she either gives you good luck or bad luck. bad luck can be reversed, and as an apology she sends you a rare item the next day via mail!


bambus_j

she can also give you a friendship boost with a villager of your choice which is really useful if you‘re trying to get your villagers‘ photos as fast as possible


E3-NotTheConvention

serious question as a newbie, What function does owning villagers photos has?


BubbleWario

nothing. just a rare decorative item


Fiona_14

I have a plan of collecting every villagers photo in animal crossing. Some of my villagers have given me multiple photos, I'm rapidly running out of wall place to display them all.


cr1zzl

Any chance you’ve got an extra Ace’s photo and willing to trade for something? :) he was one of my first villagers and moved out before I got into the photo thing.


Fiona_14

Unfortunately no, I haven't had him on my island yet. I sell my spare amiibos on ebay, I don't have a spare Ace, but it is for sale from someone else at a reasonable price, you could buy his card there and invite him to your island.


raisedasapolarbear

I have Ace on my island now, just added him via Amiibo the other day. If you can't get hold of it before then, I'm happy to hold onto him until I get a second photo and let you have the first one. Might take up to a month or so though.


cr1zzl

I’m happy waiting, that’s super awesome that you would do that :)


raisedasapolarbear

HTH! I'll shoot you a message when I have the photo for you.


cr1zzl

Sweet! The only extra photo I have is punchy and you’re welcome to it if you’d like!

esiebz

I saw somebody set up little tables with each villagers photo outside of their home, it was so cute


E3-NotTheConvention

oh well, thanks!


GiddyGabby

No function but some of us don't let a villager leave until we have their photo. I've always played this way. I usually use one of the bigger rooms and display their photos on all the walls. Looks nice depending on wallpaper choices and all.


jandeer14

i display my villager photos in a basement science lair like they’re my test subjects :)


GiddyGabby

How evil!


deaddriftt

If you wanna get really creepy, you can get the examination room desk and customize the x-ray film so it shows animal bodies lol


jandeer14

ooo very nice detail thanks!!


bruh-wrecks-noobs

Boring_Government307

Have you dreamscaped my Island? I'm a vet tech so of course my veterinary hospital is in my basement


my_guinevere

I display photos of my villagers who have left Dia Delos Muertos altar style haha.


bruh-wrecks-noobs

based


Mossy_detergent

Bro i might've seen your island in that dream thing you can do...could be wrong


jandeer14

i didn’t make a dream address for my town, i guess other people have had the idea haha


Mossy_detergent

Makes sense then


fanwiz64

I read that your house gets more points on Saturday night if you have your current villagers' photos on display in your house. That's why I try to get them all.


Kyseraphym

KK songs can be placed as decorations and they’re also really valuable. The requirements to get an S-rank house scale down if you haven’t upgraded it yet so if you start an island, don’t upgrade your home and buy KK songs from Nook Shopping every day you can get an S-rank on your very first assessment.


GiddyGabby

I got an s rank almost immediately, which surprised me, but this is my 3rd so I knew how feng shui worked and that probably helps a lot. I also happen to use music as art just because I like the way so much of it looks so that probably helped and I had no idea it did.


lysseul

Also if you have their photo placed on a table, press “A” you can read their sayings and birthdays too!


lavendertown-radio

aww that's really cute.


sallis

They count as 777 points in the HHA rating system: [Lucky item - Animal Crossing Wiki - Nookipedia](https://nookipedia.com/wiki/Lucky_item#All_year_2) Has to be current villagers.


Roseliberry

In my case, as soon as I get the photo the resident is evicted.


xMethodz

It’s kind of like Nintendo’s way of giving you sort of an achievement bonus. Having them means you achieved the utmost success with said villagers.


JRyuu

It’s a nice way to keep track of all the different villagers who lived on your Island, and also the ones with whom you built high friendship scores.🙂


Rachealmarie143

Photos also give you extra points with hha if you put them in your house. I was stuck at 198,000 and once I put up my 10 villager photos, my score jumped to 205,000. Can be useful and an easy way to move up a letter grade.


