Summer shells have not appeared

[IridianSky]

I play 2 characters on my island, and neither one is seeing summer shells and neither got a DIY from Isabelle. Back during Sakura season when we were supposed to get some Sakura (picnic?) recipe from Isabelle, I also was never given that, and ended up getting it from a balloon days later. I guess this must be a bug that they haven’t fixed that I’m unlucky enough to keep getting hit with.

Edit: day 2 for me, and still no shells and no recipe from Isabelle. I didn’t have any other announcements today either, just the usual “nothing to say so I’ll tell you about what I saw in TV last night” stuff. I’ve also popped about 20 balloons and haven’t gotten any summer recipes, nor were my daily messages in bottles summer related.

It's may 2nd here.

There is no DIY.

I hope you meant June 2nd. As long as Isabelle has an event to announce (move in/out, birthdays, holidays, construction), she won't give you the DIY. Just wait.

Found summer shells but no DIY from Isabelle even tho I don't have any news from her

I have found a bunch throughout the summer months. I don't believe they have a constant spawn rate like mushrooms (which have a limit of 5 a day if you have open spaces around plain hardwood trees) so there's not a guaranteed amount you will find everyday, you will just have to be lucky randomly throughout the day. I also don't think they take the slots of regular shells bc I still found the normal amount of other shells, but clearing your beaches of other shells couldn't hurt. For those who haven't found one yet, they look like a conch/sea snail shells but are a bright blue color. And they can occasionally appear on mystery islands, not sure if these count in a maximum 'total' that can be found in a day.

And yes, I did TT to the beginning of fall, and I was still finding them until September, so don't worry if you haven't found many yet, there's plenty of time to gather~

They must be pretty rare. I found two on my island today. But I don’t have any diy recipes that use them yet.

thank you. This explains my situation because one of my villagers has pinged me to move and Isabelle will be announcing that tomorrow. At this point I have six Summer shells and no recipes from Isabell or balloons

I found my Summer Shell on a mystery island but I don't even have Isabelle yet so...

How many summer shells do you get in each mystery mile based of your visits?

Yep, June, I meant. LOL

Nope, nobody moving, nothing being built, just no DIY.
It will be June 3rd soon.

 

[Lavulin98]

I opened both characters and TT-ed with both for 3 days and 3 days without announcements and neither got any wreath. Honestly im so sad, bc this is the second time when I am subject to this, since I neither got the cherry diy from Isabelle. I am angry at this game, buggy hell of an update.

That's weird. Then I guess, much like the cherry blossoms, you can only rely on the balloons. This season extends until July so there's a lot of time.

 

[Acies]

I shot down several balloons and I haven't gotten any DIY so far.

 

[greenvoldemort]

to be fair, i have got the diy, but this was only bc i time travelled forwards earlier this month..

 

[sunchild]

only had 1 summer shell during the day yesterday (june 1st) but had about 4 spawn in the evening/night. also managed to get 3 diys (shell wand, shell wreath, and shellfish pochette) from balloons, so i would say it was a win.

 

[Nodokana]

Summer shells can be so hard to come by. *sigh*

 

[Lavulin98]

They are also not guaranteed one per nook mile island. went on 3 islands and only 1 of them had a summer shell so far. Also when I tt-ed 3 days in advance for wreath from Isabella, I also checked the beaches and nothing new spawned. so the shells might somehow be programmed to only spawn at specific hours??? or maybe somewhat tied to real time, bc so far I had 2 days in a row shells when I played in real life, but when I tt-ed, no day spawned.

 

[ceribells]

I think something like this happened with cherry blossoms. I got a camper announcement or something, or maybe Bunny Day, and my S.O. got the DIY when he started up later that day. I got my DIY the next day. I wouldn't worry much until tomorrow.

Well, Isabelle didn't give me anything this morning :[
At least these are available for awhile.

Sorry, I can't say much because I only visited one island yesterday but I'm going to assume another one doesn't show up if I had gone on a 2nd trip. Though if anyone wants to test and prove me wrong please do so lmao

The appearance rate of those summer shells is low. I am only getting around one per two to three hours of play.
