So gathering acorns & pine cones isn't as fun as I thought it would be...

[Your Local Wild Child]

Don't forget, we have presumably 3 (?) whole months to find them? Correct me if I'm wrong SH! Don't let the fall burnout get you all before it's even the equinox~

Actually you get a couple days in December to collect, too (before the snow rolls in)! I’m going into big time hoarding mode myself since my main island has an overgrown forest theme.

...I mean, I TTed and could've told you, but they're just like twigs but rarer. I thought we all assumed that's how they would work

I substituted all my hardwood trees for foreign fruits after sakura season. I did manage to get one acorn from a tree this morning whose fruit I’d picked yesterday, but does anyone know if there’s a difference in spawn rate?

Also I guess this is spoilery but was wondering whether the fruit trees will change color later this fall. If not I’m going to have to replace them back with hardwood soon anyway.

Idk about the first question but the fruit trees do change color. The pear trees especially look lovely bc the green makes them stand out.

i have included it on OP btw

we have up until dec 10. i mean the reality is i won’t even catch a stack of them that quick nor i’m planing to, and even so i’ve looked at the DIYs- there’s quite a lot of materials needed unlike pearls. it’s just the process of shaking trees, some of us are not into it. and some of our islands could not have enough trees or so. more or less shaking them frequently 10x hoping you’ll get 1.

just FYI our issue here is with how to get it & not how quickly we want the items. sure we have 3 months, but if you think about it why wait until december to display or craft the fall items right?

but you are right.. there’s plenty of time left

I guess it’s just the difference in what people enjoy doing. As I’m a shiny hunter in Pokémon, I find simple repetitive tasks quite therapeutic. Usually I pop on a YouTube video and have the task running in the background.

that’s true! for me, just personally, it’s gonna be hard to deal with trees because there are only a few, and some of them i have to clear the ground in order for the materials to land on. so basically a design issue haha. i have set an area before for the wood materials that i need, but it wasn’t much. the older the game gets, the less i needed it so it wasn’t really priority. as time went by, i’ve actually abandoned shaking trees on the regular.
so yeah if you compare it to summer shells, i prefer that one haha.

i only ever shake them once and move on

I love my trees so I have no problem in finding one with ample room to shake! I liked the summer shells but they barely had anything to craft with them!

I didn't tell you specifically but a while ago I did wish luck to one person who was planning on mass gathering stacks of those

I just don't like raining on people's parade...

Thanks . I haven’t logged in the game yet but even after reading these posts, I’m still excited.

I admit that I got impatient and have bought a lot of out of season stuff since I really have been enjoying trading and because I just love the frozen and now, fall stuff. I wish I had been more patient, but whatever lol. Going to still enjoy the season.

I don't remember but I guess it may have been you. I'm just enjoying the reactions here.

Good luck everyone!

It could have been me as well lol. I did tell you twice how excited I was. Still am, but didn’t realize they wouldn’t be as easy as the ornaments. lol

 

[UglyMonsterFace]

I just discovered this as well and it's so disappointing lol. I shook so many trees multiple times each and only got 1 acorn -_- not looking forward to this as a daily chore.

I’m actually going into the ornament season semi-blind (I don’t want items before they’re obtainable in either hemisphere) so knowing that ornaments drop more gets me hyped for when it does come!

 

[LambdaDelta]

tbh, none of the mats gathering is much fun

though it's still better than just about everything else, imo

also, spoilers: the ornaments afaik are obtained the same way

there's no reason to shake multiple trees

just focus on one, and pick up everything that drops as the spots fill up. they'll never stop dropping sticks/acorns/etc, so

also remember though that acrosn=hardwood, pinecones=cedar

 

[amemome]

I haven't seen a single acorn or pine cone drop and I shook all my trees

It still will take some time (not exactly a fast process to get a full stack), but when I was shaking for ornaments on someone else’s island, there wasn’t any issue of getting a surplus of tree branches in the process. I actually enjoyed shaking the trees for ornaments since it gave me something else to do and I just really liked the winter atmosphere on the island.

I’m excited for the season but on my main island the flashy winter-themed lights are going to clash a ton with the fun tropical atmosphere of summer lol

i have got a few what do you do with them,

You’ll be getting fall-themed diys through balloons throughout the season and you use those to craft them. Oooor you could just give em to the wild child here (o(ω )o )

 

[Jade_Amell]

I'm off to a great start. Shook my first tree, and got attacked by a bee. -.x

 

[Hypno KK]

I'm kind of disappointed too. I totally tought they'd appear on the ground near trees (like summer shells spawning on your beach). I'm really excited for them and like they way they look so I'll be shaking a lot of trees haha.

I wish that happened with me actually lol (my character’s look is completed with a big ol’ wasp sting)

the mushrooms just spawn like that on the ground too so maybe that’s why some of us assume it’ll be like that. oh well.

why couldn’t they make it like those easter egg trees? it’ll look pretty too!
