FarmVille: Tips and Tricks – Easy FarmVille XP Tip – Level Up FarmVille Faster

If you’ve been playing FarmVille anywhere near as long as I have, odds are you have a surplus of coins. That is, if you have resisted the urge to buy the FarmVille Villa. Also, if you are at all like me, you have been wondering what you could spend all of those FarmVille coins on. Well.. what better to spend them on than XP. Now, I know what you might be thinking, that I’m going to tell you to go out and buy some buildings or decorations. But I’m not. To be honest, that is a horrible idea. If you’re familiar with FarmVille XP tips, then you might be thinking that I’m going to pitch you the FarmVille XP Hay bale trick. Nope. In fact, the FarmVille XP trick I’m going to explain gets you almost twice the FarmVille XP for your coins.

If you are not familiar with the FarmVille XP Hay bale trick, scroll down a bit and look for the section where I explain it.

I look at FarmVille in the same manner as I look at all other facebook games. If you want to get the most out of the game, the most bang for your buck (or coin), you need to do a little math. So, lets examine the FarmVille XP Hay bale trick more closely. Hay bale’s cost 100 coins and earn you 5 XP. Once you buy the hay bale, you can sell it and earn back 5 coins. This adjusts the cost of the hay bales to be 95 coins.

95 / 5 = 19

This means it costs you 19 coins to earn 1 point of FarmVille XP using the FarmVille XP Hay bale trick.

Now, lets look at the next method.

FarmVille XP Plow / Plant / Delete Trick

Do you like the nice long name for this trick? Thank you, I came up with it all by myself. It may be ugly, but it is 100% spot on for what this trick involves. So, here is what you do. First, you plow a plot of land. The cost to do this is 15 coins and it earns you 1 FarmVille XP. Next, you plant the cheapest and highest XP giving seeds = FarmVille Soybeans. They cost 15 coins, and give 2 FarmVille XP. So let’s break it all down.

Plow: 15 coins + 1 XP
Plant Soybeans: 15 coins + 2 XP
Total: 30 coins + 3 XP

30 / 3 = 10

This means that for every 10 coins we spend, we will earn 1 FarmVille XP. This is way better than the 19 : 1 ratio we were getting out of the FarmVille haybales trick.

Now that we have confirmed how much more beneficial the FarmVille XP Plow / Plant / Delete trick is over the FarmVille XP Hay bale trick, I’ll walk you through what you do.

Pick a section of your FarmVille farm. Instead of doing one plot at a time, try doing 9 at a time. Plow each plot of land if they haven’t been already. Now, click on the FarmVille market button and select the Soybeans. Plant the FarmVille Soybeans in each of the 9 plots. Once that is done, you will have spent 270 FarmVille coins and earned 27 FarmVille XP. Now, select the delete tool and delete each of the plots of land. Soybeans are not the best crop to plant, and waiting for them to be ready to harvest would mean that you wont be able to repeat the trick. Once they have all been deleted, re-plow the 9 plots and repeat the process. Each time you do this you will spend the 270 FarmVille coins and earn 27 FarmVille XP. It’s that simple.

For the sake of argument, if you were to spend roughly the same amount of coins on the FarmVille XP hay bales trick, you would end up spending 285 FarmVille coins and have earned on 15 FarmVille XP. It’s a no brainer. The FarmVille XP Plow / Plant / Delete trick is superior.

The FarmVille XP Hay bale Trick Explained

The FarmVille XP Hay bale trick is quite simple. All you do is buy the cheapest haybale (100 coins), and then sell it (if you can) and get 5 coins back. So, it costs you 95 coins to earn 5 FarmVille XP. This is probably the most popular FarmVille XP trick or tip around. That being said, however, it is inferior to the FarmVille Plow / Plant / Delete trick.

FarmVille: Tips and Tricks – Trap Farmer, and Farm Faster

As some readers have already commented, if you trap your farmer, you will be able to perform all tasks more quickly. If your farmer is trapped, he or she will not be able to reach the field or tree that you are trying to harvest (or whatever). Because of this, the task is carried out without traveling to the location. Although the percentage meter still has to finish prior to the task being completed, without having to walk to each individual location you will be able to complete tasks much more quickly.

Trap Farmer Tip: Technique #1 – Hay Bales

You can setup hay bales on one edge of your farm so that, when you want to trap your farmer, you can simply walk in the middle of two, then move the third in front of the opening to trap him or her. Or, you can do the same in the middle of your FarmVille farm by adding a forth hay bale to the open side.

Trap Farmer Tip: Technique #2 – Fence

Instead of buying hay bales, you may already have fences around your farm you use to keep your animals from wandering about. If so, have your farmer walk into the fenced area, and then block the entrance. Otherwise, you can simply use fencing instead of hay bales for a better looking trap.

Trap Farmer Tip: Technique #3 – Load Trapped

In my opinion, the best way to trap your farmer is when the farm is first loaded. To do this, simply load your farm and look at where your FarmVille farmer is. Before moving him, trap him by placing hay bales or anything else on all 4 sides of him or her.

Your farmer will not move diagonally, so you don’t have to worry about those spot. Now, he is trapped, and will be trapped whenever you load your farm.

Trap Farmer Tip: Cheap Blocking

Although some people will tell you that the hay bales are the cheapest to use to trap your FarmVille farmer, they have likely forgotten about signs. Just to the left of your FarmVille farm name you will see a button that looks like a chat bubble from a comic or cartoon. Click that button and place a sign post on your farm, type out a message and click ok. Now you will have a free, non-passable object that can be used to block your farmer.

FarmVille XP Trick

I will be posting soon about a trick in FarmVille that will allow you to turn your cash into XP, without having to wait for crops.

FarmVille Harveter Harvesting

How do you refuel the FarmVille Harvester?

The FarmVille Harvester uses the same fuel as the FarmVille Tractor. The fuel refills gradually over time. Also, buying two tractors / harvesters, or having a Tractor and a Harvester currently has no benefit. This may change in the future, but two individuals have reported no increase in total fuel or fuel regeneration speed. If anyone notices something different, or otherwise has more information, make a comment and let me know.
