[Neuromancer]

Yes you can, even while sitting and swimming (not while sleeping though). If you use them in front of a villager they'll even react to it.

Oh that's awesome. I need to start doing this stuff.

Third swim and now Pashmina wanted to change her catchphrase. I better stop doing this before I start yelling at my 3DS. I think it's utter bullshit how you need to get public works. I'm sitting on millions and I have nothing to build while I see so many awesome stuff around me in your towns. How it can be that in 18 days of playing I've only been suggested a modern bridge and some fucking stadium lights?

I walked around today looking for the boar and an villager ran up to me and suggested the police station.

However, I want the museum shop dammit!

 

[Boss Doggie]

How long til turnips rot?

Also anyone got the town tune for the Animal Crossing theme in Wild World/City Folk?

 

[dantehemi]

^ 1 week

Funny you asked cause I just met the turnip lady for the first time right now and she was explaining the rules to me. It seems like turnips you buy today will last till next Sunday.

Fixed suggestions like the museum shop and the dreamsuite I do have. But now these random suggestions please. I'd love a police station. Or a windturbine. Or a big screen. Etc. Etc. Etc.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Wow Nintendo; not only is one of my villagers splashing in puddles during a thunderstorm, Joan is meandering underneath TREES.

Usually takes me about an hour each day of the diving trick to trigger a public works request. So far I've had 6 or 7 requests, all of which are horrible, ugly trash that I'd never place in my town.

Museum shop is suggested by Blathers after 14 days of talking/donations.

I usually swim for five minutes, then get out and walk past everyone. Everytime they ran up to me for random bullshit.

But you so if I keep trying for 45 minutes more a villager will eventually give me something usefull? It still seems like a lot of time for not even knowing what you get in the end. There must have been a better way to implement public works in this game.

Also; been watching the threads at Gamefaqs a bit for some trades. People are quite crazy over there, offering 99K tips to use someone's Shampoodle :/

 

[Lord Helmet]

There is. Villagers can pick them up for example (or so I've read).

Also, does anyone have turnips for sale in their town at a reasonable price? Joan is selling them here in my town for 106. I'd love to buy some. FC: 1821-9832-6293

Also found duplicate fossils for first time - I'll have to sit down and trade them later (styraco skull/ankylo tail)

Aces, Joan is selling them for 91 each in my town. FC is in profile and Turnip-GAF. If you have any persimmons, I'd love a couple if you don't mind.

Yeah, it's entirely random what they run up to you about and they can only request 1 public work project per day so it is just a case of repeating the trick until they finally request something. Could take 10 mins, could take 3 hours. And nope, sadly there is no better way, it is just a really poorly implemented system.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Got my museum shop! And forgot to buy turnips this morning, ah well.

Oh and CLUB LOL OPENED When does it actually open? Says "CLOSED" whenever I go to the door.

 

[Lexxism]

I just bought my 26k pcs of turnips. Heeeeeelpppppp gaf

Man, you must have been busy. That's like 24 times of walking back and forth between your locker and Joan :lol

And now you need to visit someone twice to unload all of these. But the profit will be nice

The game is supposed to last a year if not more, and played in moderate doses every day from what I gather. I think people are really rushing and trying to unlock as much as they can as fast as they can with it and as far as I can gather that's not really the point.

Just my opinion. I don't think it's poorly implemented and I haven't really been fussed about it. I'm content taking my time with this. If I'm still unlocking stuff in a year's time that will be fantastic.

But only having two suggestions (there are tons of public works) in 18 days can't be the idea either. I don't have the time to keep playing hours a day in the hope some villager will finally suggest me something. It would have been better if they went with a system that would guerantee you one every x number of days. Now it's so random that I'm a bit tired of even trying.

I play much less than anyone here (Probably an hour or two a day on average) and I've definitely had much more than two suggestions in 18 days. I don't even try to get them, and I don't think that's the point or what you're supposed to be doing. You're trying to rush something that isn't supposed to be. My two cents, anyway.

 

[MindCollizion]

until what time does Joan stay in your town selling turnips ?

 

[Lexxism]

Yeah. I'm also planning to add another 5-10k since my 2nd batch will only have 6k of turnips.

 

[SmithnCo]

Yay, got the suggestion for the cafe from Blathers.

 

[Linius]

6am till noon.

