Today I learned that you can get free items and Mario Items early off of a treasure island.

Today I learned that the Toy Day sleigh makes a sound when you sit on it. I had only placed it outside, and the sound isn't exactly loud so I only noticed when sitting on it on a quiet room on a house.

i've recently learnt that the sea creatures that you've already donated & catch again sell for alot if you sell them in bulk, if you catch alot of them :3

Do you mean, they sell for more than they did before you donated them? Or that they sell for more in bulk than individually?

i mean, if you sell alot of one species with alot of other species together... *sorry if that's not clear
* i guess in bulk...
I found this out by not donating a painting ever to my museum.
So the first time Redd comes to your island, he wanders around, you're not allowed to board his boat & he'll sell you a genuine painting. Well I bought it but never donated it, I kept it in my house cause I really like the Glowing Painting.
Second time he comes to visit the island, I still am not allowed to board his boat. So I find him wandering around and talk to him. He's now selling another painting, I forget which one, but for 49,800 bells. He won't hager down the price and I can't get on his boat.
So I donate another painting I had in my storage (I didn't buy it from him I got it from my other island and gave it to this island) and Blathers says his thing blah blah blah. Now I can finally board the boat.
Only to see everythin he has is fake. Atleast I got a serving cart colour variant I wanted

Oh, you mean, selling diving creatures earns you more money than you thought it would? Not that the price changes if you donate or sell more than one at once?i mean, if you sell alot of one species with alot of other species together... *sorry if that's not clear

okay, so... a sea slug normally sells for 480 bells, so 4 of them 1,920 bells, a oyster sells for 880 bells, so 3 of them sells for 2,640 bells,
seaweed sells for 480 bells, so 6 clumps of them sells for 2,880 bells, a sea anemone sells for 400 bells, so 3 of them sells for 1,200 bells,
a mantis shrimp sells for 2,000 bells, so 2 of them sells for double that... & a sweet shrimp sells for 1,120 bells, so 2 of them sells for 2,240 bells,
a sea cucumber sells for 400 bells, a sea star sells for 400 bells, so 2 of them sells for 800 bells, a acorn barnacle sells for 480 bells & a whelk sells for 800 bells
so all together, that's 21,700 bells
this is how many 'i ' caught, though :3 it's probably differs on how many you find...

Diving is a goldmine and it's how I built up my bells early on. It's a little tedious in that you have to chase the more expensive crabs/fish to the corners of the net but it pays for itself. That and if you find pearls those are just bonuses as well. I'd say early game purchasing a wetsuit and diving is invaluable; at least until you have enough bells to start investing in the Stalk Market. Also let's not forget, the wetsuit doesn't break like the other tools.

I just now realized that if you have "best friend" villagers on your island they will send you sometimes a fake or real painting or statue. This just happened to me when Raymond send me a statue but it turned out to be fake so I had to throw it in the trash. However Audie about a few weeks later sent me a real Gallant Statue and I was like surprised that was even a thing. I guess having best friend villagers is beneficial.

The new mario pipes can be used to warp from outside to inside and back, which is interesting. You'd be able to, like, cover a room entrance with a large item like a bookshelf and make a 'secret' room that you can only enter by finding the pipe outside.
You can even warp from one player house to another.
I wonder if you can gift these to villagers and warp to their place too...

I tried it and it doesn't work. Yeah the villagers can put the pipe in their home when you give it to them but unfortunately you can't use your own pipe to pop out from the pipe you gave them.
Interesting! Probably better though. Trying to get rid of the pipe in their house could take a while.

Ah, so what you were saying was that diving is more lucrative than you thought. I thought you were saying that something different happened when you sold more than one compared to selling one at a time, or that something different happened when you sold some after donating them. Just making sure I understand. There are all sorts of little hidden features of this game.
