| Location | Around your island |
Wisp will randomly visit your island late at night from 8 PM to 5 AM. However, he won't visit you island every night, so be on the look at for a floating blob at night!
Why Is Wisp Not Appearing?
Wisp Appearance Has No Schedule
Unlike other Special Characters, Wisp doesn't have a schedule of when he comes to your island. You'll have to randomly run into him while walking around your island at night!
What to Do With Wisp
| Steps | Directions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare a Net |
| 2 | Talk to Wisp to Start the Event |
| 3 | Collect the 5 Spirit Pieces |
| 4 | Return the Spirit Pieces to Wisp |
| 5 | Receive a New or Expensive Reward! |
1. Prepare a Net
You need a Net before you can collect Wisp's spirit pieces, so you should craft one if you don't have it before looking for Wisp.
2. Talk to Wisp to Start the Event
When you approach Wisp the Ghost and press the A button, he will get surprised and his spirits will scatter across the map.
3. Collect Wisp's 5 Spirit Pieces
Wisp the Ghost's spirits can appear anywhere on your island. Be sure to check every nook and cranny!
4. Return the Spirit Pieces to Wisp
After collecting the spirits, you can go back to where you first saw Wisp the Ghost. He will give you an item as a reward.
5. Receive a New or Expensive Reward!
Wisp will give you an item for collecting all the spirits as a token of thanks. You can choose between something new, and something expensive.
Should I Choose Something New or Expensive?
Choose Something New
There isn't an exact pattern to what items Wisp will give you; oftentimes he gives out items randomly!
However, we found that he usually sticks to cheap items, even if you choose “something expensive.” That said, your best option is to choose “something new,” to try and expand your catalog!
