  • Kent — Arrives in year 2; not present in year 1.
  • Leo — Requires the host’s island introduction progress. Home changes after the host’s move-to-the-valley event; this is not a fixed daily schedule.
  • Sandy — Ordinary friendship/gifting requires the Oasis introduction event to have been seen by at least one player. Reaching the Desert also depends on your travel options.
