10 Star Fragments on the Beach at a Time

The max amount of Star Fragments that can appear on the beach at the same time is 10. However, if you made more than 10 wishes, the rest of your Star Fragments will appear as time passes.

20 Max Star Fragments from Your Wishes

You get one Star Fragment for each wish you make, and you can get a maximum of 20 Star Fragments. Since the max is 20, don't waste your time making more than 20 wishes during meteor showers.

20 Max Star Fragments from Visitors' Wishes

You get one Star Fragment for every 5 wishes your visitors make. A separate 20-fragment limit applies to visitors' wishes.

Therefore, you can get a maximum 20 additional Star Fragments for 100 wishes your visitors make. The 100 wishes can be made by one or several visitors, it doesn't have to be 20 wishes per person!

Once everyone has their 20 personal wishes and you've reached 100 visitor wishes, you can call it a day.

40 Max Grand Total

If you make 20 wishes and your visitors make 100 wishes total, you can get a maximum grand total of 40 Star Fragments.

Best way to Farm Star Fragments

Make 20 Wishes at Meteor Showers

By far, the best way to farm Star Fragments is making 20 wishes at meteor showers.

Up to 10 Star Fragments can appear on the beach at the same time, so collecting the remaining 10 might take a while.

Pick up Shells to Get Star Fragments to Appear

On the day of the meteor shower, make sure to pick up all the shells on your beach before ending your game. This'll make the first 10 Star Fragments appear instantly the next day, making it a lot easier to collect them.

The amount of Star Fragments you gain won't change, but you can decrease the wait time for all Star Fragments to appear.

Farm Star Fragments with Time Travel

Once you find a date with a meteor shower, it is possible to repeatedly change the date back and forth to farm Star Fragments.

No matter how far in time you travel, that day will always have a meteor shower you can come back to.

One way to know that there will be a meteor shower is through Isabelle's announcements.

Star Fragment Farming Steps

1	Make 20 wishes at a meteor shower.
2	Change the Date: Find 10 Star Fragments next day.
3	Change the Time: Progress 1 hour, collect Star Fragments.
4	Save and end.
5	Change the Date: Go to a day before the meteor shower and save.
6	Go to the day of the meteor shower and repeat from step 1.

Note: If you didn't find 10 Fragments, pick up shells to allow more to appear.

Keep in mind that the Zodiac/Horoscope Fragments are limited to a set period, so you can only farm the Star Fragment that is available in the time period your Meteor Shower occurs.

Time Traveling Guide

Find Meteor Showers Online

If you don't want to time travel, the best way to find Meteor Showers and get Star Fragments in ACNH is to look online for other players that are inviting guests for their Meteor Shower.

Some might charge a fee, so look for either free access or a price you can live with!
