The Official badge thread

[Chocofruit]

✌✿Hi, everyone!✿✌

I've been really interrested in badges the entire time of playing AC:NL, and have tried to get them all! Currently I'm trying to rebuild my collection of badges, because my save data corrupted! But what about you guys? I would really like to hear your opinions on bagdes!


Tell us how long it took to get a certain badge, what badge you're currently trying to get, post your own badges, post about your overall opinion on badges or if you have any question about badges, be sure to post it in the comments, we got lots of people here with an answer!
Or post other questions like When you add new people do you check their badges?
What do you think about the implementation of badges? Do you think it was a good idea, or do you think it was clich??

I've learnt something through this thread, you can get high quality pictures of your badges, by going to Miiverse on your 3DS where you can post bottom screen pictures to your 'Photo Album' or just post them on a community. Go to your game and open up the badges, press the home button and open up Miiverse and as soon as it opens you see two screenshots one of the upper screen and one of the lower screen, press the screenshot of the lower screen so there's a check mark on it. Save it to your screenshot Album. Now go to Miiverse on your PC, log in, go to your Screenshot Album, open up the picture on another tab, then write

and put the URL inbetween those codes.

I got to know this technic through these nice users : Voluptua Sneezelips & Yuelia


I'm really interrested in seeing your badges
!Thank you for reading and hope you'll post something!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are the Top 10 hardest badges to collect according to BTF users. The votes clearly show that the Steetpass bagde is most likely the hardest for most people to get, though some people have it easy getting the Gold Streetpass bagde. I mostly agree with the list, but I think a little too many people voted for the streetpass bagde! The poll is done, and was finished the 1st of december 2015.


_BELOW HERE WILL BE POSTED ABOUT "EASY METHODS TO OBTAIN BADGES", IF YOU HAVE INFORMATION REGARDING THIS TOPIC, BE SURE TO PM ME OR COMMENT ABOUT IT_

Easy methods to obtain AC:NL badges :​

WEEDING BADGE : An easy way to obtain this badge, is to ask people with cycling towns if you could get to weed their town. They TimeTravel alot and there should be lots weeds there, if not it's quiet an active and serious AC:NL player. Don't go around begging and pleading, be nice about it. And if they decline don't keep begging. This is a fast way to get the badge. Since you need 5000 to get the gold badge. This is a quiet good method.

TURNIP BADGE : An easier way to get the turnip badge, is if a side player buys the turnips and then the mayor sells them. The game doesn't remove the buying price since the mayor never bought any turnips. It can go very fast if you have a high price in your town, or you can go look for other towns with high prices. If you buy 10k turnips and sell them for over 500 bells each, you only need to do it twice to get the gold bagde!

Here's the thread where people post their Turnip Prices : http://www.belltreeforums.com/showthread.php?69010-Official-Turnip-Prices-Thread

K.K. SLIDER-FAN BAGDE : An easy way to get the K.K. Slider Fan Badge is you can listen to a lot of songs, primarely somewhere between 15 - 50 songs while you're watching a movie or something, then you can get up to the gold bagde really quickly. Also listening to the songs counts for everyone, so if you invite your friends over you could work together on getting the K.K. Slider Fan Badge. As long as all players sit in the chairs

GARDENING BADGE : Use the beach and keep planting trees, shrubs or island fruit that you get for free. Dig them up right away and plant more. Basically you just plant a fruit, dig it up, plant one more dig it up, rinse, repeat. Keep doing this for some days and you should get the gold badge quiet quickly.

X AMOUNT BUGS CAUGHT BADGE : If you are done with bug collecting for bells, plant 4 trees in the middle of the island and add flowers and bushes. Go just before 4pm and there should spawn a lot of bugs and butterflies to catch, they should keep spawning all the time. A little less tedious way is you can also just catch 20 bugs each day or everyother day just to stack up the numbers. There is no particularly fast way to get this badge, but to just catch bugs time after time.

SHOPPER BADGE : An easy way to get this bagde is to just keep buying stuff from Gracie. If you don't have the shop in your own town, ask anyone with the shop in their town if you could buy-out their Gracie for some days. Be nice about it. This should be a fast method.

