My Family Farm: Tip #3 (Farming Jobs Part 3)

30 June 2014 FarmMaster 0

Early Access to My Family Farm is available, and on 7/3 General Access will arrive. To get you ready, we’re tearching farmers about the Farming Jobs your sweetheart can do to help out around the farm!
Farming Jobs Part 3:
In addition to the Farming Jobs that you probably recognize by now – Crop Care, Tree Care, Animal Care, Baby Animal Care, and Tree Pruning – there are new types of Farming Jobs your spouse can learn: Foraging, Pearl Diving, and Cave Exploring.
These new farming jobs give special items that are worth a lot when you craft with them. For instance, in the image below you can see that the Pearl Diving farming job gives you Pearls under the Job Benefits heading.
“Pearl Diving gives you Pearls!”
T3
If you go to your Crafting Workshop, you’ll see a number of new items you can craft using Pearls that are worth a lot. For instance, Heirloom White Pearl Cream is worth a lot of coins!
T3P2



In addition to the coin value of many of the new items you can find using the farming jobs, orders that ask for these items are worth a lot more too! For instance, in the order below that asks for Pearls from the Pearl Diving farm job and Mushrooms from the Foraging farm Job, you can see that not only is the order worth a good amount of coins, but it is worth 5 Favors. This number of favors is almost twice as much as regular orders!
“The new farm job areas will help you gain both coins and favors faster!”
T3P3

Your sweetheart starts with only two Energy, but as they learn more Farming jobs they’ll gain more Energy to use. The last farm job area you unlock and teach to your sweetheart is Cave Exploring, which comes with something extra. The fourth and final Energy is earned by learning Cave Exploring. 
T3P4
So not only do you get more coins and favors when you unlock and use the new Farm Job areas, but you also get more energy when you learn the final Farm Job!

My Family Farm: Tip #2 (Family Jobs Pt. 2)

24 June 2014 FarmMaster 0

The FarmVille 2 team wants you to be prepared for the release of My Family Farm! We discussed Family Jobs in our previous Tips post and now we’re going to explore those a little more. 
We will be sharing tips like these in the weeks leading up the release of My Family Farm on 7/3.
Family Jobs Part 2:
Last time we talked about how your sweetheart could learn to do jobs around the farm, like Crop Care, but this time we wanted to tell you a little bit about why these jobs are so great, and give you a sneak peak at what a couple of them do.
The Crop Care Family Job works a lot like what you get from Farm Hands in that you can have your sweetheart Water, Fertilize, Speed Grow, or Harvest any crops on the farm, and they won’t use any of your Water, Fertilizer or Speed Grow to help you. But the big difference is that Crop Care gives you a whole lot more help than a Farm Hand, making them really great partners on your farm!
“The first farming job your sweetheart can learn is Crop Care.”
Tip #2



You can help them learn other farming jobs that go way beyond what Farmhands can do, like Tree Care, where your sweetheart can water, fertilize or speed grow trees, and Baby Animal Care where they’ll be able to give Milk Bottles to raise up baby animals on your farm!
Finally there are three new farming job areas on your farm, like the Cave, where you can explore to find new rare resources to craft extremely valuable items to sell at your Market Stall or through the Big Harvest Order Board.

20 June 2014 FarmMaster 0

The Goat Cheesery is here. Help Barbara and Walter with their Wedding by crafting Artisan Goat Cheese using regular Milk and Herbs, and then churning them to collect all the Gourmet Cheeses to earn the exclusive Baby Muscovy Duck.Building the Goat Cheesery:

Your first step is collecting construction parts. You will need the following items to start building your Goat Cheesery:

  • Churning Vats
  • Goat Cheese Cloths
  • Cheese Paddles

To collect Churning Vats, click on the “Post” button to post to your Facebook wall – you will get the parts when your friends click on it, or when you click on a similar newsfeed post. 

Click on the “Ask” button to send requests for Goat Cheese Cloths and Cheese Paddles to your Neighbors. If you do not wish to wait for your friends, you can skip any of these tasks for Farm Bucks.


Using the Goat Cheesery: 
The Goat Cheesery requires a certain amount of Adult Goats on your farm that are not Prized to be functional. If you lack any requirements (such as not having enough Goats), the game will tell you what you are missing. When you feed your Adult Goats, they will drop Artisan Goat Cheese, which can be found in the Goat Cheesery.
Collecting Artisan Goat Cheese:
In order to get all the Gourmet Cheese, you will need to collect the Goat Artisan Cheese by feeding adult Goats. To see your Artisan Goat Cheese count, click on the Goat Cheesery to open the main menu. Your Artisan Goat Cheese total is located on the left-hand side of this screen. The number at the bottom of the Artisan Goat Cheese indicates how many you currently have in your Inventory.






Crafting Artisan Goat Cheese
: You can craft your very own Artisan Goat Cheese via the Crafting Kitchen. From the Goat Cheesery menu, click on the “Craft” button to open the Kitchen. The Ingredients for Winter Cream are as follows:

  • Artisan Goat Cheese: The required Ingredients are Milk and Herb. Note: To get Milk, feed your Adult Cows and Goats (feeding Prized Goats and Cowsdo not count). You can ask your Friends for the Herbs.


Feeding Adult Goats: You can find Artisan Goat Cheese by feeding your Adult Goats (feeding Prized Goats do not count). If you find some, they will appear on your farm in a similar fashion to Prize Goods.

When a Artisan Goat Cheese appears on your farm after harvesting, click on it and you will see the following pop-up:



Once you have collected Artisan Goat Cheese, you will be able to churn them by clicking on the blue “Churn” button from the Goat Cheesery menu.

Gourmet Cheese Ingredients: 
To earn the baby Muscovy Duck, you will need to collect types of the Gourmet Cheese Ingredients. To get these types of Ingredients, all you need to do is keep churning Goat Cheesery!
There are three types of Gourmet Cheese Ingredients you can receive:


  1. Bleu du Bocage
  2. Garrotxa
  3. Tomme de Chevre Aydius

If you do not want to wait to collect the Gourmet Cheese Ingredients, you can use Farm Bucks to skip these steps and get the new baby Muscovy Duck right away!
