New Year’s Express: Bell System & Rewards

How to Farm Bells Efficiently
Method 1: Sell Fischmas Fish (Best Method)
- Travel to Fischmas Village via train from Moosewood or Magical Snow Globe
- Fish exclusively in Fischmas waters
- Sell inventory to the merchant near the Christmas Tree
- Use high-luck rods for better fish variety and value
Method 2: Complete Fischmas Quests
- Each quest rewards 100-250+ Bells
- Some quests require Merry mutation (use Christmas Tree Rod)
- Focus on repeatable quests for consistent Bell income
Method 3: Open Presents
- Fish or purchase presents from the event area
- Random chance for Bells, baits, or fish
- Less reliable but can yield surprise rewards
