If you're an Animal Crossing: New Horizons fan eager to know when Leif, the charming gardening villager, makes his appearance, you've come to the right place. This guide will help you understand Leif's visiting patterns and how to invite him to your island.
Leif's Visiting Schedule
Leif, the green-thumbed squirrel with a passion for plants, visits your island on random days between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM. Unlike some other special visitors, Leif doesn't have a set schedule, so you'll need to keep an eye out for him. Here's a breakdown of his visiting patterns:
- Days: Any day of the week (Monday to Sunday)
- Time: Between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM
- Frequency: Random, so you might see him daily or not at all for a few weeks
How to Invite Leif to Your Island
If you haven't met Leif yet, you can invite him to your island by talking to Tom Nook in his Resident Services tent. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Visit Tom Nook in his tent.
- Talk to him and select the option "I wanna invite someone to live on my island."
- Choose "Leif" from the list of available villagers.
- If Leif is available, Tom Nook will tell you the day he'll arrive. If not, you'll have to wait for him to become available again.
What Leif Offers
Once Leif is on your island, you can find him near the Resident Services tent or in the plaza. He sells a variety of potted plants, shrubs, and flowers that you can't get from other villagers or by digging up plants on your island. Here's a table of some of the items he offers:
| Item | Price (Bells) |
|---|---|
| Pothos | 2,000 |
| Snake Plant | 2,500 |
| Calathea | 2,800 |
| Money Tree | 3,000 |
| Peace Lily | 3,500 |
Leif also offers a variety of shrubs and flowers, so be sure to check his shop regularly to see what he has in stock. Additionally, Leif can give you a special DIY recipe if you show him a specific item, but we'll save that for another guide.
Tips for Catching Leif on Your Island
Since Leif visits randomly, here are some tips to help you catch him on your island:
- Check your island daily, especially between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM.
- If you see a villager with a thought bubble above their head, it's a sign that a special visitor might be on your island. Talk to them to find out who it is.
- If you're not home, you can still catch Leif. He'll wait on your island until 11:00 PM, so make sure to check in before then.
Happy island-hopping, and we hope you find Leif on your island soon! Don't forget to share your island's progress and tips with fellow Animal Crossing fans. Until next time, keep those plants watered!
