FarmVille is an awesome time management game brought to us by Zynga. It involves raising crops, trees, and animals. You are able to harvest in some form or fashion each of these three to earn coins. These coins are then used to purchase more seeds, to plow, or even to decorate your farm. For those of us just starting out there are a few things left to learn about leveling up and other such tasks.
Those of you who have made it to level 20 and beyond know that there can be even more fun to be had. FarmVille is available on both the Facebook interface and through its own website at FarmVille.com. Either way you play can be just as fun. The bonus to using the dedicated website, however, is that there are certain gifts that cannot be accessed through Facebook.
There are special gifts that you will be offered during holidays or events, and some are only available if you play it on Farmville.com. Another benefit is the Farmville toolbar that can be downloaded and installed in your browser. The main benefit of the toolbar is that it displays a clock to indicate when your next crop is ready to be harvested.
This timer is queued off of the crop that will be ready the soonest. You can cruise the net while waiting on those potatoes to finish growing. The timer is below the address bar so it is easy to see. One last benefit to playing on this site rather than through the Facebook interface is the fact that you won’t have Facebook chat slowing your game down.
Once you are at a higher level, it may tend to get boring, but what you are able to now do with all the coins you are earning is to decorate your farm. In fact there are many decorating contest that you can enter. Decorating contests typically have a large prize of cash and coins. For example the valentines theme paid 500,000 coins and 500 Farmville cash.
Needless to say this sort of cash and coins would be expensive if you actually paid for them (over $250 in coins and $80 for the cash!). Not too bad when you figure that decorating can be relatively cheap if you budget it right. Competition can get pretty stiff, but with the right planning you will find a killer design is not hard to layout.
For Valentine’s Day you would want to choose red, white, and pink colors. Also, matching male and female animals (and possibly babies) can make great theme ideas. The possibilities are boundless. All you have to do is to check out the FarmVille website for more information about what sort of contests may be ongoing.
The key to doing all of this though is having enough coinage on hand. Some people go all out in trying to win the prize(s) for these competitions. If you need to build up cash rather quickly the best way is to ditch all the animals and trees. Yeah, they look cool and net you a few coins. For the most part however they are wasted space. If you are going for achievements then just let them be harvested once.
Once you have made room for you crops, you should pack in as many crops squares as possible on your farm. And the key is to not ever let the crops wither. If you do that, it can set you back a couple of days.
Once these come in roll the coins over doing the same. The more you earn the more you can plant. Eventually you will be planting the entire farm and reaping in a ton of coins. Build up your coins and you will be all set to do whatever decorating you want!
