How do you find Wisp to bring your amiibo to life in Animal Crossing: New Leaf?

Thanks to the 'Welcome Amiibo' update, you can now use your amiibo in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. You can invite them to the campsite, buy items from them, or even invite them to live in your town. But it's not that simple! First, you need to find a new NPC named Wisp.
First things first, download the 'Welcome Amiibo' update.
You'll need to wait until the day after the update to find him. On the second day, wander around your town. (Sometimes you can find him quite quickly, and other times it might take a bit longer; just keep searching, his location is always random). Suddenly, Wisp will start talking to you and give you hints about where his lamp is hidden. Pick up the lamp and take it back to your house. Find a spot for it. From now on, you can use your amiibo by talking to Wisp.

How can I quickly make money in Animal Crossing: New Leaf?

Want to earn some quick cash? Here are two methods:
Method 1: Turnips.
You can buy these tubers from a pig that wanders through your village on Sundays. The next day, head over to ReTail (the pink llama) and ask about Turnip prices. If the prices are higher than what you paid, you can sell all your turnips for a profit! If not, just hold onto them. You can check again the next day until the price is high enough. Just remember: sell them before the next Sunday, or they’ll all go bad!
Method 2: Boat trip (easier)
The second method is a bit simpler: A few days after you start the game, you’ll find a boat on the beach by the pier. Kapp'n will be on board. Ask him for a boat trip and pay him 1000 bells. He’ll take you to a tropical island where you can find all sorts of rare items and play mini-games. From the house where you arrive, head down and go outside. Immediately to your right, there’s a gyroid (a little brown figure) where you can borrow various items. All you need now is a net. Once you have that, you can catch the insects that live on the island. They’re worth a lot of money! Focus on the beetles that live on the palm trees, as they can sell for between 5000 and 12000 bells each! Bring all the beetles back to the hut and store them in the box next to the counter. This way, you can take them home with you. Once the box is full, ask the woman at the counter to take you back home, and once you’re back, you can sell all the beetles to the llama for a huge amount!!! Good luck :)

How do I find the money rocks and ore in Animal Crossing: New Leaf?

Every day, there's a rock hiding some money in it. Hit the rocks with your shovel each day until you find the money rock in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. If a coin pops out, be sure to hit it again quickly until the rock is empty. There's also a rock each day that contains ore. These are worth a lot of money, but you can also use them to change the colour of your furniture.
Personal tip:
What is the most important thing to remember in Animal Crossing: New Leaf?
The most important thing to remember in Animal Crossing: New Leaf is that you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. You may be the mayor of the town, but you’re the one in charge. Whether you’re busy creating the perfect living environment or prefer to sit back and watch the world go by, the key takeaway is that nothing is mandatory. Seriously, nothing is!
To truly enjoy this game, you should try to find your own path at your own pace. Don’t rush, experience life, and decide for yourself how much or how little you want to do. That’s how it works in Animal Crossing: New Leaf!

Easter Eggs and Glitches:
How can you find Totaka's song in Animal Crossing New Leaf?
| Timtamtomg |
| 2162 |
In several Nintendo games, you can hear Totaka's song. This is a melody that Kazumi Totaka (a sound director at Nintendo) has hidden in various games. It's also featured in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and even multiple times! The easiest way to hear it is in Club LOL. Head there after 8 PM (any day will do, just not Saturday). There, the dog KK Slider will be playing his disco music. Just hang around and listen to the tunes, and eventually, you'll hear the melody! You can also check it out in the YouTube video.
Another way to hear it is by going on a Saturday. KK Slider will then play a special song just for you. Talk to him (again, after 8 PM) and say you have a request. Type in K.K. Song, and he will play Totaka's Song! Once the song is over, he'll even give you a CD of the track that you can listen to at home on your CD player!
And there's one more way, but this one is really tricky. First, you need a Club Tortimer Membership, which you can only get on the tropical island. Once you have that, take Kapp'n's boat to Tortimer Island. Now here's the catch: while you're sailing to that island, make sure your 3DS has a poor internet connection. Keep it around one bar. Kapp'n will keep singing his song, and after about 2 minutes, you'll finally hear the secret Totaka's Song.

