What We Know About the Wizard

The Wizard lives in his Tower, which you can find to the far West of the Cindersap Forest. The Wizard’s birthday is on the 17th of Winter, and he could truly be any age, even hundreds of years old, as he is a Wizard after all. He was once married to the Witch, but they are now divorced and not on good terms, it seems!

How to Meet the Wizard

You cannot meet the Wizard until you are invited by him via letter. The letter will arrive in the post the day after you explore the Community Centre and attempt the read the scroll, which you cannot understand. You will then receive a letter from the Wizard, which asks that you come to visit him; after this, you can enter the Wizards Tower. When you do visit, the Wizard will grant you the ability to read the scrolls in the language of the Juminos.

What Does the Wizard Sell?

The Wizard sells items from his Tower. The Wizards Tower is open from 6 AM – 11 PM. You can only access the shop, however, by completing the Goblin Problem quest. In this quest, there is a Goblin that blocks the path to the Witches Hut, if you give the Goblin some Void Mayonnaise, he will step aside, and you can then enter the Witches Hut to get the Wizards missing ink. Once you return the ink to the Wizard, you will now be able to purchase buildings from the Wizard.

The following buildings can be purchased from the Wizard;

Gold Clock; This will prevent any fences on your farm from breaking down – however, it costs a staggering 10,000,000g!
Earth Obelisk; This acts as a permanent warp totem and can be placed on your farm to instantly warp you to the mountains whenever you want to go. Not only does this cost a whopping 500,000g, but you will also need

Water Obelisk; This is another permanent warp totem that can be placed on your farm to transport you to the beach. This costs 500,000g and 5x Iridium Bars, 10x Clams, and 10x Corals.
Island Obelisk; This is a warp totem that you can use over and over again and, when used, will transport you to Ginger Island. To get this, you will need 1,000,000g, 10x Iridium Bars, 10x Dragon Teeth, and 10x Bananas.
Desert Obelisk; This is another Obelisk and so can immediately transport you to the Desert. If you want this, you will need 500,000g, 20x Iridium Bars, 10x Coconuts, and 10x Cactus Fruits.

The Wizards Basement

Once you reach four hearts in your relationship with the Wizard, you will then be able to go to the basement of the Wizard’s House, where you can change your appearance, your name, your gender, and even your favorite thing! This is done via what is called the Shrine Of Illusions, and you need to pay 500g each time you want to use it. In late gameplay, you can even use the basement to transport to the Witches Hut.

There are a lot of quests that happen between you and the Wizard, such as;

”The Dark Talisman”; This only triggers when you reach the crossroads with the Community Centre or Joja Mart. When this happens, you trigger a cutscene at the Railroads, where the Wizard requests that you find a Dark Talisman. You then speak to Krobus, who lets you into the Mutant Bug Lair, where you will find the Talisman and bring it back to the railroad and place it on the artifact.
‘Goblin Problem”; Once you have access to the Witches Swamp, you need to distract the Goblin guarding it with Void Mayonnaise so that you can go inside the Witches Hut, where you will find the Wizards missing ink and return it to him.
