How to Get Pretty Garden Ribbon Fast!

2009-12-18T04:19:00.000-08:00

After the introduction of garden sheds and perfect bunches, it didn’t take Zynga a long time to introduce a new ribbon to FarmVille.

The Pretty Garden ribbon.
You earn the first yellow ribbon if you place five perfect bunches on your farm and the last one – the red ribbon is won after placing 50 perfect bunches on your farm.

However, right now there’s a little trick that could make you earn the Perfect Garden blue ribbon in just a few minutes! So, if you’re wondering how to get the last level ribbon fast, here’s what you will have to do

First, purchase a Garden Shed from the marketplace and place it on your farm. The shed comes with 10 flowers (perfect bunches) in it, so take them all out and place them on your farm. After doing this, you will already get the white Pretty Garden ribbon! Now you can sell the Garden Shed and purchase a new one from the marketplace (one costs 30,000 gold coins). Place the flowers again on your farm and repeat these steps until you have 50 perfect bunches on your farm. It’s the easiest and fastest way to earn a Pretty Garden Ribbon in FarmVille! Not to mention the fact that you’ll earn some experience and rewards along the way. Pretty cool, huh? But you should do it as soon as you have the money because Zynga might fix this!

OR

You can buy just 1 garden shed, plant the given bunches on ur farm and then plant some flowers on ur farm so that when u harvest them, perfect bunches will get automatically stored in the shed and thus u can use them to earn the ribbon!

How to Earn Money on Facebook’s FarmVille Game

2009-12-12T23:07:00.002-08:00

Do you want to earn money on FarmVille so you can buy more buildings and decorations? Learn how to maximize your earnings by knowing what to plant and what to ask for from your friends!

3 Simple Step

Step 1

The more space you have for planting crops, the more crops you can plant! Therefore, crowd your animals in as small a space as possible and start plowing!

Step 2

To earn money, rather than experience points (XP), you’ll want to invest in seeds that will earn you as many coins as possible. With the new crops that are available, tomatoes have taken over the spot for most profitable! Sunflowers are in second place, followed by coffee and blueberries.

Step 3

Recruit as many friends as possible to be your neighbors on FarmVille. The more neighbors you have, the more opportunities to help them each day ($20 each time!) and the more free gifts you will receive! The most profitable tree to receive is the pomegranate, earning you $108 with each harvest and the most profitable animal to receive is the horse, earning $50 per horsehair collection. Those figures are very high compared to other possible gifts. So, if your friends don’t mind requests, that’s what you should ask for! And, if you want to help your own neighbors, you should give more of these as well!

How to see a Farm if an user is not your Neighbor in Farmville ?

2009-12-12T23:04:00.001-08:00

If you added Facebook user with Farmville app to your Facebook friends, but you don’t have them as a Farmville neighbor, you can still visit his/her farm, get points for helping etc.

How do to that?
If user has Facebook ID 123456789
Link for his/her farm is
http://apps.facebook.com/onthefarm/index.php?visitId=123456789

You can get user’s Facebook ID by going to his profile page and clicking profile pic.
That will lead you to their album.
Check the URL in your browser. It should be something like
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?profile=1&id=123456789
That number after id= is Facebook ID

Replace whatever Facebook ID number you get with 123456789 and you are on the users farm.

You MUST be his/her Facebook friend to do that, you just don’t need to be Farmville neighbor

How to get some Ribbons fast in Farmville ?

2009-12-12T23:03:00.006-08:00

There are some ribbons that are really easy to get and also give you grat number of XP or coins

Pack Rat Ribbon: Buy hay bales until you get the blue ribbon. The money you get as rewards adds up to more than the cost of the hay bales. Then sell them all to get more coins.

Architect Ribbon : Buy rest tents until you get the blue ribbon. Same reward as for Pack Rat. Also sell them to get more coins.

Not gifted, spoiled Ribbon: You need 21 unique gifts to get blue ribbon. Just never use your unique gifts until you get the blue ribbon. Keep one of each gift only, because you can’t have more than 30 gifts total in your gift box. So if you get 2 horses, keep just one in gift box and put other on your farm.

Local Celebrity Ribbon and Shutterbug Ribbon: Mass add neighbors (that will eventually get you Local Celebrity Ribbon). Go to every farm you add and take a pic of it (for Shutterbug ribbon). Mass numbers of neighbors also get you many ribbon bonuses in your news/farmville feed

1. A FarmVille day is 23 hrs short growth crops are in real hours.
2. Super Berries are a promotional crop released on special occasions.

And of course that is brilliant because now… All players need to refocus on all crops again instead of focussing on the crops that produces the most value.

How to Level Up Quickly in FarmVille ?

