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

[-Blue-]

That's not so bad, but that's still a lot more grinding than I hoped for lol. If I wasn't working such a grueling and long schedule I would probably be ok with it, but I don't like the idea of wasting half an hour grinding.

One more thing I have to say (this is my favorite season so I love the mats) is that this season is actually one of the easier seasons to obtain the related crafting materials. Spring bamboo requires you to either have a metric ton of bamboo or go island hopping to get a modest amount from a bamboo island. Summer shells put you at the mercy of the beach RNG. While small snowflakes are the easiest to obtain (I saw them fluttering EVERYWHERE) you need to have a lot of open space for snow boys (and the skills to make perfect ones every day) in order to make the main set. With the fall, you just need to park yourself under a tree, shake it to your hearts content, and clean up every 45 seconds. Maybe I love the season too much but I think it’s VERY forgiving compared to the others.

same here. it's not the worst, but still more grinding than we hoped for. like others have said, if it was during the start of the game i would have shook the trees anyway. but i don't think my schedule now would let me try getting a stack in 1 day. no way. some people are back to their regular lives now.

at least i found out we can just keep shaking 1 tree.
ALL THIS TIME i thought you can only shake them once. (even for tree branches....because really who needs a lot of these)

SOP: for people who keep getting stung when shaking trees, stand in front of the tree and have your net out. You'll automatically turn toward the fallen hive and can swoop them up. Then you can put the net away, knowing that tree is "safe".

It's good to know that you only have to focus on one of each tree, though. That will make life much easier, since a lot of my trees are tough to get at all the way around. I do have a few of each that are freestanding, though, so I'll stick to them.

 

[Underneath The Stars]

yeah i'm also sticking to one tree where the ground is clear. imagine shaking and shaking then you keep getting branches and then the 1 pinecone disappeared because it had nothing to fall on

like i'm not even in a hurry anyway, i don't have the DIYs lmaoooo
but if it wasn't for online boards like this, i wouldn't have learned how to get them!

Shaking trees is never fun for me even when I want the tree branches.

The flying ones seem to be everywhere, I got way more shells than I know what to do with without ever putting any effort at all into looking for them, for spring bamboo I had 5 trees I farmed daily for about one month. None of the required pushing a button over and over for x amount of time. The only other thing that's somewhat close are shooting stars, and those feel a lot more rewarding (and you don't have to clean up tons of junk items either).

Yeah I was essential through it all, so I never really got to sit down and really enjoy NH. So all the constant grinding wore thin on me really quick. I feel this constant grinding for mats really detracts from the chill atmosphere from the previous games. I don't like it, but I deal with it.

as a switch lite user, what also worries me is the requirement of pushing a button over and over. (never had difficulty acquiring the spring bamboo as well) that's why i stopped diving often once i completed the mermaid DIYs. i'm trying to keep my buttons life in the long run here, nintendo! unless they'd tell us how we're able to restore the back up, then i'd feel more at ease. idk if it's just me, but it doesn't really feel sturdy so i avoid other hard games on the lite. maybe i should consider buying a wireless controller and use that when i'm home.

You only need 1 of each tree really, I shook 1 hardwood and 1 cedar tree over and over and got 10 acorns and 10 pine cones.

I saw something like that yesterday afternoon! Fortunately I'm all set then!

Is the Switch Lite compatible with the Pro controller? Yeah it's expensive, but you shouldn't feel like you can't do certain things because Nintendo pushed out a system's controller functions before crowd testing it.

 

[Feunard]

At first, I thought acorns and pine cones would simply spawn randomly next to some trees, in a similar way to the way tree branches behave. When I discovered that I would have to actually shake the trees myself to get them, I said to myself: "Ok, I'm not going to gather any of these resources. It's not like balloons are giving me any seasonal DIY recipe anytime soon...". But today I decided to give it a try, and I discovered my new passion. Shaking trees. I know I'm probably going to regret saying this in a couple of days, but shaking trees is so fun lol. Now I can shake them all day long without looking like a complete idiot because "I'm looking for some fall materials, you know".

 

[smonikkims]

I have a feeling I'm going to have a surplus of tree branches after all this.

 

[Imbri]

I went through the list of Tree's Bounty and Leaf items to see what materials I'll need. Counting up, even with multiples of some items, it isn't too bad. The main materials needed are branches and weeds, so I see this being pretty doable for the season.

Of course, that also depends on my getting all of the recipes!

it is. but yeah it's expensive, especially where i'm from. we're talking like 35-40 USD higher locally.
might buy after the pandemic (is it ever gonna end ) when i travel. i'm done buying stuff online for now. takes forever to arrive.

Selling Tree Branches. Only 890 NMTs each! Come get your bargain!!
Ok, but seriously, another problem I’m having right now is that I don’t see any balloons to shoot? I need my DIY recipes!!

 

[Hypno KK]

I got a grand total of 3 pine cones and 3 acorns and I've got a TON of trees in my town. I wanted to gather a lot of them and even use them as decoration around the island but now I'm not so sure...

I've seen balloons and shot them but no seasonal recipes for me.

after hanging out with @KAYYBE at her island many times, I must say I have been trained well in the art of shaking trees for these materials LOL

I missed the masterclass I think @KAYYBE will have a very popular shop if she kindly continues

 

[John Wick]

I got over 300 sticks, and only 15 acorns.

 

[Skandranon]

thing to do with all those excess branches is just make tons of nets, will bring you closer to the build tool achievement
