They said that demons existed.So I found one on someone's profile picture

[@itfan42]

Torin the theory is true! 😂😂

[@kittencrafts]

This is so helpful because I buried my shovel waiting for it to become gold and it didn't 😂😂😂

[@SimplyPressStart]

Oh gosh, I remember doing that in the older games xD

[@ZeZestyX]

MiniatureKitten that’s wild world

[@Linkzegamers]

That’s also city folk

[@mladydoodawdle5696]

I once saw a golden slingshot floating in my town. I raced over, aimed my silver slingshot, aaaaand the golden slingshot fell into a river. My poor villager's face....

[@SimplyPressStart]

Oooh no! I hope you eventually get one!

[@emmalouise4939]

my bff: Money doesn't grow on trees my bf: trees are paper, paper is money. Therefore money is grown on trees Me: -shows them acnl- Okay lily don't jump to conclusions

[@linkLoverAG]

Money is actually not paper, it's a special fabric. He is incorrect.

[@ninjachestnut1760]

Okay, so I know that this is five years old, and new horizons is literally coming out tommorow, but I want to clarify some things about some of the things that weren't fully explained about the special tools. My intent of posting this is not negative to this video at all, what's explained is well done, just some important things were missed. Axes It was stated that better axes don't break. That's half true, he silver axe can still break, however, it has many more uses then regular. Gold is the only unbreakable axe. Watering can It was just simply stated that better cans water more, but didn't note that silver water five flowers in a + shape, where gold waters nine flowers in a square, the center for both shapes being the flower in front of you. Shovels The only use noted was growing money trees, but that's only available with the gold shovel, no use for silver was stated. With the silver shovel, there is a chance that when hitting a rock that would pop out bells, it will instead pop out ore, which can be very useful for getting golden furniture as all ores can pop out. Those are all the details I wanted to fully explain. Hope this was helpful for anyone who was curious. If anyone notices anything wrong with this, let me know so I can revise my statements please.

[@sugarghast]

Excellent advice, thank you. Everything I've seen has now been confirmed in a way that doesn't have any fluff. :)

[@SimplyPressStart]

Of course, glad I could help :)

[@aleshaprenzler415]

[@_mitch2504]

I got the gold slingshot before the silver one :)

[@Archerryyy]

Me too

[@starbits3942]

Same

[@kagiura.]

Nice

[@cutedarkarts]

I got the gold slingshot before getting the normal one. I guess I just whacked enough balloons with my net? I didn't think that counted tbh.

[@Hap6605]

Same it was easy

[@bruh_7700]

All of your videos seem so happy and carefree. They help me with my anxiety.

[@SimplyPressStart]

I'm really happy to hear that :)

[@NOTFound-qu3ci]

I got the Gold watering can before the silver. ;3

[@peachychann3233]

[@yakineko6635]

I got the golden slingshot before ever upgrading Timmy and Tommy's shop. I just popped it with my net.

[@GlobFrank]

i did too

[@rubyh4023]

I didn't I got the gold first

[@dreo289]

Thats impossible.

[@usernamesarestupid]

PuNcHy :D if they fly to the cliff, they drop down and can be popped with an net

[@dreo289]

George Bryans They can be popped with an axe.

[@Hap6605]

You are amazing. I know new horizons is out but new leaf has more depth to me. So this helped me get the gold shovel!

[@SimplyPressStart]

Happy to help, and glad to hear you're still enjoying New leaf 😁

[@thediamondpyro5763]

The rarest design of trees being cut down is the Triforce from LOZ

[@PeaNutButrz]

*_Thank you so much! This helped a lot :D_*

[@L3ONwithaZ]

I has golden net but I haven’t completed my bug encyclopaedia 😎#rebellife

[@siddikaasaria3695]

I saw a silver slingshot on two silver balloons and shot it down. I picked it up and had it in my inventory but then the game card was removed. It has been around two months and i have shot down every single balloon i see, but i still don't get the silver OR gold slingshot. Is this normal?

[@SimplyPressStart]

+siddika asaria It seems to be incredibly random, but it should happen eventually :)

[@Ausar0]

siddika asaria something that might help if you didn't know: balloons spawn every 10 minutes when the last digit of the time is a 4, and they will come from either the east or west side of your town. 10:04, 10:14, 10:24, etc.

[@sashimifeast]

siddika asaria I have a spare one if you don't have it yet

[@Yhurga0]

I loved the CRYSTAL CLEAR Guide

[@nasreenarshad3329]

Lol nice word play

[@KendoKetsu]

What BUGS me is that I have 29 bugs donated for the silver net. So close...

[@krystaldelgado3091]

I don't know how this happened but I simply chopped down a tree at the Island (with the rental axe Lloid gives you) and it had a heart design on the stump! Luck I guess?

