You can fish, catch bugs, participate in festivals, and help neighbors. There are almost no limits. I hope this guide helps you. In this guide you�ll find hints, tips, and much, much more. I hope it�s useful! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Controls xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx L or R- nothing B- Pick items up or cancels action A- Interact with people or select item Start- saves the game Select- nothing Stylus or d-pad- move around xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Starting the game xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx You start out the game in a cab ride with Cap�n. He�ll ask you a bunch of questions that determine your name, gender, and where you live.(He�ll ask you what brought you to the town, and whatever you chose, your house will be closest to that place or thing) After that, you�ll go into the town hall. Talk to the girl. It doesn�t matter which option you chose. Then use your map to go to your house. As you�ll see,there�s not much there. When you�re ready, leave. On your way out, you�ll run into Nook. He�ll tell you to meet him at his shop and about your enormous dept. Go to his store. He�ll give you a bunch of work� On the Brightside, it will give you 1,500 bells out of your dept. Now you�re free to do whatever you want. Yahoo! I�m free! That�s what your character will shout. Or something like that. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Making money xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx There are many ways to make money in ACWW. My advice is to experiment. -Foreign Fruit- One way to go is foreign fruit. The first step is to send a letter to everyone in your town. Be sure to attach a piece of foreign fruit to each letter. Open the letters you get back. If you get some foreign fruit, that�s good. Do this until you have about 20 pieces of foreign fruit. The next step is to plant all the fruit. But not like regular trees. You need a shovel, axe, and watering can. Once you have all those, chop down a non-fruit tree. Dig out the stump and plant a piece fruit. Do this with all the fruits. Then water all the saplings. Make sure to water them every day until they�re fully grown!!! Oh, and if you have coconuts, it�s a lot more complicated. In my opinion, it�s not worth it. For coconuts, you have to grow a tree on the soil between the sand on the beach and the grass. You have to grow your own because trees don�t grow there. Then cut and plant. The reason I say it�s not worth it is because it only has 2 fruits, while other fruit trees all have 3. But, do whatever you want. Anyway, back to growing foreign fruit trees. Alright. Don�t sell the fruit until you have a nice size orchard. Keep planting the fruit. And if you plan on having a huge orchard, don�t cut all the non-fruit trees down. Cut the native fruit trees down. I�ll explain why later in this section. Once your orchard is a size to your liking, you can sell the fruit for 500 bells each! With 3 fruit per tree, if you had an orchard of 100 trees, that would be 50,000 bells every day!!! This is personally my favorite way to make cash. I have a whole orchard. Whenever I need cash, I just shake some trees for some fruit! -Collecting shells- This is a horrible way to make cash in my opinion. They rarest shell is the pearl oyster. But that only sells for 1,500 bells! And you rarely find one of those. But if you just started, it�s o.k. But I do recommend sweeping the beach, because once in a while a coconut washes up. -Fishing and Bug catching- These are pretty good ways to make bells. Fishing is pretty easy. Just buy a rod and cast when you see a fish. Most fish sell for a pretty good price. Bug catching can be good too. The best way to make money this way is to catch a bee. Not a normal honey bee. No way. Have your net ready. Not equipped, but ready. Shake non-fruit trees until a nest falls out. Run south and quickly equip your net. Run to the swarm and swing your net. If you catch it, you can sell it for 4,500 bells! If you don't, you'll get stung and get a large bump onyour face. Get rid of it by turning of the game or buying medicine and using it. Also, if you ever find yourself playing at night, equip your net. There are some rare bugs hanging about the trees.... Like the herculese beatle. A lot of bugs only come out at night. And if you don't play at night, just set the time of day to night. I recomend doing this on the ds screen, not in the game. The reason is because this can cause glitching. Bad glitching like the game freezing up. So don't do it. Like Resetii would say, JUST DON'T DO IT!!! -Fossils- Selling fossils is not a very good idea if you care about the museum. If you get a double, then you can sell it. I don�t recommend using this method if there are other ways you can get bells. If you're just starting out though, it is a quick way to make some cash if your really in need. To find fossils, find a star shaped hole in the ground. Use your shovel on it. You could get a fossil, a pitfall seed, or a groid machine. -Shaking trees- Shaking trees can be a good way to make bells. What you do is go around and shake all the non-fruit trees. This is why I said not to cut all the non-fruit trees down in the foreign fruit section. Some of the trees will have one 100 bell bags. And some of them will have furniture or a bee nest. You can sell the furniture and try and catch the rare bee. -Trash?- A nice way to make money on this game is garbage picking. Yep. You read right. Garbage picking. Head to the town hall. Check the recyclable box. Take anything in there out and sell it too Nook for easy cash. Also, check the lost and found by going to the gate and talking to Booker. Take everything but the pitfall seeds. Nook won't buy these and they're worthless. You know the sayin, "One mans trash is another mans treasure?" It's true in a wild world. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The Environment xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Taking care of the environment is a big part of ACWW. It makes your town look good, and it keeps your neighbors happy. Keeping the environment in good condition means picking weeds, making sure there�s no trash on the ground, and picking shells off the beach. This can be hard work. But just pick up a piece of trash as you run errands for Nook. Or pick a weed when fishing. The little things add up. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Museum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx You can look at countless items at the museum. Dinosaurs, bugs, fish, and constellations. That is, if you donate them first. You can also buy coffee, listen to music and make constellations. It�s a useful place. You can also use it to see if a fossil you dug up was a double. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Upgrades xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx There are house upgrades and shop upgrades. You have to pay for the house ones. But not for the shop ones.(Thank God!!!!) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Golden Tools xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Golden tools are tools that never brake. -Axe -Watering Can This is the hardest golden tool to get. You have to keep the environment clean for 16 days! That is hard work. This includes picking weeds, and picking up shells and garbage. It's going to take some work. -Shovel Getting the golden shovel is relatively easy. Buy two shovels, bury one, and then dig it up after 24 hours. Easy, right? You can also time jump too make the time pass faster and then after you obtain the shovel, reset the time. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Festivals xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx There are many festivals in ACWW. You can often get special items from these events. Acorn fest- This festival takes place the second week in August. Give acorns to Tortimer to get special items of the mush item set!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Item list xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This is the master item list.
