Get crafty in FarmVille

Crafting in FarmVille basically uses its pre-existing highlights like that of the Farmer’s Market, Bushels, and the typical neighbouring and harvesting acts. Before its launch, it was called Crafting Cottages. It was only when it was released that it was referred as Crafting Buildings. This feature is only available for farmer’s level 25 and above. They will be able to produce Crafted Goods from Bushels using a Crafting Building.

To start, you can choose your profession. You have three options, which are The Winery for making wine, Bakery for baking pastries, and Spa for producing perfume. For more thorough information, you can click each the “What is this?” icon found on each of these buildings. After that, you can now see the crafting building in the farm.

Now, let’s look deep into the process of making goods. FarmVille players will begin with a Level 10 good. If you click on the Make a Good icon, you will be prompted to the recipes page. The recipe you are entitled to make will vary according to the profession you chose. Lastly, click on Make It icon at the bottom to start making the good.

As a general rule, you need goods for recipes, and you need Bushels to get goods. Bushels can be collected from friends, which isn’t really surprising with this kind of game. Basically, you can get Bushels by harvesting your own from your crops, visiting your neighbour, and accepting Bushels from your friends’ News Feed.

Goods are basically meant to be sold. These are nifty little things that improve the current recipes you have, and unravel a new one. You will receive 1 experience point for every goods you sell to your neighbors. For an inventory, you can check this out in the Sales Report button at the foot of the page.

Your crafting building needs to level up in order for you to make a profit out of it. The level is based according to how many crafting areas you have. You can level up by unlocking the coin option, or by Farm Cash. If you intend to unlock a coin option, then you will need to collect stars. You can start with levelling recipes 6 times which can yield you 1 star and 50,000 coins.

Each recipe can increase its level if you fulfil the requirements for each. So, if you continue making the Goods you need to unlock recipes, you are on the right track. Aside from selling goods, you can also trade goods in exchange for rewards. Furthermore, you can also purchase them from your neighbors.

It all boils down to this — making a complete and comprehensive guide to crafting in FarmVille can only do so much for you. As an individual, you make choices that are different from others. Therefore, you can use this guide in getting tips, but you can still keep your choices at bay. After all, fun is the main reason why you are playing FarmVille in the first place.

Farmville Unwithers

By | Published February 10, 2010

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.

Farmville Roses for Valentine’s Day

By | Published February 4, 2010

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.

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.

Getting Your Villa in Farmville

By | Published January 21, 2010

The Villa in FarmVille is one of the most sought-after status items in the game. It doesn’t provide any function, but it’s a showpiece that lets everyone know you’ve accomplished a lot in the game. Therefore, a lot of people try to get it as quickly as they can. The Villa has some hefty requirements. First, you must be at least level 34 in the game to get it. Second, it costs a whopping 1 million coins. The good news is that if you follow a good Farmville crop profit guide, you’ll probably have that many coins by the time you reach level 34.

Farmville Villa

You'll be the envy of all your farmville friends with this villa on your property.

So getting the Villa isn’t really about a specific strategy as much as it is figuring out the best way to level up to 34 and make sure you have 1 million coins saved up once you get there. There’s obviously a lot of different ways to approach this, but the fastest is to focus on growing the most profitable crops by level with some attention paid to maximizing the XP rewards you can get from certain ribbons. It almost goes without saying that any strategy in Farmville benefits from adding as many neighbors as you possibly can. Having more neighbors means you’ll be able to expand your farm faster without having to pay Farm Cash, and it also increases your opportunities for earning coins and XP as you try to progress to level 34.

Here’s one basic strategy you can follow to level as quickly as possible in the game. Depending on how much time you’re willing to spend in the game, you can focus on fast growth crops and leveraging the soybean delete glitch, or you can take things a little easier by just planting the most profitable long term crops. Here’s what you should be doing, level by level to get your Villa as quickly as possible. These crops focus on XP over coin profit, but you’ll still have enough coins at the end for the Villa.

