The 1.2.0 update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons is live, introducing a batch of new additions like the botanical merchant Leif and activities to celebrate Nature Day. One such addition is Redd the art dealer, and while he hasn’t shown up for most players yet, we can glean some details about how he’ll probably work from past Animal Crossing games.
Redd’s role in the Animal Crossing economy is to sell artwork and sculptures out of his shop, which is now a seafaring vessel called the Jolly Redd. Some of his artwork will be genuine masterpieces you may recognize from art class, while others will be forgeries. Your job is to suss out which ones are the real deal and purchase them so they can be donated to the museum, which will open a new art wing once you donate your first piece.
In the previous Animal Crossing game, New Leaf, forged artwork would have some noticeable cosmetic distinction from the real artwork, so your knowledge of art history (or Google Image search savvy) could help you determine which ones are real. Redd would only let you purchase one item per day, and he would send the item to your mailbox rather than giving it to you directly. This made shopping at Redd’s a treasure hunt for the genuine article among the forgeries. The fake pieces of artwork were their own collectible item as well, which aren’t useful for museum donations.
The latest update also introduces Leif, who sells lawn and garden items and will purchase your weeds for an inflated price, and Nature Day activities that give you bonus Nook Miles. For whatever reason this was also accompanied by a note from Nintendo that bank interest rates have been lowered. For more details check out the full patch notes.
