I recall this info being posted originally by someone who's be doing datamining, so I don't think it's wrong, but I'm guessing "priority" is still not a guarantee, I think I've seen Label all of once since I started.

I think I've just about always had Celeste on a night where either Isabelle or one of my villagers tells me there will be shooting stars. I think the dataminer commented it's possible to get shooting stars multiple times in a week, but you'll only get Celeste once?

Yeah I think the priority is just a slight increase in the odds. Celeste only visiting once a week seems like it would be a thing but I can't recall. I do know she's visited me a few times without me noticing, she seems to be one of the sneakier visitors for me.

I think the system just kind of stinks because it leaves too much open to chance. I get it makes them more rare and "special" but it's too rare. Redd, especially, as someone who's basically the sole source of a whole museum branch really feels like they should be, at least, more like Daisy Mae. Have a short window of time where he's always there, thematically I'd assume very late at night or early morning. Redd already has an additional layer of gambling thrown in, no need to double-dip. Someone could wait two months to get Redd now and end up with four fakes.

They're going to add visitors eventually, if that further dilues the pool of special visitors it'll be a bummer. Fortunately, Kicks and Leif both seem like slots that could be rolled into shop upgrades. Even Label, really. Make room for that giraffe with ugly rich people stuff

let me build another store for CJ and Flick! I dont care if they only buy at a premium once a week I just want to make a neat little shop for them to hang out in!

1) Join & auth the goon discord
2) Buy turnips Sunday morning, as many as I can stuff into my pockets. Dump them on my beach.
3) the turnips will not despawn until the next Sunday
4) Wait until somebody in the goon discord posts that their prices are above 500. Get on to that person's island with my turnips in my pockets and sell them.
5) did I miss anything? Are there any gotchas with getting somebody's friend code from the goon discord that I need to know about? I only just bought a switch and this is my first switch game and also my first AC - I feel like a toddler trying to figure out how to say his first words

Pretty spot on, although if you wanna get technical they won't despawn, they'll spoil. They don't just disappear, so if you miss it with a beach full of turnips you got some cleaning up to do

Nope, that's basically it. Lloid is pretty self-explanatory (you just click the reaction icon under someone's entry) and it tells you when to get ready and when you are up to visit (including dodo code).

This is also true, but tips don't have to be bells either! Someone dropped black roses on my island once when they were over to sell turnips and I was overjoyed.

The turnips will rot, not despawn. Rotten turnips are also a decent way to get ants/flies for your museum.

Also, do not adjust the system time backwards while you have turnips; that will instantly rot them. Forward is ok though.

This works with the caveat that someone can steal them if you invite randos into your island, I just have a fenced in area set up to dump em in just in case.

Just be prepared it may take time to get onto the island to sell turnips depending on how many others hop in the queue. Sometimes over an hour but you'll be notified by discord when it's your time.

The second story or basement are good for this because they can hold up to 60 stacks of turnips.

Bonus points if you use dirt-looking flooring so it looks like you're just growing turnips.

Celeste can visit when there are no shooting stars, though, I thought?

Khanstant posted:

AFAIK her presence means there could be, but the difference between "meteor shower" nights and "shooting stars" seems to be a gulf. I've had shooting star nights where I see them, miss em, and then don't see or hear another one for the rest of the night before quitting.


Reason I post chart is check out the second row of juicy visitors. Only per weeks means it might be weeks or months before you see any given one.

Basically, I think it means Celeste won't show up if you have a cloudy/rainy night. No stars equals no Celeste.

And the Redd rotation is why my friend and I started just looping back to a day when we know he's there. While we admittedly only have a small sample size, we've noticed some trends:

1) Statues seem to be really rare. I don't think I've seen a day with more than 1 statue offered (often no statues offered), so if a real one pops up it should be a priority
2) Some paintings seem to be really frequent. Personally I feel like I see the jolly and wistful paintings way more than anything else

What's this turnip code?

Edit: okay, so it looks like a dodo code is a 5 character number that lets you find an island without entering somebody's 12 digit friend code

I guess the turnip code plugs you into a website that hands out dodo codes on a revolving basis?

yeah, you should just be able to go to the link and get the code. it just lets you manage how many people get codes at once, and I've heard that if you limit it to 2-3, it's way easier for people to get in and out faster for everyone.
