'''Wisp''' is a character in the {{SER}}. He is absent from {{DnM}}, {{WW}}, and was initially absent from {{NL}} until the [[Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo|{{WA|short|nolink}}]] update. In {{PG}} and {{NH}}, he is a spirit, while in {{CF}} and {{NLa}}, he is a genie. He appears at night, usually between 12 A.M. and 4 A.M. (8 P.M. to midnight in {{CF}}).{{cn}}
+
'''Wisp''' is a ghost in the {{SER}}. He first appeared in {{DnM+}} and appears in all subsequent games except {{WW}} and {{NL}} prior to the {{NLWa|short}} update. He appears at night, usually between 12 AM and 4 AM, and rewards the [[player]] with items or services after a specific task is completed.

[[File:Wisp NLWa.png|thumb|left|100px|Artwork from {{NLWa|short}}.]]
−
In {{PG}}, Wisp's appearance is governed by a player's play history, and if certain conditions are met he will appear in a random acre between 12:00 AM and 4:00 A.M. Wisp can appear concurrently alongside other special visitors such as [[Katrina]], and must be sought out by the player when in town; [[Copper]] will not mention anything about Wisp. To determine whether or not Wisp will appear the game keeps track of how often the player loads their game within a given time period. While the exact algorithm used to determine Wisp's appearance is unknown, the following logic provides an approximate representation:
+
Wisp is a white ghost with beige lips, a pair of white teeth, black eyes, and gray eyebrows.
  
−
The game checks the value of the 'Wisp counter'. If this value is 3 or greater, Wisp will appear. The value of the counter starts at 0, and increases by 1 the first time the game is loaded and saved on a given day. The value is reset if: the player time travels backwards any length of time, the player goes more than 7 days without loading their game, the month changes, or the player finds Wisp and captures all five spirits.
+
In the [[First generation|first-generation games]], {{PC|short}}, and {{NH|short}}, Wisp wears a {{Wp|hitaikakushi}}. In {{CF|short}} and {{NLWa|short}}, Wisp wears a blue genie hat, which has a round-shaped golden brooch with a red gem and a feather with its colors being blue, cyan, green and white.
  
−
Therefore, it is possible to see Wisp at maximum every three days. This also means that the player is in direct control of Wisp's appearance and it is not based on specific dates, nor is it random, and it is not affected by extraneous factors such as town status, or the amount of weeds in a player's town.
+
===Personality===
 +
In {{DnM+|nolink}}, {{PG|nolink}}, and {{DnMe+|nolink}}, Wisp is kind, polite, and friendly to the player, but also fears his boss. In {{CF|short|nolink}} and {{NLWa|short|nolink}}, he acts like a helpful and generous genie. In {{NH|short|nolink}}, he has a more fearful side, despite being a ghost himself, as shown when the player approaches him to talk to him and then he mistakes them as a ghost and gets scared.

====Wisp's request====
+
==Appearances==
−
Wisp will not be initially visible when the player enters the acre in which he is hiding. He makes himself known by calling out to the player, and will only appear when the player reaches the spot he is hiding at. Wisp will ask the player to catch five spirits found around town with their [[net]]. After the player catches and returns the five spirits, Wisp will offer them one of three rewards as thanks:
+
===In {{PG|nolink}}===
 +
[[File:Wisp PG.png|thumb|right|80px|Artwork from {{PG|nolink}}.]]
 +
In {{PG}} and {{DnMe+}}, Wisp can appear in a random [[acre]] between 12 AM and 4 AM. In order for Wisp to appear, the [[town]] must have 8 or more [[weed]]s. Once this requirement is met, Wisp will appear on a random night in 2 to 4 days. The weed requirement does not have to be maintained between meeting it and Wisp's appearance. When the player first enters the acre where Wisp is, he is not visible, but makes himself known by calling out to the player. With Wisp's name appearing as "??????", he says "Ooo... Can I ask you something...?" If the player gets near Wisp, he tells the player that he must collect five {{I|spirit|PG}}s that have wandered into the town by 4 AM, or else he is in big trouble and his superior will punish him horribly. He asks the player to catch them with a [[net]] because he has seen how good the player is at catching [[bugs|insects]] and offers a reward in return. Wisp will return every night for 7 days until his spirits are caught and returned to him. Once his spirits are returned or 7 days pass without doing so, Wisp will appear again in 2 to 4 days as long as the town has 8 or more weeds.
  
