How Often Can Villagers Leave?
Villagers can leave approximately every 15 days if you allow them to move out, but if you persuade them to stay, the next villager can ask to leave in 5 days, depending on various factors such as the number of villagers on the island and the player’s interactions with them. The frequency of villagers leaving is influenced by the player’s actions, including talking to villagers, giving them gifts, and completing tasks for them, which can affect their decision to stay or leave the island.
Understanding Villager Behavior
Villager Movement Patterns
To understand how often villagers can leave, it’s essential to comprehend their movement patterns and the factors that influence their decision to stay or leave. Villagers have a cooldown period of 15 days after one of them moves out, during which no other villager will ask to leave. However, if a villager asks to leave but decides to stay, the cooldown period is reduced to 5 days.
