151 island hoppings later

[moonchu]

after patiently (turned impatiently lol) waiting for a villager to want to move, i had saved 200k+ of my grinded out nook miles to go island hopping for you-know-who. i actually enjoy(ed) island hopping, and compiled some data. though i have to say, i never want to island hop this many times ever again.

excel spreadsheet of villagers found
[updated with species + personality type]

the tl;dr is -
_ 1 waterfall island : 65
_ spiral island : 25
_ 3 tiered island : 22
_ non-native fruit : 12
_ tarantula island : 1
_ bamboo island : 13

_ bottles found : 44

_ repeat villagers : 26

Spoiler: screenshots of villagers found (cept for the ones i forgot)

whoo! anyways, hope this was somewhat interesting and good luck to yall tryna find your faves. i met a bunch of cuties and almost caved many times, so i'm excited to see what other villagers i'll meet later.

Random little fact, I believe you can only land certain islands once per day. Tarantula/Scorpion Island being one of them.

 

[Figment]

I love that you included the screenshots. There's something legitimately nice about seeing all of these images of all of these cuties together. If only there were more space fore more villagers. Congrats on finding Raymond!

 

[LunaRover]

That's a lotta cheddar. Congrats on the well earned infamous kitty!

 

[marea]

What did they do to hippos! I am starting to find them very cute. Rocco and Biff look good! You got Blaire, Rosie and Peaches! That is lucky to me because i like them. and 44 DIY?! that totally makes the trips worth it, aside from getting Raymond of course. Cograts on your new little friend!

 

[Jared:3]

Wow that's really cool that you posted all the villagers that you met but congrats on Raymond!

awh thank you, i'm so glad that someone else likes seeing them. i met a lot of villagers i didn't even think of and thought were great. really makes me want more than 10 villagers D;

the bottles are definitely fun to see and one of my favourite things. there were so many cuties on the islands, it was really tough D: thank you!

LMAOOoo it was quite the long trip, and that's hilarious now that you point it out.
let's see, i found a buncha repeats but some new ones were manga wallpaper, lotta shell recipes which i wanted so that was cool, and a gold rose wreath recipe.

i was like ...oh nice, it starts off a bit rainy, but then at the end it got super dark LOL
it's a pretty gradient though - a testament to how nice the graphics are in NH!

maybe you can flip some of the repeat DIYs for some nmt on the nook cranny thread and re-coop some of the tickets you used! the gold rose wreath sounds super fancy!

 

[Babylon]

Bless your soul for pole vaulting, climbing, meeting and talking with everyone you met!!!!!

When I go on big runs I just get close enough to get a good enough angle to determine if they’re who I’m looking for. I have literally not stepped off the dock multiple times haha

 

[Xara]

you literally found 5 of my dreamies, i am yelling

lol congrats on finding raymond!!

hahaha that's still so funny to me. i agree though, nh is a beautiful game.
that would be really smart, i'll have to keep that in mind in the future! i just ended up gifting them to friends who didn't have them

LMAO your way is a much more efficient way of doing things. can you believe that i actually was hitting rocks for the first part of island hopping? looking back, like why did i do that LOL
but i knew i wanted to share the screenshots to you guys

Haha YES That first week I be hitting rocks, cutting trees, bringing home anything remotely interesting... asking Wilbur for more tools haha! I was still recovering from the PTSD of having to gather 30 iron for nook

omgs i referenced that while i was doing it being like, wow remember how starved we all were for iron ore and now look at me - just passing it all up LMAO

 

[sicklewillow]

Congrats on getting Raymond! It took quite a lot. I can't do that all in one day. Judging from your excel sheet, you also gather resources too!

Also noticed that Kid Cat was not among the villagers you meet after 151 tickets. Interesting....