−
*'''Pull Weeds!''' - Wisp will remove all the [[weed]]s in the player's town, once they enter and exit a building.
+
Each Wisp spirit is placed in a different acre and does not move between acres. However, the game internally categorizes the spirits as insects, meaning, due to the fact that having a low [[environment rating|town rating]] drops the chance that a [[fish]] and insect spawn in an acre to as low as 50% chance each, it is possible in a town with low rating that a spirit will not spawn when its acre is entered. If this happens, the spirit is relocated to a new random acre and the chance of it spawning is calculated again when that acre is entered. The spirits initially only appear within acres in the B, C, D, or E rows; but can appear in any acre, including ones within the A and F rows, if they are relocated due to the player either leaving an acre without catching one or low town rating. Spirits cannot appear in an acre where another spirit resides or where the player is moving into.
−
*'''Paint my roof!''' - Wisp will [[Paint|repaint]] the roof the player's house in a color of their choosing.
 
−
*'''Give me stuff!'''  - Wisp will give the player a random [[furniture]], [[gyroid]], [[wallpaper]], [[flooring]] or [[clothing]] item. Usually this is an item that is not currently in the [[catalog]], and can even include rare and unorderable items such as those from [[Gracie]], [[Sahara]], and [[Wendell]].

After the player catches and returns the five spirits, Wisp will offer them one of three rewards as thanks:

*'''Pull weeds!''' - Wisp will remove all the [[weed]]s in the player's town.

In {{CF}}, on certain nights the player can find an [[Empty lamp]] somewhere in the town. After the player finds the lamp and returns it to Wisp, the genie will ask the player to rub the lamp in their attic, where he will offer to grant them one wish. The player does not have to rub the lamp straight away, and can save the wish for later use. As in his original appearance, Wisp will offer three choices:
+
*'''Paint my roof!''' - Wisp will [[Paint|repaint]] the roof of the player's [[player house|house]] to a color of their choosing.
 +
*'''Give me stuff!''' - Wisp will give the player a random item that they have not obtained before, which can be any reorderable [[furniture]], [[wallpaper]], [[flooring|carpet]], [[clothing]], [[umbrella]], [[stationery]], or any of the following non-reorderable items: [[Redd]]'s unique furniture, [[raffle]] furniture, [[Wendell]]'s wallpapers, [[Saharah]]'s carpets, [[Gracie]]'s clothing, or [[gyroid]]s. If the player has already obtained all of these items, Wisp instead gives one of them at random.

===In {{NLWa|short|nolink}}===
 +
[[File:NLaWisp.png|thumb|right|300px|Wisp in {{NLWa|short}}.]]
 +
In {{NLWa}}, a {{I|magic lamp|NL}} will appear randomly while walking around town. If the player places the lamp in their house, Wisp will appear. Unlike {{PG|nolink}} and {{CF|nolink}}, Wisp helps with [[amiibo]]. Wisp can only be used once a day. While Wisp did not appear in {{NL}} at the game's launch, he was added as a major character in the {{NLWa|short|nolink}} update. When the player rubs the lamp, Wisp will appear and the player can use an amiibo card. When the amiibo is scanned, the player can choose for the villager to move to their town or to get something, usually furniture.
 +
 +
If a special character's amiibo is scanned, that character's [[RV]] will appear at the [[campground]] with special items that can be bought with [[MEOW Coupon]]s. Wisp will take over running buildings if the usual proprietors are in their RVs; however, he will not be able to fulfill some roles, such as [[Isabelle]]'s, preventing the player from using their services for the day. If the [[Villager (Super Smash Bros. series)|Villager]] amiibo is scanned, Wisp will appear at the campground in an RV.
 +
 +
If the player attempts to sell the magic lamp at [[Re-Tail]], [[Reese]] will inform them that the lamp is valuable and will ask if they are sure they want to sell it. If the player sells it anyway, Reese will buy it for 10 [[Bell]]s and it will reappear outside the next day.

