The choice between receiving something new or something expensive from Wisp in Animal Crossing: New Horizons boils down to one primary question: Would the player like to get an item that they do not have already, or would they simply prefer that their prize be worth a lot of Bells? If their interests primarily lie with receiving an item that they do not own (regardless of its value), they should select “something new,” and if a valuable item is more appealing (even if it is a duplicate), they should select “something expensive.”

With that established, in these early days of Animal Crossing: New Horizons getting something expensive from Wisp likely makes the most sense. This is because most players have not accumulated a tremendous amount of items at this point in time, which makes it less likely that they will receive a duplicate when choosing “something expensive.” As such, newer players should find that going for something expensive frequently grants them with an item that is both valuable and new, giving them the best of both worlds.
However, this is sure to change as players spend more time with ACNH and pickup a great deal of different items. At that stage of the game, selecting “something new” may be more appealing, as more established players will likely already have a surplus of Bells in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and may be more interested in completing their catalogs.
All of this said, Wisp’s quest is endlessly repeatable, and thus Animal Crossing: New Horizons players need not stress too much about the choice between something new and something expensive. Indeed, fans should feel free to to select whatever option strikes their fancy at the moment, knowing that they can always go for the alternative the next time that they encounter ACNH’s Wisp.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now for Nintendo Switch.
