Random: Escape From Wasps In Animal Crossing: New Horizons With A Well-Timed Party Popper

THOSE MFERS ARE GONNA DIE! This is useful.

Must give this a go.

@Yorumi I came here to say the same, its probably the easiest bug to catch on the game

This is exactly what I was going to say @Yorumi and @Carlos82 I would rather have them BELLS!

I want the Wasp for the Museum and to sell though.....

That's pretty awesome.

I feel really terrible reading these comments, as I fall prey to the wasps' wrath every single time. I had even come to the conclusion that they couldn't be caught until sifting through the comments here, lol.

Then again I'm rarely ever holding the net when I get attacked (usually happens whenever I have the axe equipped).

Woah! That was brutal!!!!

@Yorumi This is way I always have a net equipped when shacking a tree. They are easy to catch.

You even have time to use the quick menu to swap to your net and THEN catch them.

Yeah, just always have a net equipped when shaking trees and most of the time you don't even need to move. This method while funny isn't all that useful since why would you ever carry around a random party popper?

Why not just catch them with the net instead so you can at least sell them for bells?

I would only do this if you actually get Nook Miles otherwise I’ll just stick to catching them.

@Yorumi Does "from the front" mean that you see your avatar's back?

I've caught the wasps exactly once - donated to museum - but have been stung at least a dozen times despite almost always holding the net. I usually shake the trees while facing to the left since the wasps always seem to come from the other side.

I'll try shaking "up" if I can get my #NotMii to face that way, thanks.

I like this idea. Impressive!

@Yorumi Thanks, I'll try it out tonight, I got stung 2 times already today.

Man, once the Residence Services building gets constructed you see how much time, ie bells and Miles, you really need to invest in this game. Those videos of popping bridges and stairs everywhere, yeah sure, for 128,000 belles a pop. I still owe 80,000 on my 198,000 house. And it took like 5 seconds to build the first bridge, having to spend that much on other bridges is kinda ridiculous. I may never build one. Unless we charge a LOT of rent on that campsite I set up today.

Not getting stung by wasps would be a big help though.

I always just run into the nearest building. They dispersed when you get inside

I used to be bad at catching wasps. Now I don't fear them at all (not like the tarantulas...) As others have stated, just have your net already equipped, shake the trees while holding it, and you're golden.

@Yorumi Thanks for all the info.

I think I buried 2 money bags. 1 I can't remember where it was and the other is still a sapling. Like my 3 planted coconuts which apparently dont' want to be planted on grass, so I moved them on to the sand today after watching them do nothing for about 5 days. Which did open up a spot to put my campsite down.

Nook Miles have come freely, I had 28,000 this morning. Then the Residence Services Center opened and I bought a 5,000 Godzilla (yeah I know ti's not called Godzilla but it is Godzilla so...) a 5,000 tea cup saucer ride b/c we're big into amusement parks, an 800 pocket expander, and 1 or 2 other things as I was quickly down to 7,000.

But doing that top row of 5 chores is usually pretty easy until I get stuck on ones like "pop balloon", which I've only seen 2 or 3 since I bought a slingshot. Or "Redeem Miles" which I coudlnt 'do yesterday b/c of the store being built.

But those bridge and stairs prices are INSANE. How was that first bridge SO CHEAP when that same bridge is now 98,000. Why can't we just build more? So I'm kinda annoyed at that. I thought we would just learn to build stairs w/ our shovel, never dawned on me we'd have to buy each set. I may never buy any, I'd rather just keep expanding my house to display my fish.

We'll see how it goes. I'm not stopping playing, I'm a sucker for this time-wasting stuff, but my new island inhabitants may not be going anywhere up or over for months.

What a dumb article. Wasps are very easy to catch, more so than any prior Animal Crossing game, in fact. I got stung the first time (wasn't prepared), and another time when I didn't have my net equipped (though you very well can use your item wheel or pockets in a pinch), but those are lessons learned. Now I will always shake trees with a net equipped (unless I've already caught the five daily wasps). Wasps alone should net me (no pun intended ) 15,000 bells a day, so I'm not going to let that golden goose go to waste!

It's cool to know you can do it even if it's pointless.

@Yorumi I spent 30 minutes fishing today and caught a football fish, sturgeon and oarfish, but I'm not selling them b/c 2 of them leave after tomorrow and won't be back until fall.

I'm not even giving them to the museum, museum has to wait. Museum did get a koi I also caught on that trip, it's doing ok.

Spending 4 days to make enough money to build 1 bridge still seems insane when I already built a bridge in 5 minutes w/ 4 log spikes. Just give me the recipe and let me make more of those. My entire house was only 198,000, how can a bridge be almost that much?