===In {{NH|short|nolink}}===
 +
[[File:NH Wisp Scared.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Wisp mistaking the player for a ghost in {{NH|short|nolink}}.]]
 +
In {{NH}}, Wisp returns to a form closer to his original appearance. On certain nights from 8 PM to 5 AM, the player can find Wisp wandering around the island. If talked to, Wisp will mistake the player as a ghost and get scared, which leads to his five {{I|Wisp spirit piece|NH}}s scattering across the island. As of version 1.5.0 of the game, performing the "Haunt" or “Scare”  [[Reaction]] in Wisp's line of sight will trigger the same event. Similarly to {{PG|nolink}}, the player can find and catch the five spirits using the Net and return them to Wisp. After the spirits are returned, Wisp will offer the player the choice of receiving an item of something new or something expensive. If the spirits are not returned, they disappear from the inventory the next day.
 +
 +
Since version 2.0, Wisp can be invited over to [[Harv's Island|Photopia]], [[The Roost]], and the [[archipelago]] in {{HHP|short}} for a vacation home. The latter is the only way to obtain {{I|Wisp's photo|NH}}.

Wisp is a ghost in the Animal Crossing series. He first appeared in Doubutsu no Mori+ and appears in all subsequent games except Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: New Leaf prior to the Welcome amiibo update. He appears at night, usually between 12 AM and 4 AM, and rewards the player with items or services after a specific task is completed.

Characteristics[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Artwork from Welcome amiibo.

Wisp is a white ghost with beige lips, a pair of white teeth, black eyes, and gray eyebrows.

In the first-generation games, Pocket Camp, and New Horizons, Wisp wears a hitaikakushi. In City Folk and Welcome amiibo, Wisp wears a blue genie hat, which has a round-shaped golden brooch with a red gem and a feather with its colors being blue, cyan, green and white.

Personality[edit]

In Doubutsu no Mori+, Animal Crossing, and Doubutsu no Mori e+, Wisp is kind, polite, and friendly to the player, but also fears his boss. In City Folk and Welcome amiibo, he acts like a helpful and generous genie. In New Horizons, he has a more fearful side, despite being a ghost himself, as shown when the player approaches him to talk to him and then he mistakes them as a ghost and gets scared.

Appearances[edit]

In Animal Crossing[edit]

Artwork from Animal Crossing.

In Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori e+, Wisp can appear in a random acre between 12 AM and 4 AM. In order for Wisp to appear, the town must have 8 or more weeds. Once this requirement is met, Wisp will appear on a random night in 2 to 4 days. The weed requirement does not have to be maintained between meeting it and Wisp's appearance. When the player first enters the acre where Wisp is, he is not visible, but makes himself known by calling out to the player. With Wisp's name appearing as "??????", he says "Ooo... Can I ask you something...?" If the player gets near Wisp, he tells the player that he must collect five spirits that have wandered into the town by 4 AM, or else he is in big trouble and his superior will punish him horribly. He asks the player to catch them with a net because he has seen how good the player is at catching insects and offers a reward in return. Wisp will return every night for 7 days until his spirits are caught and returned to him. Once his spirits are returned or 7 days pass without doing so, Wisp will appear again in 2 to 4 days as long as the town has 8 or more weeds.

Each Wisp spirit is placed in a different acre and does not move between acres. However, the game internally categorizes the spirits as insects, meaning, due to the fact that having a low town rating drops the chance that a fish and insect spawn in an acre to as low as 50% chance each, it is possible in a town with low rating that a spirit will not spawn when its acre is entered. If this happens, the spirit is relocated to a new random acre and the chance of it spawning is calculated again when that acre is entered. The spirits initially only appear within acres in the B, C, D, or E rows; but can appear in any acre, including ones within the A and F rows, if they are relocated due to the player either leaving an acre without catching one or low town rating. Spirits cannot appear in an acre where another spirit resides or where the player is moving into.