2009-12-12T22:59:00.001-08:00

The quickest way to level up is easily by planting berries. By continually planting strawberries you get (If you have a 12*12 farm) 288 Exp Every 4 hours. This is the very fast way. But obviously this is mainly used at the weekend unless you can check your farm and spend 20 minutes harvesting, ploughing and planting. Naturally – if you’re in it for the levels and not the money – you can plough as much land as possible and continually grow them. Alternatively, pumpkins are the next alternative Or Rice if you spend a full 11 hours at work.

Naturally, wanting fast levels means you wish to spend money on it. Buildings yield a lot of experience – however will cost you a large amount of your money. (Eg. A windmill is bought for 100,000 Coins and Given 1,000Exp)

Another method is to leave a section of your farm empty, and plow the area. Delete the Patches. And plow again, as many times as desired.

Or step-by-step method of easy level up on FarmVille :

Step 1

Save as much land on your farm as possible to plant new crops. Avoid buying any buildings or objects that will get in the way of plowing new fields.
Step 2

Plow as many fields as you can. You will earn 1 XP (or experience points) for every field you plow. You need these XPs to advance and level up in the game.
Step 3

Plant raspberries. You can harvest them in Farmville every 2 hours allowing you to plow and harvest several times in one day if you can. Each time you plant seeds in 1 field, you will gain 1 XP (or experience) point for raspberries and other crops that take less than 1 day to harvest. Remember though, you can harvest them several times per day which will earn you more XPs than if you were to plant crops that harvest in 1 day.
Step 4

Add Farmville neighbors. The more Farmville neighbors you have, the more opportunities you will have to earn XPs. Each time you work at a neighbor’s farm, you will earn 5 XPs and 20 coins. You can work at each person’s farm once per day.
Step 5

Expand your farm. When you have enough coins to do so, expand your farm so that you are able to plant even more crops at a time, earning you more XPs to advance in the game.

Fishville Strategy: Getting FishVille Dollars with Mystery Boxes

2009-12-12T11:43:00.001-08:00

Only took me about 20 boxes, but I finally got one:

So in case you were wondering, yes, you can indeed get FishVille dollars with the free mystery boxes, it just is not all that common!

FishVille Strategy: Mystery Gifts and Boxes

2009-12-12T11:42:00.003-08:00

With the introduction of the new daily gift, a new type of gift has been added - the mystery box.

Each day when you log in to FishVille, your two daily gift options change. You have a chance for your daily gift to be a "mystery box". You can send these to friends who can then open these for experience points, coins, or potentially even FishVille dollars.

The xp and coin rewards are pretty modest - I opened 5 boxes and the highest XP bonus I saw was in the low twenties and the highest coin bonus I saw was in the high 100s.

It would appear (and rightfully so) that FishVille dollars are a pretty rare reward from the mystery box. Even so, with the option to get some for free, I will definitely be accepting every mystery box that I get.

Many of you at this point may have difficulties connecting to FishVille on Facebook. A lot of people have been getting stuck at the loading screen when trying to play FishVille.

The truth is, FishVille is not down and you can easily connect with one of two changes to your internet browser:

First off, try clearing your browser's cache AND cookies. While the developers have been recommending clearing your cache, I was not able to get FishVille to load until I cleared both my browser's cache and cookies.

To clear your cache and cookies in Firefox:

Click Tools >> Clear Private Data >> Make sure "Cache" and "Cookies" are checked off >> Click OK.

To clear your cache and cookies in Internet Explorer:

Click Tools >> Internet Options >> "Delete Cookies" (if that does not work, click "Delete Files" then click "Delete all Offline Content"

After doing this, open up FishVille and you should be able to connect just fine. If this does not work, try connecting with another browser. When Firefox did not work for me, I was able to play FishVille just fine via Internet Explorer.

If you are having difficulties connecting to FishVille, make sure you clear your browser's cache and delete your cookies. If this does not work, connect with a different browser.

FishVille Leveling Guide

2009-12-12T11:41:00.003-08:00

So far, FishVille is a very simple Facebook game. Here are the basics:

1. Level up by acquiring experience points. You can earn experience points by selling fish, buying eggs, and buying plants / decor for your tank.

2. When you first place a fish egg, it will hatch into a baby. You can not sell baby fish. After a certain amount of time (listed as "grows in" in the store interface), it will grow into a junior fish.

3. Junior fish level up one level at a time, from 1 to 4, every time the "grows in" timer is reached. As a junior fish, each level increase results in the fish becoming more valuable in terms of experience points and coins.

4. Once a fish hits level 4, it becomes an adult. At this point, its grow time increases significantly and no longer increases in value (both experience points and coins).

5. You can own multiple tanks in FishVille. You can buy a new tank every 10 levels. You can buy tanks early if you purchase some FishVille dollars, which you can alternately buy at any level for 20 FishVille dollars.

