Animal Crossing: New Horizons 2.0 & Happy Home Paradise DLC live from Nov 5th 2021!

Only need one more thing from diving now to have all of them and it comes around in August.

I'm missing a bunch of fish still from summer and a few bugs as well, but hopefully I should have the non art wing of my museum finished within the next month! Never been able to do that in an AC game before.

I wish the bugs had an equivalent to fish bait. Grinding for them is a bit of a pain in comparison

Best way to grind for them is to go to a ticket island and cut down everything you don't need/destroy all flowers.

I'm gonna go after 4PM and cut down everything bar the palm trees to farm the rarer beetles.

I just spent 50 bait trying to get the two damn pier fish I don't have and didn't get them T_T

Sadly you can’t trade fish and bugs. Enjoy finishing off the museum while you can, once I finished it I’ve not played it anywhere near as much!

All but one beetle got now (Just the Golden Stag to go) and I've got my game currently set to like 5AM on a nook mile island to farm it, but I forgot to bring palm trees so there's only 4 and I'm waiting for it to become light so I can actually see the damn beetles.

I don’t think time changes when you’re on a miles island

Time changes, but what spawns doesnt. So going at 5AM then waiting for 7AM means the sun comes out, you can see and the overnight bugs spawn.

Got my final beetle finally!

YESSS! Got all but the ant now, managed to get all the beetles and the Banded Dragonfly. Just need to buy a turnip this weekend and let it rot and I've got all the bugs.

All that's left after that is to finish off the fish.

All I need is the ant, 2 pier fish and 3 fish only available from August. I can finally see the ending. I've been farming bait for ages for these damn pier fish but I've still only got like 6 stacks.

Got one of them, used about 70 bait, gotta get some more.

Once I've got this then it's nothing for me to get until August.

Don’t suppose you need much or the artwork/statues do you Qikz? I’ve not been on this in ages but remember I’ve got all my art sorted into fakes and genuine pieces out on my island, you’re obviously welcome to any of the genuine (or fake too) bits if you need them! I’m not sure if I posted a list in this thread or not, I’ll load it up tomorrow and see what I’ve got if you do need anything.

I think I’m definitely going to load Animal Crossing back up this weekend to get back to Keelhaul and chill out for a bit

I need quite a lot of it, so if you do have any spares I can see if I have them or not.

Used another 70 bait and didn't get a travelly. Kept getting damn Red Snappers and Sea Bass. I know the Red Snapper shadow size is slightly smaller, but I can't tell at all haha

I think this list is still correct, quoting Sprouty as they wanted a couple of pieces that I don’t believe have been exchanged as of yet, so I’ll give them first refusal on a couple of the pieces.

Redd is also on my island today, he has a genuine Graceful painting on sale too that someone can buy or I can buy and send to them.

If you still have them, I would love the Informative Statue &/or Robust Statue. Not sure if we are friends on the Switch, but my code is SW-0169-0725-2025 and my town is Miawville.

I also have some to share if anyone needs them. I'll post them separately in a minute just to save confusion should anyone quote...

Sprouty, do you still need/want the Informative & Robust statue?

I CAUGHT IT! Farmed 39 more bait, used 20 and got it and then on that catch my rod broke. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!

I can’t remember which of the pier fish took an age for me to catch, want to say it was the Mahi-mahi.

ive got 5 bugs and 2 fish left

All bugs caught
