Are you guys actually getting the Sakura recipes?

[ellienoise]

I am on day 3 of the event and I'm starting to get nervous. I only have the bonsai recipe and I just can't seem to get any more of them. Are you having luck with that? What are the best methods to find normal balloons? What is your favorite recipe so far?

Edit
So i'm trying this guide and I've found they appear aproximately every 5 minutes, although they sometimes skip an interval. I've been doing this for like two hours and I've only got 2 recipes so far- 1 sakura and 1 bamboo. I leave my switch on and check every 5 minutes. Other ppl will get far better results I'm sure. Good luck guys!!

Edit 2
Out of every 10 balloons, I get 9 yellow and 1 blue. This is making the process of finding recipes super difficult. Are you getting balloons in one single color as well?

No luck. Have gotten a few normal balloons but they've all dropped bells

I have gotten many of the cherry blossom/sakura recipes so far! I honestly just run circles around the island while catching peacock butterflies (the spawn often due to my hybrid flowers) to find the normal balloons. Finally, my favorite recipe is probably the branches because they look so cute inside and go well with my furniture.

I’ve only had two so far and have been shooting the presents down like crazy so I wouldn’t worry, just looks like they’re quite slow for some. I’ve had the picnic basket thingy and the cherry blossom flooring.

My game is bunny-free so I’m getting them once in a while. I’m really hoping I can collect all before the 10th.

 

[AppleBitterCrumble]

I've only gotten one besides the outdoor picnic :/
The collection is so cute too and I have so many petals that I want to use to craft the items

 

[chibibunnyx]

I've only gotten 3 and the one Isabelle gave me. :c they've made it a bit annoying to find these lol

You are so lucky! I'll try running in circles as well, I usually just run from one side of the island to the other but that's not really working

I have a few so far from balloons drops: the wall, bonsai, clock, umbrella, and pond stone (and the picnic set given by Isabelle). I’ve only been shooting down regular balloons over sky balloons because I’m so sick of sky eggs. My favourite at the moment is the pond stone! I’ve been crafting stone-type projects to put all over town so I was happy to find another type to mix in there as well.

I love the clock sakura and the little bag. Now I need the sakura wand... ^^'

What do you mean bunny free? Is that possible?

Same, I've gotten so many yellow balloons I'm so sick of them

 

[Excaloser]

I've gotten nothing but yellow balloons with bells :/

 

[cheezu]

No, I only got the bonsai one as well.
My villagers keep giving me random ones and the one I found on the shore (besides the bunny one) was another random. Starting to lose hope that I'll collect all of them.

Someone said in another thread that balloons are on a timer. They will spawn at every 5 minute interval.

In 2 days I managed to get 5 out of the 14 sakura recipes. You really have to go out of your way to farm the regular balloons. Yes, I would get materials and bells and furniture sometimes too, so I wasn't getting recipes every time. But I was lucky in that I think every time I got a recipe drop, it was a sakura one.

I managed to get all of the Bunny Day recipes that you can get without being actually on the 12th, I think, so I'm going to ignore the egg balloons now completely due to the balloon glitch. I want to save my shots for the regular balloons since we have a limited time to farm the sakura recipes.

What do you mean bunny free? Is that possible?

It's possible. I didn't have any accounts on my Switch linked to a Nintendo account at first and I couldn't get anything Bunny Day related to show up. I had to link my Switch to a Nintendo account to get that all to work.

I haven't exited out of the game. I just sleep it. No bunny day fortnight!

This works even if you visit other people's islands. You actually have to quit out of the game and reload it for bunny day to appear.

I've gotten them sporadically. The first day I got the wall clock recipe and yesterday I got the wallpaper.

 

[starlightsong]

I've been trying to pop a somewhat equal amount of regular balloons & bunny day balloons and still haven't gotten a single cherry blossom recipe besides the one Isabelle gives you It's not a huge deal for me since I'm a TTer and can just go back to get them whenever I want, but man it's frustrating having bunny day & cherry blossom season at the same time.

 

[Bioness]

I yet to get one besides the picnic basket Isabelle gives you.
