Players will use several tools in their daily life in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. While they may resort to some more often than others, they are all equally useful and worth having in the tool wheel.
Best items to sell for profit in Animal Crossing New Horizons
Players can get easy money in Animal Crossing: New Horizons by selling these items.
At the beginning of the game, fans will have to settle for thin quality tools, which break after a few uses. They can eventually make better tools by using the recipes found on the Pretty Good Tools Recipes card found on the Nook Stop terminal in New horizons. If players want to reach the highest level of tools, they must unlock the golden tool recipes, which require players 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 they enjoy doing the most. Players can keep track of the golden tool recipes they have acquired by checking the Golden Milestone card in the Nook Miles app.
The milestones that players must complete to unlock each golden tool are quite simple. However, they require a lot of effort and dozens of hours of playing. Below is information on how players can unlock each golden tool recipe i Animal Crossing: New Horizons:
