Farmville has announced the winners of the Valentine’s Day decorating contest. The farms are impressive and can give you some ideas for decorating your own farm. Check them out below and learn more about Farmville tricks like hay bale stacking in our previous Farmville cheats post.

One Farmville Ring to Rule them All

cheatspulse — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 14:00:01 +0000

With Valentine’s Day approaching, Farmville has followed up on the release of their Unwithers with a very interesting limited edition item called the Unwither Ring. Anyone possessing this ring will never have withered crops. It’s a very powerful ring, indeed. But with that power comes cost. This is a very expensive item, costing 250 FV Cash (a little over $40 in real money). It’s intended to be given as a gift, so if you’ve got a Farmville fan in your life, it can make for an interesting Valentine’s Day gift. But anyone who would truly appreciate this kind of gist probably logs into the game religiously and never gets withered crops anyway. Still, it’s an interesting, albeit luxurious, item to have. It’s only available for a few days.

The holder of an unwither ring will never suffer from withered crops.

Farmville Unwithers

cheatspulse — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 13:53:16 +0000

If you have played a lot of Farmville then this has probably happened to you at least once. You get busy with real life, work, or go on vacation then return to the game only to discover all your crops have withered. The results can be devastating: in addition to the lost coins, there’s also lost time, which can be especially painful if you’re growing long-term crops like Yellow Melons or Red Wheat. Up until now, you simply had to plow under the crops and start again, perhaps reminding yourself to set a calendar alarm next time.

But now Farmville has answered the problem with a new item called Unwithers. This is an item you can buy in the market for 10 Farmville cash (about $6 in real money). You get a 3-pack of unwithers, and each one will completely restore your entire farm, reviving withered crops. A nice touch is that you can also use it on your neighbor’s farm. Is it worth $2 a shot. We don’t know for sure. It all depends on how much you value your time and Farmville coins.

Unwithers revive an entire farm's worth of crops.

Farmville Valentines Box

cheatspulse — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:14:12 +0000

The newest item to arrive in Farmville is the Farmville Valentines Box. This is a mailbox that you can place on your farm to send and receive Valentines from your friends. You can then trade those valentines in for special limited edition Valentine’s Day decorations that you can place on your farm. It works a lot like the holiday tree from Christmas but with a few differences.

The big change is that now there is a comparisons page so that you can see how your Valentines collection compares to your friends. Hey, it’s just like grade school all over again! Here’s what your Valentines Box will look like when you’re just getting started.

You can ask your friends to send you Valentines as well as gift Valentines to your friends using the normal gift sending tools in the game. The new Valentines items appear on the top row in pink boxes with hearts. They don’t have separate names, but it looks like the first five gifts you can send are a heart-shaped candy box, a bouquet of purple flowers in a vase, a cuddly teddy bear, a good old Valentine in an envelope, and a round blue present.

The Valentines in Farmville

Farmville Roses for Valentine’s Day

cheatspulse — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 06:21:09 +0000

There are three new seeds as part of the Farmville Valentine’s Day specials. These three new roses are only available for the next 11 days and you cannot earn Crop Mastery for them. But they’re extremely good seeds to get and very profitable both for coins and XP. The Fire & Ice Roses, which are only available to players who are level 35 and above, are by far the most profitable crops in the game, with a stunning Net Profit per hour of 11.56 coins and will earn 0.25 XP per hour, which is among the best rates in the game. The White Roses, which don’t have the same level requirement, are not too shabby either. They have a net profit of 8.04 coins per hour and will earn you 0.17 XP per hour. The bottom line is that for the next 11 days, these are the plants you want to grow, even without the Crop Mastery gains.

How To Get the Best Cafe World Buzz Rating

cheatspulse — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:08:03 +0000

Buzz rating is very important to your success in Cafe World. Your Cafe World buzz rating is what determines how many customers enter your cafe, and the more customers that visit, the more coins you can make to advance in the game. The buzz rating is posted in the top right corner of the game with a green thumb next to it. The highest buzz rating you can get is 105.

Your buzz rating is affected by your customers’ experience in your cafe. There are two main factors that make up this experience:

* How long it takes a customer to find a seat
* How long it takes a customer to get served with food

If a customer cannot sit down at all, or it takes too long for a waiter to bring over food, that customer will leave and give you a negative buzz rating. A negative buzz rating will remove 1 point, while a positive one will only add .1 to your score. So it’s extremely important that you keep your customers happy by providing seats and meals all the time, as it will take you much longer to build back your buzz rating than it will to bring it down.

Keeping a high buzz rating can be very easy if you keep the following in mind.

First, make sure you have enough tables and chairs for everyone to sit. Only one person can sit at a table, so there’s no point in putting more than one chair at a table, unless you’re interested in that for aesthetic reasons. Also, you’ll want to leave a clear pathway to all the chairs and tables. If something is blocking the path, your customers won’t be able to sit on the chair, and your waiters won’t be able to serve the table. Be careful though about adding too many seats before you have enough servers. You can test this out by watching your rating closely. If you’ve done everything correctly and it’s still going down, try removing some chairs to see if that helps.

