Farmville Cheats and More at Cheats Pulse

While your reasoning is sound, your math is wrong. First of all, you do not tell people that you are subtracting the cost of plowing (15 coins) from the profit per plot. Since that is a cost that is equal no matter which crop is planted, and can be considered a sunk cost anyways, it actually is not essential to your yield output. All the plowing cost does is equally reduce your profit, which skews your yield results. You have to pay to re-plow your field anyways.

Second, using your own calculations for profit, the yield for grapes, asparagus and peas is incorrect. (I’m ignoring the rounding error on sugar cane and asparagus.) The yield for grapes (170/24) is 7.0833 and for peas (176/24) is 7.3333.

Finally, it would seem the most logical to include XP as a multiplier, factoring it into yield to create an output that is relevant to XP gained. After all, gaining XP is part of the game–especially if you want to level-up. Just a thought.

One other thing to consider… each cost actually has an extra 15 coins per planting cycle – plowing costs. I don’t think that that Christie’s comment is quite accurate, as planting Raspberries cycles every 2 hours and Rice cycles every 8… IF (yes, only true addicts would do this) you played consistently and with no missed time, you would spend 45 coins on Rice in one 24 hour period, and 180 coins on raspberries – not an equal reduction in profit… I am not feeling well enough to follow through on all the other math…

my other point would be that coins and experience need their own figuring, as there are times that one matters more than the other… I am level 8 right now, so my Excel database, which accounts for plow costs and has separate info for experience and coins, is not quite advanced enough to release

gross margin dollars is the answer. if you have time to fiddle w it every 16 hours then Asparagus is where it’s at. Once a day however, the answer is peas.

i dunno if its still available but the sweet corn donation is by far the best option. costs 10 coins to plant it, yields 125 coins after only 6 hrs. i moved everything on my farm and locked my chick in a box. lets put it this way i just did the math.
464 plots
Plowing= -15 coins +1 exp
Planting= -10 coins +3 exp
Harvesting= 125 coins (give or take some experience gained if fertilized by friends)

after adding all of it up I Profit 46,400 coins and 1,856 exp every 6 hrs. The down side is you only can plant it for a week, but the upside is it doesnt die if you dont harvest it in time. i mean in the last few days i went from having no coins and fighting to keep up with my friends levels to having over 500,000 coins and jumping 4 levels

The math is basically correct, but as Christie pointed out, you have some crops with random values. Like grapes for example, you say they yield 7.39/hour while your math suggests it should be 7.08333.

XP is probably not accounted for because most people looking for a guide will be wondering how to get the maximum amount of money.

But if you want, the most xp crop is Raspberries.
Math behind that: 1xp every time you plow, multiplied by the size of your field (assuming 12×12 standard) and you have 144xp every 2 hours and 1728xp every day (assuming of course you don’t miss a plant time, and you plant instantaneously ).

thnx a lot to your glitch here in farmville. . . .
i’ve learned a lot from your glitches. . .
it helps me in my farm. . .
so i’m glad to thank you for all the things you’ve been posted here. . .
god bless and keep up the good health always ^_^

How do you earn FV cash without paying for it and leveling up????

Thanks! Helped me alot!

@Christie

While your theory makes sense, Christie, you forget, or didn’t realize, that FarmVille uses 23-hour days. So instead of (170/24) for grapes, the equation would be (170/23), resulting in 7.39130435, or 7.39, being correct. And instead of (176/24), it should be (176/23), being 7.65217391, or 7.65, also being correct.

While you all are stupid, why waste time trying to figure this out? just play the DAMN GAME. Quit whining. thank you that is all

I completely agree with Jack on this one. why are you wasting your time figuring out all the math on what the best plant is, the point of the game is to was a little time while having fun and relaxing. just play the game and don’t worry about the coins or levels. its not like this is an extremely complicated strategy game.

It was said that the “eggs” would hatch on Dec 7th! I see them in the chicken coup, but cannot get at them! What gives?

I have not been able to get into farmville lately for some reason now for 3 days. I had poinsettias planted that I am sure are wilted. But I can’t get in………… Have you had any trouble with this?

This is a nice try but I think someone should make a better one if it counts the XP and that in a day you can plan 3 times the tomatoes for example…

Jack, thats just a little harsh, and a tad thoughtless.
Consider that for some of us, the mathematics behind the game is equally as enjoyable as moving bitmapped representations of tractors from one place to another on your virtual farm ad infinitum. I think “Different strokes for different folks” sums it up. You can enjoy the game “your way” and we will enjoy it, ours

So to summarize the important facts from above

Calculate based on 23 hour days

The cost of plowing does need to be accounted for when defining net profit per hour for the daily yield, as it varies according to harvest cycle period

If your goal is to level faster while making a profit, look for crops that provide more XP than others might, over comparable durations. Typical players have time to harvest once per day, so 1 day 2XP crops are better. Also consider crops with better profit return, but lower XP which may provide a better return, allowing you to purchase items that give instant XP.

How do you get FV cash?

Hey folks some of you have asked about FV cash and how to get it.

The only way is to buy it, level up, and/or it has been said you could find some FV cash in mystery boxes but I wouldn’t put to much faith in that.

Yes the good folks who run this game have to get paid too.

Second and more importantly back on the topic I think the best cash crops really depends on what level you are. I mean some seeds are locked for players under level 37. So to effectively make a top 5 list of cash crops we would have to assume what most players levels on farmville are at. And by the way XP does matter, however This list is about the top 5 CASH CROPS not the top 5 XP CROPS. So no you would not care to much about XP when your trying to boost your net worth on farmville.

I’ve locked up my person but she keeps getting out is there a secret to this?
