Celeste, the charming owl sister of Blathers, is a beloved visitor in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. She brings with her not just her sweet demeanor, but also incredibly special star-themed DIY recipes. Players eagerly await her arrival, but a common question arises: How Often Can You Get A DIY From Celeste? The answer isn’t quite as straightforward as once a week, but understanding the mechanics can help you maximize your chances of receiving those coveted celestial creations.
Deciphering Celeste’s DIY Delivery Schedule
The frequency with which you can obtain a DIY recipe from Celeste hinges primarily on whether or not a meteor shower is occurring on your island. Celeste is programmed to visit your island randomly, typically between 7 PM and 4 AM. She will show up on nights when there is a meteor shower, however, she can visit your island even when no meteor shower is present. It’s important to actively search for her on clear nights after 7 PM to avoid missing her. This random appearance, combined with specific criteria, influences the DIY recipe drop rate. When she does appear, she will gift you one DIY recipe related to stars, constellations, or space.
Several factors influence how often Celeste graces your island with her presence and a new DIY. Consider these points:
- Meteor Showers: Celeste is guaranteed to visit on nights of significant meteor showers.
- Daily Villager Visits: The game has a limit on the number of special visitors that can appear on a single day.
- Island Rating: A higher island rating doesn’t necessarily increase Celeste’s visit frequency, but ensures the game mechanics for special visitors are functioning correctly.
Tracking these factors is the key to understanding her visit patterns.
The reality is, Celeste’s visits are not guaranteed on a set schedule. While a meteor shower guarantees her appearance, she can also appear on other clear nights, though with less frequency. Think of it this way:
- Meteor Shower Night: Guaranteed DIY recipe
- Clear Night (no meteor shower): Chance of a DIY recipe
- Other special characters visiting: Slightly reduces the chance of seeing her
Therefore, actively searching for her and understanding these probabilities are the keys to amassing a collection of her unique DIYs. Also, you can only receive ONE recipe per day from Celeste, even if you visit another player’s island.
