The Roost - All things Animal Crossing: New Horizons for Nintendo Switch

that’s awesome.

on another note, i really don’t enjoy crafting. i dislike that it’s become so prevalent a gameplay feature. zelda was awesome, too, but the crafting there, and in red dead, and so many others is just tedious and takes away some enjoyment of the games for me. and in animal crossing, not much is more frustrating for me than digging up a golden spot only to have my shovel break before i can bury some bells- no, i have to go and craft a new shovel first. and i just got the golden slingshot a few days ago so i thought i wouldn’t have to worry about that anymore, but noooo that breaks now, too.

ugh. i don’t like crafting.

The tools are mostly all for sale at Nook's Cranny. I don't think I've crafted a new tool in months.

Yeah crafting is the worst, especially for tools, and like @Bohnjaggs I just buy them at Nook's now, with the exception of the golden watering can since that has unique benefits

Also as a side note for anyone interested, I got Stitches at my campsite today and snatched him up with a quickness, so Pekoe is in boxes if anyone wants her!
 
so are you guys carrying around extra tools then? because a lot of my time spent playing is after 10 when the shop is closed. and storing items at the house or going to nooks when it’s open kind of negates any convenience benefit of buying vs crafting. i basically put a simple diy bench in each island quadrant just so i have quick access to one.

This probably makes me sound like a loser but I'm rarely awake after 10. 😂 I carry around some customization kits and I will occasionally customize the tools I might be using a lot because it resets the tool like it's brand new again.

If I need tools after 10 I'll either craft them, or decide that's enough Animal Crossing for the day and turn it off haha. But usually if I'm on at 10 it's because I'm looking for shooting stars and/or Celeste. I also have DIY benches scattered in random places, and it definitely makes things slightly less annoying

Ha, I am with you.
I took a long break from animal crossing (whoops, cockroaches), so if you're on and want to throw up a Dodo code whenever you're back on, I have no turnips but would love to be nosy.
 
So how hard is it supposed to be getting pine cones and acorns? I have only gotten like 3 of each and I shake all these trees like crazy every day.

First, you can shake each tree multiple times. I'm still only getting 1 pine cone a day on average, but I have gotten about 20+ acorns.

I don't have an extra DIY, but I have it myself and can make you some shelves if you want to provide the bookz

What are the required materials?

5 books and 10 wood per bookshelf (so I guess I'll need the wood too, since that stuff ain't easy to come by)

(also I can just order books for anyone who wants shelves since they're only 270 bells each, but can only order 5 a day...or 4 if there's a KK Slider song that I still need. Or you can catalog one of my books if you don't have any, then order some.)

I may mail you some materials. 😬
 
@Heath, I sent you a couple books but forgot about the daily letter limit. Will send you the rest of the stuff over the next few days.

good things take time, I guess.
 
Got a Green Mum this morning, so that just leaves the pure evil known as the Blue Rose in terms of flowers to get. It also means I get to start digging up my mum fields and get some of my dang island back, probably just gonna make some more huge teddy bears.

I'm enjoying the "just play the game for a bit with no real goals" aspect of this more than I usually do.

I'm pretty sure I have a bunch of books in my storage, I'll check and if I do I can cover you if you just send me some wood (heyooo!)...that having been said, if you have the "textbook" version of the book in your catalog, I'm still looking for that one and wouldn't mind if you sent me one :)

My island is covered in flowers and I can't wait to get my final hybrids so I can clear them out...still trying to get the purple pansy and purple windflower, and they're taking foreverrrr. But I did dig up and toss out like 200 flowers over the weekend, felt real good.

I don't know that I do, but I'll take a look!
