Is there any Requirements for getting the Axe or SlingShot?
The slingshot should just appear in your nook store from time to time. For an axe, you need the gardening store.
If you're in about upgrades:
Silver axe- get from island
Gold axe- buy 50 saplings from the gardening store

Silver slingshot: Shoot down 15 presents, it will then occasionally float by on 2 balloons
Gold slingshot: Shoot down 15 presents, it will occasionally float by on 3 balloons
 
Can spots for bushes and trees go bad?
Had a tree in a spot, chopped it down to plant something different, but new one wilted.
And repeated the next day.

Might start planting native trees first just to check.

Usually that is a good technique to use. You didn't say what kind of tree you planted. Did you try planting a cedar too far south? They only grow in the top half of town.

Too many trees/bushes in a row is also a problem.

some were cedars, but another was replacing a regular apple with a perfect apple
 
I'm sorry if this has already been answered here but the thread is so long and I'm not sure how to search for it since it's a confusingly worded question...

My question is- I have a digital copy of ACNL and I was thinking of buying a cartridge and starting a 2nd town. I don't have two 3ds's though. Will there be any issues if I have 2 towns on one 3ds?

Also, I figure I can't travel between my towns if they are on the same console. But can I put my cartridge into my friend's 3ds and travel between towns that way? (My friend also has a digital copy of ACNL on her 3ds as well, btw)
 
If a villager is moving out (and you don't know yet) and you talk to a "close friend" villager until they're sick of talking to you, in all the conversations you have, are they guaranteed to let you know that someone is moving out, or should you talk to a few more villagers to be safe?
 
Not guaranteed, if you have used the cycling/tt method to try and get a villager out, then one of the villagers will know. But not the first villager you talk to will let you know if someone is moving out.

There will be no issues, but you cannot streetpass or visit the second town unless you put the cartridge into a seperate DS. When you do so, your town and all saved data will be on the cartridge so you don't have to worry about losing your second town.
 
Yep, Biskit just pinged me about moving, Rosie definitely didn't let me know. :p Thanks!
 
This is something else I never bothered figuring out but what's that yellow tab on the upper part of the bottom screen with the heart? It's next to the tab that opens your ID card. How do you get it?

The Best Friends list. When someone is over at your town, click the green thing that shows who is there, and press the heart. The yellow heart tab will then pop up, holding the best friends list.
 
Okay, I am confused. Like, seriously confused. Since two weeks, Joan (that's her name, right? I need to pay more attention homg) hasn't come on Sundays to sell me turnips. I was slightly confused the first time, but I figured that despite searching up and down, I might have just missed her or that she doesn't come when it snows. However, last Sunday, she wasn't in town, either, and it was sunny and I checked everywhere and also restarted several times. I never had a problem with finding her before (but my town has only experienced six Sundays total so far). Is there some hidden condition that you can only get her so many times each month/can buy only a limited amount of turnips each month/need to do something the day before to have her appear? I'm seriously lost.

That Joan can be tricky to find. She should be there. Were you definitely playing after noon?

Yes, I was basically checking last Sunday every hour, starting from 10am to around 9pm. I checked the whole town up and down each time. I never had problems locating her before (or any other NPC walking around, like Katie or Saharah). But since two weeks, Joan is just...nowhere to be found.
 
There's no need to check after noon, as she'll be gone. From 6 to 12, try using the megaphone. She will answer to it if she is there.
 
Clearly you've driven the stalk market so much in your profit making you've driven her out of business and run her out of town. :p

Though there isn't a cap or any hidden requirement to her appearance. And it's odd you still couldn't find her after resetting. ~ Are you sure you had your town set to the right day/time?
