Villager Hunting General Thread

[WaileaNoRei]

isabelle just told me that there's a visiter in the campsite today too... would that either mean that julian is here again or that it's someone else?

I think Julian will be in your campsite until you invite him. At least you do seem to like him, even if he maybe does not fit your island theme long term. So many people got just their least favorite smugs as first camper. (It is always a smug, unless a small bug in the game occurs and you end up with a different type)

Went on four more villagers hunts and got Bluebear at 77 tickets, Skye at 94, Dom at 25, and Diana at 6!

Since that's...a lot of tickets to write out, I'll just...summarize again, although I suppose if anyone is interested for some reason, I keep a spreadsheet with all of my island hopping recorded that I could share.

Highlights:
1. A decent handful of cats and dogs, all of whom I'm delighted to see: Stinky, Merry, Olivia, Kabuki, Bob, Portia, Lucky, and Daisy.
2. Plenty of wolves, too -- Whitney and Audie each showed up a couple times, and we passed Wolfgang, Chief, Freya, and Kyle as well.
3. Marshall (twice) -- I would've taken him as my permanent smug if he'd showed up before Julian. Sorry, Marshall, missed your chance.
4. Stitches (twice)
5. Your standard adorable normal villagers -- Merengue, Sylvana, Olive, Marina, Tia, Melba, and Molly.
6. Flora! She didn't remember me, obviously. But it was fun to run into her again.
7. The part where I found Dom in 25 tickets (a short hunt for a villager with no amiibo? chef's kiss), and Diana in only 6!

Lowlights:
1. Hippeaux multiple times.
2. So many pigs, chickens, cows, and bulls -- what kind of farm operation is going on here?
3. Anchovy twice in a row.
4. A lot of frogs, none of whom were Lily.
5. A lot of cubs, none of whom were Judy.

All in all, I had a pretty good time island-hopping. I do find it pretty therapeutic, lol -- easy and repetitive. But I'm excited to be done and to start building Inverness, and maaaybe after everything's a little closer to complete, I'll consider getting my 9th and 10th plots and going through the whole ordeal again.

A few days ago I went island hopping looking for Reneigh or Kabuki, but ended up finding Dom after 5 tickets. I wonder if it's be possible trading him for Reneigh or is she way more popular?

from what i’ve seen, dom is definitely more popular than reneigh so i’m sure someone would be down for that trade!

Today I went island hopping to replace my dear Maggie, who I still may bring back in the end, because I love her so so much. I thought I was ready to let her go, but it was surprisingly sad.
However, one of my in game ‘resolutions’ this year was to not force myself to decide my favorites once and for all right away. So I have been trying to meet more villagers.

anyway...

as always I was excited to island hop!

it ended up being a short adventure, thought for a good reason. Here’s what happened:

1. Cyrano! he is cute! And so pretty! It is my first ticket (I want to keep island hopping) and I already have a cranky, but I think he is just great. Maybe one day.
2. Knox
3. Antonio. I still love him. Why do you torture me rng gods?
4. Spike - he’s great. I like so many cranky villager designs, but do not like the personality much...
5. Axel - I have never come across him before and he is so cute! I did not realize he had the green ear tips or the cute bangs. I already have two jocks but sad to leave him. He is cute
6. Deli
7. Patty
8. Renee - I seriouslyconsidered her. I don’t know what it is but I like her a lot.
9. Sydney! Oh my goodness, I have been hoping to find her for months!

9 must be my lucky rng number, I found Tabby on ticket number 9 too!

Welcome, sunshine!

sorry Renee, maybe someday!

 

[bestfriendsally]

there's a camper here today... it's elise the monkey... sorry, elise, but you don't really vibe with my island...

After a few days break from island hopping I've been TT'ing again to try and move out Cookie, unfortunately Rosie requested to leave instead and as I've just received her photo I reluctantly let her go I already have Bunnie as a permanent peppy and I'm not sure who will be my second peppy so I might get Rosie back in the future but for now she's moving on.
Looking for Bea, Portia, Lolly, Freya, Vivian, Bluebear, Olive, Caroline, Mint or Peanut, would consider certain penguins or koalas if I've been hopping for too long. I'd possibly take Wolfgang or Cheri if I saw them but would rather find take them on a later hunt.

1. Sparro
2. Ken
3. Sly
4. Alli - love her colour scheme but it wasn't time to see another alligator
5. Ursala
6. Lopez
7. Fang - very tempting, will probably take him in the future
8. Mott
9. Daisy - previous villager from my island
10. Renee
11. Annalisa
12. Soleil
13. Elise
14. Sprinkle - she's really sweet but I'm going to continue to look for one of the other villagers
15. Francine - not who I'm looking for but still might consider her and Chrissy in the future
16. Lolly! This is probably the quickest villager hunt I've done, was sad to see the back of Rosie so pleased to be replacing her with another adorable cat

Slides right back into this thread, lol.

I had some good news the other day, so I decided to celebrate by putting down my 9th plot and going villager hunting. I had a short list of villagers that I'd be interested in taking home, including some that weren't on my list before, since I now have one villager of each personality and don't have to worry about that.

The list was: Lily, Chevre, Cookie, Judy, Marshall, and Rosie.

