The tarantulas are 1. inherently bothering me as I hate spiders and 2. keep fucking assassinating me still. Who turned this slider all the way up? It's bizarre. And this happens for another month?

Also wish I'd thought to shake island trees for items + wasps nests. It'd be nicer if they just dropped that stuff when you cut them down, ugh. Not the biggest deal long term, obviously, but I'd have liked to have not missed out on that stuff...

Is there a trick into catching tarantula? I've encountered two of them but they bit me when I tried to catch them and one of them was chasing me lol.
People will say that you inch towards them with your net drawn and get closer each time they let their guard down but the one time I tried this it was painfully slow and the tarantula ended up jumping in the ocean before I got close enough to catch it.

The way I managed to get one was to inch towards it with my net drawn until it charged and release the net as soon as it charged. I have only done this once so I do not know if it is consistent yet. The obvious downside is that if you fuck it up the spider gets you.

Yeah, I have better luck with approaching a bit and swiping them as they jump.

Far from perfect, but I didn't want to spend any more time on this. Worked on making the Crystal Exarch's outfit from FFXIV Shadowbringers.

Man I've now visited both my wife's island and a friends, and I like their island layouts way better. It's kinda bumming me out.

Their rivers flow way more naturally. They have a couple ponds (I have one and it's a stupid shape), and they have more "big, round areas" whereas my cliffs make everything really narrow and long. Is what it is, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I was a little jealous.

Does anyone have a royal crown I can have? If you only have one, I can duplicate it.

Bought this game on a whim; my island is lousy with peaches that look like butts. Nice.

God damn spiders... Keep popping out from trees and attacking me!
I hate spiders so much.

Anyway, guys do you know a good way to make money? I need to make 70k bells to upgrade my house...

Are things worth less when dropped off/sold at night at Nook's Cranny? A tarantula is being quoted for 6,400 when I swore I sold one for 8,000 previously

Ironically those spiders actually may be the best way to make money. IF you approach them slowly. Stop moving if they rear up and hiss, wait a few seconds and they'll calm down. Each one nets 8,000 Bells each.

Wow, I've never been so happy with a game this way, even with the quarantine situation. And it's so cool reading about your islands, guys :)

The heck? The game just stole like 34000 bells from me. Came back from an island, sold some stuff and completed the quest, went to Nook to wrap up my day by reporting in, which happened... and then my bells were at zero suddenly. :(

Feels bad.

Did you sell stuff in the box outside of the nook store? You'll get the money in the morning.

Because I'm in the southern hemisphere I see scorpions instead of tarantulas.
I've heard someone make mention of the scorpion island.
I must locate it.

Had so many visitors today, probably 12 or 13 in total in different waves, so much fun. Tomorrow is a big day for my island (Kimura) as my museum and Nook's Cranny opens! Also been doing a daily journal for my blog and that's been a ton of fun too, I am just loving this game.
