Wtf are nook miles
Do you remember MEOW Coupons from New Leaf - Welcome Amiibo?
Oh that shit?
Basically there's two parts of Nook Miles, which you can redeem at the ABD for upgrades (like the Tool Ring!) or items (like fancy Nook clothing) similar to MEOW Coupons:
- Nook Miles: This is basically long-term achievements. Some are "one and done," some are multi-part and dole out Miles at increasing points (like catching more and more fish.) This also kinda mixes in Phineas and the Badge system from New Leaf. When you achieve something, it marks it with a stamp of the current date.
- Nook Miles+: Early on you also unlock the "Plus" version of Nook Miles. At any given point there will be 5 "tasks" for you to do and receive Miles for. If you complete one, another random "quest" will take its place. This is similar to the daily "quest" system of MEOW Coupons, except you can't run out, so there's always a way to make obvious forward progression in the game now.
