Animal Crossing New Horizons is the latest addition to the Animal Crossing series. If you’re a fan of the series, you’ll know that iron nuggets are an essential part of the game. Iron nuggets are used to build tools, furniture, and other items. In this article, we’ll show you how to get iron nuggets in Animal Crossing New Horizons.
First and foremost, you’ll need an axe to harvest iron nuggets. When you have an axe, hit rock, and iron ore will come out of it. You can have up to three iron nuggets, sometimes up to five, depending on how good your axes are. The flimsy axe can get you three, while the iron axe can get you five. The next tier of the axe can get you around six or seven iron nuggets.
However, on your island, you only have three rocks at first. So, what you need to do is get the plane tickets, which you can unlock on the second day of the game. After the tutorial day and one day past that, the airport opens up, and you get a ticket that will take you to random islands with rocks and trees.
When you are on the island, you do want to be careful because if you eat fruit before you hit a rock, you will shatter it immediately, which means you only get one swing on it. If you’re lucky, you might get two or three iron nuggets instead of one. Rocks do eventually respawn on your island, but it’s unclear how long it takes for them to respawn.
While building up the shop for Timmy, the little Tom Nook guy, he will ask you to build the shop. Talk to your villagers, and they will give you one iron nugget. This part unlocks after you drop the 5,000 new points to pay a fee first debt. So, save up your nuke points, buy a ticket, and then use it to go to one of these islands, where you can crack all the rocks.
Make sure you bring an iron axe because if you have one, you get five swings, and you’re going to get at least five pieces of iron out of it. If you can’t fly yet, just hit the ones on your island. Try not to break them, but if you do, you’ll at least get one, which you can use to build your DIY bench. Again, try to avoid breaking them.
In conclusion, getting iron nuggets in Animal Crossing New Horizons is not a difficult task. All you need is an axe, and you’re good to go. Explore different islands, crack rocks, and get as many iron nuggets as you can. With these iron nuggets, you can build tools, furniture, and other items, making your Animal Crossing experience much more enjoyable.
