Players will use several tools in their day-to-day life in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. While they might resort to some more often than others, they’re all equally as useful and worth keeping in the tool wheel.
Best Items to Sell for Profit in Animal Crossing New Horizons
Players can get some easy money in Animal Crossing: New Horizons by selling these items.
At the start of the game, fans will have to make do with flimsy quality tools, which will break after being used a few times. They can eventually make better tools by with the recipes available in the Pretty Good Tools Recipes card available at the Nook Stop terminal in New Horizons. If players want to reach the highest tier of tools, they will have to unlock the golden tool recipes, which require gamers to complete various feats.
Players will have an easier time unlocking some golden tools compared to others, but ultimately, it all depends on the activities that they enjoy doing the most. Gamers can keep track of the golden tool recipes that they’ve acquired by checking the Golden Milestone card in the Nook Miles app.
The milestones that players have to complete to unlock each golden tool are pretty straightforward. However, they require a great effort and dozens of hours of gameplay. Below is information on how players can unlock each golden tool recipe in Animal Crossing: New Horizons:
