Playing FarmVille 2
Are you ready to play? We hope
so! Click this link to play the game on Facebook.https://apps.facebook.com/farmville-two/?fb_source=search&ref=ts
In FarmVille 2, you have
inherited the old “family farm” and now it’s time bring it to life! When you
first enter the game, you’ll receive a Postcard from your old friend, Marie.
After you read the postcard, just click on the “Okay” button at the bottom of
it to turn it over and get a glimpse of the kind of farm you could create one
day!

Are you ready to start
farming? If so, just click the “Okay” button at the bottom of the postcard
picture, and you can get started.
The postcard will fade away
and you will get your first glimpse of your farm! Your old friend Marie is
there, waiting for you! She’s one of your neighbors and will help you get your
farm going.

Click on ‘Hi’ to greet Marie.
She will walk you through the basics of playing FarmVille 2.

Harvesting Crops
The first thing Marie will
teach you to do is harvest crops. Your farm already has a few planted and she
can show you how to harvest them! To harvest your crops, all you have to do is
click on them when they are ready. Marie’s there to show you how, just click
where the bouncing yellow arrow points.

As your crops are harvested,
they will pop up off the farm plot, and bounce around near where they were
planted. To gather the crops into your inventory you can just swipe your mouse
pointer over them, or wait a few moments and they will automatically go to your
inventory!

Tip: You
can quickly plant, water and harvest crops by clicking and dragging your cursor
over plots. 

Watering Crops
The next thing Marie will do
is show you how to water crops that are planted. Crops need Water in order to
grow, and watering them is just as easy as harvesting them. All you need to do
is click on planted crops that have the water drop symbol on them and they will
be watered!

Now your crops are ready to
go. They will be ready to harvest in no time!

Tip:
Your water reserves will deplete as you water dry crops. If you are running
low, you can ask your Neighbors for water or wait for your water to regenerate
on its own. 

Planting Crops

Harvesting and watering crops
are great, but you’ll need to plant them too! Marie will show you how to do
that. Just click on the Market button in the lower-right corner of the game. A
bouncing yellow arrow will help you find it.

Marie would like you to plant
more tomatoes. To select them just click on the tomato in the Market. Tomatoes
cost 10 coins to plant and take just one minute to grow! There is a bouncing
yellow arrow to help you find them.

Now that you have tomatoes
selected, you are back at your farm and ready to plant.
Crops need an empty farm plot
in order to be planted. Fortunately you have a few thanks to your earlier
tomato harvest. Just click on the four empty plots while the tomato is on your
mouse pointer and the tomatoes will be planted and ready!

Don’t forget, now that the
tomatoes are planted, they need water! Just click the plots again to water them.

If you would like to add more
empty plots to your farm, use the “Plots” button, located in the Tools Menu.
Just click on the area where you would like a plot, and voila!

That’s the basics for crops.
You plant them on empty farm plots by selecting the crop you want from the
Market, water the planted crops, and harvest them when they are ready!

Tip:
Plant crops that fit your schedule. FarmVille 2 features tons of crops with
varying harvest times. Planning ahead can save you the hassle of withered crops!
 
 
Taking Care of Animals

Next Marie will help you learn
how to take care of the animals on your Farm! She will give you some feed to
get you started, and ask you to feed your chicken. Just swipe your mouse over
the feed to collect it, and then click on your hungry chicken.

When you do this, your chicken
will eat the feed and give you an egg. Swipe your mouse over the egg to collect
it.

Next, a wild goat will jump
out of the bushes and onto your farm! She’s hungry too, just click her to feed
her and get some milk.

That’s the basics for animals.
Give them feed and they will give you an Ingredient that you can sell for coins!

One good thing worth knowing
is that your friends can visit your farm and feed your animals for free. You
don’t need to have enough feed for them to do this, and it’s a great way to
keep all of your animals happy. Let’s invite some of your friends to play FarmVille
2 with you!

Just select the friends you
would like to invite and click “Send” to invite them. They will be farming with
you in no time!
If you don’t want to invite
friends right away, just click the ‘X’ button at the top right corner of the
neighbor invite window.

