Good Monday!

A friend shared me the tool u/mikebryantuk made. I was illuminated. Never thought about “cracking” the probabilities. And I got intrigued about Ninji’s code.

I tried Ninji’s code, I figured out JS may be too slow to compute all possible combinations. Still I tried. Failed. (I may try later with WebAssembly).

With many hours available I crafted a tool that makes a nice chart out of the minimum and maximum possibilities. Filters out the possible patterns. And works on mobile!

I hope you like it!

ACNH Turnip Calculator

Edit: Before commenting be sure to put yourself a flair, I’m seeing notifications of comments that get deleted (or hidden) immediately. Or send me a DM. :)

UPDATE:

Thank you so much! I'm overwhelmed with all the positive feedback. Just to let you know that we have made updates. Thanks for all the GitHub issues. And now the calculator supports internationalization with Spanish, French, Italian, German, Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan, Hong Kong)

Hi Turnippers,

As you may be aware, we have had concerns for some time about Turnip Exchange, in part because of reports of scamming, in part because of reports of people using it to circumvent our rules about entry fees, and in part because we had concerns the TE code might be violating Nintendo TOS.

Some reporting by @StalkMarket_ in this Twitter thread has highlighted these concerns.

Also, I had no idea TE were a cash grab on Patreon, which seems like a giant bucket of worms. Tom Nook would be appalled.

For these reasons, we are banning the use of turnip exchange for queues, effective immediately.

I know, cue massive groaning from some, and cheers from others.

Google forms, guys.

Here's a guide from a user on our Discord server.

Here's a guide from frsotsybab

Anyone else has a guide, let me know and I am happy to link.

If anyone has a queuing app that doesn't do the stuff that TE is doing as reported in the thread, then let's hear about it. I would GUESS that Nintendo would not ban players who were using it to host, but I might not want to bet my turnip money.

Automod will be removing the threads he detects, but you know he not that smrt, so please, lovely community, report, report, report.

THANK you all for learning the rules, by the way. I didn't have to remove many threads at all yesterday or today, which was GREAT, especially since a lot of my time yesterday evening was taken up with a random FaceTime call from my stepfather, who wanted to tell me about the feud he is having with a wombat.

Priorities.

This is your megathread for questions, complaints, discussion of how that one time a wombat wrote you a rude letter, and so on.

Glinda out.

Hey Turnippers, how was your selling week?

My island denizens sold for high 450s on Tuesday, and then I was tempted into some absolutely revolting moneymaking later in the week when I was involved in a Turnipalooza so wild that there were bells all over town and u/welie ate an entire pocketful of turnips he was so high on the fumes.

At both of these rollicking adventures, I tipped my hosts. Admittedly in welie's town people dropped their tips 100 bells at a time, but we had our Reasons.

Community standard for tipping is 10%

A lot of hosts have commented that people are not tipping AT ALL, which quite frankly, does not surprise me as I am well acquainted with the barbarian reputation of turnippers, but it does disappoint.

For those of you here from Forbes, and other Wall Street publications, and who scorn the socialist ethos of wealth-sharing, building community, paying it forward (or back) and not being a dick, I present to you the pragmatic reason for tipping:

Hosting is onerous, and people will stop doing it if you don't make it worth their time.

Feel free to present your capitalist fat cat counterarguments.

UPDATE

A lot of people read this post as me saying there will be an enforced requirement for tipping. No, that's not happening.

On the other hand, if this post made you feel bad for not tipping, and now you are salty and saying "HARUMPH I DON'T LIKE THIS TIPPING REQUIRMENT, UNICORMFARTS, BY THE WAY YOU SUCK", well, perhaps there was a need to remind people that tipping is polite.

Other things, apparently, people are doing when they go to sell: shaking trees, and not saying anything or even doing a happy emote. Come on, guys.

Guys, be careful out there.

I bought turnips at 93, and sold them yesterday at +500. That's a +5x return exchange! I made over 2M bells. If we keep this up the SET (Securities and Exchange Tanuki) will be trying to get this sub removed. They've already taken down r/wallstreetbets, and we could be next.

Plus look at what happened when they tried to manipulate the stalks of The Roost Café (TRC). I mean, Brewster is serving coffee in Federal Prison now.

Please be careful with all the insider trading.

Thanks to this post from Ninji detailing how turnip pricing works under the hood, I've been working on a tool to predict turnip prices.

The tool is somewhat rough right now - but it seems to be giving valid results for the data I have available. Please feel free to give it a try, and feedback or contributions are very welcome!

The more data points you give it the better the prediction. It will give you the possible range of values for each day, morning and afternoon.

