'''White turnips''' are a type of flora, having appeared in every main {{SER}} game to date. They can be sold on the "Stalk Market" through [[Tom Nook]] (or [[Reese]] in {{NL}}) which is the ''Animal Crossing'' version of the Stock Market. They can be bought from [[Joan]] (or [[Daisy Mae]] in {{NH}}) on Sundays, before 12 p.m., but must be sold by the following Saturday at the latest, or they will spoil at 6 a.m. on Sunday morning. There are glitches and manipulations in the ''Animal Crossing'' series that keep turnips from rotting over longer periods of time.

White turnips have appeared in every main ''Animal Crossing'' series game, and are bought from Joan or Daisy Mae on Sundays. They are a more risky investment than [[red turnip]]s because the price they sell for is not fixed. Turnips are sold on Sundays for a random asking price of 90-110 Bells per turnip (can be higher in {{PG}}). They can be bought by the player in bunches of ten. In {{WW}} and {{CF}}, the player could only buy a maximum of 990 turnips at a time, but {{NL}} dropped this limit. However, the player's [[inventory]] is only large enough to hold a maximum of 1,600 turnips anyway.

[[Time travel]], which is when the player changes the time in ''Animal Crossing'', has an effect on Joan selling her turnips. She will say she is out of stock which is seen as a punishment for if the player attempts to time travel. However, a glitch can be used to fix this. To fix this glitch, the main Wii/DS time must be changed forwards a minute, resynchronizing the game time with the console time. However, buying Joan's turnips will require waiting a week until she visits again.
 
  
Another way to avoid this is by changing the console time. Changing the console's time changes the game's time, but not the other way around, so there are no consequences.

White turnips are a type of flora, having appeared in every main Animal Crossing series game to date. They can be sold to Tom Nook, Reese, or Timmy and Tommy on the "Stalk Market", which is the Animal Crossing equivalent of the Stock Market. They can be bought from Joan (or Daisy Mae in Animal Crossing: New Horizons) on Sunday mornings, and they must be sold by the following Saturday at the latest, or they will spoil at 6 a.m. (5 a.m. in New Horizons) on Sunday morning. Selling turnips is one of the most lucrative ways of earning Bells in the Animal Crossing series.

Buying and Selling

Buying

Turnips NH Inv Icon.png

White turnips have appeared in every main Animal Crossing series game, and are bought from Joan or Daisy Mae on Sundays. They are a more risky investment than red turnips because the price they sell for is not fixed. Turnips are sold on Sundays for a random asking price of 90-110 Bells per turnip (can be higher in Animal Crossing). They can be bought by the player in bunches of ten. In Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk, the player could only buy a maximum of 990 turnips at a time, but Animal Crossing: New Leaf dropped this limit.

Selling

Tom Nook, Reese, or Timmy and Tommy will buy white turnips from Monday to Saturday. They have two prices a day, one before midday and one afterward. The aim is to sell the white turnips for more than what was originally paid for. White turnips will become spoiled and worthless at 6 AM on the following Sunday morning. Spoiled white turnips can be placed outside to attract ants and flies.

A 597 Bells per turnip price

Normally the price is low, such as 60 or 80 Bells, but the price can occasionally rise higher, to a maximum of approximately 700 Bells in Wild World, City Folk, and New Leaf. Prices are somewhat random, but tend to rise Monday through Wednesday, then usually drop Thursday through Saturday, though it has been known to have a last minute increase.

Price patterns

In Animal Crossing: Wild World, Animal Crossing: City Folk and Animal Crossing: New Leaf, the price of turnips follows one of four patterns every week:

  1. Large-spike - looks like a small-spike pattern, but with the third price being the highest and a dead cat bounce at the very end of the week.
  2. Small-spike - looks like a decreasing pattern, but has a run of five higher-than-normal prices, with the fourth being the highest.
  3. Decreasing - decreases every time the price changes by between two and seven bells.
  4. Random - price is completely random every day.[1]

The probability of each pattern occurring is affected by the pattern of the previous week, as shown by this table, where the rows are the current week's pattern, the columns are the following (upcoming) week's pattern, and the values of the cells are the probabilities of the following (upcoming) week having that pattern.[1]

In other words:

Row = Current trend
Columns = Liklihood of next week's trend
Forecasting Stalk Market Trends
Large-spike Small-spike Decreasing Random
Large-spike Low Low Low High
Small-spike Average Low Low High
Decreasing High Average Low Average
Random Average Average Low Low

Time Traveling

In earlier games, time traveling , which is when the player changes the time in Animal Crossing, has an effect on Joan selling her turnips. She will say she is out of stock which is seen as a punishment for if the player attempts to time travel. This issue could be solved by changing the system time rather than the game's time.

Additionally, in all games, if the player time travels backward, any turnips they have will become spoiled.

Glitches

  • In Animal Crossing, if players have turnips in their inventory and they travel on the train, the turnips will be spoiled when players arrive at the destination.
  • In Animal Crossing: Wild World, if the player places turnips on a table, they will not spoil. To do this, the player must drop an item in front of the table so that when the turnips are dropped, they land on the table.
