Sell duplicates (low-value like toilet paper) at treasure store for cash, but prioritize gifting—catalog logs everything. Avoid hoarding; gifting unlocks stories.

Treasure Type Gift Impact Sell Value Example
Pets (dog, cat) High interactions, happiness Low (~£30 for dog)
Trophies Milestone markers N/A (keep)
Customs Pets for all Variable
Souvenirs Unique displays Medium

Maximize daily treasure grind

Combine methods: start with fountain wishes, check dreams/Miis, play mini-games, solve issues. Track encyclopedia for misses—grind vacations/milestones mid-game. Focus early on basics (mini-games, dreams), shift to customs/vacations later. Full collection needs time but transforms island dynamics.

Stock 247 treasures by daily routines and unlocks—gift freely for endless fun and progress.
