Do you mainly buy your tools at your upgraded Nook's Cranny, or craft them still?

[Lady Timpani]

I've been buying them since there are so many cute ones from the shop!

Same! I’ve been in love with the colorful fishing rod after I noticed the other day that the bobber is a rubber ducky.

I didn’t realize that crafting 1000 is worth an NMT reward though... I might have to trade off on buying and crafting.

 

[litilravnur]

I have a ton of materials so I usually craft tools but in a hurry, I buy them. I still need the achievement but I don't know what I'll do after that

 

[Loubelle]

I have been buying my tools and then customizing them before they break, so I don't usually have to buy them super frequently C:

 

[Uffe]

I've crafted tools so often that I had forgotten you could buy them at the store. All this time I've been hitting trees for dark wood instead of just spending a few Bells.

I can't be bothered to craft them, but I guess I have to do it if my Nook's is closed lol. If we could craft with materials from our home storage (without having to take them out), then I'd probably craft tools way more often.

 

[N a t]

No matter how cute, I never buy them because they'll just break anyways... it feels pointless. Now giving the pretty tools to my villagers is a different story because I'm pretty sure that they use them and I know those won't break!!

 

[chibby]

i buy simply bc i like the designs lol

 

[peachmilke]

I buy them if I'm lazy, if I'm not lazy I craft them... I've been spending a lot of time at my boyfriend's underdeveloped island so I'll be craftin them for awhile stealing some of his materials lol

 

[Shellzilla_515]

I buy them because I'm too lazy to craft my own plus I can just constantly repaint them to last longer. I'm pretty sure those nook miles achievements will come back to bite me.

 

[daisyy]

100% buy every time, the colorful fishing rod with the ducky and elephant watering cans are like

 

[Blueskyy]

I buy certain ones just because of convenience alone. Sometimes I craft but mainly buy now.

The Nook Miles reward for crafting tools takes so long though. I've never purchased tools yet and always craft. But I still feel like I'm so far away from the 1000.

BUY.
It makes me unbelievably irritated to craft them.
Why do I need hardwood for a slingshot and shovel aka the stuff I always break hello? And the axe? I need wood to make a better axe? Even though that wastes uses with it?

I already get annoyed when a tool breaks because I try my best to customize them once or twice a day so I don't have to worry about it.

I go through lengths because everytime I tool breaks I just want to scream. I got a bug and now its broken because why? The whole mechanic annoys me.

 

[Emmsey]

I buy the cans, infact its become a bit of a thing I like to buy all the elephant cans from different islands to see the different designs. I have some heavy use on cans so it makes sense.

Mostly I craft everything else as and when.

 

[udinafrog]

It depends. Normally I like crafting them, and sometimes I wait to do it when it's required in a task to earn nook miles. Other times when I feel lazy I just buy them.

 

[TaylaJade]

I buy most of my tools at Nooks (especially the shovels and watering cans which I'm using the most atm) as I wanted to stop "wasting" my resources. I only use the flimsy axe as I'm trying to break enough for the golden axe diy!

 

[Dude_Skillz]

I buy EVERYTHING

 

[Barbara]

I got too lazy to craft them, so now I always buy them. I guess they are overpriced but I really can't be bothered to craft them either.

 

[Mikaiah]

i buy them because i'm the laziest person around.

also i'm running low on stuff like iron/wood (s t a l l s) and have been too lazy to go farming islands again

 

[Dewasa]

I buy what I can and I store doubles behind the shops in the case I need them after the shop is closed.
