Ryan's AC Adventure - Day 02 - Fishing!

Lot's of new things happened today, the second day in Hyrule (which I stared at 6pm until 7, then 8 until 9:30).

I got a letter from the Museum, telling me I could send in fossils to be analyzed. This is a good thing, so now I get to send off those 5 letters/fossils I got on the first day. In addition I found the 5 new fossils for today and also sent them off. Fossils are great. I get to either look at them in the museum or sell off ones I already have for a quick buck. Not a bad setup really. I also donated a lot of fish to the museum today since I got my first fishing rod. I gave away about 10 to 15 different species of fish and sold the repeats. I will talk more about fishing later.

I buy and sell a lot of things. Everyday I buy every new item in the store that I have not bought before so that it will go into my catalog and so I will get a raffle ticket for the end of the month drawing. By doing this, if there is a certain house theme that I want to do later and there are certain items I need, there is a better chance that they will be in my catalog and I can order them then. As well when you buy and then sell something, the item becomes worth 1/4 of its original cost. Not great, but at least it is some money back in my wallet.

On the note of decorating the house, there is a thing called the HRA, the Happy Room Association (I think). This group gives you points that do not really mean anything based on how stylish and well set up your room is based on themes, certain rare furniture items, and feng shui. How fun. I am aiming for the playhouse theme right now, but that could easily change.

Speaking of my place, I got my upgrade today. My place is a little bit bigger and it can now hold more stuff. On top of that I have a new bill to pay of.. well I already paid it off actually. It was 148,000 Bells, and I paid it off through the lucrative money-making scheme of fishing.

Fishing is a great way to make money, and though I do not agree with fishing in real life, this is just too profitable to pass up. On that note, if I got paid big bucks to fish in real life, I probably would.

Certain fish are easy to find. Some fish are pretty hard to find. Those fish are worth a lot of money. A lot of money. I look for those fish. There are fish like the carp and the bass and so on that are worth chump change, like 100-300 Bells, but then there are the better ones. In the sea you can find Red Snappers which are worth 3000 Bells and Bar-Knifed something-or-other fish that are worth 5000 Bells. These are the types of fish I look for. Most of the other kinds I release them after I catch them, or donate them to the museum if I do not have them.

Sometimes when fishing, you catch litter, which sucks and you have to get rid of it. You can do this by either taking it to the dump or bringing it to Nook, both of which get's rid of the trash. The game seems to focus on an equilibrium between keeping your town nice and filled with nature (but not too much), and making a whole lot of money. I also found my first weeds today which I had to pull. They make your town ugly, but they are pretty easy to get rid of.

Tomorrow, hopefully, I will be able to get an axe and start taking care of some of the tree overgrowth. Also I will be stuck with a new bill for the new basement I just upgraded to. Tomorrow will have a lot of good and bad things. Hopefully good things.. since I will get some fossils back in the mail. See you then! Look for Sara's post!
