I was lucky enough to get four of the new villagers to move to my island without having to buy or trade for any of them.They all moved in through regular game play and they were the four I was most interested in getting for New Horizons.
My biggest stroke of luck had to have been when I went through 25+ Nook Miles Tickets looking for my 10th villager. I ended up finding Julia on my last possible ticket! She's been a dreamie of mine since the Welcome amiibo update, but she was an RV amiibo card and those can be hard to find at the moment... I had gotten burned with villagers 6-8. My forced camper was Quillson, and then I accidentally void adopted Winnie and Keaton from the same person back to back. I learned the hard way not to leave an open plot down for more than a day... And then my 9th is currently a villager I'm giving to a friend. So I was really picky with my 10th. I wanted Mallary, but I ended up with Julia. I was so happy!
And then my 2nd biggest stroke of luck was when Quillson moved out earlier this week. I ended up finding Lolly after 10 tickets. I was pretty happy about it. I don't think I'll be keeping her though. I just wanted a cat villager because I have 3 dog and 2 horse villagers currently, and I wanted some variety.
Finding: Marina, Dobie, Zucker, Beau, Ankha, Stitches, Whitney, Selling Marina and then finding her again ( had to pass, i was so sad ), two tickets later finding Diana (cried about passing on her) and then finding Sherb right after Diana yesterday. Went through multiple breakdowns yesterday LOOL.
I have the Ankha Amiibo, so I was excited to invite her to my Island. I did not realize that it took 3 visits, so I put her house down on the first day.
After finding out that she won't move in on the first visit, I went to a Nook Miles Island, and immediately found another one of my Dreamies, Zucker.
I received a gift from Gulliver that I really didn't like...(It was some really ugly cap thing). I ended up giving it to Simon the Monkey cause I thought "eh why not". Not only did he LOVE it, but he gave me a REALLY cute yellow-blue striped shirt that goes great with my denim cut-offs! Talk about one man's trash is another man's treasure!
Finding Dobie! I've wanted him in one of my towns since the Welcome Amiibo update, I couldn't believe when he showed up since I wasn't searching for dreamies I just wanted a snooty or cranky.
Hi. My name in real life is Raymond. Of course I have tendencies to drool over my buddy Cat Raymond.
Been farming miles all week and going back and forth in islands. I've had enough and I was getting desperate. The night before, I was already eyeing these eBay listings that started popping up selling Raymond and I was heavily considering just buying him so I can finally get some decent sleep.
As I farmed my last batch of miles for 10 tickets and traded them in, the specific and cheapest listing went out of stock and I'd even DM'd the seller to ask when he'd restock. He replied in the morning, while I was still running through islands with my last batch of tickets, saying that he was then in fact restocking at that moment, and i was ready to make the purchase after I consumed my last tickets.
HOWEVER, on the fifth ticket out of my 10, FINALLY, he came, like destiny!
He finally took pity on me, nauseous, and still up from the night before. Saved me a lot of cash though!!
Would really have paid for him if I decided not to just at least consume my last tickets before finally giving up and start looking for cherry blossom items, which I heard was ending today.
