List of Contents
The best way to get Iron Nuggets is by hitting rocks on the islands you visit on Mystery Tours, the tours you can go on by using the Nook Miles tickets. Make sure you have 2,000 Nook Miles to buy a Nook Miles ticket!
Remember to bring axes or shovels to hit the rocks with!
Mystery Island Tours and Nook Miles Ticket Guide
You can only get Materials from the Rocks on your island a limited times per day, but you always have unlimited chances of finding them so long as you keep going on Mystery Island Tours.
If you dig two holes behind you when farming the various materials from rocks, you can avoid being bounced back too far, allowing you to hit the rock 8 times repeatedly to get the maximum number of materials.
Rock Materials | |||
---|---|---|---|
Clay | Stone | Iron Nugget | Gold Nugget |
You can find a variety of materials from hitting rocks, such as Clay, Stone, and Iron Nuggets, but all of them have a random chance of dropping.
Iron Nuggets are somewhat uncommon, but you should be able to get at least one or two from Rocks most of the time.
If you eat Fruit, you'll gain a point of Stamina, which will cause you to break a rock when you hit it with a Shovel.
Stamina won't decrease until a day has passed, so try picking up a tree with the Shovel or sitting in a piece of furniture to decrease your Stamina.
Iron Nuggets have a lower drop rate than normal stones, but you should still get one or two of them for each rock you hit with a shovel/axe.
This means that if you want to get a lot of these, the only option is to do this daily.
You can make a rock garden to put all your rocks into one location, making it easier for you to farm iron nuggets every day!
Blue Balloons have a higher chance of dropping crafting materials. |
You can sometimes get Iron Nuggets from the Presents dropped by shooting down balloons. You need a Slingshot to shoot down the balloons, and they can be pretty rare, so shoot them down whenever you see or hear them!
What can you get from Balloons
If your friend has untapped rocks, you may ask them if they can let you get resources from their island. You can also have them offer you Iron Nuggets as payment if you help around their island!
You can also check out online if someone has any rocks to spare!
Message Boards
Once in while, you can get Iron Nuggets by talking to a resident. The chance of receiving them is pretty low, so it's not recommended as an effective way to gather them.
