9 Things To Do To Start Your Island Adventure In Animal Crossing: New Horizons

9. Earn Miles

As soon as you arrive on your newly named island with your fresh faced islander, Tom Nook, the resident capitalist tycoon tanooki reminds you of your debt. However, since you have no money to your name at the start of the game, he offers you a Nook Miles scheme in order to pay off your Getaway Package. These Miles can be earned by doing simple tasks on the island such as catching a variety of fish, finding new bugs or even just buying and selling items.

In order to progress through the game and start earning better rewards you're going to want to start working on your Nook Miles ASAP. These miles are earned through almost every aspect of gameplay and can be collected by completing the challenges found on your app such as filling out your critterpedia. The more challenges you complete, the more will become available and you will also get daily login bonuses for using the ABD.

Once you've paid off your loan, you can continue to collect the Nook Miles and use them to buy DIY recipes, upgrades to your storage capacity, furniture or clothing. But you can also use them to buy tickets to travel to other islands on Mystery Tours. Every reward unlocked also grants titles that can be used on your passport. Therefore, the fastest way to get ahead is to start clearing out the challenges in your Nook Miles app as soon as possible in order to earn more to spend more.
