Villager Hunting General Thread

[Aquaria]

Ok so I always see people who say they're selling raymond for 200 nook mile tickets and others saying they used 1000+ nmt to island hop until they found him



I literally found him this morning randomly with 1 nook mile ticket lol

I feel bad to whoever used over 100 nmt honestly

 

[Yoshisaur]

I might island hop today for fun. I'm not looking for anyone particular but Marina finally asked to leave. If I don't find anyone good I'm gonna scan in Stitches over whoever randomly moves in.

 

[azurill]

I’m island hopping to for two islands.
For my main island Serenity Ketchup moved out and moved into my second island Jurai. I’m hoping to find another penguin villager.
Starting with 22 tickets
1) Leopold
2) Patty
3) Coach
4) Cole
5) Renee
6) Bangle
7) Quillson
8) Ike
9) Tucker
10) Grizzly
11) Fang : I have his amiibo so I can invite him later
12) Amelia
13) Sly
14) Tipper
15) Elise
16) Paolo
17) Dobie is moving to Serenity. I was looking for a penguin but I do like Dobie. I couldn’t get him when he was a campsite villager since he just wanted to kick out the penguins I do have.



For my second island Juria Isabelle keeps saying I need more villages to get to 3 stars. Since I only have 7. I’m not to picky for this island.
Starting with 20 tickets
1) Del
2) Astrid
3) Becky
4) Rocket
5) Flo I love Flo but she’s already a permanent villager on Serenity
6) Colton
7) Dizzy is moving to Jurai

I went island hopping yesterday :] I wasn't looking for any villager in particular, just any I liked and fitted the cute vibe of my island !
It didn't take long at all - I found my favourite duck villager, Ketchup <3
I'll probably tt to get a new plot and go hunting for another villager tonight. I'll update who I find on my way!

 

[JemAC]

I'm unexpectedly island hopping again as I TT'd too much moving buildings about and Goldie asked to move, which I agreed to as I already have her photo and I've had her a long time.
Looking for Molly but if I don't find her after 20 NMTs then I'll take whoever comes first out of Molly, Cookie, Bea, Portia, Lolly, Bluebear, Cheri, Chèvre, Nan or most of the wolf villagers.

1. Tex - I generally like the penguins but not a massive fan of Tex
2. Roald - shame I'm not hunting for a penguin today a different day I'd probably take him
3. Ken - he's alright, not what I'm looking for though
4. Tipper - don't mind tipper but not looking for a cow villager
5. Anicotti - not awful but also not looking for a mouse
6. Freya - Oh no, told myself I'd give Molly 20 chances to turn up but I really like Freya, sure I'm going to regret leaving her
7. Weber - this would've been a much better outcome if this were a different duck
8. Deli - a nope on my last island hop and a nope now
9. Ellie - aww like her but she's not one of my top priority villagers
10. Tiffany - like most rabbits but not a huge fan of Tiffany
11. Alli - nice colour but nope
12. Puddles - not bad but another no
13. Pietro - I like his design just not looking for a sheep villager today
14. Canberra - not one of my favourite Koalas
15. Vic - not keen, definite nope
16. Punchy - nope, again not who I'm looking for
17. Rolf - like him but also not on the list
18. Bones - not one of my top choice dogs but if I'd passed the 20 NMT mark then I'd take him
19. Ellie - she must really want to move to the island but still no
20. Caroline - one of my favourite squirrels, maybe another day
21. Tammi - absolute nope, she moved herself onto my island once before, won't give her a chance again
22. Monty - these monkeys aren't getting the hint
23. Patty - another nope
24. Crackle - not happening
25. Sterling - a no once again
26. Bangle - like her but I've had her before
27. Nan - really like Nan, I'm passed the 20 NMts mark and she's on the priority list, so she is now my newest villager

Had a lovely villager hunt this Wednesday. Tank asked me to move, and despite him being a fairly recent addition to my island I let him go because I just couldn't click with him after I realized he has a leaf stuck to his head (is that a dumb reason?? lol idk).

For this island adventure I was hoping for Henry, Flo, or another cranky villager (there are many many that I like)

Pecan - it hurt me so much to leave her
Hornsby!!!

Ultimately I am pretty happy with this. I did really want to try out a rhino villager for a while since I didn't click with Tank. It's only been a couple of days but I think I am going to keep Hornsby around for a while For why I didn't take Pecan I just have a personal rule that I can't have 3 of a personality type but I will find her again one day.

I'm selling stuff like crazy hoping to island hop for Genji when Zucker moves out on the 2nd! I have neither a Jock or Rabbit, so I think my chances are good?

Wishing you the best of luck, because Genji is amazing! But FYI, for all island hopping after your initial three villagers (who must me lazy, normal,
and peppy) the mystery island villagers are totally randomized.

(It actually ‘rolls’ for a species first, then randomly chooses a villager from species.)

So not having a jock won’t effect it (and technically not having a rabbit very very slightly makes it harder to get him, but only very slightly)

But I do wish you the best of luck on your hunt! Post the results so we can see how it goes

So it’s slightly harder to get a species you don’t have? How hard would it be if looking for more of the same species. When I go back to island hopping I’m trying for an all penguin island. I have four penguins now. Would it be harder or easier to find penguins villagers.

Not harder to get a species you don’t have, but if you want only one specific member of a species, if you have no villagers of that species, it will give the game more options to choose from when it roles that species. (That is why Raymond is hard to find than marina, for example)

For your situation it will not effect the odds)

I see that makes sense thank you for explaining.

Aaaaa that's so sweet of you to offer ;A; I went to bed 2 hours before you commented so I caved and bought him off ebay for $3 before 5am rolled over V_V
I checked literally every platform I could and nobody else had him up for adoption LOL
at least I used the extra NMT to buy some genuine art off nookazon.
