ANIMAL CROSSING: CITY FOLK TIPS & TRICKS
Shoe Colour Change
When you go to the city you might see a skunk (Kicks). He'll clean your shoes and they will be a different colour or design.
Fishing Rod
You can get a free fishing rod from Tortimer by talking to him during the fishing contest.
Free Net
You can get a free net by talking to Tortimer during the bug catching contest.
Money Rocks
Each day there will be one rock in your town that will give you money if you hit it with a shovel. Each day it's a different rock, but when you find it just keep hitting it to get bells.
Wisp the Ghost
To find the ghost, wait until Monday Nights after all stores have closed and before 4:00 AM, go to the south-east corner of your town and you will hear a voice. Follow the voice and wisp will ask you to find his lamp for him. Go to the attic of your house and there it will be. If you do so, he will either give you a randomized gift, clear all your weeds, repaint your house, or clear your house of cockroaches.
Thanksgiving
On Thanksgiving, starting at 3 PM, the mayor will be standing outside with a table full of food. He will be giving away forks and knives to everyone, and he will also ask you to deliver some to people. When he gives you them take them and go find the Turkey person in your town, Franklin. He is starting to get that we like to eat turkeys on thanksgiving, so for every pair of utensils he will give you a harvest something.
Money Trees for sure.
First cut down a fruit tree. Then take 10,000 Bells and bury it. Make sure it grows and then every time it fruits it should make 30,000 Bells.
Double the Money Rock
If you hit the daily money rock with the silver shovel (which can be obtained by visiting Resetti's Shop), it will double the output of bells from the rock. It only doubles the sacks of bells spit out, not the single coins.
Even bigger Money Tree.
Instead of planting just 10,000 bells to get a 30,000 bell tree, plant 50,000 bells to get a tree that produces 90,000 bells every 3 to 4 days. This is the maximum amount you can get from a tree and there is just a 50% chance that the tree will start producing. Take very good care of it. And to help your chances improve, water it everyday.
Gyroid Storage Space
Speak to Brewer in the Cafe at the museum and take a cup of coffee for 200 bells. DO NOT wait for it too cool. Drink a cup of coffee EVERY day for 7 days and NEVER wait for it to cool or you will have to start over. Brewer will then open up storage space for you.
