Who is Ted Selly? A complete manual of appearance conditions and how to search

Ted Selly is a traveling hunter who wields the most valuable weapons in the world of Dinkum. You can craft high-performance weapons that cannot be obtained at regular stores by paying materials and dink. His weapons have high attack power and special effects, making them especially suitable for fighting monsters in underground mines.

Appearance conditions

The necessary conditions for Ted Selly to appear are as follows.

• Obtain a hunting license level 2 or higher. Purchase from Fletch using permission points. Without this, nothing will appear.
• Visit after 3pm on a Saturday. Basically, visit only during these hours.
• Appears in a walkable location at least 200 tiles away from other NPCs. They appear in random locations on the island (excluding deep water).

Furthermore, if you select “Dangerous Wishes” at the Wishing Fountain, the appearance rate will increase significantly. With this setting, it will also appear after 3pm on Wednesdays and Sundays. Please note that if you choose a peaceful wish, it will not come to you.

Appearance notifications and tips on how to search

• There are whistle sounds and notifications. When Ted Selly arrives on the island, a distinctive whistling sound will be heard and a message will appear below the minimap saying “I hear a whistling…”. This sound only plays once a day.

Here are some tips on how to search:

1. On Saturdays after 3pm, we will tour the entire island by bike or plane.
2. At night, Ted carries a bat repellent, which makes him more visible due to the light.
3. If it does not appear, try resetting it by repeatedly saving and loading (unofficial but effective).
4. Maximize the frequency of appearance by utilizing the wishing fountain.

Ted Selly does not settle on the island. Manage your schedule so you don't miss each visit.
