Hey, AC fans!
I've recently bought a New Nintendo 3Ds XL and New Leaf and I honestly don't know what to do in this game. The beginning feels like a tutorial and I've learned bunch of stuff but one of the main reasons I wanted AC was the online gaming. But it as it turned out, I would need friends in my Nintendo list who actually play that game to enjoy some online fun? I don't have any friends who play that game.
Please help me to understand all this.

Just found out how to add.

You seem to have figured it out, but first step is exchanging friend codes with people. Once you do that, either you or your friends can go to the station at the top of your town and talk to Porter the monkey, and he can open the town gates so people can visit. There's also an island you get access to where you can go online with random people in your region or other regions. There's not a ton to do there, but you can catch bugs/fish and also play some minigames. There's also an island that's specific to you, and you and your friends can go there and do the same.
I'm kinda new to Animal Crossing and woke up today excited to buy some turnips to sell on the Stalk Market. However, I only just noticed that the 3DS didn't automatically update the internal clock an hour forward.
I've never 'time travelled' in the game, but I have heard that doing so can cause your turnips to spoil. I don't want to do this by mistake!
Is there a way to adjust for the clocks moving forward today without spoiling my turnips, or should I just wait until I sell them/next week to make a time change?

Technically as long as you don't pass the week-changeover point, you can time travel forwards. But not backwards even one minute lol, been there, spoiled millions of bells worth of turnips. But I can't recall if the changeover is Saturday night or Sunday night, so safest to wait.

Is anyone willing to sell cabana set pieces? I have exactly zero right now. Love the set, but I hate the island minigames. I thought Club Tortimer would help with that, but people don't seem to want to pair up to make medals fast, just troll.
Name your price, and I'll get back to you after some necessary island beetle grinding. ^^

If you do decide to play more of the minigames, I'd recommend the elite scavenger one. Really easy, quick, and you get a lot of medals. I think that was the one I did the most of when I was going for the items/badges.

Thanks, I'll give that a try, although not sure if I've unlocked it yet. Just got back from another try at Club Tortimer, and my partner was great. Got 40 medals and the cabana bed! But one of the tours we did awarded only two medals, ugh.

I have seen Gracie literally ONCE in my 50+ hours of play.
Is there ANYTHING I can do to increase the appearance rate?
I want that goddamn Emporium.
I typically only have time to play at night, post 6 PM, special characters are in the plaza all day though right?

Iirc gracie leaves at five. You'll need to adjust your clock so you can have daytime play as well as night.
Never realized it was that early. Crazy.

I wanted to play without touching the system clock
And I'd like a solid gold toilet, but some things just aren't in the cards, baby.
Seriously though, changing the clock once to allow you to play optimally on your own schedule doesn't count as time traveling. You get a free pass on it.
AHappyPanda

True dat.
Any negative effects to be cautious of?
Honestly, I'd be playing within the same day in the game, just a few hours early...so instead of being able to play at say 7 PM in real life, I'd just change the clock to Noon or whatever.
weemadarthur

No negative effects if you have no turnips.
Using the system clock won't get the villagers to call you a time traveler as a rumor. Just when you have Isabelle change it.
I had an issue one time when I had to adjust my system clock, and it was the end of the month, and I changed the date to 1 but forgot to advance the month. Luckily it didn't screw me over, but it's something to keep in mind.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for this. After grinding this tour, I've been able to get all but about three pieces of the Cabana series. Now it's down to grinding boat rides to find islands that have what I'm missing (radio, wall, table). That part is taking even longer than the medal grind!

I had a Gracie visit yesterday, and it was well after 9pm when I signed on. So I think she's there long after five pm, although I didn't see how late she actually stayed.
weemadarthur
Member
Then there's something else about five o'clock.
Oh yeah! Mail delivery!
If she asks you for a style you don't keep on hand, you need time to order the stuff. Or if you have alts, one of them might get an easier style and you can pass.
Sorry for confusion there.
Although I still think it's important to have some daytime play. There are things that can be missed.

It took a fairly long time for me as well. It sucks but you just have to cross your fingers and hope for the best

That's great. I was talking about Gracie though
Why you gotta pull me down in my greatest moment bruh.
Gracie...I don't even know what else to do. Maybe she comes out more often in the Spring? IDK...
You're dangerously close to turning into AnUnhappyPanda.
There's nothing you can do really. Just keep playing and eventually she'll turn up again.
uurgh I think I messed up.
For some reason beyond me my 3DS had its date reset, I don't know how or why, but it was stuck in 1/1/2015. I notice it and change it, but I did it wrong, because the stupid thing decided to use the insane month/day/year format instead of the normal day/month/year format, which means that I probably timed travel and now I won't hear the end of it from my neighbors D:
I really really didn't want to time travel

Niraj holding down the fort!!
Was popping in to say... I like how there's a little old school NL reunion happening in Miitomo for us. Now I wonder when we can get AC gear for our Miis.
I should stop in here more often again. Just for the few people that come in.

Does fruit only rot when you keep it in your pockets?

I'm learning so many dark secrets about all of you.
I'd be surprised if there weren't Isabelle outfits offered at least. Maybe a theme too.
No clue. Only rotten fruit I've had is from busted perfect fruit trees. That could be because I have beautiful town on though.
and mantidor, not ignoring you, but I haven't time traveled so can't comment :/ sorry
For some reason I totally misread his post and thought he was worried about a villager moving. I might be dying.

So...Gracie finally showed up...and of course I didn't have the proper clothes and the sisters weren't selling the necessary clothes either.
Do people just buy a bunch of clothes then stash it away in their wardrobe until Gracie shows up so they can throw on the proper outfit?

You could do that. Historically people either ordered from their catalog or asked in these threads for help.

Oh damn, I forgot about the catalog. TY.
That is awesome.Loved this.
