Do we know what's the % chance of getting a picture by mail using the fruit stack trick?

Hand gifting = Friendship points / 25 * 0.85 = %
Fruit Stack Trick = Friendship points / 25 = %

They changed things again?! There are old glitches still waiting to be fixed and they're spending time on this.

I knew they'd make it even harder. I am never getting Fauna's ******* picture

Best of luck! I reset my island but coincidentally she's my starting normal... I'll have to move her out and back in later. But hey maybe I'll beat you to her photo after all

It's a lot easier to increase friendship now. Friendship points is low at first but it speeds up the closer friends you are now they decrease the villager response from 2500+ sell value to 750+.

Hm. At least that doesn't sound like a bad change. I'm scared they'll get rid of photo mailing one day

Yeah that is a concern. But you can get in person again from daily gifting.

Man, this feels like it’s getting more complicated after each update. Thanks for the updated info! I still have to hunt down five more photos...

 

[Peach_Jam]

aah thank you for this info! I only have tangy's photo at the moment, but I've been meaning to acquire the rest of my villagers photos! So the fact that it's easier to increase friendship points now with a full inventory + stacked fruit motivates me to get serious (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Interesting! Thank you for the explanation

wait it's changed again? so we can gift wrapped fruit but chances are lowered, or they just have to be a stack? lord. updates are getting a bit complicated now since they're changing mechanics each big ones.

I finally got Fauna’s picture with the fruit stack mail trick!!!! I feel like I beat the game now, this ended up being harder than even blue roses from scratch

You have to wrapped a stack of fruit and give it to them if you want to receive the photo in person. The stack value needs to be greater than 750

So ah just keep giving them fruit?

I got Genji's photo by being good friends and then one day giving him an apple tv lmao

And I got Curlos's by giving him some wrapped coconuts...

It depends on which version you have gotten the photos. The mechanics changed in 1.3 and 1.4. Giving fruits only works if you give it to them in a specific amount or with the fruit stack method. Giving one coconut isn't going to yield any photos unless you are doing the fruit stack to get them to mail you the photo the next day

I’ve been giving gold nuggets to villagers, since I had a lot of extra ones. Is this the best way to do it or is there an easier way to deal with this? It seems so frustrating

 

[tajikey]

So if I wrap a stack of 9 fruit and gift to them, there's no possible way I'll get their picture?

Giving them a wrapped gold nugget is going to get you the same amount of friendship points as a wrapped stack of 2 nonnative fruit, 8 native fruit, or 3 coconuts. Fruit is more easily renewable than gold nugget is. Fruit stack trick and having them mail you the return gift will have an higher chance of getting you a photo in general. At max friendship, it's 10.2% of getting the photo in the mail and 8.67% in person if you give it one of the wrapped fruit stack that I mention before and in the TL;DR. You just have to keep trying.

You can still get the photos with a full stack. It's just not the min-max.

After how many received gifts can we get another villager photos? I just got a second one today from Ozzie! I read it somewhere but I don't really remember it, maybe around 60?

64 gifts until the chance of another photos. You still have to fight RNG
