What Is Animated Wallpaper?
Wallpaper That Moves
Animated wallpaper is not just a static image - once put up on a wall, parts of the image will constantly move about! The effects are quite different depending on the wallpaper, but include things like rain falling, clouds moving, bubbles rising, etc.
Get From Saharah Or DIY
Animated wallpapers can be obtained from Saharah, the wandering merchant, or by learning a new DIY Recipe. All of these will be unsellable items and cannot be ordered from the catalogue, so make sure not to destroy or waste them!
