Planting and Orchard

If you manage to get yourself some fruit from another town (i.e. if your town grows cherries and somebody gives you an orange or pear) then you should plant it right away. This is a great way to make cash.

To ensure that your fruit will grow you should first chop down a native fruit tree and then plant the foreign fruit into the hole left by the old tree. Each new fruit that the tree produces will be worth 500 bells which is a heck of a lot more than the 100 bells for native fruit.

Over time this can build an orchard that is producing tens of thousands of bells each week.

Quick Money - Collect Shells

There is generally a fair amount of debris washed up along the seashore. If you are looking for a few quick bucks then head down to the beach and pick up the shells that you find there. They won't net you a ton but they will certainly help you make a little bit of quick cash:

Pearl Oyster 1200 Bells
White Scallop 450 Bells
Conch 350 Bells
Coral 250 Bells
Venus Comb 150 Bells
Dall's Top 90 Bells
Sand Dollar: 60 Bells
Porceletta: 30 Bells

Animal Crossing Wild World Guide – Catalogue Completion

To complete your Animal Crossing Wild World catalog you do not actually need to purchase the item from Tom Nook. This means that you can get many items into your catalog by simply picking them up and adding them to your inventory for a moment.

One way to do this is to visit other towns and borrow items for a brief moment from your friends. In exchange you can let them visit your town and borrow items that you own but that they are missing from their catalogue. This can allow you to order items from Tom Nook back in your own town without causing any real inconvenience to your friends.

This is one Animal Crossing Wild World hint that I truly do recommend using because it reflects the intention of the game play and encourages player interaction. Unlike many cheats it does not try to break the game or make it less fun to play.

Animal Crossing Wild World Taxi Ride

Your first taxi ride will determine several things about you in the world. So be a bit careful how you answer the questions.

Please note that all of your answers will help determine some of the specific facial features of your character. But these are more or less irrelevant in the big scheme. Play around with them a bit and you will see differences in eyes and hair.

The most important answer that you can give has to do with when Kapp'n asks why you are visiting the town. You have options of:

The beach
The Town Hall
Shopping
The Border
The Museum

Your house will be located close to whatever answer you choose. So if you want to have your house on the others side of town from everything, choose the border. If you want to be close to Tom Nook's then choose shopping.

Animal Crossing Wild World Guide – Golden Shovel

The golden shovel Animal Crossing Wild World hint can help you to get a little extra cash. Unlike a cheat it is part of the design and purpose of the game and is there for you to discover.

Getting the Golden shovel is the easiest of all the golden items in the game, and one well worth investing early on. Getting the shovel is very easy. All you need to do is buy a regular shovel and then bury it for 24 hours. Of course in order to dig it back up you will need to purchase a second shovel. However this means that you can also get a second golden shovel very easily by simply burying the second shovel that you purchased.

How does this Animal Crossing Wild World hint allow you to get extra money? Simply bury a bag of money with the golden shovel. Water the tree every day and in a few days it may grow into a money tree. This does not work every time, but when it does work you can turn 10,000 bells into 30,000 bells which is very nice.

Animal Crossing Wild World Guide – The Money Rock

This Animal Crossing Wild World hint can help you to get a little extra cash. Unlike a cheat it is part of the design and purpose of the game and is there for you to discover.

Each day one of the rocks in town becomes a money rock. This mean that instead of spawning only pill bugs when you hit them it will actually put out cash for you to pick up.

The best way to get the most out of the money rock is to dig two holes, one just above your character and one behind it. Then place yourself between the holes and hit the rock with the shovel. The holes will keep you from bouncing back too far. This is important because you only have a little bit of time before the rock runs out of money (yes it is based on time.)

Animal Crossing Wild World Cheats – Time Travel

This Animal Crossing Wild World cheat can have a negative impact on your game, but it can also allow you to get certain items more quickly and easily than playing through the game.

Time travel in wild world is accomplished by resetting the clock on your DS to the desired time. In general it is much safer to travel forward in time than it is to travel backwards in time. But beware that any form of time travel can have a negative impact on your game. Travelling more than a few hours forward allows weeds to grow etc.

In particular traveling back in time can be very detrimental, though you may find it necessary in order to get a missed item or event.

Animal Crossing Wild World Cheats – Slingshot Second Try

This Animal Crossing Wild World Cheat can only be done if you are willing to travel through time. Time travel is very dangerous because it causes turnip prices to remain low and generally has a negative impact on the game. Be careful about doing this. Like all Animal Crossing Wild World cheats, this can detract from the game play if used excessively.

If you happen to see the UFO travelling overhead but miss it with your slingshot you can get a second (or third) try at it. Simply note the time that it passed overhead and then go back in time, slingshot in hand and wait for the UFO to reappear. Going back in time is as simple as resetting the clock on your DS to the desired time. In order for this to work you first have to go back in time to the previous day and then go to the time slot the UFO appeared.

Animal Crossing Wild World Cheats – Get More Gifts From Visitors

This Animal Crossing Wild World Cheat can only be done if you have more than one character and works best if you have all four slots open. As with any other Animal Crossing Wild World cheat it may take away some of the fun if you do it a lot.

Here is how you do it. When a special character such as Wendell or Sahara is in town and offers an item in return for a favor that character will be present in town all day long. So, in order to get additional special wallpapers/carpets have each character visit that person individually. All of the characters will receive their individual rewards.
