Rake the leaves

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.

Plowing

Posted in Crops, Getting Started | September 2nd, 2009 by farmersue | No Comments »

Howdy Partners. Here’s my first tip to all you new farmers out thar.

When you first start playing Farmville, you’ll have 6 plots of land plowed and some will have plants growing. What you may not know, is that you can actually plant in more than just those 6 squares. Click on the plow icon (green tool in lower right) and you can start plowing in any of the green areas of your land.

But be sure to stick to some sort of uniform grid so that you don’t waste any space. This will become important later. Also remember that every square you plow will cost you 15 coins.

Once the land has been plowed, you can start planting new seeds and making money.