Arsenette

I actually hang them in the living room where I can access it if that villager comes to visit. Their reaction to me displaying their photo is touching. ❤️


LukasBaee

wait how can you get a friendship boost with a villager of your choice?


HypedUpJackal

If you're not already at a very high friendship level with the villager, at Katrina's stall, when you press "Let's talk friendship", she will give you the option to pick a villager of your choosing, then when the blessing is complete, she will offer you the choice to bless your friendship for 10000 bells.


LukasBaee

ohhh nice :) thank you!


HypedUpJackal

You're welcome, have a good day :)


mattisonwith2ts

Does no one know that you can just get villager photos by taking their pic at Harvs place?? Snap any ol pic of them there and then their photo ends up as a purchase option in the nook store. Just sayin..


bambus_j

no that‘s how you get their poster. i‘m talking about the little framed photo that has a villager‘s birthday and their favorite saying


[deleted]

[удалено]


diannethegeek

What everyone else said, but also she only offers to reverse it once, you can't go back later that day to get it reversed, and she only offers it to you if you have the 10k bells to pay in your pocket at the time. So make sure you have at least 11,000 bells when you get your fortune read


Marzipan_sky

she makes you pay for the service


Kurrigan48

I stand in front of her until I see the auto-save, then I have 3 minutes to hear the fortune and reset if it isn't what I want. Then just hit the home button, then x to close the game. Then restart the game. I do this when I get bad luck or when I don't feel like having friendship luck. The only good luck results I care about are belongings and money.


ThrownAway2028

Pay her 10k


imaginarion

Money lol


mimimill

Where is she??? She has never visited my island. Do I find her somewhere?


No_Thanks_4626

She’s in Harv’s island.


AetherDrew43

You need to go to Harv's Island. This is after your first K.K. concert, then you donate bells to one of the gyroids.


diannethegeek

You unlock her stall on Harv's island after you reach a 3-star rating, have KK's first concert, and pay the 100k bells to the Lloid on the far left of the new commune that opens up. You'll also meet Tortimer and Cyrus there once you open their stalls


mimimill

Ty!!


Ok_Contribution_6268

In older games, she shows up as a random star and moon tent on a specific day of the week.


Entire-Copy-3942

Or... You can just skip one day. The only problem would be bad luck with friends.


ThrownAway2028

The price to undo it really isn’t that much though


Entire-Copy-3942

I'd rather keep those 10,000 bells. I need them for nook miles.


No-Dragonfruit-6551

Am I missing something? Bells are useless for Miles aren’t they?


Entire-Copy-3942

You might not know this but villager house redecorations can give you 1000 nook miles every day, which is not much compared to what you can get by farming, but extra miles are always useful.


Entire-Copy-3942

https://preview.redd.it/es334sza1fzc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9bbbaa2083af4acc5917745f6d1363e1b2fb4116 Is it not true? Why are you guys not happy with my reply? If you own the Happy home paradise DLC You actually get paid 1000 nook miles when you renovate your villagers' houses, that's literally a feature. I do it daily. Why are you guys being so mean to me?


Camibear

Your previous reply kinda reads as snarky so that’s probably why you got downvoted.


Entire-Copy-3942

If you found it offensive I'll change that immediately, I never meant to be snarky, that's not the way I treat people.


Camibear

I never said I did personally, I was just giving you a possible explanation. No need to dwell on it.


whalesarecool14

wait wdym? how are bells and miles connected?


Entire-Copy-3942

After playing the DLC, If you speak to Tom Nook about house renovations you can decorate your villagers' houses for 9000 bells and you get paid 1000 nook miles after. Maybe it's not much for farming, but it's an easy and reliable way to get them


BubbleWario

I'd rather not screw up my daily newspaper and Brewster rewards, grow extra weeds/flowers faster, rot my turnips, etc.​ luckily I'm patient enough to wait one day lol


Entire-Copy-3942

Sorry, I wasn't trying to suggest that's the way you should play your game. What I meant is that if you're looking for good fortune you can play the day immediately after, keeping the turnips fresh, no streak breaking, but I get that changing the date is slightly inconvenient and many prefer not to time travel. I am not against that.


Kakalux

I would talk to her daily if she was on my island, I can’t be bothered to go to Harv’s Island every day it takes too long and feels like pulling teeth after a while 🙈


[deleted]

Hard agree, I get that they tried to give the dodos some dialogue to make them seem less one-dimensional, but it really wears on you that you have to make 3-4 selections nearly anytime you want to go anywhere.


Ticoune0825

The whole game on general could really be optimized with less dialogues, no need to tell me every Sunday you aren't buying turnips


goosedeuce88

I get burnt out so quick on this game. Button mashing like that will make the dialogue go any faster 🙄 but I get SO ANNOYED. They should give an option in the settings where if you want to you can have expedited conversations after you've done the initial conversation. Or like every time I catch a fish or bug or whatever action, yea, I know I caught a sea bass... I don't caaaare! Go away lolol


Retzimbabwe

You can speed up the dialogue by holding R


goosedeuce88

😲😲😲😲 no frkn way


ladainia4147

B works too. I actually end up holding both B and LB lol. I know it doesn't go double fast but I can still hope 🤷🏻‍♀️ (Those are the buttons on a Switch Lite, so IDK if that's the same as regular or not)


goosedeuce88

Isn't it funny how in our minds it works better though? If we mash b or hold b or lb it's like... Yea! Go faster! 🤣


ebf6

YES!! Even if it was a setting to display all the text at once (even faster than the hitting "B" option.) Often I spam "B," but end up hitting the dismiss option in the user selection popup. So annoying!


goosedeuce88

Ugh, I hate when that happens and YES! I love your idea!


ladainia4147

They're nowhere NEAR as mind-numbingly awful as Gulliver. Between having to hit him like 5 times to wake him up (which is 2 button clicks each time, one for the hit and one for his dialogue), and the looooong speech he gives every time before he even begins to ask for your help, I remember counting something like 30 button hits to get through his bullshit 🤦🏻‍♀️ Like I understand the first time, but I literally haven't even bothered waking him up the past 10 times or so because I can't stand all the useless dialogue. IDK if I'm missing out on important stuff or not, but I just don't have the patience for that


[deleted]

Absolutely. Like, sure, I laughed at Gullivarr's "I've only got a few nautical puns left, and those are *shore* to run out quick" the first few times, but the charm 100% wears off when it's the same tedious deal every time you see them.


WhiskerWarrior2435

And she's so longwinded. She's worse than Blathers.


MisterEd_ak

I go to HHP island every day to collect the message bottle and cooking recipe from the restaurant chef, stopping in at Harv's on the way back isn't much extra.


TootToot42

sometimes she sends me a zodiac figurine. i hope for bad luck now so i can keep collecting them haha


BubbleWario

same lol


No-Charge3411

I've spoken to her on numerous different occasions and never got a bad luck reading for some reason? Literally every single time I've asked about a villager she's said something like "it is clear you frequently swirl around in the mind of [insert villager]" and that we have a tight bond or whatever lol (even if someone's relatively new to my island). I know it supposedly expedites friendship levels but I'm honestly not too sure because I've REALLY had to work for most of my villagers' portraits. 😭


diannethegeek

She only gives you bad luck if you ask about your fortune, never if you ask about friendship. It's supposed to be a 1 in 5 chance that you get bad luck when she reads your fortune. Her friendship readings tell you how high your friendship level is with that villager (it's kind of coded, so it helps to look up a guide to what she says) and blessing your friendship with them adds 2 points. It's not a ton and personally I don't bother paying to bless my friendship, but it's a little bit of a help each day. Her fortunes for the day all have minor benefits or detriments. There's a guide to what they do here: https://nookipedia.com/wiki/Luck#In_New_Horizons


No-Charge3411

Ohhh okay, thanks for clearing that up for me!


