Five Types of Luck
There are five categories of luck, and each day you are randomly assigned good, average, or bad luck in each category. Your luck changes at midnight each day. The categories are money luck, friendship luck, love luck, item luck, and physical luck. The effects of goodluck and bad luck in each category are listed below.
How to Improve Bad Luck (a.k.a. How to Stop Tripping)
Invite animal friends to your town. If you strike up a conversation with the ghostly genie Wisp. Dig the hole, then face the hole with your character and select the item in the inventory. Do NOT drag the item to the ground below your character on the screen; use the pop up menu instead. 'Bury' will be an option if you're close enough to the hole.
If you keep tripping and falling, it means that you are having bad physical lucktoday. Other bad luck effects are listed below.One of the only ways to improve bad luck is to wear the lucky item of the day. To find out today's lucky item, you can pay Katrina to tell yourfortune, or you can use the Lovely Phone if you have it. The Lovely Phone canonly be obtained on New Year's Eve by buying fortune cookies from Crazy Redd.
You can also pay Katrina 10000 Bells for one of her lucky hats, which turnsbad luck into average luck. She will only offer a hat if you are having bad luck today. You canforce yourself to have bad luck by wearing a King Tut mask, which is randomlyavailable from the Able Sisters accessory shop. If you pay Katrina 10000 Bells,she will give you either a Tingle Hood or a Celebration Hat. These hats can bereordered from the catalog, so you might want to ask other players to give orsell you one of these hats. So you don't have to pay 10000 Bells for it.
Katrina will open a shop in your Main Street after she has told you 20 fortunes. See theshop unlock guide for more details. After hershop is open, it is much easier to find out your lucky item of the day.
Feng Shui may also influence your luck. Put green items in the southern parts of yourrooms to increase your overall luck. Read the Feng Shui guide for more details.Note that Feng Shui might not be enough to remove bad luck.

Update 26/03/2020: Hello, just in case you've found your way here for information on the Switch Animal Crossing (New Horizons) we've got a few links to get you back on track. Here's how to catch every fish, catch every bug, Create QR codes, earn bells quick, find gold nuggets and more, and finally where to drop your friend code to find new pals to play with online.
Don't be fooled by Animal Crossing: New Leaf's cute and cuddly façade.
Beneath those happy smiles and talking anteaters, there lies an intricate web of economic models and complex systems that would make a Wall Street analyst break out in a cold sweat.
You can build a fruit empire. You can gamble on the turnip stock exchange. You can make a fortune from fish, or make your mint with hybrid flowers.
To help you make the most of your time as mayor of Bumville (or whatever you happen to name your hamlet), we've put together this list of Animal Crossing: New Leaf tips.
These will aid new players and 'Crossing veterans alike, and help you start building your fortune from day one.
1. Hit every rock in your town with a shovel or axe. Each day, one random rock spills out thousands of Bells when you strike it, and another contains a precious piece of ore.
2. For maximum Bells per rock, dig some holes behind you to create a buffer that will stop you being pushed backwards from the ricochet of your shovel. This will slow you and enable you to get even more Bells out of the rock per day.
3. Shake every tree, every day. Some contain Bells, some have furniture jammed in their branches, and others hide rare insects. Watch out for bees, though: hide in a house if you knock down a nest.
4. You'll be randomly assigned a default fruit when you start. This domestic fruit goes for 100 Bells a pop. Foreign fruit, meanwhile, is worth 500, and tropical fruit sells for 250. So..
5. If a neighbour gives you a fruit (or if you bring back fruit from the island), don't sell it. And definitely don't eat it. Instead, bury it to plant a tree that will yield more foreign fruit every few days.
6. A good place to find new tropical fruit is during the island tours. Take a break from your current objective and borrow some fruit from the nearby trees. Remember that you must plant bananas and coconuts on the beach.
7. And if a friend is playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf, too, offer to trade fruit.
8. Each village will grow perfect fruit, which look like gold and are worth loads in the shop. Make sure to plant it to grow a perfect fruit tree, but always plant one of the resulting fruits. This is because perfect trees will die after a few shakes.
9. You can stack fruit into groups of nine. Just drag identical pieces of fruit on top of each other in your inventory.
10. Like their daddy Tom Nook, Timmy and Tommy will upgrade their pokey little Nookling Junction shop if you become a frequent customer. Buy a bunch of items or spend a load of Bells and it will turn into a convenience store.
11. Buy Fortune Cookies from the Nooks every day, as they contain special Nintendo-themed items. You'll need two play coins (you earn one of these for every 100 steps you take while your 3DS is in your pocket) for them.

12. Re-Tail buys items for about 20 percent more Bells than other shops, so don't bother trading your items with the Nook siblings.
13. Read the sign outside Re-Tail. It lists two items that are worth a premium on that day. If they're easier to find, go find them and sell them.
14. You can use the locker in the train station to store stuff until you buy a cabinet (or wardrobe or chest of drawers) in your home. That's especially useful when you're stuck living in a tent.
15. Once you are officially made mayor, you can spend 20,000 to enact city ordinances. You might want to make shops open earlier or later to match your playing schedule.
16. There's also the Bell Boom ordinance to consider. This forces shops to give you more Bells for stuff to boost the economy. This also makes items more expensive, but you can counteract this by buying stuff in a friend's village.
17. The quickest way to build up your mayoral approval rating is by donating to the museum. Fossils, insects, fish, and paintings are all worth a lot to the community.
18. Your first public works project should be a bridge. This will help you traverse your small island more quickly by adding a much-needed extra route across the river.
19. Ask Isabelle for advice, and she'll sell you useful equipment (like a watering can or fishing rod) and give you free items. This is a good place to find your first piece of foreign fruit.
20. Another way to get the watering can is to wait for the gardening shop to open. For this to happen, you'll need to be mayor for five days and plant a tree or flower.
21. If you want a tree to grow, don't plant it in the shadows or too close to another tree. Also, some fruit trees only grow on sand (bananas, for example), while others must be rooted in grass.
22. You can make hybrid flowers, which are worth more in the shop. To do this, put two flowers of the same genus but of different colour (such as two roses) in the spaces next to each other.

23. Every Sunday, Joan will visit your town and sell you batches of ten turnips at a random price. From Monday to Saturday, you can then sell them at Re-Tail. The buying price changes every day, though, so you'll have to check in daily. Turnips go rotten in a week, so don't wait too long.
24. Take any fossils you dig up to the museum and get them appraised. You can then donate the ones the museum doesn't have, and sell any duplicates.
25. Different types of fish live in the river, the ocean, and the small holding ponds around the village. The ocean is your best bet for finding animals that are worth loads of cash.

26. Pay off your first house loan as soon as possible to get access to the island. The island is the best place to make money. It's buzzing with rare insects, fish, and deep sea critters that will make you a fortune back home.
27. The only place to find a wetsuit is in the shop on the island. It's not there every day, and you'll have to pay in medals, so keep checking and keep playing the tours (the mini-games).
28. You can use the D-pad to quickly change tools. By pressing left and right, you can cycle through your equipment. Hit down to unequip your current item. Handy.
29. Imac security software. Equipment will be removed from your inventory while you are holding it. So, you can make space by putting on your wetsuit and holding one of your tools.

31. If you're invited to do something by a villager, do not turn her down. She'll be upset if you do.

32. Talk to Sable, the Able sister who is using the sewing machine in the clothes shop, every day to coax her out of her shyness. This will eventually enable you to unlock some new items and features.
33. Take screenshots by pressing the left and right shoulder buttons at the same time. Your snaps will be saved to your device or SD card, depending on how you set up the 3DS photo app.