What are the secret songs in Animal Crossing: New Leaf?
There are four (actually just three) secret songs in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
One song you can get by visiting K.K. Slider on the Saturday before your birthday. He will play K.K. Birthday for you. The next day, you'll find a letter in your mailbox with the song.
The other three can only be requested: Hypno K.K., K.K. Stroll, and K.K. Island.

P.S.S.: Check out the YouTube video for the songs (also take a look at the description).
Personal tip:
How can I test a stingy rubbish fisherman?
Just when you're enjoying a nice fishing session, you hook a shoe or some other rubbish! Annoying, but what's even worse is that you have to pay to get rid of it! Luckily, there's a more fun and cheaper solution: offload the problem onto your neighbours. Send it to them in a letter as a little gift, and they'll even thank you for it! Four letters are cheaper than the recycling fee, so you're killing two birds with one stone: you save Bells and get back at your neighbours for all that stalking ;-). Just be careful not to end up in a row with them, or you'll have to explain it to John Williams in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
Secrets:

What is the Bell stone and how do you use it in Animal Crossing?
| Kietje |

The Bell Stone (also known as the Money Rock) is a phenomenon that occurs daily in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Hit this stone with a shovel or an axe to make the money pop out. There’s a time limit on collecting Bells, so it’s a good idea to dig a hole next to and behind you. This way, you won’t be pushed back when you hit the stone.

How can you scan and place paths in Animal Crossing: New Leaf?
| Jeske |
| 40 |
| 13 jaar |
Do you want to give your town that extra touch of originality? Then scan some paths at the Able Sisters on Main Street! Not sure what I’m talking about? Let me explain quickly.
If you chat with Sabel at the sewing machine for about 10 days (this doesn’t have to be consecutive; you can have days in between), she will initially be quite distant but will gradually become friendlier until a large sewing machine appears at the back of the shop.
Sabel will explain that she received it from her sister but didn’t know what to do with it. Here, you can scan QR codes that you get from friends. No friends playing this game? No worries! There are plenty of beautiful codes available online to scan!
Once you’ve scanned the codes, you can start placing them. To place paths, go to the design tab, click on the design you want to place, and the pattern will appear beneath you.
Voila! Enjoy the beautiful paths in your town in Animal Crossing: New Leaf!
Personal tip:
How can I quickly earn Bells in Animal Crossing: New Leaf?
As the title suggests; Do you need Bells quickly? Then take your shovel and hit the rocks scattered around your town in Animal Crossing: New Leaf! There’s one rock that contains a lot of Bells. Additionally, you can try to find the 'rascal' rock, which is a rock that normally doesn’t appear in your town. If you manage to find it, you’ll receive a shiny gem. You can sell this at Re-Tail. You might also get invited on a sweet trip to Tortimer Island. Such a trip can be very lucrative, as you can catch fish and bugs here that are worth a lot back home. If you’re really strapped for cash, you can always sell some of your belongings! You can buy these items back later, unless they are unique items you received from the ticket in the fortune cookies.
Personal tip:
How can I perfect my town with the help of Isabelle in Animal Crossing: New Leaf?
You can go to Isabelle and ask for advice. She’s more than happy to help you perfect your town. For instance, she’ll tell you what the residents think and what they’d like to see. This advice comes in handy when creating the perfect town, if you agree, of course! Remember: It’s not essential, but fulfilling the residents' wishes will have its benefits!
What the citizens often desire are trees and plants in the town. You can plant these to brighten up the place and add some colour. Here’s a little tip: If you use 'Make Your Town Beautiful' at the Town Hall in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, you won’t necessarily have to water the plants. Starting projects, recycling at Re-Tail, and weeding are also some examples.
It takes a while to find the perfect balance, so don’t give up and keep striving to make your town just right. Good luck!