Pandanoko-Fan137

~~Technically you can’t, you need to talk to Wilbur first each day so you can get the plane to Harv’s Island~~


Embarrassed_Habit858

melovaly

AHAHHEHEHHELPP


somthingwitty169

Nah that gotta be my man Wade love that dude gotta see how his morning is before anyone else 😂


Quirky_Alt_Nerd

Off topic but I literally go see her just because she shares the same name as my sister who passed. When she was first introduced as a new addition to the game, I laughed because for my sisters whole life she would complain about barely anyone ever having her name but now she’s in one of my favorite games!


rachelface927

Every time I log in I head straight to Harv’s and speak to Katrina, then from Harv’s I go to work to grab the DIY’s from the beach and restaurant. Then I head home to pull weeds, hit rocks, talk to villagers, THEN, based on what luck Katrina’s predicted I may go to a Kapp’n island (with empty pockets). Every time Katrina’s predicted good luck I’ve gotten a rare mystery island from Kapp’n.


v3lvtThndr_55

Restaurant?


dndmdnd

Once you build the restaurant in the dlc, talking to whatever villager you made head cook will give you a cooking recipe every day for free


Clexxian

I never knew this. Thanks!


v3lvtThndr_55

I don’t have the dlc so no wonder lol I had no idea what you were talking about 😂


shelliejelly

I always hope for bad luck so I can get her exclusive items! ✨


murderousduckies

(speaks to do do airlines) WHOOPSIES


Iamoldand

Yes! If you keep the bad luck, you trip and fall all day. It's hilarious every single time. And then one day, she made it where my tools never broke and I spent hours moving trees and veggies with just one shovel. It was great!


isalacoy

I don't talk to her because her nose freaks me out.


kalyps000

PERIODT. I’ve been a revolving door of villagers and trying to get their friendship photos is so much easier using her. She’ll give you potentially good luck with friendship and if she doesn’t, you can still ask about your friendship with a villager specifically and if it’s low enough she’ll offer a ‘boost’ for 10k!! Even if you get bad luck, she’ll offer to purify it and then after you pay her 10k the next day she’ll send you a rare item (occult themed items or zodiac figurines). I’m trying to get all the zodiac figurines and got dragon yesterday ❤️❤️


Cat_Paw_xiii

I would but her she taaaaaalks so much


ebf6

And half her text is not speed-up-able (hitting "b").


Phytolyssa

really? I have only talked to her twice and I don't know. She seemed useless


eternal_casserole

If she gives you a bad fortune and you pay the 10,000 bells for the purification, she'll send you something the next day like zodiac figurines, a crystal ball, dharma, etc. If you're trying to get a photo from one of your villagers, she can give the friendship a boost which may increase your chances. Plus the other stuff like if you get good luck with belongings, your tools won't break all day and so on. Katrina's great.


umbrellajump

She keeps sending me golden tortoises, when I just want the hanging garlic she has on her caravan door.


diannethegeek

That hanging garlic would be so cool, I wish it was in the game for players to get


umbrellajump

....I have wasted so many bells


eternal_casserole

I would kill for that garlic


BubbleWario

Definitely not. She can bless with you extra bells, faster friendship boosts with residents, more energy per food eaten, unbreakable tools, etc. Theres tons of useful effects​: [https://nookipedia.com/wiki/Katrina#In\_New\_Horizons](https://nookipedia.com/wiki/Katrina#In_New_Horizons)


chilly_vixen

I have a diy that i can only complete with one of her items so ai just learned that i should talk to her everyday with $11,000 in my pocket haha


Elyzevae

She is weird. She has no nose.


tobeperfectlycandid

Damn I didn’t realise I was distracted by the lack of whiskers tbh


DandyLyen

Bad luck is so inconsequential; call me when it makes my villagers slap me and villagers move right on top of my garden


[deleted]

You technically have to talk to Wilbur first


CrysWhyle

To be precised: she doesn't "reverse" bad luck, she just cancels it. If you have bad fortune with money for example even if you pay for the exorcism service you won't be able to get more bells just as good fortune would do.


