DIY Shovels

By
Seren Morgan-Roberts

Description

This page offers a breakdown of the DIY recipes for Shovels.

Flimsy Shovel

The Flimsy Shovel DIY is first given to you by Blathers when he sets up a tent on your island. He asks you to fetch him some fossils and gives you the recipe for one.

To craft a Flimsy Shovel, you need 5 pieces of hardwood, which are obtained from trees using an axe.

This is a cheap shovel to craft.

The Flimsy Shovel is very fragile and will break after hitting a few boulders and digging up a couple of fossils.

Shovel

You can purchase the Pretty Good Tools from the Nookstop in Resident Services for 3,000 Nook Miles. To craft the standard shovel, you’ll need to first craft a flimsy shovel and then use iron nuggets to upgrade it at the craft bench. You can obtain iron nuggets from hitting a boulder with a shovel.

This Shovel is more durable than the Flimsy Shovel.
