Topic: Animal Crossing: New Horizons

@Ulysses The only way to get artifacts is through Redd the fox. He’ll show up once, selling a random artwork. Buy the artwork, and then he’ll start randomly showing up in his boat on the other side of the island (so you’ll need a latter to reach him). If your game is up to date, you should meet Harv (a hippy dog), who will invite you to his island. After some time, he’ll ask for you to help fund a bunch of little RV shops, one of which being owned by Redd. If you complete the payment for his, he’ll show up the next day. He’ll have two artworks for sale, and he’ll only change the stock the next Monday or after you purchase one of the artworks. He’ll probably be selling fakes most of the time, though. Hope this helps. And yeah, I knew about the amiibo thing, I’m just not willing to go out of my way to buy amiibo just to get rid of unwanted villagers.

@StewdaMegaManNerd I understand the principle of not paying extra when you shouldn't have to; but at some point the amount of time you spend upset about that one villager you hate becomes an equivalent value to the small price of buying an amiibo card. Convenience and peace of mind are very real market forces after all.

And thanks for the general advice; I've been banging my head on Redd's boat never able to spot the fakes. I have yet to buy a real one 😆 Online guides say once you unlock Redd's boat, villagers will begin giving you art as gifts, but that hasn't happened for me yet.

Besides, how do you get rid of fake art? I can't sell it, and last time I tried I thought I couldn't give it away to villagers either. Do you have to buy/craft a trash can or something?

Also, I don't think I've discovered Harv yet despite being up to date. I need to look up whether I fly or ride Kapp'n's boat to his island.

@Ulysses
Do TIME TRAVEL . 😎
I got all the art stuffs from Redd by doing Time Travel.
You just only need find the day when Redd appeared on your island.
Once you find the day he appeared on your island, to respawn him again just simply Save your game, Quit and do Time Travel on next day (change the date from your Switch system when you are NOT currently playing the game).
After you change the date on next date, save, Quit and change the date to day before.
He will respawn again with different stuffs.
Repeat and rinse until you get all the art stuffs.

For creatures for Critterpedia, you need to time travel on specific month and time to find the bugs / fish / sea creatures.
Use the guide from Nookipedia to check which creature you don't have yet and try to time travel on specific month and time.

I did Time Travel so many times and I have finished my Art stuffs, Sea creatures and Fish (Still working on completing the Bugs).

@Ulysses Yeah, I understand how peace of mind is more valuable than money, but it doesn’t bother me enough to warrant buying an amiibo. Also, you can get rid of fake art but throwing it away in a trash can. And I have never had a villager give me art. I also just use a guide in order to root out the fakes.

@Ulysses
Oh, also.
I have learnt something from every villagers type.
You need to get ALL of every kind of villagers (Jock, Smug, Cranky, Lazy, Normal, Peppy, Snooty, Sisterly) when you start the game for the first time.
The reason you need every kind of villagers is because they will teach different Reactions that tied by their personality.
Each villagers will teach you 5 different Reactions with the 5th Reaction if you already become Best Friend with them.
Also, you need to keep them in your island as they have different DIY recipe when you find them doing crafting inside their house and again... tied by their personality.
You need to check every DIY recipe you got from specific villagers.
The reason I give advice like this because the villagers have different unlockable things that you need to get from them before you're thinking to kick them out from your island.
I know you have dislike with certain villagers and want to kick them out, but before you kick them, try to Best Friend with them until no more unlockable stuffs from them, then you can kick them out and replace with your favorite villagers (Well, very Backstabbing relationship eh? 😅)
I made a mistake by kick the unwanted villagers too early and I haven't learnt their Final reactions and some DIY recipe I don't have from them.
Next time I played ACNH again on my 2nd island, I will try to Best Friend with All of them to get all the Reactions and DIY recipe no matter how ugly their looking, it just only temporary friendship, then I will kick them out once I don't need them anymore.

I am looking to complete my fruit collection on my island for ACNH does anyone have any spare apples or pears they want to trade or sell. I have all the other fruit?

@Fallingshadow Im playing daily and you can gather anything you need on my island if you want. Just let me know.

@Gorlock that would be great

@Fallingshadow sent friend request; just give me a list of what you need and I will mail it to you once you accept

Just need a apple and pear

@Fallingshadow I have tried to send you a message with fruit at the morning but game didn’t offer me the option to send it to you. It’s forever since I did this with my nephew, maybe we have to visit each other first? Will figure it out when I get home from office (8-9 PM CET). Will be online at evening.

@Gorlock ok will try to be on

@Fallingshadow gates are open
