A good holiday guide. Thonky is pretty good but I found it kind of vague leading up to Halloween and the Harvest Festival, and it doesn't mention that for the Harvest Festival, you'll need to do a bunch of fishing in order to have fish to trade for ingredients, above and beyond what it tells you to collect to be prepared. It also doesn't mention that the ingredients list is "one of each so you are prepared for every possible recipe" and makes it sound like you need all of them to do the holiday. For Toy Day, it's a bit vague about what Jingle will give you. I'm also not sure if I can do it on every character?
Also, clearly delineating what is mayor-only vs something everyone can do. Also, what's available daily for every character (the money rock, updating the dream address) vs once a day per town (the ore rock, Wisp).
For amiibo, something I did was go to MoriDB and grab every item available via the villager RVs and put it into a spreadsheet. I then sorted by item and flagged every repeat item. This let me see that 6 villagers (Hornsby, Plucky, Buzz, Ketchup, Carrie, and Jacob) aren't worth tracking down, because they don't have any unique items that can't be gotten otherwise. (Jacob does have two cardboard pieces though so he's slightly more attractive than the other five.) I did the same for amiibo figures when deciding what to buy. I also had to figure out which amiibo would work with the game and summon which character, this information is a bit hard to find and is tricky for the Zelda figures especially. Something that would gather info like this into one place would be helpful.
Information about Streetpassing--that you can pick up villagers, what can and can't be ordered (refurbs even more than non-reorderables) and that it costs more than the store--Digby says this but I didn't register it. That when you hit 10 streetpasses with another game, it resets to zero so you can cycle through with the same person to get balloons and pinwheels and things that you're missing.
Oh, also an updated theme list--none of the FAQs I've seen/MoriDB have information on the themes for WA items (except MoriDB has most Sanrio items classified as Fairy Tale). I don't know how this information is obtained though so this might not be feasible.
A good refurb guide would be awesome, there are some on Tumblr but I find them hard to navigate. Maybe because I'm an olds who never has understood Tumblr.
In general, I also want a better moridb, I hate that I can't search within my catalogs.
