Animal Crossing New Horizons Villager Popularity List

[Jared:3]

Welcome to the Animal Crossing New Horizons Villager Popularity list!

This list is compiled data based on the popularity of villagers which happen to help many sell, and cycle villagers based on worth! Please don't be pressured to used this list if you don't want, this list is meant to help those that want to use it! As always you can recommend a villager to move up or down and I will take it into consideration after I collect all my data for the week!

As always I'm sure some will have some common questions about the popularity list some I'm going to list some FAQ's down below:

How do I determine Villager Popularity? Villager popularity is determined by a couple of factors such as the Looking For Thread in the New Neighborhood Network, how much a villager is sold for, and also signatures which show popularity of a villager!

Why aren't prices listed next to the tiers? Great question! I don't have prices listed because some villagers in the same tier sell for different amounts for example, Raymond and Judy go for a lot more than any other tier 1 in terms of price but are still in tier 1 with the rest of the villagers.

Tier 5 is massive, is tier 6 going to exist? Yes! Tier 5 is huge right now because im in the process of splitting up some villagers from tier 5 into tier 6, this isn't very easy but I will get it done soon!

Is this thread TBT only? Yes, this thread is solely based on TBT activity and the reason for this is because I don't want to confuse any cyclers or people selling villagers based on popularity from other forums taken into account, I find it better just to use TBT data!

Will there be a mobile version? Yes, this list is very new so the mobile version should be up within a week or 2 don't worry I will have it done!

How often is this list going to be updated? Typically once a week this list will be updated although sometimes life can happen or I might not have enough data to do a full update, I will let everyone know in advance if something happens!

Is this list accurate? This list should be fairly accurate however, not everything is going to be 100% accurate as determining the popularity of villagers can be difficult at times!

Lastly, will tiers get pictures? Yes, tier 1 will get sprites next to the corresponding villager and I will have that done soon please bare with me!

I put a lot of effort into researching for this list please enjoy!

She's 11 of tier 3!

She's 11 of tier 3!

I am just blind then x.x thank you for pointing her out

If Wolfgang rly more popular than Chief now????? How did you compile that? Because everywhere I go all I see is ChiefChiefChiefChief and it's been that way since New Leaf. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong selling places, but the top male wolfs have always been Fang and Chief.

Chief is having a bit hard of time selling, Wolfgang is going to drop this week as I have an update tomorrow with some changes!

Neat thanks for taking the time to make this

No problem! I saw that the previous list isn't being updated and the other list uses more websites than TBT so I decided to make a more traditional list for everyone to use and be updated regularly!

 

[Stil]

I love the list.

I do have one recommendation.
I honestly and truly feel like Zucker and Marina should switch places on the list or Marina should drop off of tier 1.

Since octopi in ACNH have a very high encounter rate on deserted islands, I see tons of marina posts that simply wont sell. And when they do, Its for only a few NMT.

On the other side of the fence, there's Zucker.
I almost always see somebody wanting him or looking for him and when somebody does sell him, he sells for a lot more than I see Marina sell for.

This is 100% just my opinion, and you have probably spent a lot more time researching villager sales than I have whilst compiling this list, but I just wanted to give my input.

Other than that, awesome job!
Thanks for taking the time to compile all of this for us.

Thanks for voicing your opinion, yes actually I looked at the list and realized Marina is way too high she's dropping tomorrow as I have a big update since I created this list about 2 weeks ago I have to update some of the villager placements, Zucker is going to rise although I'm not sure about middle of tier 1 probably lower tier 1 is where I will move him too! Also thanks for the compliment on the thread much appreciated!

 

[raqball]

I've seen Zucker 3 or 4 times more often than I've seen Marina on mystery islands..... Zucker is easy to get if you have a few NMT's..

 

[Bioness]

If this is based primarily on how well and how much a villager sells, then Raymond and Judy should be in a tier of their own in my opinion. That way you could have a pricing guide without those outliers.

You just had a different set of RNG than average. All members of the same species have the same encounter rate.

While I did consider doing this I don't want to create a separate tier for 2 villagers, maybe this will change in the future if I see a need to but for right now I'm keeping the list the way its but I did make note that Raymond and Judy sell for much higher prices

Another way to look at villager popularity is the physical amiibo prices on Ebay. I would say, the most popular tier amiibos go for 80-150 USD (marshal, etc), the next set would go from 40-60 dollars (like Kabuki), and then the 15-30 ranges, and lastly the under 15 range.

There are still lesser known villagers selling for under 10 on Ebay.

But omg. I've been trying to buy physical amiibos for about two/three weeks now. I saw how certain villagers' prices jumped from 5 dollars to 15, and then 20. Others who have been in the market longer have seen the prices of villagers go from 2 dollars to 60 or more.

I don't refer to eBay for my data as amiibo card prices are irrelevant to the villager tier list here on TBT

 

[Jared:3]

Bumping this!

 

[absol]

Wow I didn't expect Whitney, Diana and Julian to be that high. Also thought Chief and Dobie would be more popular.

 

[Spunki]

Wow Even Filbert and Rolf are unpopular now. Looks like more than half of my Island is Tier 5 lmao.

Also you forgot Gonzo.

 

[Altarium]

Very surprised to see Fauna drop from tier 1, and I'm very happy my girl Skye is higher than the likes of Bob and Rosie :3

I really think Piper deserves a lot more love
