FV2 Country Escape: “2nd Annual Green Thumb Games” Official Guide!

14 August 2015 FarmMaster 0

Howdy Farmers,

If you are at least level 12, you will see a pop-up inviting you to the Green Thumb Games Event! You will need to force close the game to see the update, which means to clear it from your mobile device’s memory. You may even need to reboot your device.

You will have 5 days to complete stage 1 of the Green Thumb quests, and compete with friends for the top leaderboard position! The lucky ones at the top will earn an exclusive Bengal Cat (Gold Cup level), if you are in the middle position (Silver Cup level) you will earn Silver Stamps & Quartz, and Bronze can earn Bronze Stamps & Golden Gloves! The 2^ndStage will start on 8/19. If you won the Bengal Cat the first time, you have a chance to upgrade that cat to the Gardening Bengal Cat.

**You will only be able to earn one of the rewards, not all three! The higher you get on the leaderboard will determine what reward you will receive on the last day of the event!**

The Green Thumb Games Trophy Stand will be located behind Eagle Eye Eddie. You will see 3 orders at a time that either can be harvested (crops), or crafted. Each item requested will have a different timer to allow you time to get the items needed.

Tip: Check the Farm Stand often to see if your friends are selling what you need.

Boosts:

On the lower right of the first tab of the Green Thumb Games (image above) is where you can easily access the Boosts available. You can boost the amount of Green Thumb points by 50% for coins, or by 100% with keys. There will be a timer once a boost is activated and a short cool-down period when you can buy another boost. Boosts will last 1 hour, and you can only select one boost at a time. (prices subject to change based on level)

Leaderboard:

The second tab will show you the leaderboard that you are in. Not everyone you know will be in the same leaderboard. The leaderboard tab will tell you which prize category you are currently in (Gold, Silver, or Bronze). You can also see how you rank among your friends. To be fair to all, you will be in a leaderboard with others that are similar level.

Rewards:

You will see 3 different rewards that are broken into tiers. If you are in the top (gold) portion of your leaderboard on the final day of the event, you will be rewarded with the Bengal Cat. If you are in the middle tier (silver) at the end of the event, you will receive Silver Stamps & Quartz. If you are in the lower tier (bronze), your reward will be Bronze Stamps & Golden Gloves. You will only receive one of the rewards at the end, not all three.

Start off the quests by visiting the Green Thumb Games Trophy Stand located behind Eagle Eye Eddie’s airplane. The Event HQ is where you earn Green Thumb points, and display the leaderboard. (Shown above)

Merryweather Square Garden:

Across the road from the Event HQ is the Merryweather Square Garden. You can send Farm Hands here to get Event items such as Eggplant, Watermelon & Olive Oil.

There are several quests in this event. Tap on the Quest Manager on the lower left of your game to find quests.

FV2 CE: “Harvest Swap – How To: Coins and Diamonds”

13 May 2015 FarmMaster 0

Hey Farmer!

There are two types of currency in the game: Coins and Diamonds.

Coins – You can use Coins to buy items, which will help you progress through the game.

How will you earn Coins?

You
earn Coins by completing levels. The higher your star rating, the more
coins you earn. More Coins can also be purchased by tapping the [+]
symbol next to your Coins at the top of the level select screen.

Diamonds – Diamonds can be used to buy even more power-ups, including extra moves when you run out!

What are Diamonds?

Diamonds
are more rare than Coins. They are not awarded for completing levels,
but if you’re lucky you may earn a few for performing various actions
throughout the game. They can also be purchased by tapping the [+]
symbol next to your Diamonds on the level select screen.

Thanks!

FV2 CE: “Harvest Swap – How To: Lives”

13 May 2015 FarmMaster 0

Hey Farmer!

Lives
appear as hearts on the level select screen and you need these to
continue playing levels. Whenever you lose, restart, or quit a level, it
costs you a Life.

There are several ways to earn more Lives:

Lives recharge over time so you can just wait for it.But that’s no fun, so how about another way?

Ask your for more Lives. Click
“Ask Friends” on the Out of Lives screen, and pick which friends to send
to. Each friend can send you 1 Life.

Buy Lives with Diamonds. Buying Lives will restore all your Lives immediately!

My friends sent me an extra life, but the game says I have a full set of lives. Why can’t I have more?

If you have a full set of lives and a friend sends you an additional one, it will not be added..

Thanks!

FV2 CE: “Harvest Swap – How To: Hazards”

13 May 2015 FarmMaster 0

Hey Farmer!

In
Harvest Swap, there are Hazards in some levels that can really hinder
your progress. Know more about them to plan out your next moves!