(I don't know that I really am in love with Bluebear out of all of my villagers, so I'm especially keeping an eye out for peppies that might replace her, but I'm not in a rush - she's very cute and is welcome to stay until I get her photo.)

I ended up going through 115 tickets.

Some encounters:

• Maple and Lolly, two of my absolute favorite villagers! I have Maple on Muir Wood, and I have previously had Lolly for a very long time, so I left them both. ​
• Both of Muir Wood's rabbits, Genji and Ruby.
• Audie twice
• Just some other cuties that I like a lot but didn't feel quite right for Inverness: Molly, Pashmina, Purrl (twice), Pekoe, Gayle, Bones, Punchy, Fang, Coco, Melba...
• Hippeaux multiple times -- no thank you, sir.
• Beardo
• Zucker twice.
• Louie the gorilla and Peewee the gorilla, literally back to back.
• Frank the eagle twice, back to back.
• Just sooo many gorillas, rhinos, and chickens, for some reason?

Finally, on island 115, I found Chevre!

I love a lot of the goats, and she's definitely one of them! She's so sweet and soft-looking and her house is gorgeous. Welcome to Inverness, Chevre!

I wish I'd gotten Julian as my first smug, lol. I got Phil this time. I did later get Julian and Raymond and the rest of my residents through campsite time travel though. I went through almost the entire list of villagers before I got my last one. Took me 3 real-life weeks.

On my first NH game I glitched and got Celia as my forced camper instead of a smug. I was quite confused. Luckily my game itself was OK. Who was the first smug who moved randomly into an empty plot I set down? Phil. The game is determined to move him in even though I don't like any bird-like villagers. Not to my taste.

oh wow! It seems like your and Phil are really just meant to be

i didn’t used to be a fan of Julian (or any horse villagers) but now I feel like I have really come to like a lot of them, him included. He’s so fabulous!

I let Frank go a few days ago and manage to get Reneigh back in 21 tickets. I was expecting to have to island hop for months until I found her but I got pretty lucky. All the other villagers I want I have amiibos for so I'll keep cycling until I make a somewhat decent chunk in my stash of nmt.

 

[Sheep Villager]

Bam finally decided to ask to move. It's been about 5 months since my last natural non-campsite move out. I had 100k miles saved up and my only mission was to find a kangaroo OR Pango.

Turns out that was pretty hard.

I kept a log of all the animals I ran in to but the highlights were...

Judy and Dom for being popular villagers I had no interest in. If this had been closer to launch I would have considered getting one of them just to give-away for free.

Felicity, Butch, Canberra, Bettina, Becky who I all considered for a really long while. Butch was the hardest to leave behind, but I know from experience I would have had issues bonding with him since I already have a dog villager.

Becky I might one day get on my island, but I found her so late in the island hopping mayhem that I was already committed to my Kangaroo hunt.

54 islands later...

Kitt! We found our kangaroo, with just 10k miles left.

I'm not the biggest fan of the normal personality in this game, but I'm definitely more than fine with letting her live on my island for a while. Most likely not a permanent resident unless I decide to let Goldie move.

Honestly just happy to have a kangaroo on my island. I've been looking for one for quite a while.​

 

[bestfriendsally]

i'm thinking about inviting sally to the campsite via amiibo card tommorow :3

first sally on that day & then ketchup the next day ^^ they were my 2 best friends in my wild world town :3... & i want them to meet my new best friends, marina & jakey :3

 

[bestfriendsally]

It's been close to a week since my last island hopping adventure and I'm stuck in a creative block with island decorating so I've turned back to TT'ing to try and kick Cookie out. Unfortunately she's been as stubborn as ever and Kyle instead requested to leave, I agreed to let him go as he'd given me his photo the other day and because I hadn't planned to keep him permanently but it was sad to see him go.

Looking for: Bea, Portia, Freya, Vivian, Bluebear, Olive, Caroline, Mint or Peanut
Would possibly take Wolfgang or Cheri (potential permanent villagers) or certain villagers from the penguin or koala species if island hopping goes on for too long.

1. Wart Jr
2. Candi
3. Canberra - probably the only koala I'm not too keen on
4. Maple - really sweet, had her a long time on the island
5. Hornsby
6. Limberg - another mouse already
7. Sylvana
8. Sprocket
9. Alice - a very cute koala but won't be taking her so soon into the search
10. Ursala
11. Elise
12. Hornsby - he isn't a bad villager but I don't want to see him again so soon
13. Patty
14. Merengue - like the strawberry theme but not a villager on the hit list
15. Erik - another cute villager that I've already had
16. Norma
17. Astrid
18. Elvis
19. Bangle - my original peppy, nice to see her again
20. Pompom
21. Carmen
22. Mint! - she's really cute and is a villager I've been looking for so she's moving to the island

This went a lot quicker then I was expecting so think I'm going to move Mint in and then work on moving out Cookie again

 

[bestfriendsally]

at 5:40 pm, i went to invite sally for a 2nd time :3

your catchphrase is so cute ^^

at 5:47 pm, i baught a pair of kimono sandals, *for penny* for 1,600 bells, leaving me with 39,862 bells

at 5:48 pm, i went into the tent :3

i can do that :3 i think :3

thanks, sally ^^

i appreciate you coming to live here :3

at 6:03 pm

you're welcome :3

errr.. thanks, sally :3
