Animal Crossing New Horizons: How Do Wands Work?

The best way to transform your appearance without going all the way home, anywhere on the map is by using wands in ACNH. In this game, keeping a wand in your character’s pocket will give you immediate access to change your outfit anytime. None of the Wands are customizable other than Mushroom Wands nor can they be bought from any store. They must be crafted using star fragments as the main common ingredient. Here’s more on what do wands do in Animal Crossing New Horizons and how to use them easily.

ACNH: What Do Wands Do?

The Wand will change your appearance by transforming your outfit. You can equip Wand & by pressing A, select between 8 outfits put together by yourself and see the magic transformation immediately.

Wands won’t break no matter how many times you use them. You also have to note that Wands won’t replace your original clothes, but will act as a top visual layer over them. You won’t be able to remove any particular part of the selected outfit or the original outfit until you transform back to your original clothes. You can transform/revert to your original clothes whenever while using the wand, by pressing X.

How to Use a Wand?

You can use dressers or wardrobes to create and edit wand outfits. Once an outfit is kept inside a wand slot, then any component of that outfit cannot be added in other wand slots, nor can be worn as a original outfit. To use outfits in wand slots you have to always keep the wand with you in your pocket. In case you drop the wand after your transformation, then you will go back to your previous outfit that you wore before the transformation.
