Outside of buying and selling turnips, one of thebest ways to make huge amounts of BellsinAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsis to spend Nook Miles and visit a mystery island to catch tarantulas and scorpions. A recent update to the game has made this process even easier, so players don’t have to leave their cash cow island to make money.
For many players, one of the most reliable ways to make Bells inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsinvolves having Dodo Airlines fly them out to randomly-generated islands in search of rare bugs. With a little bit of luck and know-how, players can fill their inventories up with scorpions, tarantulas, and other bugs that can be sold to Tom Nook or Flick for six-figure profits. However, these excursions were always limited by how much inventory space players have.

In the game’srecent 1.2.1 update, the process of making cash through catching bugs on mystery islands has become much easier. If players chat with Wilbur the dodo pilot while visiting an island, they’ll have two new options for choosing to stay. The first one lets them send items from their inventories to their home’s storage for free. However, the other one acts as the box outside of Nook’s shop, allowing players to sell their items without leaving the island. It’s true that players will get a slightly worse selling price by selling their rare catches this way, but it certainly beats losing out on a highly-profitable island while trying to make money.
to unlock this functionality from Dodo Airlines, players will need to visit Harv at least once. Even if players have already visited Harv or don’t have much interest in what he offers, it’s worth taking another look now that thewedding season eventis going on. Players who help Reese and Cyrus celebrate their wedding anniversary can receive a variety of wedding-themed items.
An additional bonus feature Wilbur offers in this patch is the ability to buy a selection of tools from him. This means players can collect scorpions until the cows come home, even if their net falls apart. Maybe one day there’ll be anAnimal Crossing: New HorizonsDLC featureto quickly build multiple nets without navigating through the menu each time.