Bunnies (Carrots)

While
these cute little Bunnies aren’t really a hazard by themselves, they
ARE taking up valuable space on your farm! Clear out the bunnies and
send them on their way by harvesting Carrots. This will lure the bunnies
out of their holes, where they’ll munch a bunch of grass, get full, and
go take a nap under a tree somewhere while you finish your farming!

Frost

Brrrr!
Frost is a tricky hazard to work around, but with some practice, you
can overcome it! The way to get rid of a Crop that’s got Frost on top is
to make a match that includes the Crop under the Frost. This will break
the Frost apart and let you match the Crop underneath as normal!

Rocks

Rocks
can be cleared by making matches next to them. But be careful,
sometimes you may encounter multiple layers of Rocks. These need
multiple adjacent matches to clear out completely. Be sure to make those
combos when you can; they will really help while clearing out Rocks!

Mud

Mud
is one of the easier hazards to clear, but dagnabbit, there’s usually a
lot of it. Mud can come in one layer or two. Double layers of Mud
become single layers once you match the Crop on top of the Mud. Single
layers are cleared from the board when you match the Crop on top.

Hay Bales

What
farm would be complete without a bunch of Hay Bales? The only problem
is, clearing them out can take some time. To clear Hay Bales, simply
make a match next to one. You’ll harvest the Crop and clear the Hay
Bale. Now that wasn’t so hard, was it?

Thanks!

FV2 CE: “Harvest Swap – How To: Power-Ups”

13 May 2015 FarmMaster 0

Hey Farmer!

Here are the Power-Ups that are available in the game. Use them well in order to get a high score!

Shovel

Ahh, the Shovel. A farmer’s most trusty tool. Shovels can be purchased on most levels, before starting the level (and used whenever needed), or during the level. After you purchase a Shovel, it will appear on your Power-Ups bar. Tapping the Shovel will bring up an arrow that points to a specific spot on the game board. Move this arrow to the desired spot on the board you wish to dig up with the Shovel, and then click Yes to use the Shovel. The Shovel will dig up the item on that spot and remove it from the board. If it’s a Crop, it will harvest it!

Crate

The Crate is another useful tool on the farm. You can purchase a Crate during a level, and swap out any board item for the Crate. Once you’ve got your Crate on the board, you can use it to start a chain by dragging from the Crate, through as many crops of the same type as you can get to. The chain can go horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, and can even be chained through multiple crates. AND, each time you add a new Crate to the chain, you can use a different Crop type for the next section of the chain! Isn’t that wild?!?

Wheelbarrow

Using a Wheelbarrow is a great way to collect a bunch of same-type Crops at once. The Wheelbarrow can be purchased during a level, and placed on top of any Crop on the board. Once it’s placed, it will collect all of that same Crop type on the board. Great for Crop collection levels!

Extra Moves

Sometimes, a few extra moves make all the difference. For those occasions, you can purchase Extra Moves. This power-up is available before the level begins, or after you run out of moves, and can be purchased with Diamonds.

Sunbeams

Who couldn’t use a little more sun? Purchase the Sunbeam power-up and you’ll get additional Sunbeams added to Crops on the board to start the level. These can then be used to quickly clear our rows of Crops! This can be especially useful on levels with lots of Hazards.

Now let’s try out these awesome Power-Ups!

Thanks!

FV2 CE: “Harvest Swap – How To: Combos & Super Abilities”

13 May 2015 FarmMaster 0

Hey Farmer!

There are Combos and Super Abilities that will help you progress in the game.
Here’s how they work:

How do I make a Sunbeam and what does it do?

When you line up 4 Crops in a row, you create a combo that gives one of those Crops the Sunbeam Super Ability. You can tell that a Crop has a Sunbeam when it glows brightly. Matching a Sunbeam Crop will harvest an entire row of Crops, either horizontally or vertically! Use Sunbeams wisely to score big points!

What is a Barrel and how do I make one?

Matching 5 Crops in a row creates a Barrel. Barrels are super powerful because you can harvest ALL of one type of Crop from the whole board, at once! For example, if you have a Barrel adjacent to a Strawberry, swapping the Barrel and the Strawberry will harvest EVERY Strawberry on the board. This is a huge asset on collection levels.

Prized Crops sound awesome! How can I make some, and what do they do?

A Crop turns into a Prized Crop whenever it is swapped into position to make an “L” or “T” shape of all one type of Crop. You can tell it’s a Prized Crop by the ribbon it displays. Once a Crop becomes a Prized Crop, harvesting it will cause the Prized Crop to explode, harvesting all the Crops around it in a 3×3 area, then after new crops cascade in, the Prized Crop explodes AGAIN to harvest another 3×3 area of Crops. By golly, that’s good!

