FarmVille Basics

How to get started in Farmville!

Starting an Online FarmVille Game Farm

When the game begins, each farmer is issued a that is 12 by 12 squares large. Within this plot are six squares of plowed and seeded land, at varying stages of readiness-some ready to harvest, some still growing and some ready to plant.

The best strategy that a profit-minded game farmer can have is to grow, harvest, plow and expand, grow, harvest, plow and expand. This strategy will produce the most profit and faster level-ups in the early stages of the game. The amount of game coins that each farmer is given is not enough to plow the entire field and plant it with seeds, but it will get him started.

If the player harvests what is ready, plows the land and then plants new seeds, he will be ready to expand a few squares at a time until every square on his land is occupied. A fully plowed field will still yield enough space around the edges to plant any trees that are received as gifts from friends in the game and to put animals on..

In this game it is easy for the new farmer to get carried away with purchasing objects for decorative purposes, but the savvy player farmer will wait to buy these things until she has acquired enough fame coins to plow and seed an entire field.

Once the all of the game fields have been planted, any game money left over can be used for a few decorative items, keeping in mind that as the player's level increases, new seed varieties are opened up for use and become more expensive, so it is wise to leave the majority of the farm's profits in the bank for a while.

Choosing the Seeds to Buy for Raising Game Levels and for Best Profit

When the player begins , her choices in seeds are limited, but as her level of experience grows she will be awarded with coins, gifts and the ability to purchase new varieties of seeds. With each new variety comes more and more challenge to decide which ones to use.

Some seem to make more profit, but take longer to grow. Some give little or no experience, but seem to be the quickest to grow. When determining what seeds to purchase the player should remember that experience points are also obtained by plowing and planting so seeds that award less experience points, but harvest more quickly are not necessarily bad.

Farmers in this game also need to check the growth time of their crops. Each crop will take a certain amount of time to grow and will wither if not harvested. This is real time, not game-play time. If a crop is a two hour crop, it will take two hours to grow and it will wither within two hours of blooming, so crops should be planted according to the real-life schedule of the player, making sure that he is able to get back to the game before a crop dies.