[@SimplyPressStart]

+Krystal Delgado Very lucky! :D

[@krystaldelgado3091]

SimplyPressStart Haha, I love your use of :D I am quite addicted to it myself! I didn't even know about tree stump designs until I saw one of your more-than-perfect videos! :D

[@hylianro]

Krystal Crossing I had a triforce in a old town (bout same time your comment was posted) with a normal axe

[@jacktatnell374]

T&T kinda confuses me because one of the requirements to get it is Gracie’s fashion check but idk how to get Gracie to come to my town 😂

[@SimplyPressStart]

I'm a little rusty with New Leaf, but from what I could see she starts appearing on random days once you have T.I.Y and have spent 70,000 bells there :)

[@filipmle5441]

I got three silver slingshots.......

[@SimplyPressStart]

+Filip Mæle Yeah, you can shoot down a lot of them, so usually if I see the silver balloons I just leave them :P

[@josiahforgotagain]

SimplyPressStart I'd sell them at the Retail, if I were you, I haven't done it, but I predict it'll give you a lotta money!

[@haveoneonme]

[@dizzywizzy1801]

So I'm trying to get the Golden shovel. I have one question on how to get it, which is, can I use the kiosks to buy all 50 fertilizer bags in like two minutes?

[@lucybickerton4573]

My gold slingshot appeared before the silver 🙌🙌🙌

[@SimplyPressStart]

The gold is so handy!

[@peytonreed937]

That golden slingshot looks awesome! Can’t wait get get a slingshot to get closer to it! HER UH HEE HAW!

[@Fangelaxdtz]

The silver slingshot showed up twice before the golden slingshot and it still hasn't shown up yet please explain!!!

[@DarkSapphire0]

I got the gold slingshot first

[@h333idi]

And yet I got all my gold tools from a hacker at the island XD

[@hylianro]

Art farty flutist I got all my money from a rich kid at the island (in my older town)

How do you get the pinwheel? Also acnl turned into acnlwa. Get it? Animal crossing new leaf welcome amiibo

[@MrGlitch_YT]

2:00 omg THERES a silver watering can

[@DonnieTheCroccy]

Not even kidding. I started giving my paths a border, and after talking to one of my villagers, I SAW THE SLINGSHOT JUST *FLOATIN'* BY! WT*F*?! Lucky!

[@roland.w]

I'm not sure if I'm super unlucky or what, but for the past couple weeks of having the museum shop I haven't _once_ seen the silver rod! I know I have more than 30 fish donated, but it just hasn't appeared. I have almost all of the other silver tools, but the rod, axe*, and can, and is really bugging my OCD Do you have any tips? (*i plan on getting the gold axe first, skipping silver entirely. I don't feel like going to the island repeatedly.)

[@majesticespeon3126]

I ended up getting the silver slingshot by only hitting nine balloons with the normal slingshot

[@izzy_r]

Omg thank u for making this video now I can finally make some progress :) love your videos they are all amazing and I would subscribe a million times if i could Thank you! You deserve so much more attention

[@hannaspalomakkii3286]

Wow this will help me a bunch! I'm glad you posted this!

[@Blueskies2513]

Really early in new leaf this July I was hitting ballons with my net cause I had nothing and I got a gold slingshot

[@brianalack6801]

This video was really helpful as I've only just started playing ACNL.

[@derpybagel3471]

im confused though. i shot WAYYY more than 14 balloons. and nothing like that ever happened

[@michaelaburns734]

Golden Axe 50 cedar plants gotcha. Building up the store more as soon my Manson is finished being paid off.

[@sarahmartin1259]

I’ve had this game for 7 years and I’ve only caught 56 bugs. Wtf

[@Cherry-qh9wr]

I finished my fossil collection and still haven’t unlocked the museums second floor what did I do wrong? :(

[@mauriciofierro7750]

Does anyone know if I can get the Golden Slingshot again if I accidentally sold it on ReTail...? :/

[@-trueepicness-3125]

This helped me soo much THX! I love this game and channel!

[@SimplyPressStart]

I'm really glad this helped you!

[@hylianro]

-TrueEpicness- why is Link minecraft.....

[@ChristianoLord9]

*Omw to upgrade to T&T Emporium and getting the gold shovel for more money*

[@carlosestrada51]

I accidentally sold my golden shovel which I’ve had a very long time and was wondering, can I recover it if I were to buy 50 fertilizers again??? Let me know when you get a chance please.

[@raviolican9627]

I know it's way to late but if you sold you just turn off your 3ds without saving

[@faithanne3142]

I was able to buy the gold net, shovel, fishing rod, and watering can I only had the game for a month. Because I went to the island one day and they were there to buy.

