HOW TO FIND GOLD?

[KittenNoir]

Hello
I'm in the middle of crafting a DIY but I am not sure how I can find gold or how many times a day I can get it.

Gold can come from hitting rocks and shooting down balloons, they are a bit of a rare spawn though.

Do I have to eat fruit before I hit the rock ? Cause I've been hitting rocks and getting no luck
and can I get them if I go to a nookmile ticket island?

No need to, it’s like hitting rocks for clay or iron

No. Don't eat fruit. It will break your rocks.

Gold is just really rare. Sometimes, even after hitting all 6 rocks in your island, you won't get one. It's just really rare.

Thank you

You probably already know this, but you can hit each rock 8 times if you are fast enough.

There are 6 rocks, but one is always a money rock so...

5 rocks x 8 hits each = 40 chances of getting a gold nugget every day.

Also can I ask both of you if you know..

Can you only get the communicator parts in the sand when Gulliver is on your island or can you get them on the island whenever?

When Gulliver is in the island, you can get communicator parts from digging in the sand where it shoots water like how you get Manila clams.

You can only get them after talking to Gulliver. You are limited to just 5.

May I ask... are you trying to build a Robot Hero?

Sometimes I find more gold when visiting mystery islands. And other times I find it on my own island. It's just a matter of luck. To get the best results when hitting rocks, dig a row of three holes between you and the rock that way you don't get knocked back far and can keep hitting the rock.

You can only hit it 8 times.

Gold is quite rare. I sometimes get a random nugget when hitting my rocks but it's usually every few days.
I have also gotten them from balloons and random mystery Islands.

If you need a few pieces of gold in a pinch, mystery islands are a good source of rocks. If you need more than a few though, I strongly suggest trading for it though; gold is rare enough that spending time to farm lots of it isn't really worth it.

I get more of these from mystery island tours.

Is there a certain balloon colour they come from or is it just random?

Thank you I will try looking at mystery islands I believe I only need 10 pieces left so that should be easier

Blue balloons usually carry materials in them. Yellow for bells. Red for DIY (usually) and green for furniture. I believe that's the set-up, but blue is materials.

You can get more than one on a mystery island tour?

Yes, I often get two gold nuggets on mystery tours.
