You lose 20% handling fee using the dropbox!
Wishing on stars - they make a noise, when you hear it look up with nothing in your hands and press A, next day check the beach for star parts
- be sure to clear beach of everything so they can keep respawning they don't appear all at once. maximum 20 stars when you visit someone else' island
- 20 max on own island and on islands you visit. 0 Max Star Fragments from Visitors' Wishes You get 1 Star Fragment for every 5 wishes your visitors make. A separate 20-fragment limit applies to visitors' wishes.
- https://game8.co/games/Animal-Crossing-New-Horizons/archives/284760 FYI i have never gotten her to give me fragments
- need more star fragments? note date of meteor showers and if you time travel, travel back to them they stay static
Popping balloons - they make a wind noise and happen every 5 minutes and swap start point left - right, right-left based on time of day. If you pop them over full areas or water they will glitch and disappear / get lost.
Keep grabbing everything on the beach through the day as they respawn fast and only so many stars appear at a time it seems
You want hardwood trees because they spawn cherry blossoms, furniture, coins, etc. Note they do also spawn wasps
Moving rocks - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9QXgwYnkBs
Refresh - force a refresh by going into and out of buildings (get ants etc) also causes loss of balloons etc

NPCs

Some NPCs only work on your island (CJ, Flick)
Sahara - will sell to you on other peoples' islands, and if you leave and come back she will sell again on another persons island but not your own. The PAID wallpaper and floor are fixed each island for that day, but the ticket ones are random (could be a limited set, TBD). Be careful if you do tickets first she may give you the same as if you buy with bells.
Celeste will give you a recipe each day you encounter her, on all islands (on your island or a friends). She is aware and you can't get two per day by having her on two islands. She gives each person a different recipe. She can not be tricked by leaving and coming back to a friends island even if they restart.
- Time travel - if you have Celeste on your island and get her DIY, time travel ahead a day and enter the game, time travel back to the current day with Celeste - she has a different DIY - thanks tabdido
- On your island you can only get max 40 fragments the next day
- On a friends island you can only get max 20 fragments the next day
- If your pockets are full she will NOT offer you a recipe
- She does *not* show up EVERY time there is stars, she shows up once a week maximum if weather conditions are correct
  - "Celeste appears on days with meteor shower weather patterns (if you get more than one in a week, she’ll pick a random one), and is totally separate. "https://twitter.com/_Ninji/status/1261002469666103296
Jolly Redd (Art Dealer) - you can buy once per day you encounter him, on all islands (your island or a friends). You can buy furniture as many times as you encounter him though. He can have more than one real art at a time. He will sell to other residents and visitors.

- TBD visitors
- time travel - go back in time to a day with Gulliver, do it again, get a different gift the next day

- TBD second resident
KK Slider
- On your island, the FIRST song that is requested, by anyone, by name (exact match only) you'll get it free! https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/K.K._Slider_song_list_(New_Horizons) must match exactly.