You need the buy price on your own island - not wherever you bought the turnips

The first week that you buy turnips from Daisy on your own island is special. Don't enter the buy price for that week. (The actual price used in the code is not displayed to you, the tool will try all possibilities instead)

Brave new world, that has such scammers in it.

Newest, hottest scam:

Apparently u/xBaby_Usagi_Moonx is DMing people offering them what my grandmother would have described as immoral burlesque services, and my other grandmother would have described as an electronic peepshow, in return for being allowed to sell turnips. Big news: she did not pony up with the pornography.

If it sounds too good to be true, boys, it probably is.

Victim impact statement: "Bro I wasted 4 hours of my day for her she even called me daddy"

Egregious scammers are listed on r/ACBanhammer, both by FC, and now by popular demand by username in the stickied thread.

Previous scam update.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?

I will ban everyone who responds as well as the OP if this happens again.

Go post them literally anywhere else.

Clarification: this is to the dozen people who posted Celeste without a turnip price. Anyone crazypants enough to do Celeste and let people in to sell, you guys are like the public Dodo anarchists, and are welcome to do you.

Just want to highlight this really terrific quality comment from u/peedi1603 in case it gets buried. Ostensibly, it's about me, but it's also about the other 15,478 of you currently viewing this subreddit.

Hey everyone, got that good good peak today. Tips are appreciated (I'm the one dressed as a pink bear lol), but no payment is required. Please follow the rules below to have an efficient and fun time (don't be a dick or I will ax the whole session)!

Rules:

1. Please leave a comment and I will go through oldest to newest. Do not DM me please, I will DM Dodo codes to your group when it is your turn.

2. I will take 4-6 people at a time. When you receive the Dodo code, please arrive and WAIT BY THE AIRPORT until everyone in your group has arrived. Then we can all go to the store. This helps minimize load screens and interference messages.

3. When you are finished, please WAIT OUTSIDE THE SHOP. Please DO NOT EXIT THE SESSION, I will kick everyone at the same time using the (-) button in order to minimize load screens.

Can't wait to see your shining faces!

Hi y'all! I hosted for the first time recently, and I wanted to share my system because it made things run incredibly smoothly and quite a few people said they liked it!

To start, I followed u/frsotsybab's guide on how to set up a Google Form. If you haven't seen it yet, here's the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/acturnips/comments/g8a2rc/sw_using_google_forms_and_queue_system/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Also following that guide, I had all of the responses automatically go into a Google Sheet.

From there, I put everyone into groups of 4 and gave each group a timeslot of 10 minutes. The first group was 5:00-5:10, the next group 5:15-5:25, and so on. I gave myself a 5 minute window in between to collect tips, generate a new Dodo code, etc. I put everyone's timeslot into a "Status" column on the Google Sheet so that everyone knew exactly when they would be able to come. That column also noted whether each group was done, in game, or waiting.

My Google Sheet looked something like this:

After I had everyone sorted into timeslots, I added all of the users in a timeslot to a group chat and told them when they would be able to come (in case they didn't see the Google Sheet). I also named the group chats with the time (e.g. "Turnips 5:00-5:10") so they would be easy for me to sort through. I made all these group chats before I started inviting people so that I didn't have to worry about making the groups and watching my game at the same time. Once a timeslot was over, I ended the session, generated a new Dodo code, and messaged it to the next group.

Doing things this way made it really easy for me (I didn't have to individually message a Dodo code to 50+ people) and for everyone else (they didn't have to sit around wondering when/if they would get a Dodo code). The only thing I might do differently next time is shorten the timeslots to get through the list a little quicker.

Anyways, I hope you guys find this helpful! I hadn't seen anyone else using a method like this so I thought I'd share.

Ahoy hoy, Turnip Street. Hope you managed to sell high this week.

Because apparently I need to say this, I am saying this. Again.

There is a word which, while it is an abbreviation of the name of the type of animal that the Nook Boys exemplify in the English-speaking context, is a highly offensive racial slur in the North American dialects of the English language. I am not saying the word. Don't you say the word either.

DO NOT MAKE THREAD TITLES THAT USE THIS SLUR. Do not use this slur in comments either. Do not participate in threads that use this slur.

The correct response in this context to being informed that you have (whether inadvertently or not) used or endorsed a racial slur, is "I am so sorry."

Do not tell me intent is more important than oppressive language. It's not.

There are enough racists around here on reddit that I can't assume your intent is only to use a cutesy abbreviation.

