Discover how to maximize your bell earnings from the Money Rock in Animal Crossing: New Leaf! Learn the best strategy to get up to 8,000 bells per hit, plus tips on identifying the fake rock.
Hey there! So, you've probably noticed those rocks scattered around your town, right? Well, one of them is a special 'Money Rock' that can give you a nice little bell boost each day. Let's make sure you're getting the most out of it!
Walkthrough
- 1First things first, when you find the rock that's giving out bells today, make sure the area around it is clear. Get rid of any flowers or rubbish that might be in the way. This just ensures you have a clear shot and won't accidentally hit something else.
- 2Now, here's the crucial part for maximizing your earnings: stand facing the rock. Dig a row of three holes directly behind yourself. This creates a little barrier so that when you hit the rock, the recoil doesn't push you away.
- 3With the holes dug, equip your shovel and start hitting the rock. You'll get a total of eight hits before it stops giving bells. Because you dug those holes, you'll stay right next to the rock and can land all eight hits within the time limit.
Tips
- The Money Rock gives out bells in increasing amounts: 100, 200, 300, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, and finally 8000 bells. If you're lucky, these amounts can be doubled! So, a perfect run could net you a whopping 64,000 bells!
- Keep an eye out, because each day there's also a 'fake' rock. This fake rock won't give you bells; instead, it'll drop a gem when hit. If you know where all the rocks are in your town, you can usually figure out which one is the fake.
- Using a silver shovel on the Money Rock will result in gems instead of bells. So, stick to your regular shovel if bells are your goal!