6. As you level up with your tank, it will increase in size. Your tank will grow in capacity from 15 to 30 fish, then 30 to 50 fish. Fifty fish per tank is the maximum.

7. For fish marked "fast", let them grow to level 4 before you sell them. For fish that are not marked fast, you can sell them right after they level up, as you will get a nice bit of experience points for buying the new eggs. Just make sure they are not more than 20% into the next level, as at that point it would be more beneficial to let them level up again before selling them.

Power Leveling Guide

Levels 1-10:

First off, even though it's not very exciting to have nothing to look forward to, know that the Mini-Dart Gobi (the first fish you get access to) provides by far the most amount of experience points per time spent in your tank(s), and it also provides a very high level of coins (shares with the sardine the top spots for most profitable fish).

If you are interested in attaining a high level relatively quickly, I would recommend racing to level 10 with Mini-Dart Gobis. This will give you a 65 fish capacity (50 from your first tank, 15 from your new expansion) and can be done in a just a few hours.

Once you hit 10, make sure you buy a new tank.

Levels 11-end:

If you want to be very active in your tank (like if you work on the computer), make the switch to Red Spot Cardinal. These only provide about 2/3 of the experience points of the Mini Dart Gobi, but they only need to be fed once every 30 minutes, so you can at least do other things on the computer at the same time.

If, like me, you can not be at the computer 24/7, here are some options:

The Blue Green Chromis needs to be fed every 6 hours and still pays out a lot of XP/time spent growing (16 xp per hour). This is the same as the Swissguard Basslet (needs to be fed every 2 hours) and more than the Pajama Cardinal (needs to be fed every 4 hours). The Blue Green Chromis also pays out more than any fish that needs to be fed less frequently.

The Percula Clownfish only need to be fed every 16 hours and pays out 13.5 xp per hour, which is not much less than the Blue Green Chromis.

The Hawaiian Hogfish pays out 12 XP per hour and only needs to be fed once every 2 days.

The options are up to you. If you can check your tank a few times per day, use the blue Green Chromis during the day and the Percula Clownfish by night.

If you can only check your tank twice a day, use the Percula Clownfish.

If you can only check your tank once every day or so, use the Hawaiian Hogfish.

The guide is pretty short at this point because there is not much to the game past this point. If you want to level up quickly, expand your tanks as soon as possible, and make sure your fish never spend any time at the adult stage (or die from not being fed).

FishVille Strategy - Creatures

2009-12-12T11:40:00.000-08:00

Creatures are animals (non fish) that you can keep in your tank as decorations or sell them for coins. Right now, you can only get creatures from friends. Recently, they bumped up the required level necessary to gift these items by quite a bit. However, to compensate, the value of selling each one of these creatures has increased by quite a bit as well

Creature List

Right now there are only a few creatures available -

Maxima Clam (Level 8) - sells for 150 coins
Sea Snail (Level 11) - sells for 196 coins
Starfish (Level 14) - sells for 256 coins
Shrimp (Level 17) - sells for 279 coins
Hermit Crab (Level 20) - sells for 328 coins

Now that they have increased the value of these creatures, getting some free gifts can be an easy way for a new player to get some extra coins.

FishVille Strategy Guide

2009-12-12T11:39:00.000-08:00

FishVille Basics

In FishVille, you basically "run" an aquarium as if it was a business (I suppose it is for some people now that I think about it). You raise fish, feed them, keep the tank clean, and then sell them for coins and experience points. With your coins, you can buy new fish, decorations, plants, or even a second tank. As you get experience points from selling fish, you level up, giving you access to new fish, decorations, plants, and new tanks (expansions).

Currency

You will notice that in FishVille, this game is monetized from release (unlike Cafe World). Coins can be earned by selling fish that you have raised. Coins can be used to purchase most goods in game. Dollars can be bought for real life cash or earned by completing offers. Right away you can spend 20 fishville dollars to buy a tank expansion (up to all 8). There is no level cap on tanks bought with dollars (unlike their coin-costing counterparts), so a new player could easily get ahead by spending real life money (8x the experience points / coin earning rate).

Fish Basics

In FishVille, when you start out, each fish tank can hold a total of fifteen fish (of any size). To raise fish, you simply buy fish eggs (by clicking the store button) and lay them down in the tank. These eggs hatch within a couple seconds into baby fish.

After a certain amount of time (anywhere from 5 minutes to a day or more, this value is listed under each fish's description in the store panel), these fish will mature into "Junior Fish". Baby fish can not be sold, and as far as I know you can not even get rid of them even if you do not them anymore.

Baby fish (and all fish) need to be fed. The timer on each fish is two times its "grow" time. So, the Shy Hamlet grows every 4 hours, which means it needs to be fed every 8 hours.

