Redd or Lack thereof

[voltairenism]

he showed up today for the third time for me, but I donated Blather's genuine art two days ago, it seems there is a glitch caused by TTing that makes him not appear and it's only solved by donating art (bless the villagers for gifting me art).

also there are 8 daytime NPCS and only 6 days avaiable for them to come (i think they dont appear when KK is in town) so you might be just unlucky.

I saw him while TTing villagers out and since I stopped that a few days ago I haven't seen him since. Granted, it hasn't been enough time for me to determine if I should be worried about this being a glitch or not yet...but that hasn't stopped me from being concerned nonetheless. I'm considering asking if I can visit someone else's town to buy art to fix it just in case.

i haven’t seen him in 1-2 weeks, either. he came twice during the week that he was added and i haven’t seen him since ;u;

In the last two weeks:

Leif x3
Kicks x2
Saharah x2
Label x1
Flick x1
Gulliver x1
Redd x1

No CJ at all. Bit of a bummer, especially since I don't want anything from Leif, and rarely want anything from Kicks.

I think hes just super rare I havent seen him once since the initial visit either, and I've visited him on other islands/donated real art so I'm pretty sure I dont have the glitch where he doesnt show up

 

[NewHope]

He hasn't shown up in my town since I encountered him for the first time a while back. But his boat will show up every now and again and I don't get it.

If his boat is there, he should be there. He's wandering around somewhere!

netizens say if you TT, he'll disappear(?)

I can't speak for everyone, but I can say I personally don't time travel, so that can't be it.

Yeah I'm having the same problem he arrived on my island right after the update but hasn't came back since.

I heard talk that he spawns similarly to campsite villagers, but on a weekly basis - he has low chance to reappear right after a week with a visit, and the chance increases each week until he gets generated again. Absolutely no idea if this is true so if someone knows of a source for this claim that'd be great.

For my part, he just spawned again today for the first time since his apparently guaranteed re-visit after his initial one (so my third visit). My friend hasn't seen him yet. I think he's simply an uncommon visitor. Art was always the most difficult museum exhibit to complete in past games.

Are you unable to enter his boat when it's there? He doesn't wander the island after his initial visit, he stays on his boat after that and you have to go to him.

 

[Khaelis]

I had him show up twice nearly back to back. Haven't seen him in about a week now. Just bad luck, tbh.

 

[RadDog]

I think I have the glitch to. Have not seen him since his first visit.

I don't think he leaves the boat after the initial visit.

 

[Solio]

Yeah... Haven't seen him since his last visit, where all his art was fake. Seriously, they need to fix his spawn rate. This is too much. Or, rather, not enough, for that matter.

I can't see how TT would cause it- If it has anything to do with date & time, it's likely the glitch is probably more linked to the clock being "synced to the internet". Also, I've been TTing & I have seen him once after his initial visit. Regardless... I haven't seen him in at least a week, so his visits might just be super infrequent. Sucks for art collectors & those of us used to seeing him once a week in the old games.. :\

There's no glitch, you just have bad RNG, or he shows up rarely.
Got him for the second time yesterday.

I could have sworn I had to talk to him on his second visit before I could enter his boat.

Yes before you can enter the boat you have to talk to him the second time he visits, and he'll welcome you to come aboard.

 

[Krissi2197]

He doesn't seem to show up as often. I just had him show up for the first time since his initial visit on Wednesday.

 

[Sencha]

My friends have had him visit so many times, but I've only had him twice, once for the introduction and then once again as normal. I was starting to think it was weird, so it's nice to hear some other feeling the same
