Animal Crossing New Horizons Guide | How To Get Bells Early

Earning Nook Miles is more important than earning Bells when you're trying to repay your initial debt to Tom Nook, although you can still accomplish both if you want to. Just playing the game is enough to complete several of the first Nook Miles challenges.

Pull Weeds

When you first start out in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and don't have much time to fish, growing weeds might be a lucrative alternative. Dot a few large ones with dandelions to encourage the growth of additional weeds in their vicinity.

Sell Crafted Items

Please cease selling Tommy any more wood, weeds, or branches from trees. Making and selling many goods at once will probably double or even triple your Bell earnings. As an example, a pound of weeds can fetch ten bells. Gather a few of them, transform them into the Leaf umbrella, and you'll have 300 per umbrella! It doesn't utilize any tools that cost resources to create, and it's twice as effective as the umbrella, which requires a cluster of fifteen weeds. It's a win-win situation in every way.

Find Lucky Money Rock

Every day, when you hit one of your island's six rocks, instead of other resources, it will drop Bells. You can earn up to 16,400 Bells if you strike eight times. It may be out of reach across the river or on elevated ground for the first several days, but eventually, you'll learn to discover it. You will be able to explore every inch of your island once you obtain the necessary gear.

Look For Gifts in The Sky

If you have a slingshot, always try to shoot down balloon presents. They can give you anything from clothes to furnishings, new produce, DIY recipes, and somewhere between 10,000 and 30,000 Bells. A higher-pitched wind sound indicates that a balloon is close. You may also notice a shadow on the ground.

Get Gifts from Mom

The occasional non-native fruit will be mailed to you by Mom. Hold on to it! Planting them instead will result in additional fruit trees, which you can then sell for 500 Bells each, allowing you to earn a steady income of Bells for fruit.

Catch Fish Alot

Make every effort to fish. You can learn how to make Fish Bait by digging up a manila clam on the beach. Once you have it, you can use it to call upon fish in lakes or the ocean. If you go to beaches and look for tiny holes that periodically spit water, you could just locate a manila clam. Rare ocean fish can be found fishing in the rain and sold for 10,000 Bells or more.

Look For Sea Creatures

Wearing the swimsuit will allow you to navigate your island's waterways after you have it. Sea creatures are represented by the rising bubbles here. These are hybrids of Bugs and Fish, having the same appealing appearance as Bugs but selling for the same price as Fish! You can obtain a lot of Bells with them, so that's a plus.

Save Your Island Trip Tickets

Put the 2,000 Nook Miles worth of free tickets to the Deserted Island that Tom Nook gave you to good use right now. Hold off until you've redeemed your Nook Miles for the Pocket Organization Guide and gained access to the extra pocket space.

Plant A Money Tree

Hold off on sealing the hole or spending the money until you've retrieved a bag of Bells from the glowing place in the ground. Alternatively, you can choose to grow a money tree by planting the bag of Bells that you found. Alternatively, you can plant a money tree with a higher worth of up to $10,000 that you've saved up if you choose.
