Pick Up Along the Beach Daily

Every few hours, shells will spawn along the beach, so make sure to check frequently!

There is a high possibility that the number of shells that spawn increases over time, and you can only pick up a maximum number of shells if you skip the time.

This requires verification from the walkthrough team.

Summer Shells are Only Available During the Summer Season

A specific seashell called Summer Shell, is only available during summer. You can use them to craft special summer shell-related items.

If you do not want to wait for summer to come around, you can time-travel to the appropiate month.