Second, always make sure you have food to serve. If there is no food in your cafe, your buzz rating will definitely go down. There are a couple of things you can do to prevent this. By planning out a cooking schedule, you can make sure there are always items to be served on your counter and dishes cooking on your stove. Look at the cooking time for each dish and plan accordingly. Keep in mind that you can prepare several of the same dish and it will only take up one counter. You’ll also want to account for your overnight and away hours and plan to have longer dishes cooking; you won’t want to start a shorter dish and be away from your computer for long periods of time, which will then spoil and not be served. Dirty stoves also bring your buzz rating down, so make sure to clean your stoves right away!

Third, hire more waiters. As you level up in the game, it’s possible to add more waiters to your cafe. You’ll want to do so as it costs no money and allows you to serve more customers in a timely fashion. Even if you have lots of seating and food to serve, not having enough waiters to serve the meals will negatively affect your buzz rating when customers have to wait too long for their orders.

Here are a few tricks that can help you maximize your buzz rating:

* Block your waiters behind counters. You can do this by leaving an open space behind a counter and blocking it on either side with a wall, stove, table or other furniture. Make sure, though, that there is at least one empty space behind each counter. If you block a counter in completely, your waiters won’t be able to get to it and your food on that counter will go unserved. Once you block your waiters in, they will immediately serve your customers and clean up without having to walk all the way to the table. This reduces serving time by a lot!

Café World 105 Buzz Rating

* Customize your cafe with lots of doors. The basic door is free in Cafe World, so you can add as many as you want to your cafe. By providing lots of places for your customers to get in and out of your cafe, it’s easier for them to move to different parts of your cafe to find a seat quickly, and more visitors can make their way through your cafe so you can achieve a good buzz rating faster.

* Remove your doors when you’re out of food. If you’re going to be away from your computer for awhile, or you’re waiting for meals to finish and don’t have anything to serve in the meantime, you can remove all of the doors from your cafe by dragging them back down to your customize toolbox. When you have no doors in your cafe, no customers can visit and thus not negatively affect your buzz rating. When you’re back at your computer, or ready to serve more dishes, just add the doors back on and allow the customers to come in. Update: If you’re logged out of the game, your buzz rating shouldn’t be affected negatively if there’s no food to serve.

If you keep a close eye on your cafe and follow all of these instructions, you can be well on your way to maintaining a 105 buzz rating all the time. Happy cooking, chefs!

Cafe World Medals

cheatspulse — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 13:53:20 +0000

Medals have come to Cafe World and they open up some new possibilities for advancement and achievement in the game. Unlike Cafe Points and Coins, which you accumulate through preparing dishes, Medals reward some of the more off-beat things you can do in the game. Currently, there are about 10 medal categories, and you can earn up to four levels of medal in each one. The medals come in four basic levels:

Bronze
Silver
Gold
Royal

Each level gets progressively more difficult to earn in each category and gives out better rewards. You earn coins and cafe points with each medal. Bronze medals reward 100 coins and cafe points. Silver gives you 300 coins and cafe points. Gold rewards you with 500 coins and cafe points. The final medal in each category, royal, has a reward of 1000 coins and cafe points! Going for medals early in the game can be a profitable undertaking. In theory, you can currently earn 19,000 CP and 19,000 coins from all the medals. While the coin rewards aren’t that impressive, the CP can be highly beneficial at the earlier levels.

The ten medals available right now are in these categories:

Adding Neighbors
Earning Coins
Helping Friends
Spending Coins
Serving Food
Getting Gifts
Spoiling your Dishes
Decorations Owned
Owning Items for Your Avatar
Serving Food on Consecutive Days

The last one is probably the most difficult because if you miss a day of serving food, the counter resets. This should not be a problem if you have a large cafe with dishes constantly in production, but beginning cooks may have trouble unless they actually log in to play every day.

About Cafe World Cash

cheatspulse — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 15:49:07 +0000

Sooner or later, as your cafe grows, you’ll start thinking about getting some Cafe Cash. This is a different kind of Cafe World money than regular coins. You don’t earn Cafe Cash from cooking items and serving them in your cafe, like you do with coins. You must buy Cafe Cash with real money if you want to be able to use it in the game. However, everyone starts Cafe World with 5 free Cafe Cash.

There’s a lot of reasons to get additional Cafe Cash in the game. Mostly it boils down to convenience and speed. Cafe Cash comes in really handy when you’re thinking about expanding your cafe, for instance. Many of the bigger expansions require a lot of coins, and more imporantly, neighbors. If you want to be able to expand your cafe without having to become neighbors with a lot of your friends and possibly strangers, you can use Cafe Cash to instantly buy the expansion! Another benefit is that certain decorations are only available with Cafe Cash. This is especially true with the seasonal or event decorations, like the Sports theme or the Alien space theme.

If you want to purchase Cafe Cash it’s really easy to do. Just click on the Add Coins and Cash button that you see on your screen. You will be taken to a different page where you can buy your Cafe Cash. You can purchase your cash with a credit card, Paypal, or one of many different options. The exchange rate of Cafe Cash for real money is about twenty cents in US Dollars for one Cafe Cash. If you purchase in bulk, you can get Cafe Cash for as low as sixteen cents.

