Leveling Quickly in Farmville


Leveling quickly in Farmville is really more of a science than an art. Given a sensible, consistent strategy, you can easily breeze past all your friends on Facebook with these simple Farmville cheats.

Ribbons are a great way to earn both coins and experience points (XP). There are a couple of ribbons that you should earn right away. First, earn the Local Celebrity ribbon by getting 50 friends. This requires no effort whatsoever and yields a quick 180 XP and 18,500 coins.

Next, go to your Farmville news feed section and look at your friends’ posts. Some posts will have the option to adopt a pet. Adopt 2 pets to unlock the Animal Shelter ribbon. Also, be sure to help your fellow farmers whenever you can, and you’ll be granted the Good Samaritan ribbon, worth 425 XP and 18,500 coins.

Most other worthwhile ribbons will be earned automatically as you progress through the game. Ribbons are only a very small part of the equation, however. Farmville is all about crops, so it makes sense that most of your experience will come from them.

Some crops are a complete waste of time and will slow down your leveling drastically. For example, artichokes provide one of the lowest amounts of both XP and coins. While your friends are wasting their time on artichokes, follow this list of “cash crops” from top to bottom for optimum leveling speed:

1. Strawberries – A no brainer; you should keep planting strawberries up to level 15 or so if you’re able to harvest them frequently.

2. Rice/Pumpkins – Choose rice if you have large gaps between your Farmville sessions, as it takes longer to grow. Plant pumpkins at night, wake up, and harvest them in the morning.

note for hardcore players: If you can log on to harvest every couple of hours, raspberries are great for quick XP. Otherwise, avoid raspberries and stick to pumpkins and rice.

3. Blueberries – Get rid of the pumpkins once you get these.

note for not-so-hardcore players: Grapes are really only worthwhile if you’re limited to checking your farm about once a day. If you’re a casual player, they’re worth a shot.

4. Tomatoes – You really can’t go wrong with tomatoes. Start planting them when you hit level 20. They have a midrange growth time and are among the most profitable crops in the game.

Crops will earn you free XP, and are really what the game is all about. If you have coins to spare, however, you can buy XP directly.

What to purchase depends largely on how much XP you have left before you reach the next level. If you are within 100 XP of the next level, purchase hay bales for only 100 coins each. At 5 XP apiece, this is a cheap way to close the gap on the next level. If you have further to go until the next level, buy something larger, like a vehicle or a barrel wagon.

These are all great guidelines to follow, but your personal leveling strategy will evolve through trial and error. Your decisions should vary according to the amount of time you can invest in the game, particularly when it comes to crop choice.

Some Easy Farmville Strategies

It takes a lot of patience to be a farmer. You need to tend to your crops and pay substantial attention to a number of minute details. Success does not happen overnight. Today, people all over are learning to love farming in a new way. It all happens today on Farmville, the new video game that is attracting millions of players across the globe courtesy of Facebook.
Things happen a lot faster in the virtual Farmville game, and crops grow very quickly. You can grow and cultivate many diffferent kinds of crops, including rice, raspberries, wheat, pumpkins and a lot more. However, as any well respected farmer, you must be pretty consistent. You need to follow-through on the care of your crops or they will die and your field will be barren. Although it doesn’t require as much attention as real farming, Farmville requires you to pay vigilant attention and work on your field. You can’t simply plant certain crops and then leave the computer for a full day. If you work full time, your best choice is choosing something that matures slowly so you will not have any unpleasant surprises.
Here are some tips for becoming a succsessful farmer on Farmville
* Sweet raspberries are a fast-grower and take under two hours for a full growth cycle with a payout of nearly fifty coins. Other berries such as blueberries require more time but bring in substantially more coins. Other good choices are strawberries which mature in four hours allowing you to gain 35 coins.
* Raising farm animals such as chickens, cows and sheep, may be fun, but ultimately, will not make you much rich. However, the advantage is that unlike crops they do not go bad and will not need much care.
* Trees are another alternative to crops that don’t require as much care but also don’t have the same return on investment. For instance, growing cherry trees takes two days for a mere gain of 18 coins, apple trees take three days for 28 coins and lime trees take 5 days for 75 coins.
* If you are looking for making some cash, you may visit a neighbor and lend a hand by cleaning up the weeds, raking up leaves or scaring crows away. You gain some extra coins and hands on experience this way.
* Bigger fields of course, will allow you to plant more, therefore will be much more profitable. However, in order to accomplish this you need to have several friends (called neighbors). For instance you need to have at least eight neighbors to expand the farm to a 14×14 lot, or better, 10 neighbors will give you a 16×16 lot. Of course, the more neighbors, the bigger land you may own, therefore the higher the profits.
* You can purchase additional building to get to the next level faster and move the game forward. But the buildings won’t earn you profits like the crops do. However, ultimately, they will just sit there and not bring any profits.
Just like in the real world, farming on Farmville can quickly become a fun hobby but you’ll need to have plenty of time and dedication to earn profits. However, just as the real farming profession, you must use time-tested strategies in order the gain the most out of your crop.
