Guides How to get the golden tools - Animal Crossing: New Horizons

To remedy this, the developers wanted to thank us with something really useful, glthe golden tools. Essentially much more durable versions of the basic ones, they will allow you to enjoy your island life to the fullest.


To get them you will first have to unlock the related project. Once obtained, you can easily build them in any workbench.


Building one is relatively simple, just having one basic tool of the same category and one Gold nugget. The nuggets can be found by breaking stones on your (or any other) island every day. For more information on the title, please consult ours Complete guide to Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
