Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH) - Turnip Guide: How to Buy and Sell Turnips

Learn everything there is to know about turnips: best price for selling, price patterns, and when to buy or sell from Daisy Mae to master the Stalk Market!

ACNH - Turnip prices

Sell Prices Change Twice a Day

The sell price for Turnips changes twice every day : one in the morning and one at 12:00 noon.

Check Prices Everyday!

Since you can check two prices a day for a week, you have a total of 12 different sell prices each week.

Always check Nook's Cranny each day so you can easily determine the best possible sell price for your Turnips!

Turnip Price Trading Board

Sell Before Sunday

If it's afternoon on a Saturday, you'll want to sell your Turnips regardless of price. Any sale is better than your turnips rotting!

However, you can always just use Dodo Codes to fly to islands with high buying prices at any time of the week!

ACNH - Selling Turnips at Nook

You can sell Turnips at Nook's Cranny any day of the week except Sunday . How to Unlock & Upgrade Nook's Cranny

Only Time Travel within the Week

Nintendo Switch - Date and Time Screen

Once you've got your turnips you can time travel to any date within the week! This means you can jump to a date and time with a better price at Nook's Cranny.

But be sure not to time travel too far! If you time travel past Sunday all your turnips will rot.

What Are Turnips?

Predict Turnips Prices

1. standard.

ACNH - Standard Turnip Price Pattern

If you bought Turnips and get the Standard pattern, it's recommended that you sell it when the price rises even a little.

2. Sudden Spike

ACNH - Sudden Spike Turnip Price Pattern

Most of the time, the selling price peaks after the price has gone up twice in a row .

Note: We have repeatedly tested this and got the best price after 2 price bumps, but it's not a 100% guaranteed result.

3. Downward Trend

ACNH - Downward Trend Turnip Price Pattern

This pattern has one upside; the pattern following week has a high chance of becoming a Sudden Spike .

4. Slow Spike

ACNH - Slow Spike Turnip Price Pattern

The Slow Spike pattern is characterized by a steady increase in Turnip Prices, and is the second best pattern to turn a profit on.

The best price is usually the one after the price has gone up 3 times.

Note: Most of our testing resulted in this, but it's not 100% guaranteed that the best price will appear after 3 price bumps.

ACNH - Player stands on a field of turnips

Sell When You Have Pattern 2 or 4

The best times to sell Turnips is when you hit the Spike of either the Sudden or Slow Spike price patterns!

The best of the two is the Sudden Spike, but since the weekly patterns are mostly random and a matter of luck, it takes a long time to predict when it will happen.

Pattern 2 and 4

Visit an island with a high sell price.

If your friend or an online player has a high Sell Price on their island, you can visit them with Local Connection or Online to sell your Turnips there.

Offer and find Turnip prices on our Turnip Price Board! Turnip Price Trading Board

Efficient Selling Between Two Players

This method requires Time Travelling , but is an efficient way of earning bells through Turnip Trading.

One player time travels to a day when Turnip prices are high, while the other time travels to Sunday when Turnip prices are low.

Both players will alternate visiting each other's islands to maximize the profits from selling Turnips!

Turnip stalk market: how to buy & best time to sell.

animal crossing time travel turnips

The Turnip Stalk Market is a great way to make lots of Bells in Animal Crossing: New Horizons with little effort while having fun at the same time! In this guide, we’ll tell you how to buy turnips and how to sell them later for a huge profit.

How to Buy Turnips from Daisy Mae

The one and only way to purchase Turnips and play the Stalk Market in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is meeting the visiting Daisy Mae character on your island.

animal crossing time travel turnips

Note that in order for Daisy Mae to show up and the Turnip Stalk Market to be enabled, you will need to have fully constructed the Nook’s Cranny shop building on your island.

Daisy Mae Visiting Days and Hours

Daisy Mae shows up offering Turnips for sale on your island every Sunday morning between 5AM to 12PM (Noon). You can find her wandering around in a random location on your island, so be sure to explore the entire area until you find her sneaky spot.

If you have ramps and bridges on your island, expect her to cross over those to farther areas of land, so watch out for that.

How Much Do Turnips Cost To Buy From Daisy Mae?

The price that Daisy Mae will sell Turnips to you on Sunday mornings is a random number that varies every week. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the buy price of turnips will always be within the 90-110 Bells range.

animal crossing time travel turnips

So it’s best to purchase turnips if they are towards the 90-100 Bells buy range as that is objectively a ‘good’ price, but we recommend buying them no matter the price as 110 is certainly not a bad price either. You can profit regardless of where in the buy price range you land — it’s not worth fretting over the buy price.

