Villager Hunting General Thread

[your local goomy]

New day, new peppy hunt! Once again, I'm looking for Bonbon, Felicity, Audie, Tangy, or Freckles~

1. Flora~ I LOVE flamingos irl, but unfortunately I don't think the peppy personality fits her.
2. Bubbles
3. Sprinkle
4. Sprinkle #2
5. Bianca~ Definitely a tempting one
6. Maddie~ Also an incredibly tempting one, as we share a name!
7. Ruby
8. Apple
9. Flora #2
10. Bianca #2
11. Patty~ Love the cows, but I have her amiibo card.
12. Cookie
13. Maddie #2
14. Pango
15. Patty #2
16. Maddie #3
17. Apple #2
18. Puddles
19. Puddles #2
20. Bluebear
21. Rosie
22. Chrissy
23. New neighbor!!

Super glad I was able to find this sweetheart. Felicity is probably my favorite cat, and while I do have her amiibo card, I think the standard peppy house that you get from the tutorial villagers fits her super well! Also glad that I could save the majority of my NMTs for when I start going through a wider pool of villagers.

My next hunt, which will probably take place later today, as I'm trying to TT through the tutorial, is definitely going to take longer. My main targets are both Cyd and Static, along with a snooty, preferrably a cat such as Ankha or Purrl, though I may pick up other cats like Rudy, Stinky, or, of course, Raymond, if I happen to find them.

I need some help with my campsite villager. Friga is here and I really want to move her in but no matter how many times I finally win and with both my player characters she will only try and replace Aurora who I will never let go of. Is it just bad luck or is Aurora the only villager Friga will try and replace?

when she tells you who she wants to move out, you need to turn off your game. if you say no and exit out of the dialogue, she will keep picking the same villager unfortunately.

So I’m out of luck since it auto saved right after she picked Aurora.

Thanks for letting me know. Oh well really wanted her.

 

[Moonlight.]

did a lot of island hopping today and last night and lemme just say, if i see one more chicken or bull, it'll be way too soon lol.

 

[BigBadButterfree]

I don't island hop very often, I prefer to either let new neighbors move in randomly or I'll invite someone I like from the campsite.

But yesterday I decided to try it.

Puddles just moved out (she will be very missed), so I had an empty plot, and I thought... Why not? So I bought three tickets and went for a ride.

First was Octavian. I considered him. But I already have two crankies, and my island personality mix is all messed up at the moment, so I didn't need to further that.

Next I met Lobo. Yay, another cranky. Don't care for the wolves much anyway.

Last ticket I found Tipper! I had her in my WW town and I loved her! So it was great being able to invite her into my island.

It's strange, when I started this game, I avoided animals I had in the past. I wanted to experience "new" friends. Now, it's nostalgic to invite animals I've had. It's almost like they're moving from my old towns into my island. Puddles was one of those, so is Fauna, and recently Walt, and now Tipper.

[deana]

Island hopping today! Looking for someone to replace Lolly so another normal villager OR the man who continues to elude me Henry the frog. I came across SO MANY great villagers on this hunt I wish I had room for them all. I also got lucky and visited money rock island multiple times which is great cause I do need bells at the moment.

Skye!

I've never had a wolf villager thus far in NH so I decided to take Skye to come to my island Still no Henry sightings but I think it was all in all a successful villager hunt.

 

[Flicky]

I finally found her, in my campsite no less! She asked to move Audie out three times in a row before settling on Cesar (who was the only villager I was willing to let go at this point). So glad to have Megan here at last.

 

[Bloodflowers]

I bid a fond farewell to Coco and set out on the journey for a certain special snooty

17. Roscoe I love him so much but I have his amiibo so I'll probably invite him later
18. Zucker
19. Lobo he's great but I already have Fang as my cranky wolf
20. Dobie same as Lobo. Love the cranky wolves
21. Renee

Spoiler: my new neighbour!

