FV2 CE: “The FarmVille Games!”

15 September 2016 FarmMaster 0

The First Annual FarmVille Games are here and it’s time to show what you’re made of! Compete in fun-filled farm games and go for the gold!

If you are at least level 12, you will see a pop-up inviting you to the FarmVille Games! 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.

Start off the quests by visiting the FarmVille Games Stadium, located behind Eagle Eye Eddie’s airplane. The Event HQ is where you earn Style points, and display the leaderboard.

The FarmVille Games start on 9/14/2016. It has 2 stages, giving you a total of 12 days to compete with players for the top leaderboard position and complete the FarmVille Games quests.

The top 5 players at the end of each stage get to earn the exclusive Greyhound Farm Hand. Those ending up in the Silver tier will get Gold Stamps, Padlocks, and Keys, while players in the Bronze tier will get Silver Stamps, Padlocks, and Golden Gloves!

The 2nd Stage will start on 9/20/2016, giving you another shot to win the Greyhound as a Farm Hand. If you have won the Greyhound from the first stage, this stage will give you the chance to upgrade her to a Tracksuit Greyhound.

Note: You will only be able to earn one of the rewards, not all three! Your rank on the last day of the event determines the reward you will receive!

The FarmVille Games Stadium is 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: Gold and Silver Torches

You can boost the amount of Sytle 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 of the same 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 get the exclusive Greyhound Farm Hand. If you are in the middle tier (Silver) at the end of the event, you will receive 2 Gold Stamps, 2 Padlocks and 10 Keys. The lowest tier (Bronze) will reward you with 1 Silver Stamp, a Padlock, and 5 Golden Gloves. You will only receive one of the rewards at the end, not all three.

Temporary Place of Interest: Training Field

Across the road from the Event HQ is the Training Field. You can send up to 3 Farm Hands here to get Event items such as Ripe Watermelon, Almonds, and Rubber Extract.

New item needed and where to locate it:

Ripe Watermelon: Training Field, Grandma’s Glade, and Prized Animals

Almonds: Training Field, and Merryweather Mine

Rubber Extract: Training Field, Pappy’s Pond, Mallard Mill, and the Cove.

Tip: Crafted items that need these ingredients will be worth higher Style points! Make sure to have plenty of these items to help you move up on the leaderboard!

FV2 Country Escape: “The Frontier Park!”

5 September 2016 FarmMaster 0

An amusement park tycoon is wanting to open a new park themed around the American frontier towns. Your farm is the perfect location to try out some new theme ideas, and a new giant roller coaster!

If you are at least level 12, you will see a pop-up inviting you to the Frontier Park. 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.

Start off the event by visiting the Event Green located behind Eagle Eye Eddie’s airplane. The Event green will be dressed with a large arch that looks like a park entrance, carnival games, old west style-themed kiosks, and a giant roller coaster on the north-east side to give that merrymaking feel all around.

To celebrate this extraordinary occasion. Farmers will have to complete orders to create lines of 4 completed orders on the order board for bonus points. The order board will display green checks when orders could be sold.

When a line of orders is completed, the whole 4×4 board is reset; prizes at set point levels; bonus Gold Pan for completing boards.

TIP: If you complete 2 or 3 lines in one move on your board you will get 2x or 3x the points!

The Frontier Park will run until September 11, and players will have 12 days to complete all quests and get their chance to win Speed Seeds, Stamps, Golden Gloves, and the opportunity to have a limited-time visit from Bess as a TEMPORARY Farm Hand!

• You can buy through a card you don’t have the item inventory to complete

• When you buy through card group with keys:

a. You get 3 Gift bags(same as 3x Bingo Order Board flow)

FV Tropic Escape: “What are Geodes?”

4 September 2016 FarmMaster 0

Domingo says that the Geodes are gifts from Zemi the volcano spirit. Geodes are found by expanding to new plots of land. A new Geode looks like this:

Use Tools to extract crystals from the Geodes.

Geodes randomly give three types of crystals:

orange crystals
blue crystals
purple crystals

Each Tool is better for getting a specific color of crystal from a Geode:

Pickaxe = orange crystals
Mallet = blue crystals
Shovel = purple crystals

Get more Tools by completing guest orders at the Order Board, or buy with Gems.

