AC Hundo Route (Old 2024 ver with harvest moon dates)

*NOTE: This route is heavily based off of Brian's route which you can find here: https://pastebin.com/kjtF60Jk
My tracker (BLANK VERSION): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bGKG0G3NullMK79PSiK6iIG0cRAlKcKbXPVGfFup09I/edit?usp=sharing

IDEAS:

Introduce yourself to new villagers during fireworks? (might not work since there's villagers at the lake so)
Dump strats? (and police station later)
Pre mark more stuff like harvest table and airmail paper (and more)
After getting 15 villagers/extra bridge, stick to 5 villager codes at a time until someone you know moves out then go back to 10 (if a villager moves out you sent a code to, you won't get the item)
If you get rain in June night then just get firefly later due to getting Nookingtons sooner rather than wasting anotehr Nook n' Go day
Saharah strats??? (get one attempt at seeing her maybe when doing Police Station strats later)

get rid of notes on MY hundo helper bc they're annoying and wel, not neccssary for my own sake

double check wallpaper/carpet color values on console? I changed some but forgot emu miiight be diff idk (also maybe end of furniture list too)

^ everything gotten from grab bags is pulled from your rare list

***July 4th, 2028 7pm***

- Buy full set of pinwheels, balloons, or fans (skip 7:00pm July when you get all of them)

Also when you get 10 villagers, start sending villager codes 10 at a time, one for each villager all at once. It still takes the same amount of time to get 5 letters back but you cut down on post office trips a lot doing this so it's faster. BUT, once you get 15 villagers STOP doing 10 villager codes and stick to the first 5 in the list until someone you met moves out then go back to 10 codes. (because when you send a villager code to a villager then they move out you don't get the item)

BREAKS YOU CAN DO:

- K.K. songs (ENABLE MUSIC BEFOREHAND OTHERWISE IT'S A SOFTLOCK!!!)
- Visit island for the first time to get Aloha shirts [and cabin wall/carpet BUT you need to bring your own wallpaper/carpet to get it; you cannot paste patterns in your island home] (about a minute to get to the island then a minute back)

CODE PRIORTY (after getting all REQUIRED_Codes)

- Autumn Clothing
- Summer Clothing
- Winter Clothing
- All Season Clothing
- Spring Clothing
- Nook Furniture (Wallpaper/Carpets are gotten when you have about 8-10 left in each category of those)
- Gyroids
- Anything Else

1) Summer 1

LOOP THESE UNTIL EXTRA BRIDGE

***December 25th***
***July 4th (7pm if Fireworks items needed; 4:59pm if not)***

Extra Bridge guide:

Talk to new villagers on July 4th then when you introduce yourself to the 15th villager, go one day forward (July 5th) and find Tortimer near the river (random if it's the top middle or bottom portion) then say yes for the 2nd option to build a new bridge then go another day forward (July 6th) to get the bridge

^ Keep in mind that there's a small chance your town's day is on July 5th so if that happens you'll have to go an extra day forward (it's like a 1/30 chance though lol)

Also this goes without saying but if you get rain the day you get the bridge go back to July 4th to get no rain followed by snow the next date for more gyroids

2) Autumn

LOOP WINTER-AUTUMN FOR 5-6 YEARS (check Harvest Moon dates above)

3) Summer 2

LOOP THESE UNTIL END OF 2014

***December 25th***
***July 4th (7pm if Fireworks items needed; 4:59pm if not)***

LOOP THIS UNTIL END OF 2002

***December 25th***
***April 2nd-4th***

5) Back and Forth

LOOP THESE TWO DATES FOR MORE GYROID SPAWNS

***December 30th (24th to get Festive Paper from Home), 2001 4:59pm***
***January 1st/2nd, 2002 4:59pm*** (1st to get New Year's Card, then 2nd afterward)

- When getting to Nook furniture, do a set of 10 villager codes then send 5 villager codes and work on player statues while working on the rest of the codes for Nook furniture (since you're likely done checking nooks at this point):

2nd Debt: 3x Nook Codes & x5 Villager Codes (SAY EXPAND HOME!!! it's slightly faster I think)
3rd Debt: 3x Nook Codes & x5 Villager Codes
4th Debt: 3x Nook Codes & x5 Villager Codes
5th Debt: 3x Nook Codes

- As soon as you're done with Nook furniture, stop doing player statues and dig up gryoids

- BEFORE digging up all the gyroids, have these:

All 601 Furniture (minus any pads you may need/museum model)
All 67 Wallpaper
All 67 Carpet
All 247 Clothing
All 64 Items (minus any umbrellas you may need)
All but 1 Music
(ignore stationery since there's still more villager codes)

- Dig up all the gyroids (ignore redd/lottery items)
BEFORE GOING TO OTHER PLAYER SEND 5 VILLAGER CODES ON MAIN
- Finish all player statues while cleaning up codes for the rest of the gyroids
- On the final player, donate the rest of the stuff for the museum to complete it (to get the museum model you need to do two date switches or one 4:59pm)

^ the reason we do this is because getting the museum model makes you miss a villager code and have to get it the next day (aka 1 delayed villager code)

- After all player statues cleanup the rest of the catalog (mainly stationery if needed)

***Any Saturday at 8pm***
ENABLE MUSIC BEFOREHAND OTHERWISE IT'S A SOFTLOCK!!!

- Request the song "Two Days Ago" to K.K. (or whatever song is last in your list; or if you have them all just say no to a request to end the run)
- GG
