Earning Bells is no small part of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and there are a variety of ways to do it. One way is to use Animal Crossing: New Horizons' turnips to play the stalk market, and while this approach can be a bit risky, it can also produce big returns. For players that are wanting a better understanding of ACNH's take on the stock market before diving in, this guide looks to offer full details.
Playing the stalk market in Animal Crossing: New Horizons begins by talking to Daisy Mae, a vendor that will appear on players' islands every Sunday morning. Upon speaking with Daisy Mae, fans will find that they have the chance to buy turnips (in multiples of 10) at a price that varies from week to week. Once purchased, players will then be looking to resell their turnips, and this must be done before the following Sunday when all purchased turnips will rot and become unsellable.
To sell turnips, players will simply need to speak with the tanukis at Nook's Cranny, as they will be more than happy to take them off a fan's hands on every day except for Sundays. However, this is where the gamble of the stalk market comes into play, as turnip prices in Animal Crossing: New Horizons change twice daily (once at 12pm and once at midnight).
Indeed, Timmy and Tommy will continually offer different amounts of Bells for turnips as the week goes on, and the goal is thus to sell when turnip prices are at their highest. Of course, ACNH players will never know when they are receiving the best weekly offer for turnips, and they will need to decide for themselves when to cash out. While some fans will chose to do so as soon as turnip prices are higher than what they paid for them, others may prefer to risk it and try for an even bigger payday.
To summarize, players that are trying to make Bells through the stalk market should buy turnips low (at around 100 Bells per turnip), check turnip prices frequently at Nook's Cranny, and then sell their turnips for a profit before they rot on the following Sunday. Again, this is all a bit of a gamble, as it is even possible that turnip prices will never exceed what a player paid for them, and fans that are concerned about losing Bells should thus proceed with caution.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now, exclusively for Nintendo Switch.
