omg shovel by a long shot! i'm constantly relocating trees, flowers, bushes, etc. while decorating my island. once i finish (which won't be for a loooong time), it'll probably be the fishing rod since i actually really like fishing!
Oh huh, maybe the ladder or the shovel, I'm not sure x)
The former because I only have one incline on my island atm, the latter probably cause of the fossils, bell trees & flowers!
But I don't play that much so maybe I'm using my nets/fishing rods/slingshots just about as much haha, I don't know :'D
shOvel
i've been really bad about collecting all my resources lately, so i don't use my axe very much tbh, but i use shovels for fossils, moving flowers, decorating, etc.
It's neck and neck between the fishing rod, bug net, and the vaulting pole. I constantly jump over the river while I also keep catching fish and bugs to complete nook miles achievements.
Shovel easily. I use it every day to dig up something and hit rocks. Vaulting Pole and Ladder were used until I build my bridges and ramps, but rarely see use outside of mystery tours now.
I always have 3-4 shovels in my inventory and tend to go through two per day on average. Fishing rod is a close second as it's one of my favorite things to do.
The shovel for sure. I moved an entire tree orchard and replanted countless flowers in the past. Now it’s shoveling up fossils and overgrown hybrids. The slingshot is next, then fishing rod, followed by the net.
For me it's between shovel and slingshot. When I hear balloons go by it's like an itch I need to scratch. I go crazy when I can't find them or make myself leave them behind, lol. I reached the 300 balloons popped achievement months ago so it's not that, I just need to pop them. As for the shovel, it's pretty much all just moving flowers/trees around when I'm landscaping lol
