There seems to be some confusion regarding item prices.
At the start of each catalogue, in the box labled "Understanding the Sections" next to Values it says "The item's suggested retail value(in Bells). Items typically sell for 1/4 of this value at Re-Tail." So, to figure out the item's selling price, you should divide the Value by 4.
To be honest, they should've just added separate buying and selling prices as this is just bothersome.
This is a neat little guide that includes information on pretty much everything in the game, but some of the information provided lacks detail.
-It lists all the possible villagers along with their catchphrase, taste in clothes/coffee/etc., but it doesn't include their pictures or their personalities.
-It only lists two examples of counterfeit painting/sculpture. (But it includes pictures of the real things so you can compare before making the purchase in-game.)
-It mentions you can get pictures of the villagers, but doesn't actually include the pictures in the catalogue.
-It lists basic information about the tools/fishing/stores/etc., but doesn't really go in-depth. This guide doesn't even mention how many bells you need to spend to get TnT mart or Shampoodle. (It just says, 'spend lots of bells')
-There are no pictures of the different wetsuits, and they're not even in the catalogue.
-The holidays from other regions are listed in the calendar, but no information is given about them, which might make it difficult to participate if you're visiting a town from a game that is of different region.
-There are no pictures of the external house customization options.
-It lists Kapp'n as a frog, when he is so obviously a Kappa.
There are good things about this guide, though.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf is Nintendo's newest edition into their Animal Crossing Franchise. Unlike some of the guides that have been released in the past for the Animal Crossing series, it would seem that this particular Prima guide has fallen flat, and to be honest I've never been more disappointed by a guide purchase in recent memory. That being said, the guide isn't a complete waste of your money, but if you're expecting it to contain all of the information that you would expect a guide for Animal Crossing to include, you will be disappointed.
Pros:
- If you have never played the franchise before, the early parts of the guide will make your re-adjustment to the Animal Crossing gameplay and lifestyle MUCH easier. They will detail all of the tricks of the trade with the various tools you are given to earn bells with and how to eventually get upgraded versions of those tools.
- The guide includes a month-by-month calendar of what wildlife is available, so this ensures that you always can progress with your fish and bug collection without having to resort to 'time-traveling'.
- The guide includes a complete catalog of items in the game with checkboxes so you and the other players in the house can mark your progress. (Ex: Checkboxes are labeled P1, P2, P3, P4 for the 4 villagers allowed in one town.)
- You will learn tips such as being able to figure out which paintings are 'false' when the fox, Redd, comes to your town.
- I'm indifferent about this, but an e-version of the guide is available. It's not formatted very well for the e-format, but if you are unable to use the book you will have it available online.