I planted one 1,000 belle bag. Pretty sure I've never seen a 10,000 belle bag. And I think I had a money rock but accidentally broke it w/ my real axe. Which I no longer use, too dangerous.

So yeah, maybe you're right, it wont' be that expensive and won't take that long, but I just might not make any. Now that my pocket can hold 40 items what's 2 spots for an unbreakable axe and pole?

1 more day until bunny week, oddly excited for that, trying to save up money for need that huge egg arch. Game does keep itself interesting.

So blow up 2500 bells? And also additional bells to buy them party pops? Bells doesn't grow on trees ya know! Oh wait...

@Yorumi Had no idea about moving money into bags, and I'm pretty sure I NEVER would have even thought to do that. Nice tip.

You can't bury money just anywhere though right, just in gold money holes? I've tried planting money bags a few times and just get those fossil "X" on the ground.

Got the iron garden chair as hot item today, sold 3 of them so far for 12,000 bells each, as it costs 8 iron to make and I never have much iron.

Paid off my house, now Nook wants 398,000 for 1 room. I may never pay that off, but it will be good to have, I've maxed out my 120 storage.

This game is always fun for the first 2 hours in the morning every day but after that I burn out. Probably how it's meant to be played but I don't get a lot of belles that way. I'll probably visit an island tonight to grind a little.

If we had baseball I'd be watching that but we don't so... As I said to my wife last night, who doesn't understand what I see in AC - she's used to watching me play JRPGs and Tomb Raider/Uncharted - "It's the perfect pandemic game."

As this is my first real AC game I don't know much about turnips, just what I've read. I thought 40-60 was a good price to pay and they were 104 Sunday so I only bought 1 bunch of 10. Sold for 140 today so I made a little. I'll try to have more belles next Sunday. This may be cheating but do you know her hours? Sunday morning is usually big family breakfast and reading the paper, so if she's only around for an hour or 2 early in the morning I'm likely going to miss her more often than not.

Thanks again for everything.

@Yorumi The stupid rat brothers change the price during the day? Did not know that either, thanks again.

I'm still mad at them for charging a 20% drop-off box fee. I play about an hour at night after 10 and now I refuse to put anything inn that box. I would have been ok w/ a 1-5% fee, but 20% is ridiculous.

"Daisy Mae will arrive on your island every Sunday morning between 5AM - 12PM (midday)" is still a problem for me, but I just gave in and read this, one less thing to think about. Will need to grind on Saturdays I guess.

@Yorumi Nobody can just jump on AC for 5 minutes.

Any words of wisdom for dealing w/ the annoying tarantulas? Gotten bitten in the face twice tonight in a span of about 3 minutes.

@Yorumi Thanks. I tried the holding down the A button and walking slowly towards them but 1 attacked me before I could even release the button and 1 I released the button but he had already jumped past it. The tarantulas move really fast, but they jump even faster.

I did catch a dragonfly yesterday after chasing it over half the island, that was quite the workout. They are super fast, but at least they don't bite you in the face.

How you getting on w/ Bunny Day? I wrote a long comment yesterday about how I didn't like how the beginning overlapped w/ the beginning of April but besides that I'm enjoying it. Seems like people are frustrated w/ the over abundance of eggs while fishing and balloons but I'm enjoying them both, it's only 12 days.

@Yorumi I think I have 3 or 4 of the costume DIY, I only made the tan one and decided that was enough. I did make everything else though, it's been fun. Today I made a wand ot change my outfits on command. I had to dump it though b/c I always wear my sporty shades and once you put them on 1 outfit it locks them there, no mixing and matching.

In case you missed me in all my glory yesterday.

@Yorumi I was trying to make the game a little more realistic so I took off all my avatar clothes before going to bed only to start playing the next morning standing outside in my underwear so no more of that.

I was also putting my glasses on my nightstand - bamboo table - but then starting outside made me stop that. So now I just wear my Mets outfit all the time with the sporty sunglasses. Except for the day I got the Bunny Day clothes.

I still won't turn my game off though unless my character is in bed, I just can't. Maybe after a few more months.

I have finally started carrying around a DIY work station - the tree stump - to build all my broken tools. Having 40 pocket spots is nice, having no net, fishing pole or axe bothers me.

@Yorumi I'm starting to let my game become dictated by the + miles. I only do things when they come up, like customize items or sell "hot" items or sea shells or whatever it tells me to do. Then eventually it's all stuff I can't do, like catch a zebrafish and buy 5000 belles worth of stuff or odd stuff like that. I have about 32 of my originally 50 item kits left. But yeah, I customize the tools a lot b/c they are only 1 kit each, and I can, most stuff you can't.

Thanks for the tip though.
