Animal Crossing: How to Grow Balloons
If you like Animal Crossing balloons, then you need as many of them as possible, right?
Balloons is one of the additions that players will experience in Animal Crossing: New Horizons . There is a hot air balloon a gift and you can use the slingshot to shoot him. They drop clothes, furniture, bells and rare home recipes, so you might want to look for them.
These balloons are the only way to get unique DIY recipes during some events and this leads to the question of how to farm balloons. There are a few tips and tricks, as well as a proven method that the pros often use to collect lots of balloons!
Where Do They Spawn?
The balloons can spawn from any direction on the island, but you only need to look in one direction in one day. Keep in mind that the spawn points change every sunset, and some report that it happens at 6am and 6pm. You can watch the spawn point, as this is where the balloons will spawn.
Stroll On The Beach
Once you know which side the balloons are flying from, you can walk along the beach. The best way to find them is to listen for them, as there is a telltale whistle that means someone is nearby.
If you know that one of them should appear soon, run along the beach from the direction of its spawning to find it. You should also be aware that the color of the balloon sometimes indicates what is inside, but this is not always a guarantee.
Watch Time
A new balloon will spawn every 3th and 14th minutes, but you may not see them until the 3th and 19th minutes. For example, balloons will appear at 3:15 and 3:20, but you may not see them until XNUMX:XNUMX and XNUMX:XNUMX.
Current Wind Direction
You need to consider the direction of the wind, as this can change the course of the balloon as it travels over your island. It's worth taking the time to watch one hot air balloon for a minute to know where the wind will take them. This is the line you want to follow if you happen to be on the other side of the island, trying to catch the rarest fish during spawning and you want to know where she is likely to end up.
High Wall Trick
One trick players have discovered is that using a high wall can change the direction of the balloon, as the balloons change course when they hit a building. It is recommended once you know where they spawn to build a wall the entire length of your island and most people use prison bars or a climbing wall.
The balloon will hit this wall and change its course to the south, so all you have to do is stand at the end and wait to shoot it down.