Time Traveling with Turnips

It’s important to be aware of some restrictions on time traveling once you’ve bought any turnips in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. If you change your system clock backwards in time and load the game at any point while owning turnips, the game will automatically spoil all of your turnips, even if it’s not the next Sunday yet.

Additionally, with the Version 1.2 update released in April , any time traveling backwards by even a single minute can cause your current turnip prices to be reset resulting in a new pattern. If you’re on track for a large spike price or already have one and time travel, it may no longer occur.

How to Store Turnips

After you buy some Turnips from Daisy Mae on Sunday, the next question you’ll be wondering is what to do with them in the meantime until it’s selling time. Here’s a quick rundown on your options for storing turnips, and what options won’t work.

No Turnips in House Storage

Unfortunately, Animal Crossing: New Horizons does not allow you to store Turnips inside of your house storage menu where almost every other item can be stored. This is a pretty big pain, so you’ll have to find another place to store your Turnips while you wait to see them…

Place Turnips Inside House on Tables or Floor

Since you can’t place turnips inside your house storage menu, the only way to store them in your home is to simply place them on the floor in a spare room or attempt to fit some on top of tables. Placing items like Turnips directly on the floor in your room can reduce your Happy Room Academy rating unfortunately.

Place Turnips Outdoors on Tables or Ground

If completely destroying the aesthetic of your interior rooms with Turnips doesn’t seem appealing, it’s worth remembering that Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ brand new feature allowing you to place furniture outside can be very helpful!

Those truly dedicated to turnips might find it worthwhile setting up a section of their island designed to store turnips on a variety of tables. If you’re going to litter turnips everywhere, you can at least try and make it look slightly stylish with some nice furniture at the same time!

Going one step further, some fans have come up with creative solutions using custom pattern designs to store their turnips on the ground outside. Check out the tweet above!

How to Sell Turnips at Nook’s Cranny

The only place you can sell your Turnips in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is to Timmy or Tommy at the Nook’s Cranny shop. They won’t buy your Turnips on Sundays as the Stalk Market is closed, but during any other day of the week, this is where you go to sell!

Each day throughout the week Monday to Saturday, there are two different Turnip sell prices at Nook’s Cranny — one between opening and 12PM, and another between 12PM and closing.

animal crossing time travel turnips

To learn what the current Turnip selling price is without actually selling your own, walk up to Timmy or Tommy and select the ‘Turnip prices’ dialogue option. If you’re happy with the current price, simply sell your turnips to them the same way you sell any other item.

So in order to maximize your chances of spotting a good Turnip price and turning a solid profit on your investment, you want to ideally check the prices at Nook’s Cranny twice per day all week long. Remember: Check once before 12PM, and check once after 12PM!

When You Should Sell Your Turnips For The Most Money

To state the obvious, you always want to sell your Turnips to Timmy & Tommy for more than you purchased them for from Daisy Mae on Sunday. It’s not a bad idea to make a personal note of what price you bought at, so you don’t accidentally dip into the negative.

The Turnip Stalk Market strategy ultimately comes down to how much risk you are willing to take — if you see a 150 price on Tuesday, do you take it and gain a small profit, or risk holding out for an even greater price later in the week?

animal crossing time travel turnips

Based on information recovered from the game’s code, the highest sell price that can be reached in Animal Crossing: New Horizons through legitimate play is 660 Bells, although it is exceptionally rare to reach such a high.

On the other hand, the lowest possible sell price can reach a painful single-digit 9 Bells. Of course, these maximum and minimum prices can  be adjusted through hacking, but they are the organic limits of turnips.

Common Turnip Price Patterns

The good news is that you’re not totally in the dark on what to expect from prices throughout the week as there are some patterns to how the Stalk Market typically operates. By tracking your turnip prices every day and identifying possible patterns, you can vastly increase your chances of making a profit!

Similarly to past games in the series, the Turnip Stalk Market in Animal Crossing: New Horizons features four different possible general patterns that your island’s Turnip prices can follow throughout the week.

Note that ‘your buy price’ in this section refers to the price that Daisy Mae was selling on  your island . If you bought at another island, the price will not be accurate as patterns are based on your own island’s buy price.