Tip:
Different Animals produce different Ingredients. By opening the Market and
hovering your cursor over the Animal’s Market Cards, you can find out what
Ingredients they will provide you. 

Section: The Market Stand

Now that you know how to
harvest crops and goods, it’s time to learn how to get more coins! Marie will
take you over to your market stand, go ahead and click on it and we can learn
how to sell your crops and goods!

Once you click the Market
Stand, the Sell Your Goods window will open. Just click on the items you want
to sell to get them queued up. Marie would like you to sell one Milk and one
Egg.

Once they are both selected
for sale, just click the ‘Sell’ button and you are done! The coins will be on
your farm next to the Market stand. You can swipe them with your mouse, or just
wait a few moments and they will be automatically added to your total.

Using the Market Stand is that
easy! If you have Ingredients or Crops, you can sell them in the Market Stand
for Coins.

Tip: If
you accidentally select something you don’t want to sell, you can cancel the
sale by pressing the “X” in the top right of the Market Stand Menu. 

Expansions

Now it’s time to expand your
farm. Marie will take you to the back field and offer to help clear it. Before
she can do that you have to make sure you can afford it. Click on the back
field where the bouncing arrow is.

All you need for this
expansion is 175 coins, and you have them! Just click the ‘Expand’ and more
space is yours!! Marie will call in a few friends to help clean up the
expansion and uncover a few new items for you to use!

That’s all you need to know to
expand your farm. Each expansion has requirements, and as you meet them you can
unlock more farming space, and new secret items, like the Feed Mill.
Tip: Did
you know that unlocking certain expansions will grant you Decorations,
Resources and access to new game mechanics?

Leveling Up

You now have enough experience
to reach Level 2! The Level Up window will show you the items you have earned
with your new level, and let you share a reward with your friends. In this
case, at Level 2 you unlock the Wheat crop!

As an additional bonus, when
you level up any of your planted crops will mature and be ready to harvest, and
you will get some free coins and water!

Tip:
Keep leveling to unlock new Decorations, Crops, Animals and so much more!

Making Feed & Using Notes

Now that you know how to grow
crops, feed animals, and sell crops and goods, it’s time to learn how to make
feed for your animals.

On the upper left side of your
screen there is a Note that will teach you how. It has a picture of Marie and a
bouncing arrow to make it easy to find. Just click on that picture and you will
see what you need to do to get started!

Marie would like you to make
four feed from your tomatoes, and to feed a chicken! You can close this note,
or click the “Go to Farm!” buttons to get to it! When you do, Marie will walk
you over to your Feed Mill and ask you to turn the crank to make feed.

Just click on the Feed Mill to
get started!

Your feed mill will let you
turn those tomatoes into feed for your Animals. All you need to do is click on
the picture of the tomato four times.

At the bottom of the Feed Mill
window, it will show you how much feed you are going to make. In this case,
four tomatoes will make four feed.

Click the “Make” button and
the feed is yours! If you ever change your mind about the feed you are making,
you can close this window and cancel the action by clicking the ‘X’ in the top
right corner of the Feed Mill window.

In this case, click the ‘Make’
button for Marie. The feed will be made and ready for you on your farm. Swipe
it and it’s yours!

Your chicken is hungry again;
click her to feed her! This will complete the ‘Vittles for Your Littles’
Reminder and give you experience and coin as a reward!

Click the ‘Okay’ button to
close the reward window.

Tip: Notes are there to help you progress through the game. You can
complete them at your own pace!
Other Crops

So far you have learned how to
plant, water, and harvest crops, take care of your animals, make feed for them,
and sell your crops and goods. Let’s take one last step and plant some long
term crops that have higher selling value!

Marie would like you to
harvest eight tomatoes and then plant and water eight wheat. Wheat is a longer
term crop, taking four hours to be ready to harvest, but giving you more coin
in return when sold, or more feed if you use it in the mill!

If you click ‘Go to Farm!’ you
will close the note and be back on your farm to take care of Marie’s requests!
…and that’s the end of the
Getting Started Guide! At this point Marie will go home to take care of her
farm!
You can visit Marie, harvest
your tomatoes and plant wheat, play with your animals, decorate, or anything
you want! Welcome to
FarmVille2, we hope you have fun!
