Best Golden Tools To Craft

Recommended Golden Tools To Make Chart

Tool	Priority
Golden Net Golden Fishing Rod	HIGH
Golden Axe Golden Shovel	MEDIUM
Golden Watering Can Golden Slingshot	LOW

Prioritize Golden Net & Fishing Rod

You will be using your net and your fishing rod the most in the game so it's best to have the golden versions of each tool. This allows you to catch bugs and fish longer with the enhanced durability of the tools.

Axe & Shovel Have Medium Priority

Normal axes are just as good as the gold axe in terms of use, save for the longer durability of the gold axe. Gold shovels don't serve a heavy purpose as you can now make money trees by looking for the gold holes on your island.

Sling Shot & Watering Can Are Lowest Priority

The Golden Slingshot is tougher and hard to break but that's the only effect we've confirmed so far. The main purpose of the golden watering can is to breed gold roses. Other than that, you can use a normal watering can to water your flowers every day.
