'''Turnips''', sometimes known as '''White Turnips''', are a type of flora, having appeared in every main {{SER}} game to date. Their price on "Sow Joan's [[Stalk Market]]" (inspired by the real-world {{wp|stock market}} and the commonly followed {{wp|Dow Jones Industrial Average}}) can vary significantly during the week, making Turnip sales one of the most lucrative ways of earning [[Bells]] in the {{SER|nolink}}. They can be bought from [[Joan]] (or [[Daisy Mae]] in {{NH}}) on Sunday mornings, and they must be sold (to [[Tom Nook]], [[Reese]], or [[Timmy and Tommy]], depending on the game) from Monday to the following Saturday at the latest, as unsold turnips will spoil at 6 a.m. (5 a.m. in {{NH|short|nolink}}) on Sunday morning.

Turnips have appeared in every main ''Animal Crossing'' series game, and are bought from Joan or Daisy Mae on Sundays. They are a more risky investment than [[Red Turnip]]s because the price they sell for is not fixed. Turnips are sold on Sundays for a random asking price of 90-110 Bells per turnip (can be higher in {{PG}}). They can be bought by the player in bunches of ten. In {{WW}} and {{CF}}, the player could only buy a maximum of 990 Turnips at a time, but {{NL}} dropped this limit.
+
Turnips can be bought from [[Joan]] (prior to {{NH|short|nolink}}) or [[Daisy Mae]] (in {{NH|short|nolink}}) during Sunday mornings before 12 p.m. and can be sold throughout the week in the town store ([[Tom Nook's store]], [[Re-Tail]], or [[Nook's Cranny]]). The price of turnips varies throughout the week and will follow one of four patterns: decreasing, small-spike, large-spike, and random. It is possible to sell turnips in another person's town, even if their local time is outside that of the player's week.

[[Tom Nook]], [[Reese]], or [[Timmy and Tommy]] will buy Turnips from Monday to Saturday. They have two prices a day, one before midday and one afterward. The aim is to sell the Turnips for more than what was originally paid for. Turnips will become spoiled and worthless at 6 AM (or 5 AM in {{NH|short|nolink}}) on the following Sunday morning. Spoiled turnips can be placed outside to attract [[ant]]s and [[fly|flies]].

By Sunday morning (6 a.m. prior to {{NH|short|nolink}}, 5 a.m. in {{NH|short|nolink}}), all unsold turnips in the player's town will turn into spoiled turnips. Depending on the game, they will be sold at a very low price, or the player may have to pay a disposal fee to get rid of them.

Normally the price is low, such as 60 or 80 Bells, but the price can occasionally rise higher, to a maximum of approximately 700 Bells in {{WW|short}}, {{CF|short}}, and {{NL|short}}. Prices are somewhat random, but tend to rise Monday through Wednesday, then usually drop Thursday through Saturday, though it has been known to have a last minute increase.

In {{WW}}, {{CF}} and {{NL}}, the price of turnips follows one of four patterns every week:
 
−
# Large-spike - looks like a small-spike pattern, but with the third price being the highest and a [[wikipedia:Dead cat bounce|dead cat bounce]] at the very end of the week.
 
−
# Small-spike - looks like a decreasing pattern, but has a run of five higher-than-normal prices, with the fourth being the highest.
 
−
# Decreasing - decreases every time the price changes by between two and seven Bells.
 
−
# Random - price is completely random every day.<ref name="gamefaqs">[https://www.gamefaqs.com/3ds/997811-animal-crossing-new-leaf/faqs/65246 Animal Crossing: New Leaf FAQ by Liquefy], GameFAQs.</ref>

The probability of each pattern occurring is affected by the pattern of the previous week, as shown by this table, where the rows are the current week's pattern, the columns are the following (upcoming) week's pattern, and the values of the cells are the probabilities of the following (upcoming) week having that pattern.<ref name="gamefaqs" />

In earlier games, [[time travel]]ing, which is when the player changes the time in ''Animal Crossing'', has an effect on Joan selling her Turnips. She will say she is out of stock which is seen as a punishment for if the player attempts to time travel. This issue could be solved by changing the system time rather than the game's time.

Additionally, in all games, if the player time travels backward, any turnips they have will become spoiled.

This article is about the variety of turnip tied to the Stalk Market. For the other turnip variety which is exclusive to Wild World and City Folk, see Red Turnip.
Turnips NH Icon.png

Turnips, sometimes known as White Turnips, are a type of currency, having appeared in every main Animal Crossing series game to date. The player can participate in the Stalk Market by buying and selling turnips.

Starting in New Leaf, it is possible to treat turnips similar to fruit, where the player can eat 10 turnips at once. In New Horizons, eating one such bundle will max out the player's stamina. However, this is only advisable in limited circumstances, specifically if a significant amount of stamina is required, and Turnip prices are trending such that the per-unit price will remain lower than that of native fruit until they spoil.

Buying and Selling

Main article: Stalk Market
Turnips NH Inv Icon.png

Turnips can be bought from Joan (prior to New Horizons) or Daisy Mae (in New Horizons) during Sunday mornings before 12 p.m. and can be sold throughout the week in the town store (Tom Nook's store, Re-Tail, or Nook's Cranny). The price of turnips varies throughout the week and will follow one of four patterns: decreasing, small-spike, large-spike, and random. It is possible to sell turnips in another person's town, even if their local time is outside that of the player's week.

Spoiled Turnips NH Inv Icon.png

By Sunday morning (6 a.m. prior to New Horizons, 5 a.m. in New Horizons), all unsold turnips in the player's town will turn into spoiled turnips. Depending on the game, they will be sold at a very low price, or the player may have to pay a disposal fee to get rid of them.

Glitches

  • In Animal Crossing, if players have Turnips in their inventory and they travel on the train, the Turnips will be spoiled when players arrive at the destination.
  • In Animal Crossing: Wild World, if the player places Turnips on a table, they will not spoil. To do this, the player must drop an item in front of the table so that when the Turnips are dropped, they land on the table.