DREAM VISITOR BADGE : An easy way to get the Dream Visitor Bagde, is to first update your dream so that you get 5000 bells from Luna. Then, you would use those bells for dreaming, which is exactly 10 dreams. Do this every day or every other day, and the numbers should add up pretty quickly! This is a relatively fast method and you don't lose any cash this way.

BALLOON SHOOTER BADGE : An easier way to get the Balloon Shooter Badge is when you see a ballon and you're only shooting it to get one count closer to getting the balloon badge, then try shooting it over water, flowers, or tiles, in the middle of a 3x3 pattern, because then the present will disappear and you don't have to go and clean-up/pick-up/sell. Balloons usually float/appear by the far left or far right on the map, at these times XX:04, XX:14, XX:24, XX:34, XX:44, & XX:54.

X AMOUNT FISH CAUGHT BADGE : An easy way just in general to catch fish, is once you see that the fish has sighted the bobber, you close your eyes and turn up the volume on the 3DS, then you only hear the fish go for the bobber. This takes away the annoyance of your thumb twitching when you see the fish come close.

On my new town, I have Avid Bell Saver and Letter Writer.
But I'm getting more :3

 

[Chocofruit]

Nice! Good luck trying to get more badges!

I just restarted but in my old town I had at least bronze in everything except visitor/host/streetpass. I think my golds were HHA/gardening/doing favours for villagers and I had silvers in all the encyclopedia ones.

As of now though I have no badges!

I'd also like to take a moment to complain about the streetpass one. I live in the middle of nowhere and running into another 100 people who play AC will be literally impossible.

 

[Chocofruit]

Nice, even getting all bronze bagdes is hard. But yeah I also complain about the streetpass one, I live in faroe islands where only Playstation and Fifa wares are accepable, and get bullied if you dont have them. So litteraly NO ONE has a 3ds where I live.

 

[Akimari]

I have to wonder if I'll ever get the Streetpass badge. My next best bet is during this school year with my school full of 2k+ kids. I was hoping that I'd get at least SOME Streetpass whilst going to the movies yesterday but nothing... sigh.

 

[Chocofruit]

Same. The only time I've ever gotten some streetpasses, was when two years ago I was in Spain. And it was only 3 streetpasses ._.

And good luck trying to get the badge!

 

[The221Believer]

I recently got the gold errand-runner badge. Other than that I have bronzes and silvers of most things except visitor/streetpass. Should have taken NL to the con I went to earlier in the summer, THAT would have netted me streetpass like none other~

 

[Chocofruit]

Nice, getting the Town concierge takes a long time! And too bad you couldn't take it to the convention!

Also I just read up on some bagdes and turns out you need a whopping 1000 streetpasses for the gold streerpass badge!

 

[LaBelleFleur]

These are my badges currently... right now, I'm working on the silver bug-catching badge & the gold island medals badge.

 

[TheGreatBrain]

I can't post mine, but my mayor in my Joy town has all gold. ( except streetpass ). I only have bronze for streetpass, and that took me forever.

I wish there was a way to check your progress.

Nice collection you got there! And yeah, it would be quiet awesome if you could check progress like 134/200 balloons. If bagdes are in the next AC, that should be inserted!

Main town mayor has all gold except for the host and the streetpass badge. The host is at silver and the streetpass badge is at bronze.
During the winter I started working on my side players. They have complete abunch of gold badges, some silver and bronze. They just got their gold net on the last bug off.

I have a guest town and the mayor has the badges filled in. She's completed her fishing and bug collection with abunch of other golden badges. The rest are silver except for the streetpass badge. That's bronze. It's finding time to catch the bug, fish and diving amounts. The fishing is the hardest amount caught one for me. Waiting for 4 to 5 hits on the rod gets annoying and I hit the button to early.

That is quiet the array of characters, and alot of bagdes, must've taken you quiet a while!

And, I gotta agree with you on the "catch-5000-fish bagde" It is quiet tedious to wait for those hits, and also when your thumb twicthes and you accidentally hit the button!