Big Spike Pattern

Your turnip prices will initially go down continuously by small amounts appearing to be a bad week, but at some point in the week a series of increasing prices will begin, in which the third increase is the largest ‘spike’ price.

The peak spike price in the Big Spike pattern can be as high as 660 Bells or as low as 180 Bells, depending on your island’s starting buy price.

Small Spike Pattern

Your turnip prices will initially go down continuously by small amounts appearing to be a bad week, but at some point in the week a series of increasing prices will begin, in which the fifth increase is the largest ‘spike’ price.

The peak spike price in the Small Spike pattern can be as high as 220 Bells or as low as 180 Bells, depending on your island’s starting buy price.

Random or Rollercoaster Pattern

Your turnip prices will go through multiple phases of alternating increasing and decreasing amounts, just like a rollercoaster, but never reaching a particularly good high.

The peak price in the Random or Rollercoaster pattern can be as high as 154 Bells and will almost always rise above your buy price at least a couple times.

Decreasing Pattern

Your turnip prices will start at a relatively low number below your buy price, and continue to go down throughout the entire week without ever recovering. This pattern is the only one where you are guaranteed to ‘lose’ playing the Stalk Market on your own island.

You’ll need to visit another island to make a profit when getting the Decreasing Pattern or eat the inevitable loss.

Tips & Tricks to to Lower Risk & Always Profit from Turnips

While it’s impossible to guarantee yourself a profit and avoid all possible losses when playing the Stalk Market in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, there are a few extra tricks to increase your chances of success.

animal crossing time travel turnips

Work Together With Friends

The number one way to always beat the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Stalk Market and avoid finding yourself in trouble is work together with some friends, and the more the merrier! While your own island’s Turnip sell prices may be poor during the week, each and every individual island has its own price.

So if you check in with your friends all week long to see what their prices are, your chances of at least someone you know including yourself having a profitable sell price increases dramatically!

Selling turnips at a friend’s island couldn’t be simpler either — just head over to the Airport, visit their island, and head over to their Nook’s Cranny to begin selling. Of course, you’ll need to stuff your inventory full of all your Turnips and this may require multiple trips if you purchased a lot.

And remember, if you do make a massive profit at another player’s island, it’s considered polite to leave a small tip of Bells if you can for their time. We usually try and tip about 5% of our total profits if possible!

Sell Only Some of Your Turnips Early

Another way to minimize potential losses in the Stalk Market is to be smart and hedge your bets by selling a partial amount of your Turnips earlier on during the week.

Exactly when you may wish to sell is up to your personal risk tolerance and what prices are available, but as an example, you could sell 50% of your Turnips when the price hits 130 Bells on Tuesday.

By doing so, you guarantee no loss for that half of your stockpile and even earn a decent profit on them, while leaving yourself open still to benefiting from a potential high jackpot price later in the week! It’s the best of both worlds and worth considering if you’re worried about losing it all.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Time Travel

Animal Crossing: New Horizons , like previous installments in the series, runs in real-time. If an hour passes in the real world, it also passes in your game, whether you're playing or not. If Tom Nook says your house will be ready tomorrow, you have to wait until tomorrow for your house to be finished. Then again, you can trick the game into thinking time has passed using time travel. Time travel is not without its risks, and some would even say it's cheating; however, there are lots of reasons you might want to fast forward or rewind your island's clock. We here at iMore have all the details on how to use time travel in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

While early reports suggested that Animal Crossing: New Horizons would not allow for time traveling, it didn't take players long to figure out how to accomplish this feat to some pretty impressive ends. By adjusting the time and date on your Switch, you can move your game forward or backward in time. Before you go jumping into the future, though, it's important to know that you can cause some significant and undesirable changes by skipping time.

Why would I want to time travel anyways?

Because Animal Crossing: New Horizons runs in real-time, there can be a lot of waiting around. Let's say a new villager just moved to your island. Well, you have to wait until they're finished unpacking to interact with them. Usually, this would mean checking back in after a day, but with time travel, you can skip straight to tomorrow and have a new villager to interact with.

While that might seem small, let's say it's something a little more important. Maybe you missed out on one of the weekly visitors. Did you miss ours on buying turnips this past Sunday ? Well, you can skip ahead and buy next Sunday's turnips right now. Maybe you want to skip to a certain time of year so you can catch specific fish or bugs . If you've caught all the fish or bugs available to you right now, you might want to jump to next month and try for something new.

What are the risks?

