Farmville Strategy Guide - Facebook Game

Getting Started

In this FarmVille guide, we’ll not only cover the basics like how to play
FarmVille but we’ll also discuss winning FarmVille strategies, how to get lots of coins, and great FarmVille tips to help you succeed in the game. We’ll continue to update this FarmVille guide as new FarmVille game features evolve and are released by Zynga. If you have any helpful tips, or strategies that are missing, let us know and we’ll update the guide to include them as well.

Customizing your FarmVille Character – Upon starting FarmVille you’ll be presented with the opportunity to change the appearance of your FarmVille avatar. You can select different colors for his/her skin, hair, eyes, clothes, etc.

Moving your FarmVille Character – You can make your character walk by clicking the arrow button and then clicking on the location on the screen where you want them to go.

Customizing your Farm – In the beginning you’re given a very bland plot of FarmVille land. You can easily customize the look and feel of your farm by simply rearranging items.

Plowing Fields in FarmVille – When you first begin, you’ll need to plow your fields before you can plant crops. To do this, just select the hoe at the bottom of the screen. Then simply click on the field you’d like to plow. Once you’ve plowed all your fields you’re ready to plant crops.

Planting Crops in Farmville – Go to the Market and click on the Seeds icon to select the type of seed you want to use. After choosing your seeds, plant them by clicking on one of your fields.

Harvesting  Crops in FarmVille – Once your crops are fully grown, you’ll need to harvest them. You can do this by selecting the harvesting tool and clicking on a field. Soon after harvesting your FarmVille crop you’ll receive some coins for your hard work.

Planting and harvesting other crops is very much the same but the time to harvest and profits vary according to the seed you choose. The higher the level required to buy a particular kind of seed, the more potential profit. An important thing to know is when to harvest your crops, especially if you’re growing different kinds. Make sure you harvest only when the crop reaches “full growth”; otherwise, you’ll receive a lot less coins.

Working the Livestock – FarmVille is home to pigs, rabbits, sheep, cows, horses, chickens, and other livestock. FarmVille animals are much like the crops you harvest in that you’ll need to put in the work to raise them before they can produce goods (i.e. eggs, etc.). The costs associated with each type of livestock and the profits vary between animals. Once you’re reared your livestock you’ll be rewarded with some coins or FV notes for your hard work just like you’ll recieve after harvesting crops.

After you’ve earned some money from your farm you can go back to the Market and buy more seeds, equipment (i.e. vehicles), land, animals, trees, buildings, decorations, etc. to expand your farming operation.

Experience Begets Leveling – Experience points are awarded for doing such things as planting, plowing, helping FarmVille neighbors, and buying things. As you accumulate more experience points you’ll reach new levels in the game.

Getting ribbons – As you play FarmVille you’ll be awarded with ribbons for certain accomplishments. These ribbons can be published to your Facebook profile’s wall for your friends to see. We advise you to do this for only really big accomplishments however, as many Facebook friends and FarmVille neighbors find this to be very annoying.

Importance of Neighbors – If you go to the “My Neighbors” page you’ll be able to see all your FarmVille neighbors. From there you’ll be able to invite and accept in invitations. Neighbors are important to have because they limit the amount of property you can buy. Thus it is important to keep inviting more friends to be able to increase the size of your farm and therefore make more FarmVille money.

Gifting to Neighbors – You can send and receive gifts from your FarmVille friends which are usually in the form of animals or trees. Giving gifts to your FarmVille neighbors often is a great way to receive gifts as most players return the favor. Many times these gifts will be something you need and perhaps something you can’t afford to buy at the time!

Helping your Neighbors – It’s important to visit and help your FarmVille neighbors from time to time as it encourages them to do the same. An added benefit is that you’ll earn experience points and FarmVille money.