Best Short Growth Crops (these take less than one day to harvest)

Your Level Best Crop
1-7 Strawberries
8-16 Raspberries
17-28 Blueberries
29+ Black Berries

Best Long Growth Crops (these take one day or longer to harvest)

Your Level Best Crop
1-11 Soybeans
12-14 Peppers
14-18 Red Tulips
19-24 Grapes
25-31 Sunflowers
32+ Peas

One additional trick you can use to improve your leveling rate is to use the Soybean delete trick. After you’ve planted your crops, save one plot and plant soybeans on it. Then use your shovel tool to immediately delete the soybeans you just planted. Then keep repeating the process until you run out of time or patience (it’s a lot of clicking!) It sounds a little crazy, but each time you repeat this cycle, you essentially convert 30 coins into 3 XP. Plowing the plot costs 15 coins and planting soybeans costs another 15 coins. But you get 1 XP for plowing the plot and 2 XP for planting soybeans. Keep doing this and you can quickly convert your excess coins into XP. This is especially useful early in the game when you have a lot of coins leftover after a planting cycle. It’s less efficient later on in the game, unless you really don’t mind all the clicking you’ll have to do.

Using these tips and strategies should help you get to level 34 quickly and have enough coins for your villa. Soon you’ll be sitting inside, sipping some nice tea and reflecting on your farming empire!

Farmville Storage Buildings Guide

By | Published January 20, 2010

A red barn in Farmville is the best option for purchasing storage with Farmville coins.

One thing that happens to everyone sooner or later in FarmVille is that you accumulate a bunch of stuff. Whether it’s from decorations that you buy at the market or the endless stream of gifts from friends and neighbors, sooner or later you’re going to collect a lot of items in the game. A question that faces many farmers early on is what to do with all of this stuff? If you just leave it all out on your fields, your farm starts to resemble a junkyard. Worse, having all of these items lying out on the field takes up valuable planting space. But a lot of us are pack rats at heart (hey, they even have a ribbon for that!) so what’s a farmer to do? The answer is simple: storage buildings.

Purchasing buildings to store your extra stuff in FarmVille isn’t cheap, but there are a number of options and some good tips about how to use storage to the fullest. First, let’s look at the basics. You can purchase storage buildings at the Market in the Buildings section. You’ll need to scroll past the houses until you get to the barns section. Any building that shows a capacity number in its stats area can be used for storage. You’ll see that all of the higher capacity storage buildings you can buy cost Farmville Cash. The best storage building you can purchase with just regular coins is the Red Barn. It costs 40,000 coins and stores 6 items. Most of the colored barns, such as the red, blue and black barns, cost 7 FV cash and can hold 20 items. In addition to barns, you can purchase a tool shed, but it only holds 2 items, which is not very much at all, especially considering how much space it takes up on your farm!

Some of the storage building options in Farmville.

Once you place your storage building on your farm, you can put any of your farm items and decorations inside it by first clicking on the item and choosing Move. Then, click on your storage building and it will be placed inside. If you ever need to retrieve it, click on the storage building and then choose Look Inside. You’ll be able to remove items by selecting Use or just sell them if you don’t want to store them anymore.

If you want to expand the capacity of your storage buildings, you can increase each building twice. The first expansion adds 5 storage slots to a building and the second expansion adds 7 for a total of twelve storage spots. So using this technique allows you to expand a colored barn to hold 32 items! There are two options you can use to do this. You can either pay Farm Cash to expand each building you own, or you can hold a barn raising with your friends. To do it with Farm Cash, click your building, then choose Expand and then click the Buy button next to the building. To hold a barn raising, click on the Expand button instead.

A barn raising is a fun event, but it’s a little complicated. Here’s how it works. First, select this option for the building you want to expand. A message will be posted on your profile telling friends you’re hosting a barn raising. You need to get ten friends to help you within three days for the barn raising to be successful and for the expansion to work. Usually, this means you’ll need to pester some of your friends to help out. It takes some effort, but it’s a viable alternative to spending Farm Cash. A small bonus is that each of your friends will receive 100 coins if they help out with the barn raising.

Storage is a really important part of the game, especially as you progress through the levels and accumulate more stuff. Also, you’ll really need good storage options to earn some of the higher level Pack Rat ribbons, like the blue ribbon, which requires you to own 250 decorations. Knowing how to store stuff and expand your options will make hoarding a lot of items in Farmville a lot easier.