You can use pretty much any other descriptive language you want for Timmy and Tommy. I particularly enjoyed the person who called them "rat bastards" today. Mods are not on powertrip to control your language. We are just saying not to use that particular slur. I mean, don't call them the n-word, either, but that seems less likely.

This post is for all the people who are complaining that the language in the rules and the previous modposts on this topic were insufficient. Everyone else, who is not using this kind of language or mansplaining to me, have a good day.

If English is not your first language, or you are Zoom-schooled, a quick google will get you up to speed.

ETA: a couple people have said that people are also managing to abbreviate the word turnip in a way that is ALSO a racial slur. Don't do that, either.

ETA: To the cowards using the report button to express your racist opinions: there is a mod function that allows for us to flag abuse of the report button, so maybe go poop your tiny pants.

This is what I get for making a post about how great everyone is, I guess.

Okay, so, u/MrKrabsTorsion made at least 7 posts here saying he had a 594 price, and charging 5NMT entry fee, which is against the rules.

The reason it is against the rules is because of what MrKrabsTorsion did, which is, he would grab the NMT and immediately end the session so that the person didn't get to sell, because probably there was no 594 price.

Yes, he is a bad person.

HOWEVER. The vast majority of the approximately 150 responders, in the 7 threads I can see that were removed by Automod, is a person who contributed to their own victimization by replying and agreeing to be extorted.

The rule exists to protect you. If you see posts demanding entry fees, particularly high entry fees, they are likely to be scams. Even if it's not a scam, it's against the rules. Don't reply. Report.

I am not trying to call out or shame time travelers. The purpose of this post is to let people know that there will be more sellers with higher prices later in the week.

Thanks to the work of /u/edricus, Ninji, and others last week we now have a good understanding of how the game calculates turnip prices. The prices people come to this sub for (300+ bells per turnip) are only possible in the "large spike" pattern. The peak of the large spike is coded into the game to occur no sooner than Tuesday evening. Before that, prices stay relatively low.

The maximum Monday turnip price is found in the "random" pattern. The first phase of this pattern gives a random price between 90% and 140% of Daisy's selling price on Sunday. The maximum can be calculated by multiplying 110 (highest possible selling price) times 1.4, or 154 bells per turnip.

EDIT: It's also possible (though unlikely) that a 154 bell Monday price is part of a "small spike pattern."

My friend, /u/drfuzzyness, and I developed a method of sharing your turnip price predictions with friends based on the great work from the community.

We're sharing a Google Sheet that is largely based on /u/mikebryantuk's javascript library. The biggest additions are the ability for you to easily create a private copy of our Google Sheet and save the data for the future in an easy to share format. We also added some colorful conditional formatting! Additionally, like all Google Sheets, you can duplicate the tab and share the Sheet with friends so that you can have multiple friends tracking their turnip prices at the same time! But then again, who has friends?

Hi Turnippers,

Hope you didn't forget to sell because you were too busy swimming.

Something you need to be aware of with the update and wetsuits:

People who arrive in your town wearing wetsuits will be able to jump from the airport into the water, and swim anywhere on your island.

This means that if you have been relying on fencing from the airport to T&T the in-game shop which has a sign indicating it is called Nook's Cranny and which is run by the NPC characters Timmy and Tommy to protect your town, it will no longer be effective. On the other hand, if you fence the airport to T&T he in-game shop which has a sign indicating it is called Nook's Cranny and which is run by the NPC characters Timmy and Tommy, people who come in wetsuits and jump into the water won't be able to sell.

I would suggest that visitors to towns should not wear wetsuits, and if you want to be a good visitor, you will not wear one. However, this is not something that can be policed.

I would fully understand if this makes people cautious about hosting. You're going to have to go back to putting all your stuff away.

Remember, we do have the RMM system for accountability and trusted traders. r/RateMyMayor.

Discuss below, helpful ideas welcome!

Asking for upvotes is technically vote manipulation, and even if it isn't, it's really bad reddiquette.

Most people here sort by new, which makes it stupid as well as bad manners.

Honestly, the way you guys all see one bad idea and then leap on it is astonishing.

Please report if you see it.

Complaints and discussion can go here, again. Anyone tried one of these new queuing tools?

Ayyyy puns! So yep, she's in town, I have her trapped on the beach, and I'll lead you to her. Tips not required, but appreciated!

Comment below with the best catchphrase you've ever given to a villager, and I'll start DM-ing the code!

The nookies are buying for 489, however, I turned my island into a giant maze/puzzle. If you’re willing to do the puzzle and make it to Nooks just think of it as a game! I don’t expect tips, I just find enjoyment in you trying to solve the puzzle. Please don’t use any tools, it’s 100% completable without any and it’ll just ruin the fun. If you get stuck, my girlfriend will be on the island and she will give you clues if needed. Comment for a code! Have fun!!!

