A new and important payment system that has been added to Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the Nook Miles. With these you unlock certain items or blueprints. Here you can find out how you can get Nook Miles and what you get in return.

Animal Crossing New Horizons: What You Get Nook Miles For

With Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you will receive Nook Miles on your Nookphone right from the start. After you have paid off your "Ripe for the Island Package" with 5000 miles, you also activate the "Nook Miles +" function. With Miles + you can receive an unlimited number of miles every day. To do this, you have to do tasks like "Water 8 Flowers" or "Have 3 Fossils Identified". They repeat themselves over and over again. In contrast, you only receive the normal miles for one-time achievements. These are usually staggered so that there can be miles for the first, tenth or 100th repetition of a thing. Some important such milestones are:

"Island name" in sight !: You will receive this achievement automatically after you have entered and named your island.

Fishing master: All you have to do is catch fish. From 10 fish the first miles are awarded, for the 5,000. Fish the last.

Social Animal: You should say hello to all of your neighbors every day, because they earn miles for this too. There are miles for the first, tenth, 20th, 30th and 50th day in a row.

It is the resident himself: here you need to learn handicraft instructions. Instructions can be found at the booth in bottles, gifts hanging on balloons, or you can get them from neighbors.

Self-made brand: the more tools you make, the more miles you get.

On the wrong track: These miles are also very easy to earn by simply chopping wood and collecting it.

Steinreich: You only have to do one thing for this, it is all the more difficult. You have to manage to cut a stone eight times in a row and receive materials each time.

There is a trick, however: stand right in front of the stone. Now dig a hole directly behind you and another one on either side of it. If you now turn back to the stone, you have a row of holes in the back. This prevents them from being thrown back when hitting the stone and thus losing valuable time.

Photo friend: You will receive this achievement when you have taken a photo with your Nookphone camera.

Who Bothered the Wasp ...: For this painful milestone, you have to be stung by wasps twice in a row. These sometimes appear when you shake trees.

What you can spend Nook Miles on

You can redeem your Nook miles at three different locations: at the airport, at the jetty and at the ATM in the service center.

For example, you can spend 2000 miles on a plane ticket at an ATM. With the ticket you go to the airport and can fly to a randomly generated island.

Since the update 2.0 it is also possible to meet the captains on the jetty. He will take you to other islands for 1000 miles in his boat.

However, most of the options are available in the service center. There you can get exciting objects under "Redeem Nook Miles".

For example, you can get new hairstyles, decorative items for your island or construction plans. You can then use it to try out cool hairstyles on the mirror or build a giant robot.

With the new update, a large number of new items have been activated that you can order directly from the machine and have them sent to your home.

Objects such as lanterns, vending machines, lighthouse and rotating carousel are now joined by a pavilion, ferris wheel and flower bed.
