Our helpful hints are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the incredible depth that Animal Crossing: New Horizons possesses. There is still a lot for you to find out on your own in the game, so be sure to keep exploring! To help you get started with the game, they will hopefully provide you with some sort of direction. The remaining steps are up to you. Many of our lives have been slowly but surely taken over by Animal Crossing: New Horizons; however, if you're at a loss as to what to do next in the game, then you should check out the tips and hints that we've outlined below in this article.

Take good care of the inventory in your pockets.

When you first begin playing New Horizons, you won't have access to very many tools, which means that the number of inventory slots in your pockets will be more than sufficient. However, as your crafting skills improve, you will notice that they expand over time. If you ever travel to other islands, you will need to make sure that you have enough empty slots to accommodate any new items that you may come across. You are in luck because any items that you drop on your own island will remain there indefinitely, making it possible for you to retrieve them at a later time or even on a different day. When you upgrade from a tent to a house, you will have the ability to store items in your house that you do not wish to carry with you at all times.

Watch out for unexpected visitors and keep an ear out for packages full of treats.

In addition to Nook, his nephews, and a couple of other settlers, you may also run into some guests who will provide you with straightforward fetch quests. It is well worth your time to seek these out on a consistent basis (some of them appear more than once), as they will always reward you with items that can be used in the home or on the body. You should also make it a point to talk to your neighbors on a regular basis. There are times when they also have items for you.

Flying packages arrive significantly more frequently, often multiple times in the same day. You will need to keep your ears peeled for them because the sound of a whooshing wind indicates that a gift box that is attached to a balloon is somewhere in the area. To deflate the balloon and send the package hurtling toward the ground below, you will need a slingshot. A word of caution: do not pop the balloon while it is floating over water. However, you will be rewarded with Nook Miles despite the fact that your package will drown.

Use your Nook Miles to travel to nearby islands.

Some resources on your own island will continue to elude you no matter how diligently you search for them or how many days pass. On the other hand, you might find better luck searching for items on islands that were generated at random. The only thing left for you to do is go to the airport after exchanging 2,000 of your Nook Miles for a ticket. There, use the Miles ticket to make a request to visit another island, and you will be transported to an island that is very similar to the one you are currently on, although it is likely to be a different size and layout. On this island, you will be able to gather new resources that you do not have on your own island.

There is no limit on the amount of time you can spend there, and a basic crafting station is provided in case you end up breaking all of your equipment. However, before going on your trip, you should empty your pockets of anything that won't be needed, as you will most likely want to fill them with new fish and insects when you get there.

You should also make sure to pick plenty of fruit from the trees there, as the types of food available to you at the beginning are likely to be different from the ones there. It is important to keep in mind that you will never be able to visit the same island twice, so it is imperative that you do not abandon anything of significance on the island.

It is also helpful to have a friend who also has Animal Crossing: New Horizons, as this allows you to visit your friend's island after you have made significant advancements in the game and acquire new items there. For instance, each island might have a different kind of fruit dangling from the trees, and if you want to bring a new kind of fruit to your own island, you could pick some of the fruit from another island and plant it there.

You should plant any fruit you find or are given.

You can use the fruit you collect from other islands to help you grow certain trees on your own island, which is one of the reasons why you should try to get as much of it as possible.

On your beach, for instance, you could cultivate palm trees that are loaded with coconuts. The only thing that needs to be done is to dig a hole, plant one of the varieties of fruit that you've collected, and approximately three days later you'll see a new, fully grown tree that is bearing the same fruit that you brought back with you.

If you want to have more of those new trees strewn about the island, you can always gather from those new trees and plant the fruit elsewhere on the island if you want to do that.

Consume fruit and don't miss a single clue if you want to level up your strength.

It's possible to unearth resources and creepy crawlies in the most unexpected of settings at times. If you smash a rock with your axe, for instance, the only way to spawn centipedes is to do so.

Be wary of insects such as spiders and wasps.

One last piece of advice before we move on: not everything on your island is adorable and welcoming. When you shake too many trees, you run the risk of disturbing a wasps' nest, which can result in a painful sting and a frantic search for medication to make you feel better.

You might be amused by tarantulas scuttling around at night, only to find that they are lunging for you and giving you an unpleasant shock. Tarantulas can also give you a nasty shock. When you come across a spider, the most important piece of advice that we can give you is to make sure that you have a net on hand.
