A new collectibles system has been introduced into Farmville. Essentially, you collect a series of items and when you gather all items from a collection, you can trade in that set for experience and coins.
You can get these collectibles by friends gifting them to you, plowing, harvesting trees, harvesting animals, and fertilizing friends plots. If you visit the collectables screen and move your mouse over each item, it will give you a hint on how to find it.

Happy New Years everyone! Farmers will be welcomed to the farm today with the ball drop and an interesting freebie. Everyone gets a free level up. If you don’t have a new years ball, supposedly you can buy it in the market. However, I wasn’t able to find it in there.
Also note that January 4th starts “Free fuel week” at Farmville. More details on that to be posted soon.

If you mostly care about decorations for their experience value, then the mystery box might be a good deal for you.
Today, I had some extra farmville cash and thought I’d take a chance on the limited edition Holiday Mystery Box for 16 farmville cash. I ended up winning the Santa’s Workshop, which I would have never bought ordinarily because I think it’s ugly. However, this is a great deal because I ended up getting an item that would have cost 38FV Cash for only 16 FV Cash. I earned 1000 XP rather than the 2000 I would have got if I purchased the normal Santa’s Workshop but overall it’s still a good deal.

If you compare other items that cost about 16 FV cash, you’ll get anywhere from 20 to 400 XP, but I ended up with 1000XP. It’s a good deal in the end. Hopefully you will be as lucky with the Mystery Box. You never know what you’ll end up with.
The Holiday Mystery Box is only available for another four days so you better get yours quick.
Here’s a shot of the sparkly dust that appears when you open up your mystery box.

Tags: 700 experience, experience, hay bale
The quickest way in farmville to climb levels is to buy your experience through decorations. The best experience for your money comes from the hay bale. Read on for instructions.
Buy the regular hay bale and place 144 of them in a grid like in the picture below. This will cost you 14,400 coins and gain you 720 experience points. Then just sell back all those hay bales and you’ll get 720 coins back. The 720 experience points will only end up costing you a total of 13,680 coins and 5 minutes of your time.

Here’s a quick easy way to get 1750 experience points for just 11,000 coins and about 20 minutes of your time. It’s through earning all of the Architect ribbons.
First, you’ll need empty space on your farm and at least 30,000 coins in your account (don’t worry, you’ll get most of this money back).
Then, purchase 30 rest tents from the market. If you already have a couple buildings, you may not need to buy as many as 30.
As you buy your tents you’ll start earning the yellow, white, red, and blue Architect Ribbons which each come with a coin prize in addition to the experience. You’ll gain back most of the money you spent from the ribbon prize money.
Then sell back your 30 tents and you’ll gain back some more of your money. At the end of it all, you should have only spent 11,000 coins for 1750 experience points and all in under 20 minutes!

Hello Y’all. I’ve updated the Market Inventory page with all the lovely crops up to level 20 (because that’s where I’m at right now). This inventory page measures the expected profit and experience you can gain from each crop over a week’s time. Grapes currently are the most profitable crop a level 20 can plant.

This tip is particularly useful if you are just starting to play Farmville when coins and experience go a long way.
If you launch the Farmville game and click on the My Neighbors tab at the top, then one of your random friends that plays farmville may appear asking for help with their farm (though they aren’t really performing an action to ask for help).

Typically its something like “raking the leaves,” “scaring the crows,” or “pulling weeds.” These seemingly mundane tasks are completed with just a couple quick clicks and gain you 20 coins and 5 experience points.

Note that these friends do not need to be your Farmville Neighbors. Farmville just automatically pulls from your Facebook friends list for Farmville players. You can help out on each of your friends farms about once per day. Keep clicking on the My Neighbors tab to see randomly generated friends that need help on their farm.
