in storage. Oh well, these will go into storage for next time.
I shot down a balloon present, and it contained a boxing mat.
With my regular tasks out of the way, I began hunting for bugs! I caught a lot of good ones as I made way across the beach and back, over and over. Of course, I also ventured around a bit just to keep the bugs on their toes. 😉
I caught giant beetles, goliath beetles, emperor butterflies, Hercules beetles, an atlas beetle, a scarab beetle, and more. I also caught a gar and two sharks on my hunt. Ahh, I love this time of year. 🙂 I made over 150,000 bells on the night.
Enjoy the hunting season and I’ll see you next time!
Ever since static moved out you’ve been bombarded with cranky villagers lol
Is there a good way to get a lot of bells around this time? I need another 300,000 bells so I can get the fountain and the golden axe.
Yes, summer is the best time of year for making money in this game. Make sure you have plenty of palm trees (and other trees within sight of the beach are good too). At night, walk back and forth on the beach to catch all the valuable tree beetles. (For cheap bugs like fruit beetles, just scare them away so another bug can spawn).
While you do this, also keep an eye out for shark fins. After 11 p.m. seems to be the best time, but any time at night is good. It also helps to have Nook ‘n’ Go so you can sell your catches right away. Good luck!
I can try this method, but I only have Nookway so I will have to do this around 5pm-10pm, and I might want to plant some more trees as i only have 22 coconut trees and nothing else, but I don’t have that much space as Mitzi, Mallary and Yuka are living down at the beach. Thank you for the response!