When traveling forward in time, the game will behave as though you simply hadn't played for the time skipped. If you're only skipping a day at a time, this isn't a big deal, but if you skip two months, you will find your island is overrun with weeds, and your villagers have moved away. You may even find cockroaches in your home! Basically, your island will be a dump if you go too far all at once. If you're trying to sell turnips, skipping to the next week will also make all your turnips rot, and going back in time won't fix them, either.

Time-traveling also won't let you take part in certain events. For example, the Museum Day Event runs from May 18 through May 21. If you jump to May 18 right now, you would not be able to take part in this event. Your Switch console's clock needs to be synchronized via Internet to take part in these types of events. This also means if you're time traveling and an event is happening right now, you cannot participate.

Time-traveling also doesn't make rare events any less rare. Say you time traveled in hopes of catching some finned fish that are only available in the summer. Having tested this myself, I can tell you those fish are pretty rare, and most of the time, you won't be catching the sharks you're looking for, but rather suckerfish or even more sea bass. I spent a few hours and more bait than I care to admit trying for sharks and managed to only come across one. I caught a few schools worth of sea bass, though.

How does it work?

If you've read through all that and still want to time travel, the process is pretty easy. Just follow these easy steps:

  • Press the - button to save and exit Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
  • Press the Home button to return to the home screen.
  • Press the X button to close Animal Crossing. Hint: this is critical! If you do not close Animal Crossing, the time jump will not happen!
  • Tap the sun-shaped icon at the bottom of the screen to open the System Settings.
  • Tap Date & Time
  • Tap "Synchronize Clock via Internet to turn off time syncing.
  • Change the date and/or time.
  • Press the B button until you've returned to the home screen.
  • Reopen Animal Crossing.

Just make sure you use your new power responsibly!

One last tip from a seasoned time traveler

If you do decide to time travel, the biggest piece of advice I can offer is make a daily checklist. This game is designed to be played daily, with things to do at any time of day. All those things might not be a priority for you, but it's easy to forget about some, especially the sporadic visitors who have no schedule to when they show up.

If you're skipping ahead to catch specific fish only available in the daytime, but aren't looking around at night, you're going to miss out on visits from Celeste . If you're not checking your secret beach for Jolly Redd's Treasure Trawler , your art gallery is going to suffer.

So, make a list of everything you want to do each day. Each day you skip ahead, check off each of those things.

Animal Crossing Turnips Guide: Buy, Sell, And Store Turnips

How to make a profit buying and selling turnips, how to store turnips, and how long until turnips spoil.

By Kallie Plagge on April 11, 2021 at 8:18AM PDT

Animal Crossing: New Horizons doesn't a simple economy, even if you don't have to pay interest on Tom Nook's mortgages. Selling fruit, bugs , fish , and various random items to make a quick bell will get you by for a bit, but you'll need to get better income sources as your house payments start to balloon and you have to make larger infrastructure improvements around town. You'll need to make use of the game's stock market--which it cheekily calls the "stalk market"--in order to make enough money for this. New content releases regularly, so you'll want to stay on top of your funds.

Named for the turnips you're buying and selling, the stalk market is a finicky thing that takes practice and commitment. But you can stand to make major profits if you keep an eye on Timmy and Tommy's prices and know when to sell. We've rounded up everything you need to know about Animal Crossing's turnip trade, from how to buy turnips to the types of stalk market patterns you should look out for and our best tips. They aren't the only way to earn a lot of bells, but they are one of the most consistent if you do it every week. Eventually, you'll hit the jackpot!

For more financial tips, check out our guide to making money in New Horizons . The game continues to get even more options for making cash over time. As Halloween has passed, we should seen more seasonal goodies coming to the game, as well. Most are limited-time items, so you'll need to remember to get them before they're gone. The possibilities are nearly endless. People are even making their own takes on classic characters for costumes . With the cash you receive from your turnips, you can join them.

How To Buy And Store Turnips

Turnips in Animal Crossing operate on a weekly cycle. Each Sunday after you've unlocked Nook's Cranny , an adorable boar named Daisy Mae will visit your town and sell turnips from 5 AM to 12 PM. She sells them in bundles of 10 for a varying price each week--somewhere between 90 and 110 bells per turnip. There's no limit to how many you can buy before she leaves so long as you have the bells, and we recommend buying regardless of her price, though buying low is obviously preferable.