[@ZSOCCERR555]

Why my stores not that big? And also I can’t even get the sling shot bc of my bad luck smh

[@koshkia1652]

I've already donated more than 15 fossils, but I don't have a second floor.

[@PepeSifuentes]

If people say that money doesn’t grow on trees they haven’t played animal crossing

[@skpydnglechlk]

Wow! I guess really does grow on trees!

[@pixelvomit5757]

uhh...i saw the gold slingshot balloon thingy before the silver lol what

[@rottenapplesgreenapples8873]

I donated 30 fishies but I still don’t have the silver fishing rod

[@thesweetpinkcutie5552]

Can you get another golden slingshot? Like, if you lose the first one.

[@teko4752]

Silver shovel gives you gems in the rock hiting session instead of money

[@operachicken3870]

Ugh. I only need 7 more fish for the silver rod! But then again I need 16 for the silver bug net lol

[@SimplyPressStart]

Good luck!

[@rubyh4023]

I have the silver bet the silver rod and the silver shovel. I also have a gold slingshot. I only started in august this year lel

[@furiouss75]

Lol i don’t care about the silver shovel because I stole it from a friend

[@smfnweird]

can you also get the golden axe in the t&t emporium?

[@gillybuckley4274]

Did you say MONEY tree? All the times people have said that "money doesn't grow on trees", but in animal crossing it does. Beat that mum! XD

[@SimplyPressStart]

Very true!

[@Isaiahisnotonfire]

How do You Unlock the Museum Floor?, I have 38 bugs, 50 fish & a lot of Fossils donated.

[@deepeaks]

You have to also have at least 1 real painting too. Then like eventually blathers will have a thought bubble and will ask if you can build the second floor as a public works project

[@Hero-co9yo]

oh all I have to do is SimplyPressStart GET IT

[@hylianro]

The4thSonicHero oml kill me

[@blakebarr3768]

I popped a gold slingshot on a pattern, it disappeared...

Thanks for this tutorial I really appreciate it!

[@SimplyPressStart]

Happy to help!

[@mlgpokemen4470]

Can someone give me a silver shovel?

[@user-ud1qf4qn5o]

Didn’t get to finish my rant, I was saying I was such I dumbass, that I forgot to have my slingshot out, because I was too busy gardening.

[@shahadzubailah8423]

[@drendon1638]

oh my god i need to do that but can you explain it in welcome amiibo becase i have that game so please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please

[@SimplyPressStart]

It's all exactly the same in Welcome Amiibo :)

[@starrywynter]

The gold net and fishing rod are kinda pointless if you already caught everything....

[@SimplyPressStart]

I agree, I guess it's sort of a status thing in the long run

[@EternityGray]

After you purchase 50 fertilizer where do you go to get the golden shovel? Do I talk to Leif?

[@SimplyPressStart]

Immediately after purchasing the 50th one, Lief will mention it and give you the golden shovel :3

[@marama619]

For some reason, I’ve gotten the silver slingshot 4 TIMES!! D:

[@SimplyPressStart]

Yeah, it's totally possible to get it far too many times xD

[@animalcrossingmad299]

+Aime Jaramillo It's up to luck, unfortunately! Just keep checking daily and hopefully you'll get it :)

[@aimej962]

K thanks! :)

[@sunshinej3561]

+SimplyPressStart to get the golden axe do you have to buy 50 Cedar saplings or do you have to buy 50 regular saplings or do you have buy any one

[@bluheart7951]

And the Gold fishing rod???

[@SimplyPressStart]

+Ari DaKid Complete the fish collection

[@madhattermegs9574]

So I've got all the fish and diving creatures but when talking to chip he doesn't give me the option to show the encyclopedia and get the rod any ideas why??? 😅 I 100% have them I got the badge from phineas

[@SimplyPressStart]

This reply might be a little late, but just looking it up you aren't the only one running into that issue. Some people said try talking to him multiple times (maybe without fish in your inventory?) so that might help

[@madhattermegs9574]

@SimplyPressStart unfortunately I tried that too🙈guess I'm just an unlucky one😭thankfully a kind person gave me one👍

[@Ang417]

I sold my silver net by accident will the museum sell another one at random?

[@SimplyPressStart]

They will sell another one :)

[@tomdin0]

This video was uploaded on the exact day that I started my New Leaf town!

[@phoebegaming6335]

one question... how do you select your skin tone on the train with rover??

[@SimplyPressStart]

You can't unfortunately, but in New Horizons we will be able to :)

I'm having a problem where the museum shop will only sell the museum floor, the museum wall, the display cases and the silver rod. I've met the requirements for the silver shovel but they just won't sell it.
