Introduction 1.00
--------
Hello to the readers of this FAQ. Its my first one so be patient with me. If I miss
anything or you have a different type of money making skill, Ill be happy to read this if
you email me at al.xeo@hotmail.com.
Anyway, this guide is how to make money (without cheating maybe) in the game of Animal
Crossing. Animal Crossing Wild world is on going game so you can play till youre dead,
although I doubt anyone is going to play it that long, but that doesnt matter. You start
off with Kappn asking you questions and you simply answer them to determine your
characters looks, but I dont care about this, this a money making FAQ. Onto the Money
making scheme!

Walkthrough 3.00

Fruit 3.01
Fruit I would say is one of the most easiest way to get money. Of course, this would only
apply to non native fruit. If you dont have a non native fruit, you can easily be supplied
with one. The most straightforward way to get it is to go to someone elses town and get
one of theirs. Another way to get a non native fruit is to send a letter to one of your
animal neighbours and attach a piece of fruit to it. They will always send a letter back
(If the letter was in plain English.) with sometimes another piece of fruit which most
likely is not native to your town. As soon as you get this fruit, bury it somewhere and
hope it grows into a tree. If you want to make sure that the tree will grow into a tree,
chop down a different tree, and use a shovel to shovel out the stump. Next, bury the piece
of fruit in the exact same spot and the fruit which was buried will always turn into a
tree. When the sapling grows into a tree, (4 days) take out the fruit and bury the fruit
somewhere else. Repeat this process until you have loads of trees and then on harvest day,
harvest them all and youll get loads of money. If you have enough trees, you can get
100,000+ in a day!
Heres a list of the fruit Ive found out so far:
Pear
Apple
Cherry
Coconut Note: Find coconuts on the beach at random times.
Orange
Peach
Also for coconuts, to grow them, they must be 1 square above the sand on the beach. Not on
the sand or 2 squares above the sand, but 1 square above the beach.
Fish 3.02
Fishing can be very annoying at times trying to get the right position for the bait to
take its place, but at the end of the day, it can be quite rewarding. If you want to get a
lot of money in one batch of fish, only take fish that are worth more than 1000 bells.
Also, fish come out at different times of the day so dont expect to see a rare fish you
caught at night to be there in the morning. Fish also come out depending on the weather
and time of the year. To find out all this information, heres a graph in alphabetical
order:

As you can see, bugs dont make as much money as fish. Bugs are just too rare to find and
they give you a low amount of bells for selling them. My advice, dont waste your time
trying to find bugs.
Fossils 3.04
Youre probably thinking, how do fossils get me money. Well, surprisingly, Tom Nook will
buy them. To obtain fossils, firstly have a shovel. Everyday, there will be three green
star things in the grass or dirt spread around your town. Some of these give you robot
things, (You can put them in your house, but I dont think they give many points.)some give
you pitfall trap seeds and some of them are fossils! To sell the fossils, have them
checked with Blathers.