Yeah. I'm also planning to add another 5-10k since my 2nd batch will only have 6k of turnips.

Lol, my total amount of turnips for this week is 5K

 

[IrishNinja]

yup, lockers B & C all full of turnips now. thought about A but ive too much junk in there...now to wait & see who gets $450+ first!

also are you guys sure red the art dude shows up once a week by town square? didnt see him at all in the last week, and i need a painting for blathers to want to expand!

so that's it, then? swim/dive/etc for 5 minutes, come back & walk around till they "!" at you? should i not be talking to them in between?

so far i only have a windmill, hoping for more suggestions soon but i sleep mostly when these guys are up.

Oh shit. Able Sisters under construction? Incoming Shampoodle?

 

[Astral/H3X]

400000 of bells into 99Bell turnips. Aw yeah.

That said, you better catch me before I fall, GAF. D;

Yeah I know I made all that last night anyway. :x

Does it really matter if you pay it off now? It won't be built until tomorrow whether you pay it now or pay it tonight.

I think that's right indeed. I believe public works 'open up' at 6am in the morning after the day you've paid.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I've purchased 30 turnips so far today, and I plan to buy some more after Re-Tail opens. I have a ton of fireflies to sell, as well as a couple of ores.

Oh, and Deirdre is moving in tomorrow. It'll be good to see a new face.

 

[Dug]

Yeah, I think I'll just wait. This is the last day to catch certain bugs and fish, I'll go hunt for those.

 

[Linius]

Seriously, don't sell your ores yet. You can use to modify furniture and you'll only find one a day. So it will take some time to have a bunch of them in the same colour to match a furniture set.

Considering villager requests reset if you go inside buildings, go into the town area or even go within line of sight of a villager inside 5 mins, yes it is a very poorly implemented system. Public works requests should not be random chance with very poor odds of occurring, nor should they be completely random unlocks with certain ones also tied to specific villager personality types.

The major sticking point is the Police Station, it was basic functionality in previous Animal Crossing games and yet has been locked behind the public works wall and requires dumb luck to unlock. The lighthouse, while never being functional, was also a landmark from previous games and is now a public work. I couldn't care less if it takes me 6 months to obtain a slightly different design for my street lights, but I would care if I still didn't have the Police Station in 3 or 4 months.

You can ask for a GAFLoan

 

[celebi23]

So, Joan is selling Turnips for 107 bells/each. Is that a decent price? I never really got into the whole turnip thing during the Gamecube or DS versions.

It's almost the highest price you can get, it's between 90 and 110.

 

[Diablos54]

How do you get a diving suit? I've only used one on the Island...

Turnip buyer's lament

 

[Linius]

Old Gran on the island will sell them from time to time. They cost a big sum of medals so have some ready. I believe I paid 60 medals for mine.

 

[Koren]

Museum shop is suggested by Blathers after 14 days of talking/donations.

Don't know if there's a required time, but as far as I know, you need an item in each of the room, so at least an artwork... Got the suggestion just after donating my first painting.

 

[Diablos54]

Ah okay thanks, haven't spent any medals yet so that's a good start.

 

[Coquette]

I believe it is time based.

Seriously, don't sell your ores yet. You can use to modify furniture and you'll only find one a day. So it will take some time to have a bunch of them in the same colour to match a furniture set.

Very well, but I'm not sure if I want custom furniture.

 

[Linius]

I believe it is time based.

Yeah, one piece of art in each section, 14 days since being mayor and 20 donations in total. If you have met all these requirements you can only wait for Blathers to be in a thinking mood. Which is usually pretty soon after.

Very well, but I'm not sure if I want custom furniture.

You should do whatever you like of course, but in case you didn't know a heads up about the use of them. If you really want bells for them you can also try to offer them to real people on the internet. People usually pay more bells than retail because it takes some time to get enough ores of the colour you're after by your self. Especially gold ores go for quite some bells. I've seen people at Gamefaqs selling these for 100K+ a piece.

 

[GAMERG0D]

Damn, Drift asked me to catch him a butterfly so I gave him a rare one and he gave me a turntable. He also continuously plants flowers outside my house, best villager.

 

[rpmurphy]

What color did you get that costs 60? All of mine have been 40.

 

[Coquette]

Very well, but I'm not sure if I want custom furniture.

You can have it modified and if you don't like it, Cyrus can return it to the original state.