All the turnips you buy will spoil the following Sunday and become worthless, so in order to make any money, you'll need to sell the week's turnips sometime before Saturday evening. In the meantime, you don't have to keep turnips in your pockets; while you can't store them in your home storage, you can drop them on the floor in your home or outside. Keep in mind that any visitors can pick up the turnips you leave outside, so if you don't have space in your house, make sure you fence in the turnips so they don't get stolen!

Warning: Time Travel

Be careful when changing the time in your game when playing the stalk market; turnips may spoil if you time travel. In our testing, they only spoiled if we traveled forward beyond the week we bought them in; however, if you time travel backward, your turnip pattern will reset, which can seriously screw up your price predictions. We detail the various patterns below.

Selling Turnips: When Should You Sell?

Starting each Monday, Timmy and Tommy will start buying turnips from you; the only day they don't buy turnips is Sunday. Generally, anything above 200 bells per turnip is a decent price, but in a good week you can see prices in the 300s and 400s and in rare cases even up to the 600s. Conversely, in a bad week you might have to sell your turnips for only slightly more than you paid for them or even at a loss.

Timmy and Tommy change their prices twice daily, once when Nook's Cranny opens in the morning and again at noon. This is where things get a little complicated: There are a few general patterns their prices will follow throughout the week, so it's important to ask them for their prices twice every day to get a sense of what pattern you have. You can look at the main patterns to watch out for below.

No Caption Provided

Spike Patterns

"Spike" (or "hill" and "mountain") patterns, as fans refer to them, are ideal. Especially ideal is the "large spike" pattern, in which you get prices in the high 300s and up. The general rule with this pattern is that there is a spike in price sometime during the week which is both preceded and followed by a period of decreasing prices. For example, these were my prices a few weeks ago:

  • Monday AM: 89
  • Monday PM: 85
  • Tuesday AM: 82
  • Tuesday PM: 78
  • Wednesday AM: 74
  • Wednesday PM: 71
  • Thursday AM: 117
  • Thursday PM: 184
  • Friday AM: 403 bells
  • Friday PM: 175

In this example, the prices at the beginning of the week drop by a few bells each time, but there's an increase in price later in the week. The important thing to keep in mind is that with a spike pattern, you never want to sell on the first increase ; the price will always increase at least one more time and at most two more times (like in the above example). The gamble is whether you want to sell on that second increase or hope for an even better one the next time the price changes.

No Caption Provided

You may also get a more modest spike, commonly referred to as a "small spike" pattern. In this pattern, you will see lower prices--typically below or hovering around 200--but it follows the same general pattern as the big spike. That means you'll see some decreasing prices followed by two or three successive increases, then decreasing prices for the remainder of the week. We've even seen small spikes with four successive increases, though it seems rarer.

There is also a version of this pattern in which a "dip" occurs between two increasing prices. For example, we've seen a Tuesday AM price of 137 followed by an afternoon price of 122, then a Wednesday AM price of 170 with a peak in the afternoon at 173. Like with the other kinds of spike patterns, the best course of action is to wait until at least Tuesday so you can get a sense of what the pattern might be. Note that this pattern can easily be confused with the "fluctuating" pattern; if the price after the dip is lower than the price right before the dip, then it's not a small spike.

Decreasing Pattern

While the spike patterns always begin with decreasing prices, if you don't see any increases by Thursday, you probably (and unfortunately) have the decreasing pattern. In this pattern, prices just keep decreasing, and you won't be able to sell at a profit--unless you travel to someone else's island, which we'll get into below.

Fluctuating Pattern

This pattern, which is also sometimes called "random," is what it sounds like. With this pattern, prices will increase and decrease seemingly at random, with a mini spike followed by decreasing prices followed by more ups and downs throughout the week. If your prices start out a bit high and don't decrease on Monday, you have this pattern. The good news is that you can still make a small profit if you sell during one of the upward trends--it's just much harder to predict when to sell than any of the others.

How To Recover From Bad Prices

If you got a bad pattern or didn't sell at the right time, you're not completely screwed: You can sell your turnips on other people's islands! If you have friends who are also playing the stalk market, it's a good idea to talk to them about your prices throughout the week and see if you might get a better deal elsewhere. Making lots of friends and communicating each week is key for making this easy.

What To Do With Spoiled Turnips

If you forgot about your turnips, they will spoil after a week has passed, but it's not a total loss! There's one good use for spoiled turnips: attracting ants and flies . Ants only appear on rotten turnips, so they can be hard to catch--especially if you're careful with your stalk investments. (Flies can also appear on garbage, but they seem to be a little rarer than ants generally.)

