Howdy y’all! As we all know the update gave us Katrina, and her fortunes seem to have a significant impact on our gameplay from my observation. I don’t time travel much so I can’t get quick results, but I can confirm so far from my observation a few things:

- if you are blessed with improved luck in bells, digging up the shining spot in your town will yield 5000 bells instead of 1000, and you will get an additional 10,000 bells from your money rock. Additionally, when I tried to bury a 99,000 bell bag in the money tree spot that day, it DID yield 3 99,000 bell bags back when I shook it once it had fully grown. I don’t know if this is 100%, but the fact it worked the one time I tried is nice.
- I’ve received both improved and diminished luck in “belongings,” but I still haven’t figured out what either of these fortunes mean.
- I had Samson on my island for a long time and hadn’t received his photo yet. The DAY that I checked my friendship with him, she had offered to bless our friendship and I took the offer. When I had given him a gift that day, he gave me his photo. Could be coincidence, but still nice.
- I had just gotten Audie to move on to my island and our friendship was not at the point where I could give her gifts yet. When I had Katrina bless our friendship that day, I chatted with Audie and noticed I still couldn’t give her gifts. This tells me that the friendship blessings do not yield a certain amount of friendship points. Perhaps it acts as a multiplier for friendship points? And if it does, I do not know what that multiplier would be, how long it lasts, or if we can have multiple blessings active at once.

That’s all I have gathered as far as constructive observations with Katrina. I wanted to create this thread so we could gather observations and figure out how she works! Please post if you have noticed anything with her mechanics :)
 
I wonder if you're always guaranteed bad luck if you speak to her while wearing the king tut mask. :unsure:

Another thing relating to her is that she can make it so your tools wont break that day. I was hitting trees over and over again with a flimsy axe and it just would not break.
 
I keep getting this luck where she says "Your health will improve" What does that even mean?
I got this too she said something about home cooked meals and my health will improve. I don’t really know what she means by this…

i think health has to do with how much energy eating fruit/meals give you! could be helpful with building on your island, i guess. im not entirely sure how bad health would work though, i got it once and just got katrina to cleanse it for me.
 
I guess its suppose to mean something about you eating a lot of good that can give you more energy, which is something I never do.
Oh okay like maybe getting more energy from home cooked food that makes sense I don’t really use that either unless I’m designing my town.

Yes if this is the case it’d be great to have this kind of luck when you’re doing some island flattening or decorating.
 
I've gotten the health and money ones! I'm also not sure what the health one means. Not sure if there are other ones (lucky or unlucky).
 
That would be awesome if burying 99K bell bags was always 100% with the luck. I wonder if that’s a fact.
 
I've got the health one today, although it was about stretching instead of meals.

Yesterday I got one related to Daisy-Mae and Joan, and buying turnips to get riches. They were being sold on my island for 91 bells, pretty good. However according to my turnip forecast for the week, I don't have any opportunity for Big Spikes, just Small Spikes or Fluctuating (too soon to tell which it will be)
 
I got 10k bells popping a balloon after she said I would have good luck with bells. Haven't found a money rock yet.
 
She told me yesterday i will be having bad luck but i could cleans it, i was curious to see what cleansing meant or would do, so i did. I was a bit disappointed. But on the next day i had mail from Katrina, she gifted me an item for purifying my bad energy i guess, dont know if she does it always ill try again next time i get bad luck.

a horse shoe to hang at the door, quiet cute
 
Yesterday, she told me I would have bad luck in health unless I paid 10k. I didn’t, and I ended up tripping all day. When I went back to pay her, it would not let me— be warned to pay Katrina unless you want to land on your face every 30 seconds!

I figure that probably works behind the scenes in either 1 of 2 ways - either they make the breakage counter not count down at all that day, OR it could keep counting down to 1 hit left and then just won't let it roll over to 0. I would bet it's probably the former (not counting down at all) but I'd be curious which it actually is. I'm intentionally trying to break axes since I still need the golden axe, so that's why I care which it might be.

this just happened once and that was the object i got, i had good luck today so ill have to wait and see if i get bad luck tomorrow in order to test it out, maybe she will gift me a new and different item 🤞🏼
 
Question for you all- is Katrina just like all the other NPCs where she’ll just be in the town center one day?

I personally haven't seen her visit my town plaza yet so dunno, but my guess is not
