re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Official Thread (March 20)

Thanks for all the DLC info sahiko. All of that will will be really helpful.

More DLC Info:

To unlock Counters and Pillars, you have to do a certain number of homes and then the monkey will set up a materials box beside the DIY bench upstairs in the work office.

There's a note inside that will tell you what materials he needs. There is a chest of drawers to the left of the locker where you can change your work outfit, and that chest accesses your home storage (for an easier way to grab mats).

Once you give the box what it needs you'll do the happy mortgage paid off sound/dance, and the next day the monkey will stop you when you get off the plane and load 3 new recipes to your Nookphone. A Pillar, a Low Counter and a Regular Counter of whatever material he was fishing for before. The materials box will then have a new note in it of what he wants next.

It sort of becomes a daily at that point, you can only unlock one family of counters/pillars a day.

So far none of what he's asked for has required a huge amount - a lot of times it's 10 or 15 of something. You can 'donate' a 30 stack and it'll remove what it wants out of the stack, you don't have to be precise and it won't take more than it's asking for. It's all normal mats it's looking for - clay, stone, iron, woods.

Good info. I did the first island task of the reading room for the elephant and I haven't been back since.

It sounds like at 30 homes I'm going to get some kind of K.K. Slider Music Festival on my beach,

Speaking of which...

Must he set up his stool right in front of the door at Resident Services?

Take that shite to the Roost, man.

Somewhere between 20 an 30 homes I just unlocked an ABD machine in the DLC home office that lets me deposit Poki, Withdraw Poki, and exchange Poki to Bells or Bells to Poki with a daily exchange rate posted. I believe she said I can only exchange once per day.

I'm going to keep an eye on this thing because there's a chance I might be able to play it like the turnips market and flip a profit somehow, maybe. Right now my rate is 100 poki for 222 bells.

ETA: Looking it up on Reddit, it looks like it's not once per day but there's a specific amount per day you can exchange. Someone said 30k Poki, someone else said 15k Poki. So not something worth spending a lot of time tracking I guess, but probably worth waiting for a day where Bells net me more Poki if I want to move some of my Jeff Bezos island money into Poki to buy things from the Wendell catalogue.

I just invited my first villager from my home island to the vacation island using the souvenir chocolates.

You give them to the villager as a gift like you would any other gift that might level up friendship. They realize it's from the resort island you work at and you're given the option to go with them immediately to the resort island. They get excited and go wander off on the beach to 'explore'.

Once you've gone inside and changed into your work outfit, when you come back out the villager is chilling on the beach with idea bubbles about what they want in a vacation home.

It works exactly the same as any other time you've sold someone a house so far, but apparently after you've gotten K.K. to come do his Fyre Fest shite, you will unlock the ability to remodel their houses on your main island. Which is great because I have some starters in their starter houses full of the most inane garbage I've given them over the years to befriend them and because they ran up to me screaming they wanted to buy what was in my pockets.

Can confirm it's 15K

Post-credits, things are kicking into gear.

I learned a bunch of new Dance emotes.

Next Day, Tom Nook calls and offers you the chance to remodel villager homes on your main island. It's now baked into his consulting services menu options in Resident Services.

When I went to the DLC island, a Newt named Nat with a bug net was wandering around the way Leif was, lost and in need of the school. Once there, he teaches everyone how to use Bugs in designs now, letting them freely roam people's yards.

All of the ugly decorations Niko put out for DJ K.K.'s music festival are gone, thankfully.

I halfassed a lot of things that I need to go fix, but I have absolutely no regrets about choosing Cephalobot as my doctor for my hospital or naming the apparel shop 'Holy Forking Shirtballs'.

Do you know what they fixed?

ACNH 2.0.2 Patch Notes

It looks like a lot of little bugs introduced by 2.0 got cleaned up, nothing major.
