Learn how to craft the Golden Net in Animal Crossing: New Horizons! Discover the requirements, including filling your Bug Critterpedia and gathering materials.
Hey there! So you're looking to snag the super-durable Golden Net in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, huh? It's definitely a nice upgrade from your flimsy net, and I can totally help you figure out how to get your hands on its DIY recipe.
Here's the main thing: To get the DIY recipe for the Golden Net, you've gotta fill up the entire Bug Critterpedia. That means catching all 80 different kinds of bugs in the game. Yep, all of them!
It's going to take some time because bugs show up at different times of the year, so unless you're time-traveling or hopping over to islands in the other hemisphere, you'll need patience. Don't worry about donating them to Blathers for this specific goal, but he'd be super happy if you gave him the first of each bug you catch!
Once you've successfully cataloged every single bug, keep an eye on your in-game mail. The Golden Net DIY recipe will be sent to you!
Crafting the Golden Net:
When you're ready to craft it, you'll need a regular Net and a Golden Nugget. To make that Net, you'll need a Flimsy Net (which itself requires 5 branches) and an Iron Nugget. As for those Golden Nuggets, you can find them by hitting rocks, but fair warning: they're pretty rare and don't pop out every time you smash a boulder.
The Golden Net is awesome because it lasts way longer than your other nets. It's not indestructible, mind you, but it's a huge improvement. Other than that, it doesn't have any special bug-catching powers, but its durability alone makes it worth the effort!