Using a Tool on a Geode starts the process, but it takes a while before the crystals are released and can be collected. The Geode glows while preparing to be collected.

Tap on the Geode to see when it will be ready to be collected. You can use Sunshine or Gems to rush the process.

Once the Geode is ready for collection, it will sparkle.

Tap on it and collect your crystals. You’ll receive XP, crystals, and sometimes other random rewards such as Sunshine or Quick-Sand.

About Crystals: Crystals are used to craft valuable Goods at the Jeweler.

You can use Goods made with crystals to complete special orders at the Order Board that reward you with Sand Dollars, and for other special uses.

You’ll be able to collect many crystals from each Geode, but they don’t last forever. Eventually a Geode will run out of crystals and disappear. This is a Geode about halfway through its life:

And this is a Geode that will soon disappear:

When your Geode looks like this, it’s time to look for another one! Keep expanding to new land plots to find Geodes.

FV Tropic Escape: “What are Helicopter Orders?”

4 September 2016 FarmMaster 0

Helicopter orders are part of running a celebrity resort! They unlock at Level 16. Tap on the Helipad or Helicopter to open the Helicopter Orders window.

Helicopter orders ask for multiple Goods and all orders shown must be completed to earn the valuable Sand Dollar rewards.

Tap on one of the orders to either Fill Order or Ask for Help. You receive coins and XP for filling the individual orders.

A green checkmark means you have filled that order. Tapping Fill Order for Goods you don’t have will give you a pop-up with a hint on how to fill the order.

Tap Ask for Help if you’re having trouble making or buying enough of the Goods you need to complete the orders. This will send a request for help to your friends,who may be able to complete the rest of the order for you.

Remember to return the favor when someone asks for help! Go to a friend’s island and tap on their Helipad to finish filling their order.

Tapping Skip will send the Helicopter away and you’ll have to wait for it to return with a new set of orders.

Helicopter orders are timed. You need to complete all the orders before the Helicopter departs in order to receive the Sand Dollar reward.

Use Sand Dollars to purchase additional Animals and trees at the Island Store.

Gourmet Farm! (Official Guide)

3 September 2016 FarmMaster 0

Have you ever wondered what it would be like, to craft gourmet delicacies in your private, mountain farm? Well, now you can!

The Gourmet farm is a new farm up in the mountains where you can grow new crops, make new gourmet recipes and win awesome rewards that make your home farm better!

If you’re at level 35 or more, the “Travel now to your Gourmet farm!” popup will appear. Click on the “Go Now” button to proceed with the feature.

Travelling to the Gourmet farm

After seeing a preview of the Gourmet farm, you will be presented with early access to the feature. If you choose to purchase the early access, you will receive a Fancy Hot Air Balloon, which replaces the regular Hot Air Balloon, and a Gourmet Farm starter pack of 30 Mulch and 20 Insta-craft. You will also experience the wonders of exploring the Gourmet farm ahead of other players.

You can also choose to wait until the general release of the feature.

How do I travel between Farms?

Going to and from your Gourmet farm to your home farm is done via a Hot Air Balloon. You can ride it anytime to switch between Farms!

Specialized Crops

Your Gourmet Farm is the perfect place for you to grow all kinds of grapes and cocoa beans with which you can craft fine wines and chocolate. You can purchase these gourmet seeds from the General Store using coins.

Mulch

For your crops to grow, you won’t need water as your own private waterfall keeps the soil rich and fertile. What you will need is Mulch, which you earn by harvesting fertilized crops on your home farm. On your Gourmet Farm, you can earn more Mulch from neighbor visits. Hover over the planted seeds to start using Mulch.

Animals

You will also be able to raise special animals in your Gourmet Farm. The new animals are Mountain Goats and Yaks which all thrive in the cool mountain air. Once you’ve level 7 on your Gourmet Farm, you can buy these animals in the General Store.

Feed

The baby animals are fed with Bottles to raise them. When they are all grown up, they will need Feed, which you can get from your home farm. A Feed Mill will be available in your Gourmet Farm once the land expansion containing the Cheesery has been unlocked.

