Are you guys actually getting the Sakura recipes?

[Antonio]

I haven't got any yet, where do they appear?

Regular solid colored balloons. Red, green, blue and yellow balloons will sometimes contain a Sakura recipe in present you shoot down. A user posted a guide they made on Page 3 of this thread with some tips and advice on getting the recipes. I'd recommend giving it a try. Bear in mind, if a balloon is multi-colored stripes it's strictly a Bunny Day balloon and will only contain a Bunny Day recipe or a Sky Egg.

I have five now. If there are only fourteen recipes, that's not too bad I guess. Still time.

 

[Hopeless Opus]

i have not a single piece. at this point, i'm thinking it impossible for me to find any at all.

 

[Envy]

I have the floor, petal pile, and the picnic basket (which I have no clue how I got, since I had it before Isabelle made the announcement and thus I didn't get it from her, but I also don't remember getting it from a balloon).

 

[Sanaki]

I have the entire set.

I've gotten 4 so far.
I typically just afk in a spot in my town. Because I generally feel like they spawn near-ish to where your standing so you see them in the sky. That said I generally stand around the beach on the left because they seem to start from the left most the time in my town. But at night I'll stand towards the right beach and catch them as they're leaving since there's a pond there I can farm koi fish from.

Someone noted that yellow balloons tend to drop bells and I think that's true. Green seems to drop the most recipes with red also being possible according to their post.

Edit: Yellow balloon just gave me the cherry blossom umbrella DIY so appears to be random

I have quite a few now but I'm still missing I think the picnic set, the clock, and the wand. I saw people saying that if there are no announcements on your island when you start up, Isabelle will give you either the recipe for the picnic set or the picnic set itself, I'm not sure which. So hopefully tomorrow is a quiet day for my island and I'll get the picnic set then. Honestly after today's 1.1.3 patch I feel like they balanced the balloon rates; I'm seeing regular balloons more frequently today whereas yesterday it was exceptionally rare. Not sure if I've just been luckier today though.

I only have the leaf pile, which is probably the lamest one. >__>

Aw, I like the petal pile. It looks really nice put around your town next to the trees. :3

For the picnic comments though, I didn't get my picnic recipe from Isabelle but I did get it from a balloon drop.

The bunny balloon comes so often I'm tire of looking up at the sky for regular balloon. I believe I have 7 out of the total 14 items. Got the picnic via balloon.

 

[5cm/s]

i have like 4-5 total, and i got them by obsessively running up and down my vertical beaches (for maximum area coverage lmao) with the sound wayyy up so i can hear any balloon noises. most of the balloons are sky eggs, but every couple is a normal balloon, which sometimes gives money or weird furniture and EVENTUALLY a cherry blossom diy recipe. just keep at it guys- we have about a week of this event left!

So it's not impossible... I've been following alitwick's guide and first you have to find the direction the balloons are coming from (in my case is the left side beach) and they appear aproximately every 5 minutes, although they sometimes skip an interval. I've been doing this for like two hours and I've only got 2 recipes so far- 1 sakura and 1 bamboo. the sakura one was on a yellow balloon and the other one on a blue balloon. I almost exclusively get yellow balloons so I guess i'm just unlucky? I leave my switch on and check every 5 minutes. Other ppl will get far better results I'm sure.

Here's the guide

 

[sunchild]

i think i have about half of them, i'm missing the stone, potted trees and the lantern. i really wanted the bag and wand recipe which i managed to get.. i can live without the wallpaper and floorings, just really want all the furniture!

 

[Cottonball]

the first day I got maybe 5 but then the balloon glitch got in the way..

 

[Soot Sprite]

I actually want them all, but I think I only have around four or five of the recipes. I’m kinda tired of shooting down those balloons but I don’t want to miss out on them.

 

[0orchid]

I only have 2 left (both of the wallpapers) now and I'm probably going to do a giveaway and also have people bring materials for me to craft stuff after I get the last 2

 

[Garrett]

I have seven now, not including the one that Isabelle may give you. Having this going on at the same time as the bunny stuff blows haha.

 

[meo]

Up to six now. I agree. The overlap with bunny holiday really sucks lol.

 

[ellienoise]
