Jingle is a reindeer wearing a Santa outfit who will appear in your town on Dec 24th. He
usually only gives out one piece of the Jingle furniture, players can trick him by
changing their accessory in order to receive more. The Jingle furniture sells for 12,240
bells each.
Also during the winter, if you make a perfect snowman you will get a piece of the Snowman
furniture (you also can get a snowman which is part of the Snow set). The snowman
furniture sells for 8,888 bells each.
You also can go to Bunny Day to dig up all the eggs (if you have more than one player in
your town they have their own eggs) and give the tin foil to Zipper T to get the Egg
furniture, which sells for 9,000 bells.
If you save the candy you can go to Halloween to make even more money. You need to find
Jack, the one who doesn't chase you, and give him candy. In return he will give you Spooky
furniture that sells for 10,310 bells.
During Thanksgiving, you can get a fork and knife from Tortimer and give it to Franklin,
who hides behind signs, houses and trees. Franklin will give you the Harvest furniture,
which sells for 3,333 bells each (1,200 for the wallpaper and flooring).
During the month of November, there are five hidden mushrooms in your town each day. There
are four mushrooms found at the base of trees. The other is actually a piece of Mushroom
furniture. They sell from 1,800 bells to 3,000 bells (excluding the wallpaper and
flooring). But there is the additional rare mushroom, which is buried like a fossil, and
will stay hidden until you find it, that sells for 16,000 bells.
On February 15th, there is a Festivale where you can get four pieces of candy, a certain
color each time, and give it to Pav for some Pav furniture which sells for 12,000 bells
each (1,800 bells for the flooring and wallpaper). Go here to find out how to get candy
from villagers.
Best Way to Make Money
There is a bank at the town hall. Money deposited will earn 0.5% per month (6% per yr).
One has to deposit bells in one month and start playing in a latter month to receive
interest. A letter will be sent telling the amount of interest earned up to the maximum
allowed: 99,999 bells. The interest is calculated for one month and multiplied by the
number of months since last time playing. When one month interest is calculated the
program truncates the amount to nearest integer (no rounding of the fractional part).
Note: this kind of time traveling will result in huge numbers of weeds!
It takes about 5 minutes to advance two times.
Trick: Time travel from the last day of one month to the first day of the next month -
result one month interest. Even trickier is to set the date to first day of month. Set
time to 5:59 AM start game and wait for clock to go past 6 AM (new day in game). Trees
will advance one day, weeds will grow and interest will be deposited. Then save and reset
Wii clock to 5:59 AM and repeat. After ten times you will need to advance the time to
receive and empty your mailbox.
If you have less than 3 million in the bank then it is better to plant lots of foreign
fruit. 1.5 million pays 7,500 bells for one month interest and that is the same as one
load of foreign fruit.
