Claudia has officially moved into town today. And I officially do not like her.

She instantly becomes my 2nd-least favorite villager; only Rizzo is worse. Claudia didnāt mention coming from another town, so maybe she was just a random move-in. But if she mentions a previous town she lived in, Iāll be sure to post it in a future entry.
I paid off Lloid, so that my new bridge can be completed by tomorrow.

Over by my first bridge, Marcel taught me a new reaction: bashfulness.

I also inquired at town hall about moving Tiaās house. I wasnāt sure if it could be done when the bridge was unfinished, but it can! Tom Nook just needed 50,000 bells to do it.

We had to check with Tia, but of course, she was fine with it. In fact, a little too fine with it.

Iām making her move her entire house, just about 20 feet away, and sheās thrilled with it? Theyāre such pushovers in this game. Why canāt she at least be a bit annoyed by the inconvenience? Let me just say that Iām not a fan of the dialogue in New Horizons. In fact, from what Iāve seen of the game so far, Iād say the dialogue is the worst in the series.
Anyway, I found Midge on the beach, with a thought bubble above her head. She asked if I wanted to play a treasure-hunting game! I sure do!

The original GameCube game had treasure hunts, where an animal would bury an item somewhere in town. They would post a message on the bulletin board telling which acre to look for it in. This is a bit different, since the villager doesnāt give any hintsā¦but they do give you a time limit to find it. Midge gave me six minutes, but I only needed about one.

When I returned it to Midge, she gave me a do-rag as a prize.

I later ran into Wisp on the cliff, and I collected his five spirits for him. When I returned them, I asked Wisp for something new.

So I was surprised that he, too, gave me a do-rag!

Wisp must be a liar, because his āexpensiveā rewards arenāt expensive (remember my cardboard box?), and his ānewā rewards arenāt new.
After that, I began working on my obstacle course for a while. Iām having a lot of fun making it! I got it at least half-way done, but I could only build as far as Tiaās house. (It will apparently be moved by tomorrow morning).
Have a great day, and Iāll see you next time!
Hey! Can I join you on Friday Night Forest? I would love to join you
Anyone already on my Switch friend roster is welcome at Friday Night Forest, but Iām not currently looking to add anyone new.
How did you trigger the treasure hunt? Its the first time Iāve seen anyone trigger one in New Horizons
I donāt think you can force it to happen, but make sure you talk to an animal if you see them walking around with a thought bubble above their head.
Sadly, villagers will move in randomly if you donāt choose someone in time, even in the 10th spot. I was doing about 5 NMI per day to try to get Boots but then Vladimir decided to waltz in uninvited.
Iāve found that the dialogue gets semi-interesting if you talk to them about 3-4 times. This is how I get favors sometimes.
Also, does Wisp scare you because he scared the mess out of me when I saw him just below my house. *shudder*
Iāll have to give that a try!
Haha no, Wisp doesnāt scare me. Iām used to seeing him around in most AC games.



It may have been a different color do-rag, to be fair.
Speaking of Wisp, one of my neighbors said she had felt āan EERIE presenceā (yes, with the all-caps). I wondered if she was implying Wisp was around, and though he was nowhere near the neighbor in question he sure enough was on my island.
Something that annoys me is how much clothing the villagers give you, especially since theyāre all fairly available at Able Sisters. Iāve started to give back the clothing to the villager so it doesnāt clutter my inventory but now I find that I have some pretty wacky color combos walking across my town haha. For Wisp, it was probably a different color do-rag that wasnāt in your catalog, hence ānewā?
Ah, so differently colored items with the exact same name count as separate items? This could be confusing, especially for colorblind people. If they count as separate items, I wish they had different names (blue do-rag, green do-rag, etc.). Well, thanks for the explanation, Cindy (and Anonymous too)!
Despite me definitely agreeing it would be confusing, in the Nook shopping app it does say in the bottom corner the colour of the item. But iām loving ur blog entry so far XD
Okay, thanks. Thatās good to know I can check it there.
The different color idea with out calling it that was a pain I once bought a blue parka from mable then she had a black which I preferred so I bought that and then a couple days a go she had a space parka which I bought what Iām saying is thereās to many color variations
Youāre right, the dialogue isnāt the best.
Wispās rewards really make me not want to bother searching for his spirit ballsā¦ it seems like a pain in the butt for no actual reward.
The reward is Nook Miles for meeting Wisp.
I ran into Wisp for the first time tonight. I started playing March 27th. Guess Iāve been unlucky lmao.
I havenāt encountered him once, and Iāve been playing since launch. also havenāt seen a shooting star since my 5th or 6th day, so I guess I just have bad luck.
