To get turnips in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you can’t buy them from the Nook’s Cranny store directly. Instead, you’ll need to find Daisy Mae, who is the turnip vendor that appears on your island every Sunday morning. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to get turnips in Animal Crossing:
1. Locate Daisy Mae: Daisy Mae is a special character who visits your island every Sunday from 5 AM to 12 PM. She will wander around your island, so you’ll need to find her. Look out for a pig with turnips on her head, which makes her easy to recognize.
2. Speak to Daisy: Once you’ve found Daisy Mae, approach her and interact with her by pressing the A button. She will offer to sell you turnips.
3. Buy Turnips: When you talk to Daisy Mae, select the option “I’ll buy some.” This will open up a menu where you can enter the quantity of turnips you want to purchase. You can buy turnips in stacks of 10, with a maximum of 999 turnips in a stack.
4. Confirm your Purchase: After selecting the desired quantity of turnips, confirm your purchase by selecting “Yeah, I’ll buy ’em.” Make sure you have enough Bells to cover the cost of the turnips.
5. Store the Turnips: Once you’ve bought the turnips, they will appear in your inventory. It’s essential to store them properly to prevent spoilage. You can place them in your house storage, leave them on the ground, or bury them in the ground. Just make sure you don’t leave them outside for too long, as they will rot after a week.
6. Sell the Turnips: Throughout the week, you can sell your turnips to the Nook’s Cranny store for a potentially higher price than what you paid for them. Turnip prices fluctuate daily, so keep an eye on the in-game “Stalk Market” to sell them at a higher price and make a profit. It’s worth noting that prices are different for each player, so check your own prices.
7. Time Traveling and Online Communities: If you’re eager to sell your turnips for a high price, you can time travel to different days to check for better prices. However, keep in mind that time traveling can have unintended consequences and may not be for everyone. Alternatively, you can also join online communities where players share their high turnip prices and allow others to visit their islands to sell turnips.
Remember, turnips spoil if not sold by the following Sunday, so it’s essential to keep track of time and sell them before they rot. Be aware that the turnip market can be unpredictable, so it’s not guaranteed that you’ll always make a profit. It’s all about timing and luck!
I hope this guide helps you in obtaining turnips in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Happy turnip trading!
