I essentially took it a bit easier. Partially because I had been up for over 24 hours by the time the day rolled over at 5AM, but mainly because I worked so hard preparing on Day 1, there wasn’t much I HAD to do. Most of what I wanted to do either involved running around on semi-outdated information ooor just luck which is a bit frustrating, but lets start with the things that actually went somewhat well with the game itself progressing after everything I finished yesterday.
I headed over to Tom Nook’s tent for an update to see he and Timmy in deep conversation.
Timmy wanted us to build him a store and needed 30 of each type of wood plus 30 Iron Ore. This was… not a good feeling, honestly, because that is a lot of materials and I still had been struggling quite a bit. I also accidentally destroyed some of my rocks (I forgot eating fruit can be used to break them as well as lift trees and had wanted to have a stock full thinking I had more control when I could use it… and at the time, I had no way to reset them and didn’t think of just picking up a tree and putting it back down) and thus, iron was not something I had much of. And considering we needed these materials for many other things, it was really frustrating needing to give up an entire stack of each.
This may be the case for some people, but certainly not for me.
Regardless, what I COULD get done was continuing my house loan goal of paying it off every day:
Most excitingly, Blathers was here and I had quite a lot to give him.
I may have been a bit TOO prepared though as I still had quite a lot left for him.
With the sadness of continuing to have an army of random sea creatures and insects outside my house, I continued forward and got revenge from yesterday’s mishaps by catching a Wasp:
Something I never really expected is this game has probably been the best I’ve been at catching them. Or maybe I just found a good strategy of dealing with them.
I also found my first golden spot. I wish we could still get a golden shovel from them.
Regardless, it was back to work and to my surprise, Teddy and Mira actually tried to help out with the shop project.
As a side note, I feel like this game could have so many really pretty wallpapers. The sky is especially lovely.
Anyway, thanks to Blathers showing up, even if I wasn’t able to give him everything, he DID give me two very important recipes– the pole and the shovel so I could dig up fossils, but also so I could see the rest of my island. I also finally got to find one of my waterfalls.
When picking my island, I mainly focused on things I knew I would be unable to change since I knew Terraforming is a thing eventually. I just really underestimated how long it’d be, but also it kind of kills me that I just have two barely able to be seen side-set waterfalls while so many people I know not only have lovely frontal waterfalls, often two-story ones and multiples. I think for what I’m hoping to do, my island is a great starting place, but right now, it still feels kind of hard to deal with.
Like I helped out Blathers, I made sure to help out Timmy the same day too and got Nook’s Cranny all ready to go along with all the materials.
And with the airport now open, I was finally able to take a flight to some of the Nook Miles Islands.
I also spent some time in my husband’s town.
One day I’ll have amazing waterfalls too.
A big surprise was running into Wisp as the day came to an end.
It took a while, but I eventually found his spirits.
I hope so too, Wisp.
