Talk:Balloon

Balloons seem to be more plentiful in New Horizons
I notice that I've had up to three balloons show up in the span of ten minutes. I don't think the every 4th minute of the ten minute cycle is true in this game.


 * They appear to be more frequent during windy days, but they definitely do spawn on the four minute mark otherwise from my end. More investigation is required otherwise.

Balloon Color Correlation
I do not believe there is a color correlation to which items drop (other than for Bunny Day of course). Popped a blue balloon and got a beach towel. Popped a yellow and got bells. Popped another yellow and got a rattan bed.
 * I think you're right. I was just tidying up the info that was already there, but I've noticed it doesn't always hold true. I've noticed (for example) yellow balloons are more likely to contain bells than anything else, but it's not a certainty. I'll change that section for now, and we can investigate to see if there is some sort of chance associated with the colour of the balloon. --Shark HHD Icon.png Dorsal Axe (talk) 08:40, April 4, 2020 (EDT)
 * Initially I added this as I logged what appeared, there definitely seem to be different pools of items per balloon color, and the Bunny Day event confirms it! I still get bells more frequently from yellow balloons and I got the golden slingshot recipe from one as well. I'll be looking into delving into the code soon to check these pools.

Move to Balloon?
Shall we move this to simply 'Balloon' now that this is the only balloon page? The balloon items that the player carries were merged into Handheld items. Drago  (talk)      13:36, August 8, 2020 (EDT)
 * I think so, especially since we have a wrong page notice on this page anyway. ~ AlexBot2004  ( Talk ) 21:20, August 8, 2020 (EDT)
 * This is now done. Drago   (talk)     Drago PC Villager Icon.png 13:14, August 10, 2020 (EDT)
