The entire 3Rd level is covered in flowers, no were to put anything down, so no path Nice try, but that’s not it. I have another clue, but it’ll pretty much reveal the answer I reckon, so I’ll wait a while before posting it. Remember, it’s something unusual.

Posted June 6, 2020 And we have a winner, @Katie submitted the correct answer via PM! I’ll post the details shortly. Thanks to everyone that took part. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) Ok, so the unusual thing on my island is that your character will only leave footprints on the small section of beach directly south of my home, not on the rest of the beach areas! Likewise the sound of footsteps are pretty much muted when moving around on the footprint-less areas of beach! Now the reason for this is because I have covered the all of the beach (except that section near my house) with transparent floor patterns. As many of you will no doubt be aware, placing floor patterns prevents things from spawning in that particular location, which is useful for stopping weeds/fossils ect. appearing where you don't want them to. I'd been using this technique in several areas of my map already and one day thought, how about trying it on the beach. Now, why would you want to do that on the beach? I hear you ask. Well, it turns out you can use it to force all of the Manila Clams to only spawn in a certain location (in this case, directly outside my house) also increasing their rate of appearance (this was actually another potential way to solve the mystery for the competition BTW). Not only that, it makes collecting Gulliver's communicator parts super quick! Got 'em all within seconds the last time he visited. So yeah, it just started out as an experiment really, but when I noticed that it also removed footprints I decided to make a game out of it. Anyway, thanks once again to everyone who visited for this, and congratulations to Katie! You are officially the most observant Animal Crossing player on N-E!

Although I didn’t get it, I now know every inch of your island so there is that! Edited June 6, 2020 by Aneres11 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) Wow well done. I think I got seriously close with my PM'd guess, I was just searching for the quiet floor on the grass, I forgot about the beach!! Edited June 6, 2020 by Ronnie 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 6, 2020 Thanks @RedShell I would never have gotten it without your clues! I didn't realise part of your beach was different at first so I popped home to make sure I wasn't imagining it 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 6, 2020 Good fun! I liked this a lot RedShell, so will do something similar soon. I am going to hide an item in my island, have you all over at a time that suits, and the person who finds the item gets to keep it. Hide and seek, basically! Stay tuned for the deets! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) Sounded like fun @RedShell, too bad you were open while I was watching a film, or I'd have taken a look. Can someone make me a pile of zen cushions, if I send 3 over? I do not have the recipe. Edited June 6, 2020 by Sméagol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 6, 2020 Cheers @Aneres11. BTW, I said 20 birthdays left to go for the Nook Miles a minute ago, but it’s actually not. Having just unlocked the last slot I can see that it’s 20 birthdays in total. Not too bad then. I know Marina’s birthday is this month too, so that’s potentially a few more right there as she’s on mine plus some other N-E islands I believe, and you can celebrate the same animal’s birthday on multiple islands while still increasing the Nook Miles total. 9 minutes ago, Sméagol said: Sounded like fun @RedShell, too bad you were open while I was watching a film, or I'd have taken a look.

I think it was only from the fishing comp in April? It’s the rack of fishing rods? Not sure if it can be reordered with it being an event item. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 6, 2020 Does anyone have a spare Water Flooring or Underwater Wall DIY recipe that they’d be willing to trade for a Tropical Vista one? I didn’t think you were supposed to get duplicate seasonal DIY recipes before collecting the entire set first, but apparently you can. 7 minutes ago, Aneres11 said: Does anyone have the fishing rod item?

Geez, spare summer items already? I mean I got quite a few now, but no spares, and not enough summer shells to make 'm. Edit: Crap, @Aneres11, I didn't know there was a limit on the number of gifts you can send to one person (it's 2 max).. Can I bring the 3rd cushion personally later?