Junior Fish can be sold for experience points and coins simply by clicking them with the net tool activated (bottom right toolbar). However, as Junior Fish mature, they increase in value. Past the baby level, each fish has an age. Think of this like a fish leveling system; as your fish sit in the tank they level up. A junior fish levels up in the same amount of time it takes to grow from a baby fish to a junior fish age 1. In other words:

- The Mini Dart Goby grows from a baby fish into a junior fish in 5 minutes.
- This junior Mini Dart Goby is now age 1.
- Five minutes later, it will be age 2.
- Five minutes later, it will be age 3.

However, once a junior fish reaches level 4, it will be come an adult fish. Adult fish do not need to be fed nearly as often and age very slowly. For example, the Mini Dart Goby grows every 5 minutes, but once it hits level 4, its grow time slows down to 1 full day. It only needs to be fed once every 2 days at this point as well.

Fish Strategy

As far as the "best fish" to raise, it seems the fastest growing ones provide the best coins and experience points for their time in the tank. So, the person who sits there and raises fish marked "fast" (specifically says "fast" in the market), will earn more coins and experience then someone who raises fish that take a full day to grow. This is similar to both Cafe World and FarmVille.

The more important question is when to sell your fish. My early tests suggest that it is most effective to wait until your fish reach Age 4 to sell them.

Example:

Mini Dart Gobi:

Grows In: 5 minutes
Cost: 7 Coins

Age 1 (5 mins after buying eggs):
Sells for: 18 coins (minus the 7 coins for buying an egg, this is 132 coins/hour)
XP: 6

Age 2 (10 mins after buying eggs):
Sells for: 36 coins (minus the 7 coins for buying an egg, this is 174 coins/hour)
XP: 12

Age 3 (15 mins after buying eggs):
Sells for: 54 coins (minus the 7 coins for buying an egg, this is 188 coins/hour)
XP: 18

Age 4 (20 mins after buying eggs):
Sells for 72 coins (minus the 7 coins for buying an egg, this is 195 coins/hour)
XP: 24

While the experience points per hour is the same per fish level, the coins per hour increases. Since up until age 4, fish increase in value at a steady rate equal to their grow time, letting them grow longer keeps your egg expenses low.

Other FishVille Features:

Feeding Your Fish:

Your fish will ask for food (food icon appearing by their heads) long before you need to feed them. If you have ever had a fish tank, you know that fish will eat when they are not hungry, so this is no surprise. Do not be alarmed or feel compelled to cater to the every want of your virtual fish farm. Fish food is free.

Decorations and Plants

Plants are basically decorations, as far as I can tell they do nothing. Your fish like to swim behind them though. You do not need me to post these here - simply look them up in the store manual!

Tapping on the Glass

If you click on your tank, it scares your fish. For some reason I enjoy this feature very much.

Showing Your Fish "Some Love"

This feature pops up every now and then in the bottom left corner of the tank. Clicking it with a full fish tank will give you coins. It also plays a cheering crowd sound bit that mysteriously sounds like the cheering in the original Sim City when you did something that your denizens liked.

Tank Upgrade

As you play FishVille, your tank will be upgraded, allowing you to hold more fish. At level 4, I was upgraded to a 30 fish limit for my tank (started at 15 fish).

My Impressions

Overall, I think this game will be a home run for Zynga. FishVille is definitely another play at the FarmVille and Cafe World crowd, as it is very similar in style graphically and mechanically. However, this game is much more polished at launch and feels like a good bit of effort has actually gone into the game design.

For starters, the game is actually monetized, which is good for Zynga, and the advantage in shelling out a few real life dollars is significant.

When it comes to feeding fish, FishVille satisfies my need for instant gratification. I can click on the fish food button and click 20 times really fast on the screen and be done feeding my fish in 3 seconds. I also appreciate the fact that the game is way less "clickier" than FarmVille. You do not have to click 1200 times to feed your fish (like planting a 20x20 farm in FarmVille!).

Secondly, the option to have up to 8 tanks will satisfy a lot of users as well. That way, players can have a few "money tanks" where they focus on fish that provide good coins and experience points while they work on building up a decorative tank on the side.

On top of that, it is nice that decorations do not effect the performance of your tank. In FarmVille for example, if you have decorations, you have less space for crops. If you want your farm to look like more than a big field, you are automatically leveling up a lot slower than a "mass field" friend. However, FishVille nips that in the bud because each tank is capped not by overall space but simply a 15 fish limit (upgrades over time) - users can decorate to their hearts content without effecting their productivity.

Conclusion

When all is said and done, I think I prefer FishVille to Cafe World and possibly even FarmVille. I think this will be another home run for Zynga.
