"Danger! Look out for bees! Don't shake trees!"
— Signpost, Animal Crossing: City Folk
Notice.jpg

Signposts are landscape features that appear in all games in the Animal Crossing series, and in the earlier installments as purchasable items from Tom Nook's Store. They generally have hints written on them, some written by Tom Nook, Crazy Redd or Pelly, and others whose writers are unknown. Trees cannot be grown within three spaces of a signpost.

In Animal Crossing

In Doubutsu no Mori, Doubutsu no Mori+, Animal Crossing, and Doubutsu no Mori e+, signposts will have hints written on them. They are similar to Sign Boards that can have designs posted on them. Sign boards can be bought at Nookway and Nookington's for 200 Bells. If a villager moves out of town, a signpost will appear where their house was. When a villager moves in, their house will appear where a sign post was. Gracie, Redd and Katrina will also appear where signposts are.

In Wild World and City Folk

Signposts serve the same purpose in Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk as they did in the previous installments, though Sign Boards do not reappear. Most Animal Crossing: Wild World towns have 12 possible villager house locations (and therefore at least four unoccupied signposts in town at any one time), while Animal Crossing: City Folk towns have many more; often around 25-30. Gulliver's U.F.O. in Animal Crossing: Wild World will crash in a signpost's location.

In New Leaf

The normal signposts have been removed in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, because villagers can move in anywhere where there is free space. However, the day before a villager moves in, a plot of land will appear, with a signpost that tells the player which villager is moving in. Also, the Custom-Design Sign public works project functions similarly to the purchasable Sign Boards on early games.

Examples of hints

  • Danger! Beware of bees! Don't shake trees! (reworded to Danger! Look out for bees! Don't shake trees! in Animal Crossing: City Folk).
  • The Bug Catcher's Way - Approach it slowly, lest it fly away!
  • The Fisherman's Creed - Watch your opponent's move, and pull before it can retreat!
  • Fish Wanted - I'll buy your fish for a reasonable price. (current Nook store variation)
  • Bugs Wanted - I'll buy your bugs for a moderate price. (current Nook store variation)
  • Fruit Wanted - One (native fruit): 100 Bells. Other fruit: 500 Bells.
  • He who hankers for fruit resists cutting down trees! (appears only in Animal Crossing: City Folk)
  • If you want to cross-breed your flowers, plant strategically. And the rest is a secret!
