Obtaining acorns and pine cones in Animal Crossing is simple
Acorns and pine cones are very useful materials for crafting many seasonal items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons during autumn. So, it's good for players that Nintendo has kept the process of obtaining them very simple in the game.
All players have to do to obtain acorns and pine cones is shake trees. Players must shake normal hardwood trees to obtain acorns and tall cedar trees to get pine cones. There is also no time constraint with respect to shaking these trees to obtain the items. Players can shake the trees as much as possible to yield maximum gains.
However, it is worth noting that not every shake is going to yield acorns or pine cones. The drop rate of an acorn or pine cone in place of tree branches is about 15%, so players should try their luck. Furthermore, acorns and pine cones are items that are available only in autumn. So, if players want to get these items out of autumn, they must time travel to a place where autumn is ongoing.
