Don't forget to change the town tune, flag, water plants and send a few letters... that should get you closer to 100%

Won the bug competition today with some butterfly, I think I got 112 points
This is my first AC game, and I'm loving it so far.

I caught three sharks in five minutes yesterday, and they didn't seem any more skittish than the average fish.
Ouch. I haven't even encountered one of those yet, so I assume it's very rare.
Seems like you might've had a lucky combo of large size + high attraction.
I actually gave Nat a pondskater just to see what would happen and it appears that you're right; only 24 points. Apparently size and attraction just happen to really affect scores in ways that aren't quite clear, especially if you're low in one stat and high in another.
done it all
that only got me to 75%, which I was stuck at forever until one of my villagers got fleas.Pancakes R Us

Hey guys, what happened to the stuck up personality trait? I had one or two back on the GCN and Wild World. You know, the stuck up animal that think's she's the bees knees? Has it been removed or I just don't have it?
done it all
Only other things I could suggest is checking for weeds and fishing in the sea and see if there's any trash you fish out to recycle
Good luck!

I won with 120 points. Shocking.
That said, second place was 71 points. I could have lost if I didn't have a biggish beetle handy.

Okay, gate is open and people have been added. Let's go to the island.
Victory with the aforementioned 92-point Lantern Fly; 2nd place was only 49 points so apparently I had it wrapped up from the very first bug and lost 10k bells in rare bugs, rabble rabble. I suppose going for the 80-point bug was worth it for the firefly lamp.
Nat says this is going to happen again next month, so it looks like I'll need to start stockpiling rare insects. Yes, I'm just going to cheese future contests

I heard that the "bastard" will ask you nearly 8 million bells for the house, when you include all extensions ^_^
That's not so much, I've done 250k just by fishing in probably ~6h. And perfect fruits gives you quite a large amount il you sell them in a different town than yours.
I just hope I'll be a bit lucky with turnips prices in the coming weeks, that'll help...

There's gold, there's sweet ass bug furniture, and there's nothing else.
Any Euro Gaffer who likes to take me to his/her island? I would like to hunt some expensive bugs and sharks. But I don't have that much to trade for. I could bring my last pear though, the rest will grow back tomorrow
My FC = 2878 - 9809 - 6283.
Lol, that is the Dutch singer 'Zanger Bob'. Is he meme now?

I'm a veteran and this game so far has felt like a breath of fresh air.

Hit a rock and a ruby came out. Also found a "perfect" apple. No clue what to do with either. Do I just sell them?

i think they're easier to catch now.
when i see a bee's nest drop, i run directly north for a few paces until the bees are off screen, then pause to equip the bug net. when you equip the net, your character will turn around and face due south, the direction the bees are coming from. press b to unpause and then immediately hold A to ready your net. then release it when the bees come in range.

the gems can be used to mod furniture later in the game, but for now i'd say just sell em. perfect fruit sell for more money, but you can also plant them to grow a tree that has 3 perfect fruit on it, though i hear it's fragile and can die when you shake it.

Keep the gem! You use them to customize furniture with Cyrus once he awakens about 1 week after starting the game.
The perfect fruit you can plant for a perfect fruit tree which grows and sprouts only perfect fruit for 4~7 harvests. It's worth 6x the regular amount of Bells so 600 Bells in your town.
Or go sell them in another town to get 3000 Bells.
Noooooo, first you plant them to create more. If you plant perfect fruit a tree will grow out of it that gives you more perfect fruit and as you might know perfect fruit is worth more. Perfect fruit trees dry up though so you have to keep planting them.
Plant the perfect apple to grow a tree that drops, well, more perfect apples. They sell for 600 in your hometown and 3000 in other places, iirc. You can't plant perfect trees of foreign fruit, though.
As for the ruby, I think you can use it to customize your furniture later on.

I've had an oak silk moth hiding in my closet a week in advance in preparation for the Bug-Off.
Sometimes you gotta play dirty. Sorry, neighbors.

I find it really hard to explain to people why I'm having so much fun with this game.
I tell them it's about fishing and bug hunting and they look at me as if I'm mad.
