The best way to farm Nook Miles, the new form of currency in Animal Crossing: New Horizons on Switch, is to complete Nook Miles+ challenges every day.

You can earn Nook Miles by completing long-term tasks, like catching new fish or spending lots of Bells. You can purchase upgrades like new hairstyles and expanded inventory with them.

After paying off your vacation fee for 5,000 Miles and opting to swap your tent for a house, you’ll unlock Nook Miles+ — New Horizons’ name for daily challenges. Those include repeatable tasks like planting flowers, catching fish, or just talking to your villagers.

There’s no limit on the number of challenges you can complete a day, and the first five challenges are worth more Miles than the rest. Prioritize the first five tasks you get every day to rake in the Miles.

A five times (5X) multiplier will also randomly begin appearing among the rest of your tasks. It’s not guaranteed to happen every day, however, so don’t be surprised if you don’t have any quintupled Nook Miles+ tasks after paying your loan off.

Tasks won’t ask you for things that you can’t do. If you’ve never changed using a closet before, it won’t ask you to change using a closet. If you don’t have the museum properly unlocked, you won’t be asked to get fossils assessed.

We’ve listed out all the Nook Miles+ tasks you can get, including tasks from the 2.0 update, below.
