The Duck House Guide!

5 November 2013 FarmMaster 0

The Duck House has arrived in FarmVille 2! Use this building to store up to 18 Prized Ducks and feed them all with a single click! If that wasn’t enough, Prized Ducks in the House will only require half the Feed and you also gain an additional +50 Feed Capacity!

If you are level 15 or higher, you will see the following pop-up. Click on the “Place on Farm” button to get started.

Note: You can purchase a completed Duck House for Farm Bucks (Building Materials and additional helpers are not required).

Building the Duck House:

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

Duck Ladders
Duck Posts
Bags of Moss

To collect Duck Ladders, 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 Duck Posts and Bags of Moss to your Neighbors. If you do not wish to wait for your friends, you can skip any of these tasks for Farm Bucks.

Note: You can send a request for materials to your Friends every 18 hours.

Once you have collected the required items, click on the “Start Building” button at the bottom of the construction Menu.

Now that the Duck House is almost complete, you will need a little help from your Neighbors to finish the job. The Duck House requires four additional helpers, so click on the “Ask Friends” button to send some crew requests to your Friends. When they accept, you will see the spots in the Build Menu begin to fill. If you do not wish to wait for your friends, click on the “Hire One” button to purchase crew members with Farm Bucks.

Using the Duck House:

Click on the Duck House to open the main menu.

Inside the Duck House, you will see placements that you can fill with Prized Ducks. Prized Ducks will take up one spot in your House regardless of breed (see below: American Pekin Duck).

Adding & Removing Ducks:

To add Prized Ducks in the House, check the “Auto Fill” box and click on the green “Add Prized Ducks” button. All of your Prized Ducks will automatically waddle into the House!

To remove a Prized Duck from the House, open the main menu and click on the red “–“ (minus symbol) box on the bottom left hand corner of the placement slot (see below: A).

The Duck cards have symbols on them to indicate different things:

A. Minus Symbol: Remove Ducks
B. Feed: How much Feed the Ducks will consume
C. White Feathers: How much the Ducks will produce (see below: Feeding)
D. Mastery: Animal Mastery Ribbons

Feeding:

Prized Ducks stored in the House will eat half of the amount of Feed they normally do. For example, a Duck that eats 10 Feed outside of the House will eat 5 Feed when inside the House. Note: Any Prized Duck that would normally eat an odd amount of feed outside of the Duck House will be rounded up by one. For example, a Duck that would normally eat 9 Feed will only need 5 Feed when stored in the Duck House.

White Feathers:

Each time you harvest the Duck House you will get White Feathers, which can be used in Crafting Workshop Recipes. Fill your Duck House all the way to get the most White Feathers when you harvest!

Note: The White Feathers will automatically go into your Inventory.

Additional Information:

The timer for your Duck House will pause when placed in Storage, and then resume once placed back on your farm.
If you do not wish to use the Duck House feature, it can be sold (frame only) or stored in your Inventory.
If you want to see how much time you have left to harvest, hover your cursor over the House.
You are limited to one Duck House per farm.
Rotate the House to view a different angle!

Sprinklers are here!

25 October 2013 FarmMaster 0

Note: This is a complex feature that touches many elements of the game. We are slowing rolling this out to all players over the upcoming months, so please be aware that you may not have this feature right away. We are very excited to get this out to all of our players as soon as possible, and we appreciate your patience.

Sprinklers are here! Use Sprinklers to water multiple Crops, Trees, and Groves on your farm with one single click. If that wasn’t enough, purchase additional Sprinklers to water your entire farm!

If you are level 15 or higher, you will see the following pop-up. Click on the “Learn More” button to get started.

Building your Standard Sprinkler:

To build the Standard Sprinkler, you will need to collect the following items:

Sprinkler Heads
Valves
Water Tubings

To collect Sprinkler Heads, 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 Valves and Water Tubings to your Neighbors. If you do not wish to wait for your friends, you can skip any of these tasks for Farm Bucks.

Note: You can send requests for materials to your Friends every 18 hours.

Once you have collected the required items, click on the “Start Building!” button at the bottom of the construction Menu.

Now that the Standard Sprinkler is almost complete, you will need to hire Friends to help you finish the job! The Standard Sprinkler requires four additional helpers, so click on the “Ask Friends” button to send some crew requests to your Friends. When they accept, you will see the spots in the Builder Menu begin to fill. If you do not want to wait for your friends, click on the “Hire One” button to purchase crew members with Farm Bucks. Once you have successfully filled all four spots, click on the “Finish Building” button.

Getting Started:

How many things can I Water at once?

Crops: You can water up to 9 Crops using the Standard Sprinkler.

Trees & Groves: You can water anything covered within the AoE (Area of Effect) of a Sprinkler. For example, if you place Trees or Groves within the AoE of the sprinkler, you will be able to Water everything that is in that particular area.

Using the Standard Sprinkler:

There are two different ways you can use the Sprinkler:

Water Painting Mode
Manually Clicking Mode

Water Painting Mode: In order to use the Standard Sprinkler in Water Painting Mode, you must have enough Water in your HUD (see image below) or Wells relative to that particular area (Crops, Trees, or Grove). Note: If you do not have enough Water (HUD and Wells), you will be notified by a message.

