Description¶

The Nook Miles Achievements in this list are earned through just playing the game. They are achievements for simple tasks such as digging up clams, chopping trees and creating custom designs.

[Town Name] Miles!¶

This will be the first Nook Miles achievement you earn. You’ll unlock this one when you’re told about the Nook Mileage Program by Tom Nook.

Active Island Resident¶

These are unlocked just through playing the game! Every active day on the game counts towards these achievements. All you have to do is log into the game and it counts as an active day.

NookPhone Life¶

When you first use your Nookphone, you’ll earn some miles for it!

Island Shutterbug¶

When you take your first photo using the camera app in the Nookphone, you’ll earn this achievement!

Edit Credit¶

When you first edit your passport, you’ll get an achievement for it! You can change your passport photo or use titles that you’ve unlocked from other Nook Miles achievements.

That’s One Smart Phone¶

This is unlocked over time, after you’ve used your phone lots of times. The best advice for this achievement is to not try to force it, as you’ll just unlock it over time. You use your Nookphone a lot throughout the day so you’ll get there eventually.

Nook Miles for Miles!¶

These achievements are unlocked for completing Nook Miles+ tasks! You can complete an infinite amount of Nook Miles+ tasks everyday, so if you want to unlock these quickly, you shouldn’t have too much of an issue.

Making a Change¶

When you have a wardrobe or a chest of drawers or even a fridge, you’ll be able to use it as a functioning closet to change your outfit. All the outfits you have available will be clothing pieces that you’ve put into storage.

First Custom Design!¶

When you first create your own custom design, you’ll unlock some miles for it! For a short tutorial on how to create custom designs, head over to the Custom Designs page.

Custom Design Pro!¶

Similarly to the First Custom Design! award, this achievement is unlocked through creating your first Pro custom design. For more information on how to unlock and use the pro custom design tool, head over to the Custom Designs page.

Shady Shakedown¶

Everyday, 2 trees on your island will contain 2 items of furniture. You will also always get 1 item of furniture from trees on mystery islands (so long as they have hardwood and cedar trees on them). This means that getting these achievements won’t take as long as you might initially believe, especially if you go island hopping a lot.

[Town Name] Icons¶

When you first change your island flag and town tune, you’ll earn some miles! To change your island tune and island flag, head over to Isabelle’s desk in Resident Services. You need to create a custom design before you can change the flag, though.

It’s Raining Treasure!¶

To shoot down balloons, you need a slingshot. You can buy and craft slingshots. To earn these achievements you need to shoot down lots of balloons. Balloons are frequent and there is no maximum in a day, however, they are in even higher frequency during the lead up to Bunny Day. You’ll notice that there are lots of balloons with eggs and presents to shoot down.

Lost Treasure¶

If you shoot a balloon when its floating above water it’ll fall in! This is a sad occasion, however, Nook will try to cheer you up with some miles!

Clam and Collected¶

You can dig up clams on the beach. They spawn all day, everyday and they can be found by looking out for little spurts of water coming out of the sand. Manilla clams can be used to make fishbait which is great for trying to spawn rarer fish.

Bulletin-Board Benefit¶

When you write a bulletin-board post for the first time, you’ll earn some miles!

Rough-hewn¶

You will earn these achievements relatively easily, as they require that you chop trees for lots of wood. If you like making DIYs, chances are you always need wood, so these achievements are going to be quick to unlock if you’re always chopping at trees. You can get 3 wood per tree so it won’t take long to start accumulating large numbers.

Rock-Splitting Champ¶

If you eat a bit of fruit before hitting a rock with a shovel you’ll end up breaking it! Whilst this can be annoying if it was an accident, your rock will spawn in the next day so it’s not too bad.
