One of the best things about FarmVille is that it doesn’t matter if you’re very involved in it and log in all the time, or if you just feel like doing some occasional hoeing and seeding. It’s still a great way to spend some time and catch up with fellow farmers. Chances are though, once you start farming, you’ll have a hard time resisting the urge to check on your farm as often as possible.

The endless possibilities for rearranging and building on your farm make FarmVille a very engaging game to play. You can check out the new structures and decorations you’ll want to build on your farm, and then work your land until you have enough money to pay for them. Just remember to plan ahead and you’ll do just fine.

Success in FarmVille is really mostly the result of common sense. You need to be sure to always weight your options and spend your money wisely. That way you’ll be able to afford the things you really want later on. And remember to always be good to your neighbors. The benefits they give you are immeasurable. You can succeed in FarmVille without neighbors, but it’s infinitely harder to accomplish the things you want to quickly.

It’s good to plan your planting around your schedule so that you’ll know when you can get back to check on your farm and harvest your crops. Ultimately, peas will be the best crop to plant, but it’ll take you a while to reach a high enough level to be able to plant them. Almost every new level you reach will unlock one more type of seed for you to try. This doesn’t mean the new seed is necessarily better than what you were already planting though, so you’ll have to reevaluate your options each time you decide to re-plant.

It is also important to notice, that many of the highest earning crops also have very generous harvesting times, take sunflowers for instance, which only need to be harvested and ploughed once per day and compare them with raspberries, which need to be harvested and replanted every 2 hours. Not only do the sunflowers give you more coins per hour, you are also doing only 1/12 of the work compared with raspberries. This is very important since it will make your schedule much more flexible, and save you huge chunks of time. This is why I advocate leveling as fast as possible till you can reach a crop that earns good exp/week but at the same time has a long harvesting time so you can relax.

If you have played Farmville for quite some time you have probably come into a situation where your farm really isn’t leveling as fast as you would like, and are slowly stockpiling thousands and thousands of coins. Whenever I check through my friends Farmville’s and see this happening I will always take the time to give them some friendly advice. Basically, if there is a huge stockpile of gold that isn’t being spent there should only be one reason. This is only done when a player is saving for something expensive such as the million dollar villa.
