Can You Buy Stuff from Redd on Other Islands?
As a player of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you might be wondering if you can buy items from Redd, the art dealer, on other islands. The answer is yes, but with some conditions. In this article, we’ll explore the ins and outs of buying from Redd on other islands and what you need to know.
Can Redd Visit Your Island?
Before we dive into buying from Redd on other islands, let’s talk about how Redd visits your island in the first place. Redd will randomly visit your island, and when he does, he’ll set up shop and offer you a selection of art pieces to buy. However, there’s a catch – Redd only visits your island if you have a visitor from another island. This means that if you have no visitors, Redd won’t show up.
Buying from Redd on Other Islands
Now that we’ve covered how Redd visits your island, let’s talk about buying from him on other islands. Yes, you can buy from Redd on other islands, but you’ll need to physically visit the island where Redd is located. This means that you’ll need to travel to the other island and find Redd’s shop.
How to Spot a Fake
When buying from Redd, it’s essential to know how to spot a fake. Redd sells both real and fake art pieces, and if you want to donate it to Blathers, it has to be real. So, how can you tell the difference? Look for bold or colorful details that are not present in the original artwork. For example, Redd’s version of the Mona Lisa has conspicuous eyebrows that are not present in the original.
What to Buy and What to Donate
When buying from Redd, you’ll need to decide what to buy and what to donate. If you want to donate an art piece to Blathers, it has to be real. However, if you’re looking to decorate your home or sell the art piece, you can buy a fake. Fakes are not donated to Blathers, so if you want to donate an art piece, make sure it’s real.
Table: Real vs. Fake Art Pieces
| Art Piece | Real | Fake |
|---|---|---|
| Mona Lisa | No eyebrows | Conspicuous eyebrows |
| Starry Night | No bold colors | Bold colors |
| The Scream | No vibrant colors | Vibrant colors |
Donating Art to Blathers
If you want to donate an art piece to Blathers, you’ll need to make sure it’s real. To donate an art piece, you’ll need to progress far enough into your other museum donations for Blathers to add an Art Wing. In order for Blathers to begin accepting Art, you will need to donate a total of 60 Bugs, Fish, and/or Fossils to the Museum.
Conclusion
In conclusion, buying from Redd on other islands is possible, but you’ll need to physically visit the island where Redd is located. When buying from Redd, make sure to spot a fake by looking for bold or colorful details that are not present in the original artwork. Remember to donate real art pieces to Blathers, and fake art pieces to your home or to sell. Happy shopping!
