To make a Golden Tool, however, you must first earn its DIY recipe by completing a certain achievement in New Horizons. Golden Tools are a sign of how far you’ve come in New Horizons - and double up as a useful bragging right. On this page: How to earn and craft: If you want to craft a Golden Tool, however, you first need to find it’s DIY recipe. Unlike other tool recipes, such as the Flimsy tools, you have to complete a very specific achievement in the game to discover these recipes. Each Golden DIY recipe follows a similar forumla - you’re going to need one Golden Nugget and one copy of the tool, which you’re making a golden version out of. If you wanted to craft the Golden Slingshot, for example, this means that you need one Golden Nugget and one Slingshot to complete the DIY recipe of. Below you’ll find all the tools in New Horizons that have a golden variant:
Axe Fishing Rod Net Shovel Slingshot Watering Can
It should be noted that neither the ladder or vaulting stick have a golden level variant. As you can see Golden Tools are quite difficult to both find and make. Honestly? Due to how Golden Tools can still break, we recommend saving your Golden Nuggets for rare pieces of furniture. To craft a Golden Axe you need:
1x Golden Nugget 1x Axe
This task will take you around about a year due to how many of the fish that visit your island’s waters are seasonal. While you can keep track of which fish you’ve already caught using the Critterpida, it’s also a good idea to add each one to the Museum. By doing so you’ll earn the DIY recipe for the Golden Fishing Rod and complete the fish exhibit in the Museum at the same time. To craft the Golden Fishing Rod you need:
1x Golden Nugget 1x Fishing Rod
If you’re planning on earning this net, then this is also an excellent opportunity to complete the bug exhibit in the Museum. Not only will this help you complete both of these goals, but donating the bugs will help you keep track of exactly which ones you’ve caught. To make a Golden Net you need:
1x Golden Nugget 1x Net
If you want to craft a Golden Shovel, you’ll need:

To earn the Golden Slingshot you need to shoot down 300 balloons, completing the ‘It’s Raining Treasure’ Nook Miles achievement. Once you’ve done this, the next balloon that ventures across your island will be gold and shooting it down will reward you with the Golden Slingshot DIY recipe.

1x Golden Nugget 1x Slingshot