Feeding your adult animals will produce special milk that is used to craft Gourmet Cheese. Each type of animal will provide a different kind of milk so you can create a variety of cheeses in the Cheesery.

The Bistro

The Bistro plays an important role in the Gourmet Farm. It’s where you serve visitors your handcrafted gourmet food. It also represents your progress on the Gourmet Farm as a whole.

The Bistro is located at the corner of the Gourmet Farm. To access it, simply click on the building.

How does the Bistro work? The Bistro is a great place to earn more Credits and Reputation Points to help you level up. The first step is to craft gourmet food.

Harvested Gourmet Food will automatically serve visitors at the Bistro, who give you Credits in return. Craft enough Gourmet Food and serve certain number of visitors every week until you reach your goal!

You will earn more Credits and Reputation Points as a reward as soon as you complete your goal.

You can also use Silver and Gold Platters to help you meet your goal quickly. You can buy them for Farmbucks in the Bistro and they will help you serve twice and thrice the number of visitors per Gourmet craft for 24 hours.

The Bistro will tier up as you progress. It will grow in size and will give more Reputation Points. It will also unlock new Gourmet crafting buildings and unique types of Boosts that supercharge your home farm.

Boosts

You can exchange your Credits for Boosts for your home farm. You can see the Boosts on your home Farm as well as your Gourmet Farm, but you will only be able to buy them on your home farm. Click on the dark pink lightning icon on the Tool tray to find the Boosts.

Boosts are like certificates and power-ups for your Home Farm. You will unlock more as you level up. Currently, there are 4 categories of boosts: Crop and Tree Boosts, Increased Capacity Boosts, Animal Boosts, and Miscellaneous Boosts.

This is where you can see the details of the boost and what it can do.

The Bistro Tiers unlock new types of boosts while Reputation Points unlocks more powerful versions of unlocked boost types.

All boosts are valid for a limited time. They are activated as soon as you purchase them.

Note: You can activate only one boost at a time.

Credits

Credit is a currency from the Gourmet Farm that you can use to purchase Boosts.

Visitors at your Gourmet Farm will give you Credits in exchange for gourmet crafts. You can also use Insta-craft to craft your goods instantly.

Once the Gourmet Wines and Foods are harvested, it is automatically served to your visitors. The visitors will give you Credits in return. You can use the Credits that you earned to purchase Boosts that will supercharge your Home Farm. (Look for the dark pink lightning icon in the tool tray!)

This is where you can your available Credits.

You will also find the Credits that you earn in the Boost marketplace.

Reputation

Reputation Points (RP) serves as the Experience Points (XP) for the Gourmet farm. You will be earning Reputation Points for actions done on the Gourmet farm including visitors served. Hovering your mouse on the RP counter will show you how many RP’s are needed to level up.

Earning Reputation Points will increase your Reputation level which will unlock additional seeds, recipes, boosts, and expansions.

The Bistro’s Tier will also upgrade at certain Reputation levels.

Visiting Neighbor Farms

Similar to the home farm, you will also be able to visit the Gourmet Farms of your neighbors. You will be able to do several actions such as feed animals, harvesting crops, and much more. By being such a great helper, you will receive Mulch and Reputation Points as rewards!

FV Tropic Escape: “What is the Top Resort Tournament?”

1 September 2016 FarmMaster 0

We know everyone has been working hard to earn those three stars on their Weekly Resort Ratings. Now take it to the next step.

Introducing the Top Resort Tournament! For the final three days of each week, resort owners battle it out for amazing prizes.

Show that your resort is the crème de la crème, the best resort destination of them all.

Earn Weekly Resort Rating points by crafting Goods to participate in the Tournament leaderboard.

Access the leaderboard by tapping on the Weekly Resort Rating board in front of your inn.

Then tap on the tab with the “trophy” icon to open the Tournament window.

At the top of the Top Resort Tournament window you’ll see a timer. It shows:

a) when the next competition starts; or

b) how much longer the current Tournament will run.

If you win First Place, you’ll receive a special Tournament animal that will stay in your resort for one week, and then leave.

These animals can help you greatly in the next Top Resort Tournament.

If you win a Tournament animal, open the Island Store and go to the Animals tab to find it.

