Yesterday, I shot down another balloon present. I found a ranch tea table inside, which isn’t particularly exciting, but it is nice that I’m seeing some balloon presents again lately.
For once, I was thrilled to find Wendell in town! That allowed me to take the first step in the series of trades required to get the golden axe. So I gave Wendell the red turnip, and he really enjoyed eating it.
To thank me, he gave me a turban.
Even though it can be worn, its real purpose is to be given to Saharah. Now I just have to wait for the camel to show up in town again.
Rolf asked me for some stylish clothes, and I reasoned that helping him out might help me get his photo sooner. So I gave him a No. 1 shirt, and he gave me a geisha wig in return.
Today, Tom Nook told me he was paying 200 bells for turnips!
So I sold my 400 turnips for 80,000 bells. I exactly doubled my money. Not bad!
Outside, Bunnie said that she’s been obsessed with fortune-telling lately. She practiced on me, telling me that my lucky item is a vintage tambourine. Also, she assured me that mystical Friday gnomes will protect me.
Margie was still sick, so I gave her another dose of elephant meds. She needs to get over this cold already. 😛
Over at town hall, Pelly had some special dialogue for me. She said she’s been having trouble waking up in the morning lately, and she hasn’t been sure whether to swipe her time card first or go get some coffee. She compared it to having a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other.
I don’t think getting a cup of coffee is that serious of an issue, Pelly.
After that, I wrapped up my day in Forest. Now that I’ve sold my turnips, I’ll probably take a break from the game tomorrow.
From the golden axe trading guides I’ve read, it seems that some trades can result in “dead ends,” where you have to start the sequence all over again. So for that reason, I might buy another red turnip on Sunday…if I remember. But regardless, I’ll probably be back on Monday to resume my Saharah search.
Have a great weekend! And Never Stop Crossing! 🙂
Ah, the days when geisha wigs weren’t rare items an NPC may or may not give you.
