I think the 'value' of nmts will drop📉

[kemdi]

Nmts are only used for nmt islands, which people need a lot of because RNGsus is finding their dreamies. Even though amiibo cards can get any villager, the amiibo market before re-release was (actually, still is) expensive, so other than using the camping trick, people take their chances with the random nook mile islands. Nmts became the most valuable currency to players, more than bells, and it got so bad that people were and still are willing to pay real money for them. Obviously, Nintendo doesn't like the idea of people paying others real money for their IPs. But going after the illegal salespeople would be a fools errand, because taking one down will have them replaced by another, and they'd be hydra fighting for years if they tried this. Now here comes 2.0 and especially HHP. If HHP works the same way as HHD did, then you may eventually see every villager at random wandering in front of the main building in order to talk to them and build their vacation home(outside of those already living on your island). You could use amiibo to get them right away, but amiibos are hard to find, so most people will probably wait till whoever they're looking for shows up at random. Once you build their home, you can visit them whenever you want. Even if that villager never moves to your island, you can still see, visit, and interact and talk with that villager just by visiting them in their vacation home. For a lot of people(but not everyone obviously), this may make them feel less pressured to random search to bring their favorite dreamie into their island. They'll probably not look as much to find their dreamie if they can still talk or interact with them everyday in the vacation house.

Also, Nintendo made it so that everything new in 2.0 needs nook mile points instead of nook mile tickets. Kap'n? points. New Nook mile furniture? points. With HHP you'll be building vacation homes, and will be earning points. Unlike the tickets, points can't be transferred to another player. I think with the pressure off for finding dreamies with HHP, and (so far) very little being seen in 2.0 needing nmts instead of points, a lot of people may not want nmts as much as they do now.

I can understand your reasoning, but on the other hand...

It doesn't sound like villagers will appear on Kapp'n islands, so people will still need NMT's also, at least for a while, people won't want to buy NMT's with nook miles, as there's so many new items and Kapp'n trips that require nook miles.

I think if anything, the value in nook miles will see a slight increase, while bells will see a large increase in value.

I frequently forget that trading with NMTs is still a thing, since on this site people primarily trade with TBT.

Because of the outdoor ABD and the outdoor storage item, I kinda wonder if trading more than you can hold in your pockets without multiple trips will become a viable thing now. That I feel like is more likely to potentially affect the value of NMT.

I feel like the opposite will happen.

If the Nook Miles are being spent on Kapp'n's tours instead of NMT, supply will decrease and if demand for the remains similar, the value will go up.

I never use Nook miles tickets, I mainly use bells. You can get more with bells than miles tickets.

I've never really understood why they had so much "value" anyways, I've never had issues getting enough on my own through daily play.
I could see the "value" going up instead of down though, because of the high cost of Kapp'n's trips.

 

[edsett]

i think they will go up considering how popular a few of the new villagers are and how hard/expensive it is to get the new amiibo cards

Agreed. TBT is the only real currency for trading on this forum at any rate

They're main use is finding villagers, a big part of this community's 'trading' scene and they're easy to trade in mass compared to IGB, so they had a value attached to them.

I feel the cost of Nook Miles Tickets will drop too. My reasoning is Kapp'n islands cost 1000 miles, and so far, seem to be far more special. Nook Miles Islands are boring, and feel useless, especially since I have Amiibos of my favorites.

 

[DJStarstryker]

Related to this topic, I do think it's interesting that Kapp'n's islands are specifically 1000 miles instead of 1 NMT (which costs 2000 miles). They seem to be kinda similar things as far as I can tell so far, just now Kapp'n's feel more special because of new plants and being able to access other seasons/times of day. I'm surprised they're not the same price.

I think having them on the vacation island is different from them living on your island imo. You don't have to travel to see them for one. I don't have much interest in HHD before so I'm not all pump for HHP but I might have to "work" periodically to unlock the home design and furniture.

With that being said, I see the value of NMTs increasing as well, with a lot of new things costing nook miles. Some players may want to save their miles to redeem for furniture instead of nmts so more people will want to buy nmts in other ways.

But we shall see once 2. 0 is here. I, for one, am planning to hunt for the 4 new villagers I'm planning to get so I know I will need hundreds, if not more, nmts.

There are too many unknowns right now. We don’t know if the new villagers will be on the islands or if they are amiibo exclusive like the Sanrio ones. And we don’t know if we will be able to ask the hhp villagers to move to our island. And we don’t know if villagers will be on the kappn islands. I personally don’t trade nmt because I really don’t know their value on here and it’s a huge pain to print one at a time. I started printing one every time there was an achievement for spending points so it wouldn’t feel like such a slog to get a bunch. And I’m not a big fan of island hopping I get bored and annoyed very quickly. I finally broke down earlier this week and bought some fan made amiibos so I can get who I want. I would like some of the series five cards and I am trolling Best Buy but I’m not expecting to actually get any.

Kapp’n’s trips are 1000 miles, NMTs are 2000.

 

[moon_child]

I think they’re gonna rise bec of the new villagers. Not everyone has access or actual money to go buy a lot of the amiibos so if people want any of the new villagers, they’re gonna burn through a lot of NMTs to find them.

I'm in agreement with those that think they might go up, thanks to the introduction of the new villagers. Perhaps things will calm when/if people get enough of the new Amiibo cards/chips, but in the meantime, I expect a spike. Outside of Tbt, I bet those without the DLC will use the NMT in exchange for the HHP items, too.
