Trading has always been an important part of the Animal Crossing franchise. From Animal Crossing Community, to The Bell Tree Forums, to social media groups and Messenger group chats. Nookazon, however, is a brand new website which makes all trading in Animal Crossing: New Horizons a whole lot easier.

What Is Nookazon?

Nookazon is a website that allows users to easily trade in-game items. You can search for any in-game item/villager on the website and see which users have this and are wanting to trade. Once you have created an account with the website, you will able be able to list items, villagers, recipes, etc that you own and wish to trade. You will also then be able to create your own wishlist whilst browsing the website’s extensive online catalogue.

How Does Nookazon Work?

For the time being, Nookazon uses Discord as a way of facilitating trades between members. If you see an item that you want, and have what the seller is looking for in return, you can send them a message on Discord (occassionally a member will prefer another form of social media or email). If you want to list an item, you will need to follow these steps.

Future Plans For Nookazon

Nookazon are working hard to implement a chat system for the website soon, which will make trading even easier again.

Staying Safe During Trading

Nookazon have some helpful tips on how to stay safe and avoid being scammed when trading. These include:

• Using fences to limit the areas that visitors can access (I personally fence off the area around the airport to be extra cautious)
• It’s useful to know that hosts can only pick up fences if all guests are inside buildings (airport, town hall, etc). Additionally, the host cannot move, place, or pick up furniture items while there are guests on the island
• Something that I didn’t know is that guests can pole vault across beaches. Nookazon reccommends that all hosts restrict access to their beaches unless they have soundly tested their beach barriers.
