So gathering acorns & pine cones isn't as fun as I thought it would be...

[Underneath The Stars]

we have to keep shaking trees several times until one falls? why no one from the south hemsworth or people who tt told me about this
idk, i assumed it'll be easier to get them (like the summer shells) because i see people selling these materials and craft it for people (for a price ofc, but still)

i guess it's also because i'm never really fond of shaking trees anymore anyway. and to me, selling tree branches are such a hassle. but it is what it is. annoying but it gives me something to do. and i have a 3 months to collect it anyway so it's all good.

so i guess it's the maple leaf that is easy to get like the cherry blossom petals. can't wait for that & the mushrooms. i never had mush or fall items yet, i was waiting for this organically woooo

You want mine? lol, they've been sitting in my inventory since April-May or whenever they fell.

When the game was released, I was all gung-ho about shaking trees because all of us were tiny babies with nothing in the beginning, so I didn't see it a huge chore since I was like "what item will I get from the trees today?" whereas now, I have a good amount of items cataloged and I'd rather not win another school desk.

But yes, you will be a tree hugger for fall.

Oh, I only shook each tree once. Got a ton of branches and bells and 3 each acorns and pine cones. We can shake multiple times to get more?

I'll have to go back and hit my trees again. Maybe go to an NMT island and farm that way, too. Thanks for the heads up.


I'm also looking forward to crafting the fall and mush items. Like you, I haven't bought anything out of season (well, a couple of clothes when I visited SH islands, but that doesn't count), and I have plans on where and how to use things.

Southern hemisphere island here, I could've definitely told you it is tedious as hell Just be glad you are playing when there's a decent spawn rate for acorns and pine cones. Pine cones used to be so rare that I thought they were a fake, fan-made item. The maple leaves are super easy as you catch them with a net like the petals. I hope the fall season goes well for you though! Personally I'm SUPER excited that my island is going into Spring soon <3

oh you're from the south hemisphere i never really thought of that but yes i understand. i would have definitely enjoyed it more when the game is new. i shook a lot of trees back then to get a furniture, wasp nest, and trying to complete that nook miles on catching 5 wasps lol. so definitely wouldn't mind doing it back then. but you don't have to give them to me, it's fine.

i have a good amount of items cataloged too so shaking trees doesn't excite me anymore

The shaking for pine cones and acorns definitely isn't as convenient as shaking for ornaments in the winter. Now you get branches, then you get nothing but ornaments depending on the tree.

i went in on fall season blind, didn't watch any videos or guides/tips regarding the new craft materials this season so when i shook so many trees (once) i was surprised i didn't get any! i was like but i remember isabelle announcing so then i talked to my friends if they were able to get acorns & pine cones and HOW. today i read online that it is not that common.

I didn't tell you specifically but a while ago I did wish luck to one person who was planning on mass gathering stacks of those

I just don't like raining on people's parade...

@Underneath The Stars
Yeah, tbh, I didn't realize that acorns and pinecones at the time was season exclusive and I didn't understand why a lot of NH people were attacking my trees for the materials. That was the noob beginner brain me and I was telling friends who were NH to shake their trees for acorns while they were so baffled at what the heck I was talking about, lol.

I will say that you probably want more pinecones than acorns. a lot of the diys right now for NH people are big pinecone gobblers.

What really gets on my nerves is the unholy amount of branches we get from this.
It's bad enough that we have to pick them up everyday to keep our towns clean. But this morning I amassed like 4 stacks of branches just to get some pinecones/acorns! There aren't even that many (good) DIYs that require branches!

hahaa. yea farming this is not gonna be cute. those islands with TONS of tree's bounty lamp used as a "plant" probably acquired it by buying online or something. it's just... i can't imagine having patience to craft so many of these.

EXACTLY
when i found out that selling the tree branch (edit: the wreath) only goes for 100 bells each? bye

Good tips as I am just going to start playing on my first day of Autumn shake shake shake

 

[Pintuition]

I'm here realizing I have a really inadequate amount of hardwood trees and probably have to go to nook mile islands to steal trees to plant lol. I shook trees for like 20 minutes this morning and got 1 acorn. It's my pride and joy! I didn't expect it to be this hard either. I visited someone earlier in the year that TT'd to fall and got a bunch of materials quickly since their island wasn't built up and there were trees everywhere. I didn't really think it would be hard until today!

 

[Roxxy]

Ok, this isn’t fun so far 60 branches but think doing ok as have 7 acorns. Where do I get pine cones?

 

[Bilaz]

This is part of the reason why, after TTing to Autumn I gave up and bought the items I wanted

You get pine cones from cedar trees! I had removed all hardwood trees so was wondering why I was only getting pine cones and zero acorns...

Thanks, think I will need to plant more trees

 

[Livia]

I shook all my trees and only got 1 pine cone and 1 acorn. Good to know we can shake them more than once to get more.

Hey, this is my element. I savored the last few days I had to island hop SH islands to obtain pine cones and acorns. It doesn’t bother me too much that I have to work for a while for em. I don’t really care that it makes a glut of sticks in the process. It’s my favorite season and I LOVE the materials association with it!
