The following tools he can give are:, , , and for Nook Miles 100 each. If the player gets knocked out after being attacked by a Tarantula or Scorpion, or stung twice by Wasps, he will take the player back to the dock; as soon as they recover, he will cancel the red alert that he sends a word to Orville and then allow the player to continue exploring afterwards.

Since the 1.2.0 April Free Update, Wilbur will allow the player to mail to their own house or sell items when on Harv's Island on or after June 1, 2020. The items that are delivered arrive the next day.

When the player wants to return to their island, Wilbur will refer to it by saying the players native fruit alongside the word 'town'. For example, if the players native fruit are pears, he will say 'Peartown' and so on.
