Villager Hunting General Thread

[toifshi]

This is how I felt spending 100 NMTs last night trying to find who I wanted. I eventually let the game decide for me by TTing a day and I got Audie >.< Not sure if I’m pleased or not.
Who were you looking for, just out of interest?

also love the doodles

coughs raymond, with the amount of tix i used i shouldve just bought him with the nmt, the game hates me
also shout out to ticket number 435, my only rare island

I don't know how others can just sit there and island hop for hours for a villager.

After my 5th time I had enough. I don't have the manpower for it.

behold! 4 days of island hopping, skipped meals and lack of sleep, unhealthy but alas ive made bad decisions
also i just skipped through the island towards the end

 

[Hobowire]

ohhh... i could donate 20 nmt to further your search?

I spent 100 NMT once looking for a single sheep, after 15 I HATED Orville and Wilbur. The cheer they expressed as I suffered. The WOHWOWWHOOOWH of Wilbur drove me to the brink.

 

[CrankyCupcake]

Eep. I feel your pain. Which is probably worse than mine. I can't imagine going through 1000 NMTs. After about 15, I would feel exhausted.

I did give up 3 days of my life to use the campsite method. Finally Raymond showed up as camper #72. I had seen every single smug villager then. He was the last. It was a soul-crushing experience I would not repeat.

 

[Pyoopi]

rough

Sounds like my time in uni, lol.
Maybe he'll appear as a camper?

 

[marshallows]

:'( im so sorry you didn't manage to find him. i tried island hopping for him before too but i really have to agree it's less painful to use the campsite trick to get him. in my case, it was my friend who got him in her campsite and she let me have him since she's one of the ppl who has no opinion towards him lol.

ps: love your doodles btw.

man i wish my friends loved me that much )) tho a friend did offer paying real money for him for me but i dont want that :'((

and thank you! also the last unclear doodle is him making fun of me more haha, doodled while one handed playing cause going through 1k tickets is rlly rlly boring and super depressing

This sounds so painful, I'm so sorry. You should definitely consider using the campsite method or just save up the NMTs to buy him outright. Island hopping yourself is a huge gamble that likely won't be worth it to you in the end if you're looking for one specific villager. Hope you find him soon.

I'm not after Raymond so much personally, but the adrenaline rush kind of sounds fun if you have nothing to really lose. Maybe I should try my luck one of these days as well.

 

[nyanicat]

Ugh I’m sorry you didn’t end up getting Raymond :/ that is such a struggle. sending you best luck!

i would try the campsite method but the smug villager in my island is one of my faves and i bought him for like a few nmt and i want to keep him ((

and yes it was extremely painful im still recoiling from it ahahaha

 

[Snakeisbaby]

Woww 1000 oh god the pain!!! Ohhh my gosh your dedication I can't!! I hope you get your paws on him soon!! I'm going island hoping now, not looking for anyone just for fun seeing who I come across. If I ever find him and you still don't have him going straight to you!!

don't feel bad at all! i think i just got lucky with the timing bc i asked her really early on. found out shortly after another friend also asked her and if i was a bit late on asking, i wouldn't have gotten him either lol. don't give up! i'm sure raymond will join you on your island soon enough!

your art is really amazing! definitely feel you on it getting tiring and boring super quickly. i wasn't anywhere near the amount of tickets you spent on your hunt (had about 330-ish), but i felt the burnout pretty early on during my hunt.

who's your current smug, btw?

no shame! i tend to ignore the popularity list. if you like a character then you like them. doesn't matter what other ppl think of them haha~ sending you luck on the rest of your raymond endeavors though! ^^

 

[mirukushake]

Wow, I'm awe of your persistence

I think my record is 12

You could see if one of your friends or one of the trustworthy people on here could hold onto Leopold for you while you do the campsite method. A lot more work involved initially, but it's an option you can take. Won't have to lose your current smug or have to wait too long for Raymond. ^^
