“Animal Crossing: New Horizons” has brought with it many exciting and transformative new features, one of the most impactful being its crafting system. At its center lies a quest for various crafting materials – with Iron Nuggets holding special importance as essential resources needed for crafting essential tools as well as furniture items. This guide offers helpful insight on sourcing and using Iron Nuggets to elevate your island experience.
Locating Iron Nuggets on Your Island
Rock Mining Basics
Iron Nuggets in “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” can be gained primarily through mining rocks on your island. Mining requires striking these small silver rocks with either a shovel or an axe to release materials containing Iron Nuggets for extraction.
Techniques for Efficient Mining
Each rock on your island could produce up to eight items every day; however, players face the additional difficulty that their character recoils after each hit, potentially decreasing how many materials can be gleaned from each rock. To address this situation strategically minded players utilize various tactics. For instance:
- Positioning for Maximum Yield*: To maximize yield when hitting rocks, dig two to three holes or position objects around yourself so as to prevent recoil effect and allow you to strike rapidly without shifting or moving away from target rock. This setup prevents recoil effect allowing rapid strikes without recoil effect allowing rapid impact of rock on target stone without movement during impact process.
- Daily Resets**: Rocks reset every calendar day, making daily mining of rocks beneficial to maximize Iron Nugget haul. To do this, create an efficient daily mining routine on your island that prioritizes Iron Nugget collection.
