Noob wanting to learn more 🙃

Hi,
I’m new to the forums and need a basic rundown about bells and seashells and these currencies and stuff? Uhm, I know basically the rest, like forum games and postings and where to post things so, please help

TBT is the site currency. You can use it to buy collectibles in the shop. You earn it by posting in threads. Some sections don’t earn bells, such as The Basement. The amount depends on the length of the post and the section it’s in, but don’t spam just to get high amounts of TBT. If you just answer questions and participate in discussions, the bells will add up.

As for Seashells, you get 10 when you sign up and 10 more for your TBT anniversary (to my knowledge). I wasn’t really active during my year anniversary, so take that with a grain of salt.

Yes, bells and TBT are the same. They’re used interchangeably.

Ok
Thanks again

To add to and amend the above a bit, Seashells are distributed once upon joining and again on your 2 year TBT anniversary. These can be used to buy certain perks in the Shop, avoiding the need to save up your TBT Bells for something like a username change. They're account-locked and untradable, as are our other event-specific currencies which show up only during official Bell Tree events.

TBT Bells can be used for many things here. Members sell in-game items, art, site collectibles, and even goods for other games or websites with a trade feature (Pokémon and Chicken Smoothie come to mind). The primary way to earn them is via posting on the forums, but you can also sell in-game items over in Nook's Cranny, and other TBT Bell transactions that don't involve NH/NL would be over in the TBT Marketplace.

Don't hesitate to ask if you have any additional questions!