I can make a Crate? Great! But what is it, and why do I want one?

Matching crops in a 2×2, or square, pattern will create a Crate. Crates do not cascade down the board like regular Crops. Instead, they stay in one spot on the board until you use them. To use a Crate, use your finger to drag a line starting on the Crate, and then through as many of one particular type of Crop as you can. You can keep dragging to make a longer and longer chain, as long as you’re connecting the same type of Crop. You can drag vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Once you’ve got as many Crops as you can, remove your finger and all of those Crops will be collected into the Crate and harvested. You can even chain multiple Crates together for truly MASSIVE chains!

Can I make any other Combos?

Heck yeah! If you’ve got two Supers (Sunbeam, Barrel, Prized Crop, Crate) side by side, swap them and see what happens! Combining Supers together results in some really incredible surprises! Try for as many as you can find!

Thanks!

FV2 CE: “Harvest Swap – How To: Basic Gameplay!”

12 May 2015 FarmMaster 0

Hey Farmer!

Playing Harvest Swap is fun and simple. Here are some basic game rules.

> How do I make a Match?

To make a Match, you will need to line up a minimum of 3 Crops of the same type in a row. This “harvests” those Crops, earning you points and progress toward your goals.

> How do Level Goals work?

Each level has unique Level Goals required for successful completion. There are four different types of Level Goals.

1. Earn points. Make as many matches and combos as possible to score big!

2. Collect Crops. These levels may require a bit more planning. Your instinct may be to only make matches for the Crops you need, but remember: sometimes making a combo, even with a Crop you don’t need, can end up dropping and Harvesting more Crops you DO need! Also, don’t forget to use your Barrels!

3. Drop special item(s) to the bottom of the board. These special items could be anything, from feed bags that feed your famished flock, to firewood that fans the flames on a freezing farm. Just get each item to the bottom of the board by Harvesting all the Crops below!

4. Remove Hazards. Whether it’s Mud, or Frost, or any number of other threats to your farm, sometimes you’ve just gotta roll up your sleeves and get the job done. If you come across a level that requires you to clear out some hazards, don’t forget: big combos and well-timed power-ups can be your best friend!

> What’s a Harvest Bonus?

After you complete a level, any remaining moves you have become a Harvest Bonus! The Harvest Bonus turns one Crop into a Prized Crop for each move you have left, and all of those Prized Crops explode one by one, earning you massive points!

> I’m stuck on a level and I just can’t seem to beat it. What do I do?

Some levels are designed to be more difficult than others. You may come across one that really challenges you, and requires you to think about the game in a different way. Combos and power-ups are always an option that may help, but if you’re still having trouble, check out our Facebook Fan Page (COMING SOON!) for some helpful tips!

> I beat all the levels. When are more levels coming out?

Soon! The team is working to provide new and exciting levels as fast as possible. Keep an eye on the Facebook Fan Page (COMING SOON!) and the FarmVille: Harvest Swap Twitter account (COMING SOON!) to hear about updates as soon as they’re available!

Thanks!

A brand new event is here! Complete challenges with your Co-Op. Work together to win exclusive Power Pins and other prizes!

If you are at least level 10, you will see a pop-up inviting you to the Farmer’s Market Co-Op Event! You will probably have to force close the game to see the update, which means to clear it from your mobile device’s memory. You may even need to reboot your device.

The Event Grounds will be located behind Eagle Eye Eddie. Similar to a Leaderboard, you will see 3 orders at a time that either can be harvested (crops), or crafted. Each item requested will have a different timer to allow you time to get the items needed. Recipes with Event items will have higher point values. The only new item that can be found is Brown Sugar, which can be found in the Glade, Pond, Pier, Mine, Mill and Prized Animals. There are many recipes that call for Brown Sugar, so stock up on as much as possible. You will need Brown Sugar during the entire event!

Each challenge will be timed. You can finish a challenge early but you’ll need to wait until the next challenge unlocks before progressing. The more challenges you & your Co-Op complete the better the rewards! The Mega Prize is a 10 day power pin that gives free stamps daily. If your Co-Op completes every challenge the Mega Prize will last 18 days.

You can view your Co-Op contributors on the 3rd tab.

Boosts:

On the upper right of the first tab of the Event (image above) is where you can easily access the Boosts available. You can boost the amount of Market Points by 50% for coins, or by 100% with keys for one hour.
