With this new addition, you no longer need to lug ladders around whenever you want to scale cliffs on your island. The newly added ladder set-up kit will allow you to build permanent ladders that you can climb up, making it much more convenient for you and your visitors to get around.

First off, head to Nook’s Cranny to purchase the ladder set-up kit DIY Recipe for 2,000 Bells. Select it from your inventory to learn the recipe, then craft it at a workbench.

The materials required are listed below:

  • Ladder
  • 5 Wood

You do still need to craft a ladder for this recipe, but you just need to craft enough for your island and you never need to worry about it again.