After the player catches and returns the five spirits, Wisp will offer them one of three rewards as thanks:

  • Pull weeds! - Wisp will remove all the weeds in the player's town.
  • Paint my roof! - Wisp will repaint the roof of the player's house to a color of their choosing.
  • Give me stuff! - Wisp will give the player a random item that they have not obtained before, which can be any reorderable furniture, wallpaper, carpet, clothing, umbrella, stationery, or any of the following non-reorderable items: Redd's unique furniture, raffle furniture, Wendell's wallpapers, Saharah's carpets, Gracie's clothing, or gyroids. If the player has already obtained all of these items, Wisp instead gives one of them at random.

In City Folk[edit]

Artwork from City Folk.

In Animal Crossing: City Folk, on certain nights, the player can find an empty lamp somewhere in the town. After the player finds the lamp and returns it to Wisp, the genie will ask the player to rub the lamp in their attic, where he will offer to grant them one wish. The player does not have to rub the lamp straight away, and can save the wish for later use. As in his original appearance, Wisp will offer three choices:

  • Weed! - Wisp will remove all the weeds in the player's town, excluding clovers and dandelions.
  • Smash Roaches! - Wisp will remove all the cockroaches in the player's house.
  • Give me stuff! - Wisp will give the player the choice of a random furniture, accessory, hat or clothing item. Usually this is an item that is not currently in the catalog (excluding rare items).

In Welcome amiibo[edit]

Wisp in Welcome amiibo.

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo, a magic lamp will appear randomly while walking around town. If the player places the lamp in their house, Wisp will appear. Unlike Animal Crossing and Animal Crossing: City Folk, Wisp helps with amiibo. Wisp can only be used once a day. While Wisp did not appear in Animal Crossing: New Leaf at the game's launch, he was added as a major character in the Welcome amiibo update. When the player rubs the lamp, Wisp will appear and the player can use an amiibo card. When the amiibo is scanned, the player can choose for the villager to move to their town or to get something, usually furniture.

If a special character's amiibo is scanned, that character's RV will appear at the campground with special items that can be bought with MEOW Coupons. Wisp will take over running buildings if the usual proprietors are in their RVs; however, he will not be able to fulfill some roles, such as Isabelle's, preventing the player from using their services for the day. If the Villager amiibo is scanned, Wisp will appear at the campground in an RV.

If the player attempts to sell the magic lamp at Re-Tail, Reese will inform them that the lamp is valuable and will ask if they are sure they want to sell it. If the player sells it anyway, Reese will buy it for 10 Bells and it will reappear outside the next day.

In New Horizons[edit]

Wisp mistaking the player for a ghost in New Horizons.

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Wisp returns to a form closer to his original appearance. On certain nights from 8 PM to 5 AM, the player can find Wisp wandering around the island. If talked to, Wisp will mistake the player as a ghost and get scared, which leads to his five Wisp spirit pieces scattering across the island. As of version 1.5.0 of the game, performing the "Haunt" or “Scare” Reaction in Wisp's line of sight will trigger the same event. Similarly to Animal Crossing, the player can find and catch the five spirits using the Net and return them to Wisp. After the spirits are returned, Wisp will offer the player the choice of receiving an item of something new or something expensive. If the spirits are not returned, they disappear from the inventory the next day.

Since version 2.0, Wisp can be invited over to Photopia, The Roost, and the archipelago in Happy Home Paradise for a vacation home. The latter is the only way to obtain Wisp's photo.

Wisp

Description NTSC-U: Cute Lil Wisp is first met when he shyly asks for your help in collecting five spirits before the sun rises. Who would have thought the simple bug net would be able to catch them? Cool! When you next meet him, in Animal Crossing: City Folk, he becomes a lamp spirit that's scared of ghosts. Don't judge him! Ghosts are scary!

PAL: When cute Lil Wisp shows up in the first Animal Crossing, he shyly asks players to help him collect five spirits before dawn. Surprisingly, you can just use any old bug net for the job! In Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City, he appears as a lamp spirit with a fear of ghosts. Odd thing for a spirit to be scared of, don't you think?
