As you continue to build and develop you personal Farmville strategy, there are many angles to consider. It’s challenging to weed through all the available information, but here are some Farmville tips and tricks to help you advance.

Generosity Pays Off

I’ve mentioned before that generosity pays off, and it does in several ways. First, you earn coins and experience points (”xp”) nearly every time you help on a neighbor’s farm, whether it’s shooing foxes or gophers, raking leaves or pulling weeds. These are ways to help that are “free”.

Giving gifts is free, but you’re allowed only so many per day of play. However being generous with gifts can fetch you some nice gifts when your neighboring farmers reciprocate with gifts of their own. Fertilizing another farmer’s crops costs you a bit of coin, but gives you xp and usually your neighbors will return the favor by fertilizing your crops when they need it.

Earning Ribbons

“Winning” ribbons will usually give you a bonus of a few xp and a small pile of coins, and many of the available ribbons can be earned with very little effort. Meeting the minimum requirements earns you a yellow ribbon. Next you earn white, red and finally a blue ribbon.

Although just doing your regular farm stuff will easily get you a yellow ribbon in many of the categories, it’s a good thing to be mindful of the requirements for the next award. For instance the Local Celebrity ribbons are earned by adding neighbors, the Good Samaritan by helping neighbors, Cream of the Crop for harvesting your own crops, etc.

Be Efficient

Your goal should not be to have the “prettiest” farm, but the most efficiently run. As you practice generosity, for example, be aware that sometimes helping your neighbor pays more than others, literally. The first 20 people you help in a day pay you 20 coins and 5 xp. After that you get only 5 coins and 1 xp, for the very same effort.

Also in the name of efficiency, plan your planting and harvesting so that you’re not having to set an alarm and pick your crops in the middle of the night. Schedule your harvest around the time(s) of day you will playing Farmville, so that your schedule serves you, not the other way around. This is one of the farmville tricks your family will appreciate.

Helping your neighboring farmers, keeping an eye on your Ribbons, doing it all in an efficient manner are part of a winning strategy for Farmville. This should help a great deal in building your farm.

1.Log on daily to get your coins from the Daily Raffle.

2.Harvest crops as many as possible.

3. If You Can login frequently harvest crops such as raspberry so as to add more no crops harvested in your account and to get more coins sooner.

Hay bales and Ribbons

Rich and want to level quickly? Buy hay bales. They will give you 5 XP each. Buy as many as you have room for, delete and buy more.

Buying hay bales also gives you a Pack Rat Ribbon pretty quickly. You can also get an Architect blue ribbon (with the same reward) by buying rest rooms.

Focus on the animals that yield a lot like Horses, Goats, Ducks and Rabbits (50 coins each). The best trees are Pomegranate, Banana and Passion fruit tree's (100 coins each).

Ask for these as gifts and avoid all the low yielding animals and trees.

For a real FarmVille pro, achieving the right balance of crops, trees and animals is the essence of the game. This is a matter of experimenting with the crops available at each level. This is one reason FarmVille is fiendishly addictive- different levels need different fixes. You will have to study the tables like the ones down the page.

One approach that will work pretty well at every level is the quick turnover of harvests described below. Instead of mixing crops that give XP with crops that give coins, you just alternate between the two. One day you grow crops that give good coins, another day crops that give good XP. Of course, if you are topping up your FV-money with a credit card you can just go for the XP every time.

The faster you keep the plow, sow and harvest cycle turning over, the more coins and XP points you will accumulate. Also, the better the shape that your farm is in, the better it performs. So get all the farm upgrades that you can then add extra fields up to the maximum allowed. Planting and harvesting quickly will soon bring in the rewards.

To get XP Say you have 240 fields (easily achievable). If you sow the cheap, quick harvesting plants (see list below)- the ones that can be harvested in a day and yield 2 XP, your total XP increase for that day will be 720, since:

Each field gives 1 XP= 240

Each field harvested gives 2 XP= 480

Total= 720. A good haul.

If you want to use the higher yielding crops that take longer before harvesting, do a little math to make sure you get the same return. Often, you just don't. On the other hand, slow growing crops may be essential if you can only visit your farm occasionally. Remember that they spoil if you miss the harvesting window

How to Keep the FarmVille-Money Coming

You need to buy the seeds, pay for plowing etc so remember to plant good coin producing crops as soon as funds run low. Always keep something for expenses!

The crops that deliver most coins per hour are listed in the table at the bottom of the page.

If you see “Super Berries” in the market these will harvest in 2 hours and you can sell for 100 coins. Super Berries are usually only around for a day or two though. The last time was when FarmVille reached 5 million visitors, Worth watching out for.

Also, visit your neighbors farms regularly. If you are lucky, a pop up will ask if you want to do some weeding or other job. Filling in surveys, as described below, is boring but gives a steady stream of FV-cash.