Fossils are an alright source of money, but dont let it be your first. Like I said, there
are only three of the stars and they may not be all fossils.
Flea Market 3.05
The flea market comes around the first Saturday each month. This is  a good way to sell
the things you dont need, and to buy some of your neighbours furniture. This time, there
is no table. (Phew..) All Im going to say is that this is a good day to make some money
and buy some new furniture. Also, you should note how much you bought things for. That
way, you can make sure that youre getting some profit.
Turnips 3.06
Turnips are a good source of money. Every Sunday, Joan, a turnip seller, comes around
selling turnips. There are the white ones and there are the red ones. Ill explain the red
turnips first. Buy the red turnips for 1000 bells and then plant it near your house. Water
it everyday until Saturday, and then shovel it out. Next, sell it to Tom Nook for an
astounding 16,000 bells which gives you 15,000 bells profit. This may seem good, but Joan
can only sell one bag of red turnips each week and you can easily get that 16,000 bells in
a day. Dont depend on this money source too much or you will have very little money during
game play. Now for the white turnips. The white turnips are the stock market. Sometimes
its good, sometimes its bad. If you want to know the price of the turnips, ask Tom Nook
what price he will pay for the turnips. I think it can go as high as 600 bells each. Joan
has an unlimited supply of white turnips, so buy all you want. The bad thing about this is
that the turnips go bad in one week. Also, Tom Nook changes his price against turnips
after noon so check after noon. If you dont want to cheat, Sell them on the last day
(Saturday), but if you do want to cheat, use this.
The Table Trick.
If you want to keep your turnips fresh until you get a high price for each turnip, follow
these steps.
1.    Go into your house and go to your table.
2.    Put something on the ground in front of the table.
3.    Store all your turnips on the table.
4.    You can store up to 99 turnips in one space. I think.
5.    On the day it has good pay, take the turnips and sell them to Tom Nook.
White turnips are a great way to get money, so play around with the stalk market.
Shells 3.07
Shells appear on the beach everyday and they take some time to reappear and they give you
little money, but, if you need cash quick, shells are your answer. Heres a list of them.
Name    Value
Conch    350
Coral    250
Dalls Top    90
Pearl Oyster    1200
Porceletta    30
Sand Dollar    60
Scallop    600
Venus Comb    150
White Scallop    450
Not a very good money source, but an easy way to get quick money.
Animal Hobbies 3.08
Animal hobbies are like the name suggests, animal hobbies. Fulfilling a hobby will get you
around 500 bells so its probably not worth it. To find out about a animal hobby, talk to a
specific animal and they may say something like they want pink furniture or something like
that. You can fulfill these if you want, but dont go over 500 bells. This wont get you
that much money since you have to buy something, so dont depend on this. Fulfilling an
animal hobby may also get you a piece of furniture.
Animal Deliveries 3.09
This is simple. Just talk to an animal and they may ask you if you could give something to
someone for them. After they tell you what to deliver and who to, they give you a time
limit. You must finish the task on time and not open the package/ letter to get a reward.
It is either bells or furniture. Again, dont depend on this money source.
Interest 3.10
Interest is what it sounds. Every month, you get some money depending on the amount of
money you have in your bank account. If you want to cheat, set the time ahead 99 years, go
to your mailbox, take the money and repeat. Again, dont depend on this unless you want to
cheat.
Lyle 3.11
Lyle appears around your house every Saturday. On the first Saturday, if you answer his
questions, he will make you buy health insurance for 1000 bells so everytime you get stung
by a bee, you get 100 bells. The next type of insurance is Damage insurance. I think its
5000 bells and everytime you buy a fake item (Only from Crazy Redds) you get some money.
End of this subject
Hints 4.00
These are some hints about the game Animal Crossing. These may sound like cheats, but they
were made by the game so its not really cheats.
Magic Rock 4.01
Everyday, there is a magic rock which has money in it. To get this money, you have to hit
the rock with a shovel. Simply go around banging each rock, but there is a problem. Each
time you hit the rock with a shovel, you get pushed back. To avoid this, stand diagonally
to the rock and dig 2 holes around you. Heres a diagram
11111111
11111111
11111111
555 888        1=Rock
555 888        5=You
555 888        8=Hole
888
888
888
The amount of money you can get is in this order:
1st hit= 100 bells
2nd hit= 200 bells
3rd hit= 400 bells
4th hit= 800 bells
5th hit= 1000 bells
6th hit= 2000 bells
7th hit= 4000 bells
8th hit= 8000 bells
And this is all can hit it. Email me if you can hit at least one more time than me.
Money trees 4.02
Nobody tells you about the magic rock, but one of your animal neighbours should tell you
about this. This trick is simple. Have no equipment equipped and go around shaking trees
with no fruit growing on them and eventually, you will find 100 bells. Not a very good
source of money. Sometimes when you shake the trees, a beehive will fall out and the bees
in there will try to sting you. You have two choices at that point. Either get your net
out quickly and catch the bees, or run to the nearest house and get inside. You cannot
outrun the bees sadly. If you get stung you have another 2 choices. Either save the game
and then open your game up again, or buy some medicine and use it on yourself.
Actual money trees 4.03
This is a money tree which you can grow to get 3 times more money than how much you
planted. First you will need the golden shovel. Next, make a hole in the ground and bury
an amount of money in there. You can bury as much money as you want, but the limit of
money you will get from the tree is 30,000 bells each picking. So for example you bury
50,000 bells in the ground. If the tree grows, you will get a total of 90,000 bells
altogether because the limit for each picking is 30,000. Also just because you chop down a
tree and plant it in the exact same spot, doesnt mean its always going to grow. Also,
money trees wont regenerate money again.
Other things 5.00
I know this guide is about making money, but why not putting some other things in here.
Here they are.
Golden tools 5.01
Golden tools as the name suggests, are tools that are golden. These tools are obviously
better than ordinary ones, but they may take some time to acquire. Heres a list of what
you need to do.
Golden Axe
Getting the golden axe is the hardest to do I would say. I cant really be stuffed typing
all the situations, so Ill just write how to get the golden axe directly.
Start by purchasing a Red Turnip from Joan. Trade it to Wendel for a Turban or Country
Guitar when he appears in town. If Wendel gave you a Turban, trade it to Sahara for a
Massage Chair or Red Vase when she comes to town. If Sahara gave you a Massage Chair,
trade it to Tortimer on the next holiday to get the Scallop Seashell. Give the Scallop
Seashell to Pascal to get the Golden Axe.
Golden Bug Net
Catch one of each type of bug to get the Golden Bug Net.
Golden Fishing Rod
Catch one of each type of fish to get the Golden Fishing Rod.
Golden Shovel
Bury a regular shovel in the ground. When dug up after 24 hours, it will be a Golden
Shovel.
Golden Slingshot
Shoot fifteen items out of the sky and a Golden Slingshot will appear in the sky. Shoot it
down to collect it.
Golden Timer
Get the Golden Axe, Golden Bug Net, Golden Fishing Rod, Golden Shovel, Golden Slingshot,
and Golden Watering Can. Then, Tortimer will give you the Golden Timer.
Golden Watering Can
Keep the environment perfect for sixteen consecutive days to get a Golden Watering Can
from Pelly or Phyllis.
Snowmen 5.02
You can only make Snowmen when it is Winter. If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, you
can only make it in Summer. To make a snowman, find two snowballs around the place. You
can either chose to make one for fun or to make it perfect. Making it perfect allows you
to get some rare furniture in the mail. Firstly, kick a snowball around until its in the
state where you can push it around with your arms. Keep rolling it on the snow until its
as big as it can be. Next find the other one. Do the same thing, but when its height is at
your nose, push it on top of the bigger snowball. The snowman will say something and if he
is perfect, he will say so. A bit later, you should get a letter with a present attach to
it.
Balloons 5.03
Sometimes when you are outside, you will hear the wind . This means that a balloon with a
present is passing by. Get out your slingshot and try to shoot it down. I think you get
some money or some furniture. Im not sure. If you know the full list of the things you can
get from shooting balloons, please email me.
K.K slider 5.04
