Appears in several Animal Crossing Since the beginning of the series games, the Wisp is a friendly NPC who employs the protagonist on the mission of tracking down various soul fragments. According to the franchise's signature real-time in-game schedule, the Wisp will only appear in the late evening or early morning, making him relatively difficult to find, especially for those playing during the day.
But most players will say that he is worth finding, as completing his objective can yield many special benefits. In some iterations, he'll clear the player's house of roaches or perform some other useful task, but generally, the reward for fulfilling Wisp's request is a random item of varying rarity and quality. Of course, this is only a literal, tangible reward for completing the request.
