Always start again
Pros:
- This is I believe by far one of the fastest ways to earn bells without just buying them from people
- It requires the least amount of set-up compared to some other fast ways of earning bells
- It does not require any amount of RNG
- It does not utilize any hacks/glitches unless you consider time travel (TT) a method of hacking
- It does not require NSO
Cons:
- *This process does require two switches* (This is definitely going to be one of the biggest things that keep the most people from wanting to do this method)
- *Two copies of the game are needed* (Another huge con for many players)
- It does require TT on at least one of the island profiles (both to be most effective)
- You will need to have unlocked Daisy Mae and the turnip market for two separate islands (not too big of a deal as she is unlocked fairly early)
- You will need to have Nook's Cranny unlocked for selling turnips on one of the islands (pretty much goes without saying since I believe Daisy Mae comes after Nook's Cranny anyway)
- You will need to buy at least 10 turnips from Daisy Mae (This is another very minor flaw, but I thought I should point it out anyway)
Process:
1. Create an island for both switches then work your way up to the Stalk Market on both of the islands. (TT is not required for this step but it does help speed this step up quite a bit)
2. On the island that you won't be using to make bells, TT until you get a time where Timmy and Tommy are buying turnips for a high price (the higher you can get, the faster this process will be) - REMEMBER THE DATE AND TIME.
3. On the island that you do want to collect more bells for, using the character you want to have receive a mass amount of bells, make sure you can talk to Daisy Mae. If you are not on a Sunday date and/or it is after 12PM, either wait until it is Sunday or TT to any date and time where you can buy turnips from Daisy Mae.
4. Buy as many turnips as you can from Daisy Mae at a preferably low buying price (preferably enough to completely fill your inventory [try to max your inventory to 40 spaces to speed up the process])
5. Load up your second copy of New Horizons on the second Switch. Make sure you are on the proper date and time for the high turnip selling price, then open the gates of that island.
6. On the Switch you are selling turnips on, talk to the Wilbur brothers and travel to the island of the second switch via local play. (You may also travel via a Dodo code but this will require NSO on both Switches)
7. Sell the turnips on the island with the high prices and profit. Feel free to have the visiting character return to the home island to buy more turnips and sell again. If Nooks changes prices/closes or Daisy Mae disappears, feel free to use TT as needed to gain an infinite amount of bells.
8. Feel free to switch up the island that is selling and the island that is buying turnips if you would like the character on the Second switch to also be making a ton of bells.
Yes! You may think this process sounds easy and is probably a very obvious way to make bells quickly. This is because it is!
I just wanted to share this method with anyone who might have not yet known about this bell-making process.
I hope you all enjoyed the read! Even though I can not participate in this method myself (as I do not own two switches nor do I own two copies of New Horizons), I know there are others of you out there who do own all the necessary materials (also, since I have not done this method, please let me know if I have missed anything while explaining it).
One final note: After careful consideration, I felt it would be in my best interest to highly advise that you do not buy a second switch and/or a second copy of the game just to perform this practice of making bells. There are plenty of other ways to make a good amount of bells that can be accomplished with just one switch and one copy of New Horizons (effectively halving the real world cost). However, if you already have the means to perform this practice, then feel free to try it out for yourself (if you don't mind TTing that is). After all, at that point, it won't cost you anything extra and I still believe it is still at least a little faster and bell-efficient than most or any other method out there (it is certainly a much more reliant method of making IGB as well), especially if you can not or do not want to take online play into account (for whatever reason).
