The resources in Animal Crossing: New Horizons for Nintendo Switch are a crucial part of the game. Each of these tools has varying levels of quality, which ensures that the stronger they are, the longer they will last. Although the game's breakable tools can be frustrating, you can eventually craft golden tools that are more durable.While golden tools can still be broken, they are the best tools you can make. Although other crafting tool recipes will gradually become available, golden crafting tools have specific criteria that must be met before you can obtain their DIY recipes as rewards. This guide will provide you with all of the information you need about golden resources.Each golden tool has its own set of requirements, but keep in mind that completing these tasks will take some time. You won't get them in the first week of playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons, so don't hold your breath.We studied these methods using sources who have crafted these objects, but we haven't been able to replicate them all in our games. As we confirm their methods, we will update the criteria for each ACNH Item below.Break 100 axes with the Golden Axe, the simplest being Flimsy Axes.Shoot 300 balloons with the Golden Slingshot. Look for a gold-colored balloon in the sky after reaching this landmark. The DIY recipe will be inside if you shoot that down.Catch any fish in Critterpedia with the Golden Fishing Rod. Here is the full list of 80 fish. Donations to the museum do not seem to be needed for this. The recipe will be mailed to you the day after you catch your last fish.Reach a 5-star town rating with the Golden Watering Can. Following this grade, Isabelle will provide you with the DIY recipe.Golden Net: This is currently unknown, but in previous games, catching any bug was a prerequisite. Given the Golden Fishing Rod's necessity, this seems to be highly probable. We're on our way to getting confirmation.Golden Shovel: Unconfirmed at this time. According to sources, saving Gulliver on the beach 30 times is needed, but we haven't seen official confirmation or video proof of this. We're on our way to getting confirmation.You'll get the DIY recipe for the golden edition of the tool once you've completed all of the requirements. All you'll need to make a golden tool is the basic version of the tool for which you have the recipe card and a Gold Nugget, which can appear spontaneously when you're hitting rocks, just like Iron Nuggets.Any of these recipe cards would take the average player weeks, if not months, to complete. Gold Nuggets are uncommon, even with the recipes, so keep that in mind. Finally, keep in mind that even golden tools will break. Golden tools are not indestructible endgame machines, even though getting to the point of being able to craft them is a reward in itself.
