Editing Shining soil

The '''Glowing Spot''' appears in {{DnM}}, {{PG}}, {{DnMe+}}, and {{NH|short}}. It's a patch of ground that shines with a ripple of golden light and appears in a random area of [[town]] once per day. The player can dig up the glowing area with a [[shovel]], which will usually unearth 1,000 [[Bells]], but there is a rare chance to dig up 10,000 or even 30,000 Bells. 

Burying Bells in the glowing spot will plant a [[money tree]] sapling; this is the only way to grow [[money tree]] in games prior to {{WW|short}}, and in {{NH|short|nolink}}. The chance of the tree bearing Bells is slim, but increases with the amount that is buried. If the money tree successfully blooms it will bear three bags of Bells, each one containing the same amount as the amount of Bells the player had buried up to a maximum of 30,000 Bells.

In the original games, a [[Katrina]] fortune that increases [[luck]] with money can increase the chance of finding 30,000 Bells. Burying a second shovel in the glowing spot may result in a [[golden tree]] growing in that space, which will bear a [[Golden Shovel]] once it blooms. However, the glowing spot does not always appear in a space that will allow trees to grow, so care must be taken to ensure the spot is suitable before burying the shovel.

In {{NH|short|nolink}}, a glowing spot that is left as an open hole will persist even if the game is closed and launched again that day.

Also, since trees can be moved in {{NH|short|nolink}}, once the player has planted their bells, the resulting bell tree can be dug up and relocated somewhere more convenient.

+Burying Bells in the glowing spot will plant a [[money tree]] sapling; this is the only way to grow [[money tree]] in games prior to {{WW|short}}, and in {{NH|short|nolink}}. The chance of the tree bearing Bells is slim, but increases with the amount that is buried. If the money tree successfully blooms it will bear three bags of Bells, each one containing the same amount as the amount of Bells the player had buried up to a maximum of 30,000 Bells.

-In {{PG}}, shining spots appear daily in a random acre and normally contain 1,000 Bells. If the player has money [[luck]] from [[fêng shui]], the spot can instead contain 10,000 or 30,000 Bells. The higher the player's money luck, the greater the chance of finding 10,000 or 30,000 Bells, and with high enough money luck, the player will only find 10,000 or 30,000 Bells. Money luck from [[Katrina]]'s fortune guarantees that the player will find 30,000 Bells.
-If the player buries a bag of Bells in a shining spot, a tree will begin to grow and may be a [[money tree]] containing, instead of [[fruit]], three bags worth the same as the amount buried. The higher the player's money luck, the greater the chance that the tree will be a money tree. Because the largest Bell bag is 30,000 Bells, the most valuable possible money tree can provide 90,000 Bells total, for a net profit of 60,000 Bells.
+In the original games, a [[Katrina]] fortune that increases [[luck]] with money can increase the chance of finding 30,000 Bells. Burying a second shovel in the glowing spot may result in a [[golden tree]] growing in that space, which will bear a [[Golden Shovel]] once it blooms. However, the glowing spot does not always appear in a space that will allow trees to grow, so care must be taken to ensure the spot is suitable before burying the shovel.
-Additionally, if the player buries a {{I|shovel|PG}} in a shining spot, it will grow into a tree with golden leaves that drops a {{I|golden shovel|PG}} the first time it is shaken.
+In {{NH|short|nolink}}, a glowing spot that is left as an open hole will persist even if the game is closed and launched again that day.
-There is a unique shining spot each day for each of the four players living in town, as well as one for visitors.
+Also, since trees can be moved in {{NH|short|nolink}}, once the player has planted their bells, the resulting bell tree can be dug up and relocated somewhere more convenient.

-In {{NH}}, shining soil has been redesigned to be more subtle, and it appears in a random location on the player's island each day and contains 1,000 Bells. If the player buries Bells in a shining spot, a money tree will grow. The player can earn up to three times the amount buried by doing this.
-Starting in version [[Animal_Crossing:_New_Horizons/Update_history/2.0|2.0]], shining soil can be affected if the player receives a fortune from [[Katrina]]. If the player receives good money luck, the shining soil will contain 5,000 Bells, but receiving bad money luck causes it not to appear at all.