A lot of people want to get free Cafe Cash, but sadly there’s no way you can get it for free. There are a few ways to earn Cafe Cash without buying it directly. If you scroll down on the purchase page, you’ll see special offers that give you free Cafe Cash as a reward. However, most of these offers still require you to purchase something, like a subscription to Blockbuster or a credit card offer. Still, if it’s something you were going to buy anyway, this is a great way to get Cafe Cash for “free” on top of the offer you’re buying. In some cases, the cost of the offer is lower than buying the same amount of Cafe Cash directly. You just have to consider the trade off of the inconvenience of having to sign up for something and possibly canceling it later.

Three Easy Ways to Get Cafe World Friends Fast

cheatspulse — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 21:19:22 +0000

Curious how to get more neighbors in Cafe World? In this article, we’ll share three easy ways to get neighbors in Cafe World, but first let’s talk about why it’s important to have neighbors in the game.

Having neighbors in Cafe World is very important to your advancement in the game. First of all, it’s an easy way to earn coins and experience points. You can visit up to 20 neighbors every day and receive 20 coins and 5 experience points for each neighbor. When visiting your neighbors, you can also check out what’s going on in their cafes and get ideas for your own. Neighbors can also visit your cafe and leave you tips, so the more Cafe World neighbors you have, the more tips you can earn.

In addition, Cafe World neighbors are a great source of gifts. They can send you one free gift each day that can be used in your cafe, typically a dish to serve your customers. These dishes earn you coins for free; you don’t have to spend your own Cafe World money to buy them. When you’re starting out in Cafe World, this is an easy and cost-effective way to serve more food and build up your coin balance. Sending free gifts to your neighbors often encourages them to do the same for you, so remember to give gifts as much as possible, and you should be rewarded similarly.

Eventually you’ll want to expand your cafe, so you can add more stoves, counters, and tables and chairs that enable you to cook and serve more food to more customers, thus earning you more coins in the game. In order to do so, you’ll need to have a certain number of neighbors for different expansions. For the 8 x 9 Quaint Cafe, one neighbor is required. The 9 x 10 Corner Cafe requires two neighbors, while the 10 x 12 Family Cafe requires four. You’ll need eight neighbors for the 12 x 13 Plentiful Cafe, 10 neighbors for the 13 x 15 Bountiful Cafe, and so on.

Lastly, the more active neighbors you have, the more you can benefit from their success in the game. For example, the first time a chef cooks a particular dish, or prepares a lot of one type of food, Cafe World will reward the “Chef’s Special.” This is an extra 100 servings of that dish that can also be shared with friends as a notification on Facebook. By checking your neighbor’s Facebook feeds, you can find these specials and get extra servings for your own cafe; and you can do the same for your neighbors. If a neighbor also posts when they earn a medal in Cafe World, you can collect coin bonuses as well, so keep an eye out on those news feeds.

Ready to find out how to add neighbors in Cafe World? There are some easy ways to add neighbors in Cafe World and we’ll list the top three here.

1. One of the first things you can do is click on the Neighbors tab and scroll down to the bottom of the page to see which Facebook friends of yours are already playing Cafe World. These people will likely add you immediately, since they know you. You can check their level, points and coins to determine who is the most active before adding them. The more active a player, the more benefit you’ll receive from add them as a neighbor in Cafe World.

2. If you search on Cafe World neighbors in Facebook, you can also find groups that are set up as neighbor recruiting resources. By joining these groups, you can then post “Add me” messages. People who see these can then add you as a neighbor. Alternatively, you can look for players requesting neighbors and add them as you see fit. To increase your success in these groups, try adding information about how active a player you are and your willingness to help your neighbors.

3. Finally, a great place to check for neighbor requests and post your own is the official Zynga “Add Me” forum for Cafe World, which can be found here: http://forums.zynga.com/forumdisplay.php?f=155. Here you’ll find some of the most dedicated players and you can easily find and add neighbors to help you advance in the game.

Farmville Super Pumpkins

cheatspulse — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 15:09:52 +0000

These pumpkins really are super.

A special new crop has arrived in Farmville for a limited time only. Super Pumpkins are available only for players who become fans of Farmville on Facebook. The new seeds will be available for planting through the end of the month only. They’re a pretty impressive crop with some of the best statistics in the game. They have the best net profit per hour of any crop (almost twice as much as peas!) and they earn XP at a rate equivalent to all the berry crops. Bottom line: if you’re serious about earning coins and XP, become a Farmville fan now and start planting super pumpkins every four hours until they go away!

Here is a look at some of the data.

Cost: 30 coins
Sell for: 100 coins
XP: 1
Harvest Time: 4 hours
Gross Profit: 70 coins
Net Profit (includes plow cost): 55 coins
Net Profit per Hour: 14 coins
XP per hour (including plowing): 0.5

It’s too early to get full Crop Mastery data on the pumpkins, but it appears that you can earn mastery in this crop. The first star requires 1,250 harvests.

Now that's a SUPER pumpkin!