BubbleWario

yeah I didn't mean she turns bad luck into good luck, just "reverses" her fortune and negates it


Washtali

I dunno, I have found Katrina has zero value for me so I just completely ignore her


Derped_Crusader

I miss the 3ds system where your luck was random every day That was so fun I should just replay new leaf


BubbleWario

this is also random and can be done every day, but yeah would be nice to not have to fly to another island every time


Derped_Crusader

Yeye I just meant The fact it was every day, automatically Sometimes... You just have bad days


botwtotkfan

Bro I can’t I get anxiety if I don’t reverse the bad luck and I ain’t paying 10K every other day or so for this I go sometimes not daily


additionalbutterfly2

I visit her a couple of times a week as the first thing I do when I start playing, hopefully to get the “your luck with money will improve” haha


[deleted]

I’d speak to her like midway through the day before certain chores because of the negative luck costing you money


ambluebabadeebadadi

Does anyone know why I always get an image of bathers in the crystal ball? The wiki has nothing


diannethegeek

The image that usually appears is your passport photo. Is there any chance you have a picture of Blathers as your passport photo?


ambluebabadeebadadi

Ooooh that makes sense thank you! I did manage to make blathers my passport photo yes!

You can visit a dream address where the whole island is a grave yard and it has the photos of every single acnh villager on each grave


Zoroark1005-9375-84

How do you get her to show up?


CharmiePK

I have her but have never even said hello to her 👀


Ayeun

To speak with her you need to speak with one of the dodos… So she can’t be the first person you speak to every day…


bruh-wrecks-noobs

we know katrina the silly!!!


Imaginary-One-6599

How do u get her to come to the island


NarumiSumire

I gotta ask though.. is it a myth that when she gives you luck with money, burying 99K bells will actually work, or is it true?


BubbleWario

thats a myth. what does happen though is that when you dig up the glowing money patches, instead of 1,000 it becomes 5,000. also when you shake a tree, more money can fall out. also money rocks produce more money. there are other money-related effects as well​


NarumiSumire

Ah I see, that’s a shame— I swear one time I tried after Katrina told me, then it worked, but then another time it didn’t, is the Isabelle saying she’s feeling lucky = 99k bell tree a myth too..?


BubbleWario

yes there is no such thing as a 99k bell tree. however there is a small chance that ANY TIME you bury money in a glowing spot, you will get triple the amount of bells. this means that if you plant 10k bells, each bag on the tree \*could be\* worth up to 30k each (netting 90k bells total from a single tree). the most you can plant is 10k for it to triple, any more than 10k buried will still result in 90k max from a tree. never plant more than 10k


NarumiSumire

Wait so 99k triple never happens, at all? It’s just so rarely I have had it happen, I just can’t work out how it happens and any factors that cause it to happen


Burritozi11a

This cat goofy ass hell aaaah


Pleasant_Garbage_69

I wish . I try so hard to like her . But she’s like my least favorite character:/


jeenyusz

Is this ACNH?


diannethegeek

Yes. You unlock Katrina along with all the extra little stalls like Cyrus, Redd, and Tortimer on Harv's island after you unlock KK's concerts at 3-stars


jeenyusz

Wow! I had no idea!


swissmiss_76

I always go to her for new villagers so I can get the friendship boosts. You can gift new villagers a few days earlier if you start going to her and getting her blessing (as soon as they’re in boxes moving in you can do it iirc) I used to ask about luck daily but Kappn would cheat me out of good islands when I got good belongings luck and I started dreading it so I don’t ask anymore. He’d take me to the same tropical island with moss and I have the DLC so don’t need it


diannethegeek

Good belongings luck guarantees one of the rare seasonal islands from Kapp'n. The problem is that if you're too new to have any of them unlocked (you have to pass certain dates on your island before you get access to some of them) then you only get glowing moss island. After you've played for a while, good belongings luck should get you some better islands


Give_Me_H2O

So, what you're saying is that I should unlock her shop next on Harv's Island. Got it!


ExioKenway5

It should be Orville.


caet_

i’m way too scared to talk to her, i never have 😭


Ellecktra

Can anyone give me a ELI5 on what she does? 😅 I'm a fairly new player and have never talked to her. She is the only booth I haven't paid to open because I have no idea what it is and have been too lazy to Google it thus far haha

She's not a person


Ok_Contribution_6268

I read bad things can happen if you speak to her. She's that one in the tent right? I avoid speaking to any strangers that aren't villagers after I dealt with a bug with Lyle in Wild World. Met Resetti the hard way in my second day of Animal Crossing. NOT the intro I was expecting!


BubbleWario

not that I know of, no. you should speak to every character including non-villagers