Cleo I wanted her since New Leaf but I've never been able to find her. Now I have my purple queen

 

[Stalfos]

So a couple of days ago I went island hopping for my final (?) villager for Tropicallo. Since I've found most of the ones I wanted already I didn't have much of a pool to choose from. I made sure to have plenty of nook miles before the attempt but luckily I didn't need many tickets before I found one of the last few that I was considering. Here's the list of encounters I had:

1. Chops
2. Phoebe
3. Boomer
4. Piper
5. Ozzie
6. Chrissy
7. Ken
8. Norma
9. Wendy
10. Roald
11. Marina
12. Bones
13. Wade
14. Audie

Only problem is that peppies are getting a bit overrepresented on my island now. Eh, I'm just gonna have to deal with it, I could never part ways with Flora or Bianca.

 

[Xara]

just got done island hopping and i’m genuinely so happy with my new neighbour!!!

Spoiler: lil storytime

besties, i’ve spent the past 3-4 days attempting to tt merengue out and i am,, exhausted lol.

literally every single one of my villagers asked to leave except for merengue, which was frustrating as hell lol, especially since i kept thinking about her asking to leave a few weeks ago, and how i had said no as i hadn’t received her photo yet. of course, this only furthered my despair when at 2am this morning, my one brain cell decided to function and i realized something;
merengue had been the last villager that i prevented from moving, meaning that she wouldn’t be able to ask again until i said yes/no to someone else.
now, i wasn’t 100% sure if this was the problem, but i genuinely couldn’t think of any other reason for her not asking to leave. so, i continued tt‘ing, said no to whitney when she asked to leave, and hoped for the best.

... merengue was in boxes an hour later.

my villain origin story is,, definitely much longer than it was 3-4 days ago LOL, but i’m happy that i finally got to go island hopping and that i can get back to playing normally after this. >:’)

Congrats on getting a dreamie!
And 44 tickets is really great going.

Reading through your list it's quite funny to see how different people's tastes are. If it was me doing it I would have stopped hunting at 10 different times haha (bangle, limberg, tybalt, ava, sherb, flip, Prince, stu, bangle again, timbra)

I'm not in the mood to kick anyone off my island, but reading those names really has me in the mood to villager hunt now haha

 

[your local goomy]

More island hopping for a normal and a peppy. Seriously can I like stop restarting my island @_@. Was lucky enough to get Papi on an island I visited whilst trying to build the shop, so no lazy hunting today!

1. Tammi
2. Marcie
3. Ava...I love chickens, but I want to keep the hunt going on for longer. But I'll probably nab her if I get her again so Goose can have a girlfriend lmao
4. Fauna...once again, I want the hunt to go on for a bit longer

11. Good Golly Miss Molly!!!

Found my normal neighbor! I try not to have too many top tier villagers on my island, but she's such a sweetheart and this is my first time having her in any AC game! Super excited to have this ducky around ^^

 

[JKDOS]

I'm sharing some info regarding campsite farming.. (Using Raymond for example.).

I've read on one of the wikis that with the campsite, there is a 50% chance you'll get a villager of the personality your town is missing. And out of that personality, the game will not pick a from one of your past villagers or past campers until you've cycled through them all.

This should mean you can give yourself an overall 50% chance of finding a non-Amiibo villager like Raymond, provided you have have no smugs in town, and have Amiibos for every smug. --- But also, through process of elimination, without owning any Amiibos, you can slowly work your way to that 50% of chance if you don't find him long before then.

Stats for nerds below

Spoiler

Removing Toby, and the forced smug at the start of the game. There are 33 possible smugs who can appear in the campsite from the start.

After every successful 50% roll on personality, your odds of finding Raymond are

# of previous Smugs in Camp/Town	chance for your desired smug
1​	3.03%​
2​	3.13%​
3​	3.23%​
4​	3.33%​
5​	3.45%​
6​	3.57%​

[DaviddivaD]

I found Audie at my campsite last week. Totally random. Grabbed her ASAP and took this picture. I even won the first game we played. She replaced Marty. I've wanted her for over a year.

Freya she’s a great villager and I came very close to taking her but my stubbornness wouldn’t let me

I’ve never had such terrible luck hunting. So many duplicates! I had a mental list of 10 villagers I’d happily invite to my island but I didn’t encounter a single one, but I saw Hornsby FIVE times. Who wants one Hornsby let alone 5? Sorry dude, you’re actually kind of cute for a rhino but my hatred for you will outlive the sun

I have 100 tickets left but I will need some time to regenerate before doing this again. Send pizza
