What is the Max Amount for the Money Tree in Animal Crossing?
The money tree is a popular feature in the Animal Crossing series, allowing players to grow a virtual plant that can potentially generate a large amount of in-game currency, known as Bells. In Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH), players can grow a money tree by burying Bells in a designated spot and waiting for it to sprout. But how much Bells can you grow from a single money tree? Let’s dive into the details.
Maximum Number of Bells for One Plant
According to ACNH game data, the maximum number of Bells that a single money tree can yield is 90,000. This is regardless of the amount of Bells you initially bury; the plant will only give you a maximum of 90,000 Bells per plant.
Benefits of Planting More
While it’s tempting to bury a large amount of Bells in one spot to grow a money tree, planting more Bells than the maximum capacity is a waste. This means that planting more than 90,000 Bells in one spot won’t give you any extra benefits.
What’s the Deal with Shining Soil?
Shining soil is a special feature in ACNH that can increase the chances of getting rare items, including items related to the money tree. Shining Soil is a glowing area in your island that changes location daily. When dug up, it may reward you with a rare item or increase the chances of getting a rare item in the future.
Limitations of Shining Soil
While shining soil is exciting, there are limitations to what you can grow or bury in this spot. For example, shining soil only yields Bells and no other items. Additionally, planting more than 30,000 Bells in one spot will also waste your Bells and not yield any extra Bells.
What Can I Bury in My Shining Soil?
If you have a spare patch of shining soil on your island, you can use it to bury some items. Here are the rules:
- Any item: You can bury any item in shining soil, not just Bells.
- Maximum cap of 30,000 Bells: As mentioned earlier, planting more than 30,000 Bells in one spot will waste your Bells and not yield any extra Bells.
- Rare item chances: Your chances of getting a rare item from shining soil is dependent on the quality and type of items you plant. Some items have higher chances of yielding rare items than others.
Alternatives to Shining Soil
If you don’t have a spare patch of shining soil or prefer to focus on growing a money tree, there are alternatives. Here are a few:
- Plant rare items: Planting rare items, such as certain fruit or seeds, has a higher chance of yielding rare items.
- Dig for fossils: If you’re lucky, digging up fossils in your island’s rock formations can give you a rare item as a reward.
- Explore your island: Walking around your island and investigating any areas you haven’t visited before can also reveal rare items or hidden rewards.
Conclusion
Growth a money tree is an exciting feature in ACNH, but understanding its limitations and rules is important. The maximum amount of Bells you can grow from a single plant is 90,000. While shining soil can be a great resource, planting more than 30,000 Bells in one spot will waste your Bells. For maximum rewards, focus on growing rare items, exploring your island, and finding fossils.
