Use: Just face the flowers you'd like to water and press A.Of course, you'll find it at the store at some point too, but I was getting impatient. I just had to go to the Town Hall and read through all of Isabelle's advice! Nice gal, she gave me the watering can as a reward. WIth it, you can plant money trees! This store is not unlocked until you've performed 30 good gardening deeds in town such as planting trees, watering flowers, pulling weeds, and such. Golden Shovel: You must buy 50 fertilizer bags at the gardening store to get it as a reward.You're more likely to find cash when you hit rocks with it. When it's completed, the silver shovel will be for sale on and off at the second floor. Silver Shovel: Keep donating specimens of any kind to the Museum and eventually there'll be an expansion.Also, you can dig holes and plant flowers or trees. You can also use the shovel to hit rocks, which may make bugs come out, reveal precious ore (gold, silver, amethist.) or coins and coin bags (if there's one, there's more - keep on whacking the rock!). You may also find a pitfall seed, which would have made you fall had you not dug it out and stepped on it instead. You'll find either a fossil (to donate to the museum or sell) or a gyroid (collect them or sell them). Use: Look for star-shaped cracks on the ground and dig with the A button.This one makes catching bugs even easier!Īlso available sometimes at the Nookling Junction. Golden Net: Complete the bug collection and show your encyclopedia to Nat at the Bugg-Off Tourney.When it's completed, the silver net will be for sale on and off at the second floor. Silver Net: Keep donating specimens of any kind to the Museum and eventually there'll be an expansion.If you hold the A button, you can sneak on them and then release the button to catch them in a swift move. Sometimes it's trickier than that if they're on a tree, flower, on the ground, or even under a rock. Use: Press A to catch a bug fluttering in front of you.
This one also becomes available at the Nookling Junction, but it might take a couple of days to see it there.
But where do you get it? How? Don't worry, here's where / how you can find each of those crucial items, including the special silver and golden upgrades: How can you fish without a fishing rod, find fossils without a shovel, water your flowers without a watering can, catch a bug without a net, or cut a tree without an axe? What's more, you can now swim as long as you own the wet suit, or call the villagers if you have the megaphone.
You started playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf not long ago, and something as simple as finding some of the main tools has you puzzled.
