Beginner Priority / Recommendation[]
The following table is a general guideline on what beginning Leaf Tickets should be spent on. The table is subject to player's personal preference and playstyle (eg. Some people rarely feel the necessity for additional Market Boxes while another player may be extremely active in stocking their Market Box and putting up items for sale).
| Item / Benefit | Cost | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Crafting Slots (+2 max) |
80 Leaf Tickets each; 160 Leaf Tickets total.
|
As a player progresses through the game, new furniture unlocked will have increasingly long craft times. By having multiple craft slots, this allows the player to craft many furniture at once instead of waiting for a long craft to complete before starting the next one. |
| Inventory Slots (+1,000 max) |
20 Leaf Tickets for 5 Inventory Slots. 4,000 Leaf Tickets total for 1,000 slots.
|
Having a large inventory allows players to hoard villager request items which can be convenient in stocking up for the next villager rotation to more easily complete requests quickly. |
| Market Box Slots (+20 max) |
10 Leaf Tickets each. 200 Leaf Tickets total for 20 slots.
|
For people who sell many items in their Market Boxes constantly, this is the purchase for you. |
| Special Decor (Furniture, Special Paint Jobs, etc.) |
Varies | Special Furniture is typically time-limited, exclusive, or the only way to obtain it is via Leaf Tickets. If a player sees a decor they like or is a collector, there's no shame in spending Leaf Tickets to grab that item. |
Most other usages of Leaf Tickets are typically not recommended (unless being done to complete Stretch Goals), as most other actions can be completed if a person has the patience to continuously complete requests (eg. To get needed materials) and wait out timers (eg. To wait for an item to finish crafting).
