New Horizons F.A.Q. – Ask Questions Here!

this just occurred to me...

but please tell me there is no nook mile ''achievement'' for listening to blathers talk about the various fossils, bugs, fish, and or paintings...
 
What's the most efficient way to move out villagers? I'd been working on moving out a villager to give to someone but it took a few weeks of off and on TTing to finally get them to ask. I've heard a few different methods such as ignoring and TTing 14 days, TTing a month, etc.. I tried those few methods and most of the time nobody wanted to move out. (And I had the max of 10 villagers.)

Most efficient is using an amiibo, second most efficient is the month method. It's weird that it didn't work for you, did you talk to your villagers before doing it?
 
I have a question I haven't been able to find the answer to! If a friend of mine boots out a villager by inviting a new character via an amiibo card the booted out villager immediately goes into boxes. Now can I then go over to his island and invite the boxed villager to move in? I just want to be 100% sure it works the same as villagers asking to leave before attempting it lol

Yep, Amiibo move-outs work the same as natural move-outs when it comes to adoptions.
 
Questions about using the golden watering can,
Is there any benefit to using it on other flowers, or just the black roses? Like does it up the spawn rate of other hybrids or just the gold roses?
Also is there any point in my using the gwc on my black roses if it's already rained?
Does it help to use a gwc on other people's islands? Or will it just have the same effect as a normal watering can on their flowers?

Thanks for your time,
Donna from Ruatha

you should always use the gwc on the black roses even if it rained because only watering them with the gwc can give you gold roses

I'm not sure if there is another benefit to the gwc, but it does water more flowers at once then a normal watering can

and when a visitor waters your flowers (or you water someone else's flowers) the flowers have a higher chance of producing hybrids :)
 
Does anyone know if personality types matter in NH as much as they do in NL? In NL you needed different personality types because they would suggest different projects but in NH you just craft them so I'm not sure if there's any point in having different personality types? Most of the villagers I like are normals so I might end up with like 3-5 normals but if they matter then that's probably not the best idea.

Also, if I stop playing for a long time in NH or time travel can villagers leave without asking like in NL or do you need to agree to let them leave for them to leave?
 
I am dumb and accidentally sold a picture of Wolfgang.
I was wondering if you have a chance of getting another picture like you could in New Leaf?

Does anyone know?

The most important thing tied to personality types are the different Reactions that you learn. You can see a list here of which Reactions are taught by which personality.

Less important are the DIY recipes that are handed out when a villager is crafting; that's also tied to personality. That same spreadsheet I linked also has this list under the Recipes tab on the bottom. This is less important because you'll find the same recipes in messages in bottles or through Amiibo campers or through trading with someone else, but if you want a convenient way of getting all the recipes, having all the different personality types helps.

Villagers won't leave anymore without your say-so.
 
On the day that your mandatory camper moves in near the start of the game (your 6th villager), can you also put an extra plot down and go island hopping for your 7th villager? Or is it strictly one move in a day? thanks!

If Tom nook lets you put down another plot of land, then yes. I invited my ninth and tenth villagers on the same day, they just moved in one day at a time.
 
Can anyone explain "rare" DIYs to me? I have a bunch of DIYs I want to sell but idk what is considered a "rare" DIY so I'm not sure how to price them. Are they rare because they're in-demand on the market or are they somehow more difficult to obtain in-game?

Also, this is more of a curiosity than anything, but does the sender of the message bottle affect the DIY? I think villager personality is tied to what type of DIY you get, right? So does the personality of the sender factor into that? (example: if you find a message bottle from Goldie, it can only contain DIYs normal villagers would give out.)
 
I have a Wisp question. I wonder if anyone can help me?

When Wisp offers you a furniture item and you choose the option for furniture you don't have yet (something new), can you potentially get a variation you don't have? Say I have a red fireplace, but none of the others, is there a possibility Wisp could give me a brown, white, or beige fireplace? Has anyone seen evidence of anything like this?

I suspect this isn't how it works, but I would love being able to get alt colors from Wisp:(

Thank you in advance for any responses!

I don't know if there are some that are more rare than others, but there are certainly more desirable DIYs. Like, I only recently got my first cherry hat, but I've gotten a ton of ironwood and gold pieces. I tend to doubt that the cherry hat is worth more than the gold.

I do think the sender of the message in the bottle influences the DIY the same way the crafter would. Someone might correct me, but I'm almost positive.
 
So ever since I started the game, I've consistently gotten 3 wasps, 1 furniture, and a bunch of bells from my trees.

Today, I learned that it's supposed to be 5 wasps and 2 furniture?

What gives?

I have a lot of non-fruit trees - 20+ - and I methodically shake my trees, so I really don't think it's that. And in case it's relevant, I also don't time travel.
 
Does anyone know if my starter villager, Apple, is in boxes and a friend invited her to move (would be his 10th villager), will she have the starter interior (basic furniture) on his island or will she have her special interior? Thanks!

It’ll be their regular house interior, not the starter one.
