I haven't been because I've been so busy trading and my inventory is empty, but I will start up again soon once Summer rolls around.
Gotta get those summer DIYs!
I don't actively farm them, but I keep my slingshot around in case I see one. Doesn't really matter that much what it gives, if it's a new item or DIY, great!! If it's mats or bells or something I already have? Well, free stuff is free stuff. I'll take it lol
Provided I either have a slingshot still in my inventory or can quickly craft one, I shoot down all of my balloons. Why pass up on free bells, gold ore, or items that might interest me or earn me a few bells from selling to Timmy and Tommy?
Yeah, I might not be farming them like I did in April, but I still shoot them down when I see them. It's a chance for me to get furniture and other things in colours I can't get.
