So last night I caught 2 great white sharks, and today I’m supposed to go swimming....

While swimming at lunch, I spotted a shark fin between me and the shore. Immediately swam towards it expecting a quick-time event or a fainting spell like a wasp sting. Nope, fin scarpered. Humanity truly is the greatest predator.

Wait.. What... You can dig and make a pool? I'm at the very early stages... Still trying to get my KK concert organised but do you have to get a DIY recipe or something to dig a pool?

Also, how are you all swimming??

Mr E

If you updated to v1.3 (came out overnight), buy a wetsuit in Nooks Cranny and jump into the sea (anywhere).

You need 3 stars / KK concert before you can do any digging yourself.
Talk to Isobel to check your star rating.

Hannibal_Smith

Thanks Mr E.

Yeah I'm only on 2 Stars. Isabelle told me to clear up, so I did and I'm working on paying off my second incline. So I'm hoping when that's finished we'll get our concert.

I must try the wetsuits when I get the switch back off the kids

You’ve to buy a plot for them. Go to Tom Nook and ‘talk infrastructure’.

Ah I havent unlocked the campsite yet.

Once you have the terra forming stuff. You can buy a water permit and then dig a ‘pond’. Some (including my island) style them as pools but you can’t swim in them (or stop fish spawning in them).

Others use patterns to paint the ground (also available when you get the terr forming licence)

If I remember correctly, you pay for the campsite, build it.
You get a visitor and in order for them to stay you need to build them a house. The people that you meet on other islands, they'll come after a few days, but I think you have to build their houses first.

Whatever you do hold on to your clay and iron! You'll need it to build items for the houses! I sold all mine to pay for the campsite and all of a sudden there was no clay to be found anywhere :rolleyes: :pac:

If you're not getting the statue, would you mind if I popped over later to add it to my fakollection?

I'll be on here later if I'm opening the gates.

Ok. Did a little digging (while others play...)

There’s 4 types of horizontal stripe wetsuit (no sleeves, shirts);
red, yellow, blue, black

4 leaf print wetsuit (sleeves, shirts);
Light blue, purple, yellow, green

6 ‘clear’ snorkels (available at Able sisters);
Blue, yellow, red, pink, green, black

The full length suits and black/green snorkels are only available through miles

I just gave away all my iron to Timmy to build his shop!

I forgot about the shop! I was trying to gather clay for days trying to get the last house built, when I had loads of it but sold it! The iron was easier to come by.

MrsBean

I don't mean to be overly dramatic here but this swimming update is the best thing to happen to me all week!

Rhyme

I keep a small stock of iron, clay and stone that I can give away tonight if someone is stuck? I top it up after any project and sell the excess so it's just gathering dust.

tbahh

I'm opening up my island for a while. There are so many DIY's in the main square, so please take them!

EDIT: Gate closed for now, Will open again later, still over 20 DIY's up for grabs!

Princess Peach

Ribbot is crafting the beehive on my island, if anyone wants it let me know and I can open the gates.

Bells21

Gates are open, some diys on the beach. There's a knight's helmet diy in there too.

Me yesterday evening

Jolly Redd is in town with 3 fakes left, a purple street organ and a blue throwback container. Let me know if anyones wants to check and I can open.

Redd is here, got a real painting, and i have a blue koala visitor. Maybe i can lose ohare now

Raykay23 wrote: »

Redd is on my island with a Wild Pinting Left Half, Graceful Painting and a Wistful Painting. The Graceful is a fake, dont know about the others. If anyone is interested I can open up this evening?

JohnGreenFan wrote: »

Hi all, everyone's favourite cousin is here and has blessed me with not one but two real items! I've just bought the real ancient statue, and I have a real wild painting right half up for grabs if anyone is interested?

There's also a fake jolly painting and a fake academic painting.

Edit: I've also got a real dynamic painting I could give someone if they'd come over and buy the wild painting and post it back to me tomorrow? That would be great

The_B_Man wrote: »

I have Redd there now.
Is there any point in buying the fakes? Or is it best to get the real one and leave the rest?

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:


This evening: COUSIN REDD!!!

:D:D

He came back! He came back!

Dodge

Don’t think I’ll be online today to those I may have promised stuff! Sorry!

In better news apparently they’ve changed the daily visitors and Leif, Sahara and Kicks are no longer going to appear every week. They’re now in the same mix as the likes of Redd and Gulliver.

Bells21

Celeste is on my island (can open if anyone wants me to) but she isn't giving me any diys for some reason? Anyone know what's going on?
I've got shooting stars too

Yes that was it.... Brain hasn't engaged today at all! I will leave it open, will be AFK at times but work away. She's wandering in the orchard type part behind my house.

newbie18892

Celeste is here. Gates are open. Have only seen two shooting stars so far but hope there's more

holly_johnson

Love seeing my villagers interacting with each other. Was watching Filbert and Jacques have a fight earlier

Hannibal_Smith

I still have the wooden ramp leading into the water on the left handside of the island... Not sure whether it converts into something at later stages in the game. But for now, I can dive bomb off it into the ocean. It is the cutest thing!

The pier is a good spot to fish especially if you craft some fish bait. Nothing else has become of it yet.

There’s certain fish you can only catch from the pier (Mahi Mahi for example)
