Villager Hunting General Thread

[Xara]

i wasn’t expecting to get to go island hopping again so soon, but since bunnie gave me her photo a few days ago (one of the quickest i’ve gotten thus far!), it was time for me to find another new neighbour :’). so, i did what i always do; grabbed a few packs of nmts, turned on some music and prepared to go at this for a bit.

...only to find my new neighbour on the very first ticket.

Spoiler: 🐰

i’m absolutely not complaining, though! i adore carmen with all my heart and am so happy to have her, i just wasn’t expecting this ‘session’ to be so short.

 

[Disneyfangirl23]

I love using nook miles tickets XD
hopefully I’ll find my dreamies
I have a lot of dreamies cookie being one of the them lol

 

[Moritz]

Not really sure who I'm looking for

18) goose
19) Walt
20) marcie
21) Phil (I was about to take him but didn't like his eyes in the end)
22) daisy
23) Wendy again... no girl, just no
24) amelia
25) merengue
26) Wolfgang
27) Paolo (temping)
28) gruff
29) anchovy
30) bud
31) cesar
32) boone
33) Claudia
34) most
35) willow

37) Jay
38) deirdre
39) Charlise

45) apple again... hit her over the head multiple times and put out her fire. Hopefully she got the message
46) goose again... this is going well I see
47) gala


48) Paolo... again... but I was tempted before and now I'm bored.
So welcome to my island

 

[azurill]

I now that Diana asked to leave Jurai and I gave her photo and Amiibo it’s time for island hopping. I have 75 NMT’s to start with . Looking for Ken, Kevin, Dom or Olive.

1) Marina : I like her but have her amiibo
2) Vesta: I do like yer but looking for Dom
3) Margie: I really like her had her on my main island and have her amiibo
4)Cheddar : tempted
5) Amelia

this ended quicker then I thought it would

Spoiler: My new neighbor

Wasn’t looking for her at the moment but love her.

 

[.: Meri :.]

Now that Jacques has officially left Lostglade, it's time for some villager hunting! I'm hoping to find any of my remaining dreamies—Deli, Rod, Merry, Deirdre, Sylvana, or Mint! I still need Lily too, but thankfully she moved into my mom's island, and she's holding her for me—so if I do come across her, I won't be taking her.

1. Benjamin—apparently he's still waiting for his owner to return. Hopefully he'll be back soon!
2. Marcel. He didn't say much.
3. Tybalt
4. Nate
5. Opal
6. Robin
7. Derwin
8. Deirdre!!! Just in time for autumn, too!!

That ended... much sooner than I expected. Once again, I have been blessed with an incredibly fast villager hunt. Glad I took the time to gather resources while I was out.

 

[Mattician]

Sad day yesterday.

I searched for 5-6 hours and used exactly 200 NMTs. Was only looking for Kiki or Lolly. But I didn't. After 700+ NMTs I couldn't find either of one of them.

First cat: 10th ticket - Kabuki
Second cat: 169th ticket - Rosie
Third cat: 182nd ticket - Punchy
Fourth cat 196th ticket - Purrl

A major gap in between finding the first and second cat. Only 4 cats out of 200 tickets.

I saved up nook miles for months because it was my last chance to use NMTs when I finally let Kevin move out. Since the last villager to move in will never get the move out bubble, and I already have 9 permanents. So if I didn't find Kiki or Lolly, a random villager will move in. Now I can only replace the random move in if I find Kiki or Lolly in the campsite. Who knows how long that will take because I don't time travel. I guess I could buy amiibo packs, but I don't really want to.

 

[Snek]

Ok guys. This is my first and last time of posting an Island Hopping! I finally got my ultimate dreamie! I've been playing since launch and I've haven't seen him until now! The odds were stacked against me. I knew from my experience with RNG and TBT raffles that it wasn't going to be easy to find him...but I finally did! I'll list my entire island hop along with snarky comments about each encounter.

