Achieving 5-stars without spending bells in Animal Crossing New Horizons
YouTuber Dagnel decided to take this challenge head-on, and it landed him on an island with no infrastructure. Everything in this game requires currency to build, create and invite more villagers. However, in this case, every important item is out of reach and you cannot spend even a single bell. This version of the island will only use the resources that are available on the land.
The best way to achieve this is by visiting other people’s islands to maximize resource gathering. Moreover, selling items to vendors can serve as a great way to manage inventory. However, no slingshot or special items can be acquired, since they can only be bought. Gamers will have to rely on standard items and resources that are available.

The basic requirement of any 5-star island is to house 10-villagers. But villagers need great accommodation, and houses aren’t something that you can really build. Plant as many trees as you can, since that is the only thing you can erect without ever spending any real currency.
