Facebook Farmville Five Best Building Tips and Tricks

Everyone seems to love Farmville. It is an addictive Facebook Flash game, by Zynga, that has participants planting, raising animals, and orchards. The game is fun to play and allows you to interact with friends who also play the game. As your farm grows you can start adding land, more crops, animals, trees, buildings and fences. I was able to build my farm from first level through twenty-five in about two weeks. Here are the tips I used to help build my farm quickly.

Sow Seeds, not Trees or Animals
Start building your farm. Plant areas of crops. The animals and trees are cute, but they don’t help you gain levels. They are slow to cultivate and they give very few coins for their expense. People are going to give you gifts of these items, anyway. Why pay for what you are going to get free? Put the trees and animals along the edge while you build up your farm.

Look for your current friends who already play Farmville.
Invite your friends to play Farmville. You will most likely find that many of them are already playing the game. If you don’t know who is playing Farmville, go to the upper left hand corner of the game screen and click on the button marked, “MY NEIGHBORS”. When you click the button, it will pop up a screen of your neighbors. Sometimes, it will ask you to help someone else. Help them and then invite them into your neighborhood. You can only unlock certain items if you have a minimum amount of neighbors. Every day, click on your neighbors and help them out. You will gain extra money and experience by doing so.

Grow the right crops.
When you look at your list of crops, you will notice that there are different times and pay outs for the different types of fruits and vegetables. You’ll find that growing the right crops will help you to advance in the most speed fashion. Note, you’ll find that each one has different benefits and disadvantages. Here is a list of the crops in order of payout per hour.

Start Leveling Quickly
For the first few levels, JUST plant strawberries. Over and over, plant them on as much space as you possibly can. You will notice that raspberries offer you almost double the money as the strawberry, but they don’t give you any experience. Once you’ve gained some levels, then move onto the better producing crops. I planted raspberries quite a bit after a few levels to build up my cash flow. You will find, though, that it pays to stay slow and steady and keep advancing.

Look for Achievements
Achievements give you a cash and experience bonus. Some are just as simple as playing and harvesting. Some others are going around to other people’s farms and taking a photograph of what the have accomplished. Keep track of where you are and help your farm grow.