Both ants and flies appear year-round and at any time of day, so all you have to do is drop some rotten turnips (just 10 is fine) and walk around until ants appear. Neither ants nor flies sell for a lot, but you'll need them to complete your Critterpedia and museum. Once you've caught the ant and/or fly, you can toss the spoiled turnips in any garbage bin furniture item.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons time traveling on Switch changes a game that plays in real time, meaning that a day in the game is as long as a day in real life. You can time travel to want to speed up your progress.

Rather than waiting until the next real-world day, time traveling lets you and see your new home renovations or new building quickly.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons time travel

To time travel in Animal Crossing: New Horizons :

  • Close Animal Crossing : New Horizons by pressing the Switch’s Home button, highlighting the game’s icon, pressing the X button, and clicking “Close” in the dialogue box that appears.
  • Go to your Nintendo Switch System Settings (the gear icon on the home screen), scroll all the way down, and select “System.”
  • Select “Date and Time,” and turn off the setting that says “Synchronize Clock via Internet.”
  • Change the date or the time to whatever you want.
  • Reopen Animal Crossing: New Horizons , and the date and time in New Horizons will match whatever you set it to in the Switch’s system preferences.

Be careful about skipping too many days at once, as skipping forward weeks at a time will yield the same results as not playing for weeks at a time: Your villagers may move out, and weeds will move in.

Keep in mind that you will have to connect to the internet to verify the date before you participate in holiday-based events. For example, the Bunny Day event, which starts on April 1, will require you to connect to the internet to verify your time, according to a post on the Japanese Nintendo website . This means that if you do choose to time travel, you’ll have to set your Switch to the normal date to play any of the upcoming events.

Time Travel

Last updated: 3 April 2022

What is time travel?

Animal Crossing games are based on real time – for example, things that the game says will take one day truly take one real-life day to complete. “Time traveling” refers to the act of manually changing the time of the game to either be in the future or go back to the past.

Time traveling is not considered hacking. Time traveling also does not reverse/rewind progress. You keep all the progress, items, etc. that you’ve completed/acquired even if you time travel backwards.

How do I time travel?

To time travel, you must either close your game or go to the ‘Save Complete’ screen after doing a ‘Save and End’. You now need to change your date in your Switch settings:

  • Open System Settings > System > Date and Time .
  • Disable Synchronize Clock via internet if it is ON.
  • Go to Date and Time and adjust to whatever time you would like.
  • Return to the game and the new date & time will take effect!

What are the general effects of time traveling ( backward or forward )?

  • Able Sisters’ mannequin will only change if you go outside of the week.
  • Some items from Nook’s Cranny can only be purchased once a week. i.e. if you bought it once, it wouldn’t be restocked when time traveling to that day again in the same week.
  • Saharah’s inventory does not change if you stay within the same week when time traveling forward or back. You have to go into another week for it to change.

What are the specific effects of time traveling forwards?

It is important to remember that time traveling forwards is no different than closing your game and then logging in at the new, manually input time. With that said, here are the effects of going forwards.

What are the specific effects of time traveling backwards?

If you time travel backward more than a day, it will be like going back to “fake” yesterday.

What happens to my other games when I time travel for AC:NH?

Time traveling for AC:NH will not affect other time-based games unless you launch them whilst the system time is changed.

Do I have to wait to time travel after someone invites my villager to live on their island?

No, and likewise, you don’t have to wait to time travel after inviting someone else’s villager to live on your island either.

Can I time travel to play events that have passed?

Yes, as of the 2.0.0 update, all events for all years of the game’s lifespan have been unlocked, including all seasonal Nook Stop items.

Player birthdays can only be experienced once every in-game year , and TTing back to the same birthday date won’t restore it. You must go to a future or past year.

I time traveled to Festive season, but why are none of the cedar trees decorated?

Make sure you have time traveled forward into the season (rather than backwards) and you have at least 1 cedar tree. For more information on how cedar trees are decorated, refer to the infographic here .

How do I time travel to farm an NPC visitor?

If the NPC is on a weekday except Monday:

  • Toggle the date between the day the NPC is there and a day they are not. If you are farming an NPC that sends you gifts via mail, be sure to go forward to receive their rewards.

If the NPC is on a Monday:

  • Time travel forward a day to Tuesday, then go back to Monday (after 5 AM)

Will my villagers move out if I time travel too much?

