Animal Crossing: Crafted items get you a more lucrative price

You will find lots of items on your island everyday. These range from wood to clay to seashells. However, rather than selling these, you can craft something out of them. Crafted items get you twice as much as the cost of the material you use.

There are recipes available that will help craft shell arches, giving you twice as much on every shell that you use. Chairs, tables are easy to craft and also get you a more lucrative price. That’s easy money. Just remember to have enough to be able to craft, and you’re good to go. Hot items get you 4 times the price of the item. These hot items change every day.

Grow Money on Trees

If you are exploring your island, you will find a glowing spot at a different location every day. You dig that up to get 1,000 bells. That’s not all. You can even grow money on trees! You can plant up to 10,000 bells in that hole and it’ll grow a money tree. This is like an investment with a guaranteed return. The returns will be three times what you invested. But, you can only plant 10,000 bells and you will only get three times that. If you plant more than the stipulated amount, it will be a waste.

Just go to your inventory and select an amount you want to bury. Also, you can slap rocks in the game to get more bells. However, it is not certain which rock will contain those 16,000 extra bells. But it’s worth a shot.

Non-Fruit Trees

There are a lot of non-fruit trees on the island. If you shake them, you either get bells, wasps, or furniture. There is a pattern to this. You will find 2 trees with furniture, 5 with wasps, and 10 with 100 bells each. You can chop down the non-fruit trees and have 17 remaining, which give you something or the other, guaranteed.

Wasps are easy to catch and sell for a good price. All you need to do is equip your net and stand in front of the non-fruit tree before you shake it. You can catch these wasps and sell them immediately for 2,500 bells each. If you store them in your house storage for flick, you get 3,750 per wasp and that is a lot of bells per day.

 Animal Crossing: Visit the Residents on your Island

There is a way to find out if the resident is at home or not. Check their window to see if the curtains are open. It is worth paying them a visit. If they are crafting something they will be nice enough to give you a DIY recipe that will come in handy and help you craft more items.