Update: That was fun! It hit 12pm in game so the turnip prices went down, if anybody still wants to do the maze anyway just comment or message me and I’ll send code thanks!

Yo, Turnippers, hope you are having a great Spooky Week.

There's been a bit of a rash of people taking stuff when they are on Islands to sell turnips. Why? I have no damn idea. For those who apparently need this said:

When people allow you to come to sell, this is not an invitation to help yourself to items left on the ground, to fruit or money trees, or any other stuff that it occurs to you to do. Come, sell your turnips, TIP, leave. NOTHING ELSE is okay unless the host EXPLICITLY gives you permission.

Special mention to the jerks who keep telling me that hosts "deserve" stuff to be taken or they "assume" it's fine. Were you people raised by wolves? Chief does not endorse your shenanigans.

Regular-ass people who don't do this stuff, please report it when you see it.

OMG people have stolen TIPS? That's a whole new level. If you ever did this, you are an asshole.

UPDATE APRIL 9 There's some extorters going around fencing people in at the airport and demanding bells before you can sell. u/lanramalho was one, u/overcookedidiot deleted their account after accusations of the same. Please if this happens get VIDEO or SCREENSHOTS. Report to modmail.

UPDATE: Apparently there are a bunch of bots swarming the posts. BE VERY CAREFUL about giving Dodo codes to bots, because these bots are probably linked to Twitch or Discord where they are sharing your Dodo code.

If you want to be sure you are trading with people from this sub, as annoying as it might be, you may be safer trading via friendcode.

Be smart, people.

We already, on the first day turnips are traded, have a scammer. This guy was asking for 100k on entry, and then booting people. This is why entry fees are against the rules. Use your turnip! Think before you act.

If people are acting fishy, push the report button.

User and his alt are banned.

u/Zane2638

u/Hosea-Mathews

Same guy came back as u/Photosepticon

Be very careful of anyone called Zane. His current island is Euphoria, but he'll probably reset. He's a scammer.

Aaaand we have a second one. This time his listed price is nothing like the actual price.

u/epictofu has a temp ban. He says it was an error. Use your own judgement. Personally, I have marked this guy as DNT.

Evidence, because he WILL delete.

u/jesuslovesurmom pulled the same trick.

REMEMBER r/ACBanhammer has records of everyone who is permabanned, with reasons and evidence. It will give hits if you google a Friend Code, but everyone has new codes. It's like a giant refresh for jerks, so if you are not a jerk, please be smart and don't fall for these guys and their shenanigans.

I don't know what to do with you people. This guy posts a thread asking for an entry fee, and 138 people jump right in before one person reports the thread. Thread was up for an hour; no evidence anyone got to sell. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be a little bit more cautious.

/u/Prestige027 is permanently banned for extorting people in PM and having an obviously bogus friend code (0001-0002-0003).

He'll probably try coming back with an alt. Guys, input the seller's FC on your Switch to see if it's real.

It looks like we have a fair few new people coming in, and mods have seen some pretty disgraceful behaviour, so I will once again draw your attention to the short rules. Longer rules and advice are available in the wiki.

Reminder also to new people: entry fees are against the rules to discourage scammers, not to discourage tipping. You should definitely tip your host. Bells, turnips or Nook Miles Tickets (NMT) are good tips. If you are tipping bells, 10% is a good guideline.

Don't tip bullshit like furniture you don't want, or fossils. No one wants your discarded crap. If you wouldn't like to receive it, don't give it.

If you want to tip more unusual items, go for stuff people would want, like rarer crafting materials or real art. Otherwise, stick to bells.

I have stickied a mod comment on this thread which I am going to use to name people who come to our attention as non-tippers. So, fair warning, don't report it as "targeted harassment" either. You don't tip, take your medicine.

ETA: There are people posting in this thread saying they "usually" tip, but these people have no flairs, so they clearly are not commenting in order to get into towns. If y'all are letting in people without knowing their reddit usernames and without having them comment so you can see their character and island details from the flair, I can see why you are having so many risky interactions. These requirements are here to help you not get scammed, people!

CLOSED! Thanks everyone!

I know it’s not super high but figured I’d post anyhow. Comment your favorite season to join the queue! Multiple trips are welcome, just give me a heads-up when I send chat, please.

Letting in 3 people at a time. Nooks has yellow striped bathing suit & flowers surfboard! No diving please - if anyone is found diving the session will be ended. Please leave thru airport afterwards!