Drag it onto your island to begin using it, but be warned, the animal will leave in one week whether you use it or not.

Once you’ve placed the Tournament animal, the Animals tab will show you how much time is left before it leaves.

This is the Top Resort Tournament window showing an active Tournament with the rankings of the players, how many points you need to move up in the rankings, and the prizes.

At the bottom of the screen, there are three boosts you can use to increase your crafting points:

• GOOD is free for the first spin to receive a random boost. If you don’t like the boost you receive on the free spin, you can pay Gems to try for a more useful boost.

• BETTER costs Gems, but gives you a better boost that increased your crafting by three times. Again, if you don’t like what you receive, you can pay Gems to try for a different boost, but the Gem cost will keep going up with each spin.

• BEST costs more Gems, but gives you the best boosts that increase your crafting by four times. You can pay more Gems to spin again for a different boost.

In the example shown here, the free Good boost shows that every time you craft one Fish Taco, you’ll receive two Fish Tacos.

FV Tropic Escape: “What is the Weekly Resort Rating?”

29 August 2016 FarmMaster 0

Earn a 3-star rating once a week! Your island’s Weekly Resort Rating depends on the number of Goods you can craft in a span of seven days to earn valuable rewards.

Tap on the Weekly Resort Rating 3-star board in front of your inn to open the rating window.

From here, you can check on your progress and the remaining time before the Weekly Resort Rating ends.

Tap View Rewards to see what prizes you can win. Prizes are random each week. The higher your star rating is, the better the rewards! You can collect your rewards at the end of the rating week.

Tap the Star in the upper right corner of the window in order to check your island’s rating history.

FV Tropic Escape: “What are landmarks? How do they work?”

29 August 2016 FarmMaster 0

You can earn more rewards by going to special locations called landmarks.

The known landmarks are:

Coral Reef
Hot Spring
Smugglers’ Cave
Merchant Shipwreck
Sky Cliffs

Guides are your permanent characters such as Domingo, Chloe, and Maya.

You can send your Guides to the landmarks to earn rewards. The Coral Reef is shown here.

Tap on the Coral Reef to open the landmark window. At the center top, you’ll see what supplies are needed to visit this landmark. The green check mark means you have enough supplies.

Certain Guides only become available to visit a landmark when you have unlocked their landmark. The current Guides and the landmarks that unlock them for use are:

Coral Reef = Domingo, Chloe at Level 4
Hot Spring = Maya at Level 12
Smugglers’ Cave = Luis at Level 18
Merchant Shipwreck = Zack at Level 24
Sky Cliffs = Lola at Level 30

Kate is too busy driving the boat and delivering orders to visit the landmarks.

On the left is your roster of available Guides. You may also have Guests to use. To get Guests, join a Beach Club and ask your Club members to send you a Guest.

Tap and hold on a Guide or Guest, then drag them onto the landmark. You can see that each landmark has positions for a number of visitors. The number of visitors you can send changes from landmark to landmark.

The more Guides and Guests you send, the better your chances become to win the rewards shown on the right side of the landmark window. Notice how each reward has a colored ring around it. The rings indicate your chances of winning that reward at the end of the visit as follows:

a full green ring means you’re guaranteed to get that reward
a partial green ring means you have a high chance.
a yellow ring means you have a medium chance.
a red ring means you have a low chance.

The number on the reward indicates how many of that item you’ll receive.

The Mystery Chest gives random rewards, often a valuable storage part.

When you’ve placed your Guides or Guests, tap on the green button at the bottom to start the visit. The button also shows you how long the visit takes.

When the landmark visit is complete, you’ll see the Question Mark icon on the left side of the screen.

Tap on the Question Mark icon to be taken to the landmark that is ready to be collected.

There will also be a green Question Mark over the landmark itself when it’s ready.

Tap on the landmark, and then tap on each reward!

If you win a Mystery Chest, tap it to reveal more rewards and tap on the bonus rewards to collect them.

Tap on the green left or right arrow to the side of the landmark’s name to move to the next landmark.

Landmarks are unlocked by level, so keep leveling up and expanding to reach all of the landmarks!

Note: If your storage is full, you will be unable to collect the rewards from the landmark until you have enough space in your Silo and/or Boathouse.
