Going to add those friend codes to the OP, but does anyone know if iOS and Android players can play together? I'm going to assume yes, until I hear otherwise.

I’m going to assume it’s like the other Nintendo stuff and say yes.

Ok that’s it I’m going to go home and make an aus iTunes account for this.

Can you make an AUS iTunes account from the phone? I seem to recall awhile back you could only really do it from iTunes on the computer since the phone wants you to add a credit card.

I just created one and downloaded the game solely from my phone, so it is indeed possible. I followed this guide: https://www.cnet.com/how-to/create-a-second-apple-id-for-downloading-apps-in-other-countries/

Awesome thanks!

I’m stuck in the hospital for with the wife for the next few days so animal crossing here I come!

I tried every drat which way to make an AUS iTunes account with no dice. Used my Mac my phone my iPad. None of them worked for whatever drat reason.

Did you make sure to use a real Australian address and phone number, as well as an email address without an Apple ID already associated with it?

Yes and yes. It would get all the way to sending the verification email and I’d input the code and it would give me an error telling me to contact iTunes support.

I literally spent like 2 hours trying it lol.

I do love me some AC though so it’s a drat shame it didn’t work.

Maybe just play seabeard for 2 months? it is a solid animal crossing esque knockoff. I played it for like 5 months before running out of content. although the first week of seabeard is by far the weakest. Ignore the storyline once it tell you to upgrade the manor for 1000 gold and instead go get the warrior. Once you have the warrior the game is amazing. It is way better than people gave it credit because the intro sequence was such poo poo.

Ok thanks I downloaded this and I’ll give it a try.

I can’t seem to create an Australian iTunes account without it requiring a payment method. Maybe this is new for ios 11? Kinda sucks, I wanted to give this a shot. Never had a DS or anything to play AC and this seems like a simple lite version.

Yes iOS 11 changed things for making an account. If you have a Mac you could try the App Store on there but I didn’t have any luck doing it a few days ago.

Notes from the late-game:

The highest loan amount I've reached so far is 150,000 bells (previous loans were 100k, and 125k). No idea if it'll go higher beyond this and it seems a little pointless at this stage as other players have to actively enter your camper to see your progress/setup when visiting.

The mid-tier amenities are definite must crafts, at least to level 1. It's not hard to get animals to level 7 very quickly. Early game should be focused on finding visitors who supply Cotton and getting them invited to your campsite as every early-tier amenities requires cotton.

High-tier amenities require two different kinds of essences (rare-ish crafting materials). They also have 72 hour timers. They're required to unlock the animal level cap of 20 (from 15 which you'll hit in short order if you aren't focusing).

Leaf Tickets are pretty sparse after you nab all the initial stretch goals. Only leveling up grants additional Leaf tickets after goals are met.

After level 12, animal visitors want you to craft a special item. Don't craft these until after you've unlocked the level 20 cap on visitors. It'll add 10 points to them and you'll quickly find them bumping up under the level 15 cap.


My advice for when the game launches later this month:

Starting out, find any visitor who rewards Cotton and get them into your campsite. Bother them at every opportunity to give you more cotton and build out every early-tier amenity to level 3.

Pick two visitor types to focus on and get every animal of those types invited to your camp. You'll want a balance of reward types so you stand less of a chance running out of crafting materials. There are five kinds of crafting materials: 3 common (Cotton, Wood, Steel) and 2 uncommon (paper, preserves).

Unlock all the mid-tier amenities (level 5 for your focuses, just level 1 for the other two types).

Grind away until you unlock the high-tier amenities for your chosen types then go back and unlock the others. Don't craft each visitor's special item until you've built their high-tier amenity.

Hoard Leaf Tickets until you see something you really, really want. You won't get many more free ones after the initial 400-500ish from leveling and stretch goals.

There's all my :words: about Animal Crossing.

IMO This should go into the OP.

You can get 50 bells and 900 points if you link your facebook / twitter / nintendo account to the game in the My nintendo section.

You can also get crafting materials and stuff.

I decided to buy the extra crafting slots since I had the tickets.

What’s up with the first slot though?

I can confirm that currently 250 is the cap. 100 starting, 50 from level ups, and 100 from tickets.

What level do you stop getting more inventory slots?

I almost never bother with the furniture store.

The Furniture store seems to repeat a lot of items.


Also I'm kinda confused about the dudes hanging out at your camp. I thought they refreshed every 3 and could give them items then. Is it really a once a day thing?

Also when does the clothes and Furniture shop even refresh?

IMO it almost feels better to let the villages you want materials from to roam free since you'll get a whole pile of cotton at once rather then just hoping they cough some up every hour or decide to give you a mission.



Yeah thats kinda how it feels right now.

I've got Ted maxed at level 15 friendship. Do I unmax him by building the guitar he wants or the level 3 Cool Amenity? I could do either but obviously want to unmax him first so I don't miss out on the XP.

They stock pile XP. I’m not sure how much but I know they do.

Not sure when the last time was that you got in there, but right now the level cap for animals is 70. Everyone has free access to the warehouse, and they've added a whole bunch of new animals/campers. There is a bunch more, for sure, I just cannot remember all of it.

Ok thanks! It’s been a long while since I’ve played it but maybe I’ll check it out again and see what’s changed.