The Quest for Drago

1. Caroline - no. didn't expect a miracle
2. Snooty -
3. Plucky - no to the granny chicken
4. Boone - hahaha Booone! you really don't remember me? Don't remember all the pitfalls I pushed you into or the nets smacked in your face? really?
5. Norma - I already got your picture Norma. I dont need you again
6. Rocket - seriously? never.
7. Curlos - no señor
8. Astrid - sorry Pietro is the only clown for me
9. Iggly - oogly doogly ugly
10. Baabara - naaaah
11. Benedict - no. I don't even know who you are
12. Sly - not Drago so no
13. Claudia - no no no
14. Poncho - tempted
15. Sylvia - literally who? I had to check the name.
16. Rosie - pass. can't say bad things about cats
17. Merry - pass. this one does unsettle me with the hair though.
18. Elmer - what kind of catchphrase is tenderfoot?
19. Marshal - no. sorry marshal stans.
20. Aurora - the journey continues
21. Queenie - every island hop, I swear
22. Bree - if I ignored you on the last island hop, did you think I wouldn't this time? Did you?
23. Angus - that flame tee is dark, japan. Dark.
24. Graham - I can't take you seriously with those glasses. I just can't
25. Teddy - no, no bears.
26. Joey - he's wearing a diaper. no.
27. Anicotti - ugh Im definitely cursed or something
28. Rex - no. don't settle for the ordinary.
29. Molly - this really tore me. I was extremely tempted. I had to say no. If I get Fauna though...not sure if I can
30. Biskit - his head does remind me of a pumpkin but I think I could do better...maybe
31. Sydney - the adventure continues
32. Boots - it's like the game knows I want Drago…
33. Rowan - no, I already have a tiger
34. Naomi - my eyes
35. Naomi (again) - Evil cow! You deserve to be a hamburger! *I immediately hit her repeatedly with the net
36. Tipper - what's with the rng and giving me cows…
37. Cobb - how is he a jock again?
38. Yuka - the pain, the suffering
39. Mathilda - could be a Halloween villager. The joey can be a demon spawn coming out of her body...nah I can do better
40. Marina - hey. I know you want Zucker but I just have to say...he's not that into you. I ain't inviting you honey. no.
41. Annalise - nope! next!
42. Frank - I'll be frank. No.
43. Renée - not sure what the design team was smoking
44. Octavian - I already got your photo Doc I don't need you again
45. Simon - Simon says: no!
46. Eugene - Koalas are cool but not for me. I can see why some like Eugene though
47. Norma (again) - I know you miss my island but you're starting to annoy me. You cost me a NMT. never inviting you again
48. Del - I already got your photo Del. Why every other gator villager but Drago?! Why RNG? Whyyyyy

RNG finally listened....

49. DRAGO! I found my boy! Found you at last my baby dragon! My NH life is complete!

also, can you tell that i’m messing around with photo editing again LOL.

 

[JemAC]

It’s been a long time since I last went island hopping as I have most of my dreamies but recently Whitney gave me her photo so I decided that I’d let her leave when she next asked. She is a villager that I really love but I have Diana and Vivian currently as permanent snooty’s and while I really like the personality I know I don’t need 3 of them on my island and I like island hopping and finding more villagers that I want to collect a photo off.

Today, however, Isabelle informed me of a visitor to the campsite so I headed over there and met Bill. I don’t currently have any jocks on my island and hadn’t really been planning on looking for any as I’m not a huge fan of the personality but recently I’ve grown fond of Bill after seeing him a lot while playing Pocket Camp and thought he might look really cute on my island, especially as a friend for Molly.

As I was only willing to let Whitney be replaced at the moment and didn’t want to spend too much time trying to get him to move in I decided to give it one chance to see if he picked the right villager and for once it actually worked out so Bill is now the newest villager to my island

 

[azurill]

Island hopping on Jurai since Melba left and I have her photo and amiibo. Trying again to find Dom , Ken or Kevin. Maybe this time I won’t get sidetracked by another cute villager. The chances are high I will see someone else. Starting with 70 NMT’s.

2. Gaston : not bad but not right now
3. Antonio: : I like him but have his amiibo
4. Hamphrey: so tempting maybe if I see him again
5. Winnie: I like her maybe another time
6. Tad : almost asked him
7. Fauna: had her on my main island land have her amiibo
8. Angus: he’s ok
9. Ava: sorry wrong chicken
10. Rowan : he is ok
11. Tasha : not looking for her right now
12. Rodney: sorry but not looking for him
13. Tipper : I like her but have her amiibo
14. Velma: meh sorry
15. Annalise : tempted but not yet maybe if I see her again
16. Freckles: meh sorry
17. Rocco: sorry but no
18. Broffina : sorry wrong chicken
19. Gala: loves her was already on Jurai. Can invite back with amiibo card
20. Octavian : I like him but have his amiibo . Now I’m stopping for the night will try again tomorrow
21. Keaton: he’s ok
22. Spoiler: Yea I got distracted again new villager is

    . Maybe someday I will find Dom, Kevin and Ken.

I wasn’t planning to go on another villager hunt so quickly but Skye is the only villager trying to leave Serenity. Even though I don’t have her photo I do have her amiibo so I can try again to get her photo another time. I have decided to finally make Serenity an all penguin island so only looking for penguin villagers. This could take awhile with the only two exceptions being Dom or Kevin since I really want them on Jurai.

Kidd
Bunnie
Hippeux
Claudia
Rolf
Sly
Violet
Cookie: so tempted
