My Trip to Star Fragment Island
Alright, so I gotta share this little adventure I had in Animal Crossing. Heard folks talking about a special island you can sometimes find using those Nook Miles Tickets, one loaded with star bits. Sounded kinda like a myth, you know? But I had a stack of Nook Miles piling up, figured, why not give it a shot.
First thing, had to clear out my pockets. Seriously, learned my lesson before – nothing worse than finding cool stuff and having no room. Left tools I didn’t absolutely need, dumped all the random junk I carry. Then I headed over to the Nook Stop terminal, printed out maybe ten, fifteen Nook Miles Tickets. Felt like a bit of a gamble, those things ain’t cheap mile-wise.
Off to the airport I went. Orville set me up, and Wilbur flew me out. First island? Just peaches. Got plenty of those. Flew back, grabbed another ticket, went again. Bamboo island. Okay, useful sometimes, but not what I was looking for. Took a few more tries, honestly. Saw my regular old fruit again, another island that was just… normal. Was starting to think it was a waste of time and miles.
Then, on maybe the fifth or sixth ticket, things looked different when I landed. It was night, which happens sometimes, but the rocks… they looked odd. Gave one a smack with my shovel, just out of habit. And boom! Instead of iron or stone, out popped a star fragment. Then another! Hit all the rocks on the island, same thing.
Here’s what I remember doing:
- Whacking every single rock. They all gave star fragments instead of the usual stuff. Got mostly the regular yellow ones, but also a few large fragments, which was sweet.
- Walking the beaches. Found more star fragments just washed up on the sand, like shells. Picked up a bunch of those too.
- Checked around for Celeste, sometimes she’s on special islands, but no luck finding her this time. Didn’t see shooting stars either, which I kinda half-expected.
My pockets filled up super fast. Had to drop some weeds I accidentally picked up just to make more room for the star bits. Spent a good while there, just running around hitting rocks and combing the beach until I was sure I got everything.
Flew back home feeling pretty chuffed. Unloaded everything, ended up with a really decent pile of star fragments, way more than I usually get even after a heavy meteor shower night. Got a good stash of regular fragments, maybe five or six large fragments, and even snagged two Aries fragments, which was perfect ’cause that was the current zodiac season.
So yeah, star fragment island is real. Seems totally random though, pure luck finding it. Cost a fair few Nook Miles just to get there, but totally worth it for the haul. Definitely keeping my miles saved up to try again sometime, you never know.
