In Animal Crossing New Horizons, you are able to enjoy shooting stars. When the shooting stars event is happening, it is time for you to make a wish so that you can get star fragments for crafting a number of items. But, how to make a wish upon a shooting star in Animal Crossing New Horizons? Let’s find how to wish upon a star in this game here.
Wishing Upon a Shooting Star
You need to know when the shooting stars will happen. Usually, the sign that shooting stars will happen is that the night sky is clear. So, when you find that the sky is clear, the shooting stars may come. When this event is happening, Celeste does not need to be in your town.
When a shooting star twinkle is seen or heard by you in the sky, you can make a wish by following the steps below.
-
- First, to make a wish, you have to choose the best spot where it has a clear view of the horizon. After you choose the best spot for making a wish, you also have to make sure that you are not holding anything and you are not sitting. It is because you are only able to make a wish if you are standing and do not have anything in your hands.
- Then, when you are ready, you have to look at the night sky by pressing up on the right thumbstick. If you move, this camera placement goes back up.
- Now, you must press A to make a wish when you see a shooting star in the sky. You have to repeat these steps everytime you want to make a wish.
- If you have made your wish, the shooting star will shine brightly to confirm it.
Getting Star Fragments After Making A Wish
If you have wished on stars, there will be star fragments, large star fragments and zodiac star fragments that you can get. But, they can be obtained if you make a wish when a shooting stars event is happening. Every shooting star that you wish will give you one fragment. If you want to get large star fragments, you have to keep wishing on stars when they pass. The large star fragments drop randomly with the smaller star fragments.
If you are on your island when you make a wish on the shooting stars and there is no one who is visiting, the most star fragments that will be found next day is 20. However, if you have got visitors on your island, it is possible to get 20 more, even though it is at a rate of one fragment for every 5 of their wishes as explained on IGN.
The star fragments can be collected the next day. You will see them washed up on beaches across your island.
The Things That We Can Do with the Star Fragments
After the star fragments have been collected on the beach, you may have no idea about what you have to do with them. The star fragments that you collected can be materials for crafting some items. However, if you want to craft the items with them, you need the recipes.
According to the Polygon site, Celeste will appear after 7 pm on your island where the shooting stars event is happening. When Celeste is seen by you, you have to talk to her and then she will give you one of a series of special DIY recipes that you are only able to get from this owl. The recipes include a variety of wands and also furnishings. However, according to iMore, you can also wait for Celeste after you collect the star fragments and when you see her, you can talk to her. The point is that Celeste appears randomly and it is rare. So, when you see her, just talk to her to get the recipes.
If you want, you are able to go to your friends’ island to talk to Celeste for getting a recipe. However, it is important for you to know that you can only get one recipe a day. The meaning is that if you and your friend have Celeste in your town, you are only able to get one recipe that day from her, even if you talk to her on different islands.
In the list below, you are able to see the list of recipes for crafting a number of items from star fragments.