Nope! Though this was something that could happen in past installments of the game, villagers in New Horizons will not move out unless you give them explicit permission to do so.

Will my villagers dislike me/lose friendship points if I time travel too much?

Nope! They may have some dialogue about your disappearance if you do a big jump forward, but time traveling has no effect on friendship.

Do the developers know I time travel? Will they do anything to me about it?

There is actually a variable turned up by data mining called isTimeSly that determines whether or not the player has time traveled! With that said, there’s no indication whatsoever that the developers care, as there are no permanent in-game consequences or punishments for time traveling. Ultimately, it is your game, and you should play it however you want to!

What are BCAT or NTP unlocks?

BCAT and NTP unlocks are flags that gets flipped when the actual date of the intended release of an event or period has arrived in real time. Collectively, both of these are referred to as “time-locks”. There is no way to manually unlock these flags other than hacking the Switch. The difference between these two unlocks are:

*Note: These will likely not be used going forward as of the 2.0.0 update.

Animal Crossing Wiki

Time travel

  • View history

Time travel , often shortened to "TT", is when the player manually changes the time of their game to benefit from seasonal events, bugs , fish , moving villagers out, moving villagers in, upgrading shops, progressing story, etc, in their  Animal Crossing series games. It is also used to manipulate the ABD interest where, by the end of each month, a certain percentage is added to the player's Bell amount in their bank accounts.

It is considered a type of cheating by many but it is not known if it is cheating or not, and is controversial among the community. All players who time travel take the risk of their town becoming populated with weeds , downgrading Tom Nook's Store , the likely possibility of villagers moving out, bedheads, interrupting the growth of trees , and, depending on how far they have traveled, rafflesia growing.

Because the games only track real-world time up to the end of a certain year, said year would rollover after December 31. As a result, time travel would also be necessary to reach a year within the clock's range that is identical to the post-limit year, in order to maintain synchronization with the real world.

How to time travel [ ]

There are different ways to change the clock time in each console the games were released on. Below addresses how to change the clocks:

In Animal Crossing [ ]

To change the time in Animal Crossing there are two options - the Nintendo GameCube clock or the in-game clock. These are accessed through the in-game options. The ideal option is to change the GameCube's internal clock because the in-game clock affects the growth of trees , the way letters are sent, and how the Police Station and Dump restock with items.

In Wild World [ ]

TimeAdjust

The clock adjustment feature in Wild World .

Changing the date and time in Wild World is easier than it is in the original Animal Crossing . To change the time in-game, load the game and when at the character select, click the phone and follow the option that goes to the Date and Time settings.

To change the DS time, turn on the DS then touch the screen/press "A". Next, instead of loading Animal Crossing , press the DS icon at the bottom of the touch screen. Click the second menu, the blue one, with the clock and calendar on it. The top button (that resembles a calendar) changes the date, and the right button (that resembles a wall clock) changes the time. Press "B" until the DS says "The system will now shut down," then press "A" to have it turn off. Restart the console, and launch the game again, and the time/date in-game will have changed according to the system time/date.

In City Folk [ ]

Like in the original Animal Crossing , there are two options to change the date and time settings for City Folk . The easier option is to change the Nintendo Wii date and time instead of the in-game date and time settings. This is, again, due to the in-game settings affecting bank interest, plants , and trees.

To change the Wii time settings, go to the Wii Menu and click the 'Wii' button at the bottom left of the screen. Once there, go to 'Setup' and find the menu which opens up the Date and Time settings.

To change the time in the title screen menu, pick 'Other things', and then click 'Set date/time' and change the date and time to the date and time that is desired.

In New Leaf [ ]

Time travel

Joan mentioning that time travel affects turnips

Most advantages and disadvantages from previous installments are present, although if the Beautiful Town Ordinance is in effect, time travel will not affect the environment, thus, weeds will most likely not appear and flowers will not die.

Unlike previous games, time-traveling has fewer negative effects. Turnips will not rot until the player travels past the next Sunday, and turnip patterns will act normally. The player can use the catalog at any time, and stores cannot downgrade or lose stock. Villagers will also call the player a time traveler in this version as one of their rumors .

Bedhead

The character with a bedhead in New Leaf

A negative side effect of time traveling in New Leaf is grass deterioration . Some players may play the span of 2 or more days in one real-time day. Each time the town is loaded, the grass deteriorates more. Thus, time traveling (e.g, loading the game several times in one real-time day) can be a detriment to the town's grass.

