Anybody else wish there was a better way of getting seasonal DIYS

[nyanicat]

I've been balloon hunting for mush DIYs for 3 days now, for hours at a time, and I'm only halfway there to getting all of them.

This is so grueling! I wish we had more ways of getting these DIYs, like from villagers crafting or something.

I wouldn't mind if they made a special color of balloon for seasonal recipes like they did with the Bunny Day balloons (only with a fairer spawn rate). I feel like being able to find a villager crafting a seasonal DIY one or twice a day would be nice. It would speed up the process, but will take a bit longer than the Halloween DIYs.

I like the option of getting them quicker, but I dont want to get them to fast. Though I might be in the minority.

That would actually be pretty cool. I liked how at least once a day or every other day I would find a villager crafting a spooky DIY. It definitely helped speed up the process, and I pretty much have all of the DIYs, so it gave me an excuse to visit them at their home.

Wish they would at least show up in bottles as well as balloons. Villager crafting would be nice too, but it would have to be a lower rate than the spooky set.

The balloons that I get are always money or some item I already have. I get so frustrated.

I rather have villagers hand them over on a daily basis similar to spooky series. I don't like popping balloons in general. The drop rates are terrible. I tend to get useless materials or Bells all the time.

Yeah, I only have the mushroom wreath recipe that Isabelle gave me. I shudder to think what getting the maple leaf items recipes will be like. I don't play the game for long periods of time anymore. I was terraforming during the cherry blossom week --so while that was a strain it was achievable-- now I just play around 20 minutes most days that I do play.

 

[SadStringbean]

Yeah, this is annoying. I've only gotten the Mush stool and table, and places like Nookazon, with their cheeky sellers, are literally selling the mush lamp and wand and etc. for a stupid amount of IGB/NMT. this isn't the only time, though, as seasonal DIYS are usually rare compared to holiday DIYS like the Spooky and Bunny sets. Cherry Blossom DIYS were another thing though... thanks to bunny day.

There is nothing wrong with how we get DIYs. They just need to make ALL DIYs, including seasonal, available in all methods (villager crafting, bottles and balloons).

Honestly, I think making seasonal DIYs balloon-exclusive is stupid.

I don’t enjoy balloon hunting for seasonal DIYs at all. My island is not optimal for the balloon grinding method and I don’t like using those methods in the first place. It would be great if they were obtainable though villager grafting or bottles as well.

I truly don't understand why the villagers can't hand them out I think I pretty much have all the non seasonal recipes besides the wreaths/crowns, so I don't bother checking for crafting villagers any more. Ursala handed me a recipe for the wooden table mirror today which is just.. like, we get that at the start of the game, there's no reason for a villager to craft it.

Balloon farming gets a little easier if you force spawns every 5 minutes by going in and out of buildings. I'm also pretty sure only one recipe spawns for each hour, so I try to take a break after getting each hour's recipe.

Anything to make this easier. I only have the two wallpapers and adding the maple recipes will likely make things worse. When the sakura ones were active I went out of my way to go coastline camping for them and still only found four or five.

 

[visibleghost]

yes, balloon hunting is sooo tedious. i gave up a few months ago and decided to just buy the diys i wanted the most

I kept getting clay. It was annoying since I barely use that material. Yeah they really should had planned out the DIY seasonal stuff better. Getting it from balloons is just getting exhausting.

 

[Miss Misty]

I've gotten some decent balloon luck in the past few days, but I'd still prefer the recipes to be available from bottles and villagers.

Some ideas for obtaining seasonal DIYs: Shaking them from trees, trading them with villagers; eg. give them 10 mushrooms or some materials for a seasonal DIY, villagers crafting them, in bottles, villagers just giving them to you!! All of these options would be better than waiting for balloons in my opinion.

 

[Tutle]

It is so tedious having to wait and shoot at balloons for the fall diy's. I ended up just buying them.

 

[Sheep Villager]

I've gotten only two mushroom DIYs and three dupes of one of them.
Could they at least make it so you can't get dupes before you've gotten one of each of the DIYs. It's already so tedious...

I've just had to personally accept that I will most likely have to wait until next year to finish getting all of the Fall DIYs. I was able to get all the spring sakura ones and summer shell ones, but there are so many fall ones and I'm having such bad luck...​

 

[Hsn97]

Omg yes. I’m not a fan of crafting system in general but damn the seasonal diy spawn rate kills me. Just let me buy them with NM’s! I don’t use them for anything else these days.

I don't mind obtaining DIYs from balloons, but I wish we could also get them from villagers crafting like we could with the spooky DIYs, or even from the bottles. if you have bad RNG obtaining all of them is just tedious