In New Horizons [ ]

There is no in-game option to change the time in this installment of the Animal Crossing series . When talking with Tom Nook in the game menu to discuss settings, there is no option to change the date or time. Time travelling is not considered cheating by the developers, but the game has a flag which determines if a player has time travelled backwards at any point. The flag does nothing.

To change the time in New Horizons , the player must change the time of the console, which can be done by: Entering Settings, scrolling down to System, selecting Date and Time. It is necessary to turn off "Synchronize Clock via Internet" otherwise it will make changing the time impossible. Once you've done that, select Date and Time, and change the date and time to whatever you feel.

Most disadvantages with time traveling in New Horizons are similar to those in New Leaf . Turnips could rot, some islanders may ask to move, and cockroaches may appear in your home. Weeds will appear more quickly and spread in your island, and the player's mailbox may be filled.

One of the disadvantages exclusive to New Horizons is losing your Nook Stop bonus. Each day, you are given Nook Miles for opening up the Stop, whether it is for Nook Shopping, ABD , or to redeem Nook Miles . By trying to time travel, you can lose your streak and be unable to collect some Nook Miles for opening up the Nook Stop .

The game must be restarted when the player has changed the time, so it is recommended you close the software before you change the time. However, it doesn't appear to affect the game until you restart it anyways.

It is still possible to play online even if the clock is not in sync with the real world. There are no effects if the player does so, and the player's turnips will not rot.

In the 1.6.0 Winter update both Turkey Day and Toy Day are locked events that the player could not travel in advance to. However, after the day has passed the player is able to travel back in time to which the event took place.

The effects of time traveling [ ]

As previously mentioned, there are advantages and disadvantages to time traveling. Below are the positive and negative effects on the game:

Positive [ ]

  • Allows the player to attend their favorite events.
  • Allows the player to receive mail sooner.
  • Allows the player to receive bank interest.
  • New villagers will move in sooner.
  • Fruit will grow on trees sooner.
  • Different items available at all stores.
  • Ability to catch out-of-season fish and bugs .
  • Fast-forward through renovations.
  • Grass will regrow. (Grass does not regrow in New Leaf while time traveling.)
  • The player can get multiple K.K. Slider songs without having to wait for next Saturday night.
  • Allows the player to get the Golden Shovel faster ( Wild World and City Folk )
  • Ability to partake in things that would normally be closed at certain hours in real-time.
  • Unwanted villagers can be moved out faster.
  • Speeds up hybridizing flowers.
  • Bushes and trees will grow at a faster rate. (4-5 days)
  • Allows the player to participate in their birthday or their villagers' birthdays more quickly.
  • In New Horizons, the player can time travel to kick out any villager they want.

Negative [ ]

  • There will be more weeds. (Using Wisp by finding his lamp can solve this or Beautiful Town ordinance in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.)
  • Flowers will shrivel or die. (Won't happen if Beautiful Town ordinance is in effect in New Leaf.)
  • The player will miss out on some items for sale in the in-game shops.
  • The player's mailbox may fill up, which will not allow for any more mail until emptied or tossed. (In New Leaf , mail will simply be backed up. Any and all unsent letters will be sent the following day and continue doing so until all scheduled letters are sent.)
  • The player will get bed hair if they travel forward in time more than a week.
  • Phineas will not appear for a while. (Doesn't include New Leaf.)
  • Turnip prices will stay low. (Doesn't seem to happen in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.)
  • Turnips will die when a player time travels backwards.
  • Villagers will talk about how long the player was away for.
  • Cockroaches will appear in the player's home unless the Beautiful Town Ordinance is in effect.
  • Tom Nook's Store has the possibility of downgrading in Wild World and City Folk .
  • In Wild World , the player will be unable to use the catalog.
  • Snowmen in town will melt. This includes traveling backwards, even if the snowman was "alive" on the player's destination day.
  • Villagers may feel neglected due to a lack of interaction and move out. This does not apply in New Horizons.
  • In New Horizons, time travelling backwards with an open plot past 5AM previous day may cause the plot to fill up.
  • In New Horizons, time travelling more than a day forwards or time travelling backwards can cause an already sold plot to glitch out.
  • The player can prevent turnip deaths by burying them, time-traveling, and then digging them back up, and the turnips will remain fresh. (This does not work in New Horizons.)