Once you’re ready to use the Standard Sprinkler, simply place the Sprinkler in the un-watered area of a Crop, Tree, or Grove (AoE: See “How Many things can I Water at once” section above). The next step is to click and drag (painting-like motion) your mouse over the AoE that you’d like to Water (similar to the Feed Painting Mode), and then watch the Water spout out!

Note: If you run out of Water from your HUD, your Standard Sprinkler will automatically harvest from your Wells.

Manually Clicking Mode: In order to use the Standard Sprinkler in the Manually Clicking Mode, you must have enough Water in your HUD (see image above), Wells, or Water in your Inventory relative to that particular area (Crops, Trees, or Grove).

Once you’re ready to use the Standard Sprinkler in the Manually Clicking Mode, simply right click it, and then drag and drop it in close proximity to the area (AoE) that you’d like to Water (see image below). Click the Standard Sprinkler to activate it and watch the Water spout out! Note: If you are in the Manually Clicking Mode cooldown, you can continue to use the Standard Sprinkler in the Water Painting Mode, however the cooldown timer will still be visible.

If you do not have enough Water to use over a particular area, you will be notified in the game.

Note: Similiar to the Beehives, you can place the Standard Sprinkler over Crops (see image above).

How often can I use the Standard Sprinkler?

If you use the Water Painting mode, you can use the Sprinkler as often as you’d like. Note that the cooldown timer will still be visible, however you can continue to use the Sprinkler regardless of this timer.

Helpful Tip: Use the Water Painting mode to Water your Crops, Trees, and Groves as efficiently as possible.

If you do not use the Water Painting mode, there is a short cooldown in between each Standard Sprinkler session. Simply hover your cursor over the Standard Sprinkler if you want to see how much time you have left until you can use it again.

Out of Water? There are a few different ways to get more:

Wells – Use the Water from your Wells
Inventory – Use Water reserves from your Inventory
General Store – Purchase Water Packs from the General Store

Do you like your Standard Sprinkler? You can purchase additional Sprinklers (Standard and Premium) in the General Store!

Helpful Tip: The more Sprinklers that cover your farm, the easier it is for you to Water your Crops, Trees, and Groves!

Additional Information:

Your first Standard Sprinkler is free, but you can purchase additional Sprinklers (Standard, Deluxe, and Super Deluxe) in the General Store.
Hover your cursor over the Standard Sprinkler if you want to see how much time you have left until you can use it again (Manually Clicking Mode only).
If you lack any requirements (such as not having enough Water), the game will tell you what you are missing.

Heirloom Trees!

15 October 2013 FarmMaster 0

Note: This is a complex feature that touches many elements of the game. We are slowing rolling this out to all players over the upcoming months, so please be aware that you may not have this feature right away. We are very excited to get this out to all of our players as soon as possible, and we appreciate your patience.

Are you interested in earning twice the amount of Coins and XP for crafted goods? If so, then Heirloom Trees are for you! Prune your Trees to make them Heirloom, and then harvest them for Heirloom Fruit, which you can use in high Coin and XP crafting Recipes! If that wasn’t enough, Heirloom Trees need less Water!

If you are level 14 or higher, you will see the following pop-up. Click on the “Place Garden Shed” button to get started.

Before you can start to Prune your Trees, you’ll need a Garden Shed to store your Shears. Click on your Garden Shed to open the main menu.

Earning Coins!

Once you’re finished Crafting, it’s time to earn some money! Your Finished Products can be sold in your Market Stand for Coins. The more difficult the Recipe, the higher the Coin yield will be.

Elder Trees:

As you Prune your Trees, they’ll mature and eventually become “Elder.” The great thing about an Elder Tree is that you can store it in your Inventory or sell it for a free Pruning Shear!

Note: You can only store up to 18 Elder Trees total at any given time.

If you want to see how many harvests you have left until an Heirloom Tree becomes Elder, hover over your cursor over it (see image below).

Everybody knows that berries attract Squirrels, so plant some berry Crops and look for them when harvesting!

Helper Squirrels will appear on your farm after you harvest any of the following berry Crops:

Boysenberry (Limited Edition)
Strawberry
Raspberry
Blueberry
Blackberry

Once you find a Squirrel, it will have a thought bubble to indicate what it’s ready for:

Hungry for Treats (Treat thought bubble): The Squirrel is hungry for Treats (see “Crafting Treats” section below).
Ready to Help (Tree thought bubble): The Squirrel is ready to help you tend to Trees and Groves (see “Using Helper Squirrels” section below).

Note: You are limited to a total of 10 Helper Squirrels on any given farm.

Fences:

Fences attract more Squirrels! You can purchase up to a total of 10 Fences for Coins or Farm Bucks from the Squirrel menu. Simply click the Squirrel Tree, and then click the blue “Get Fences” button.

Crafting Treats:

In order to use Helper Squirrels (Hungry for Treats), you must craft the Treat Recipes. Note: Once they are fed, (Tree thought bubble), you will be able to use them on Trees and Groves (see “Using Helper Squirrels” section below). You can craft your very own Treats via the Crafting Kitchen. From the Squirrel Tree menu, click on the “Craft” button to open the Kitchen. You can choose from three different Recipes:

Bag of 1 Squirrel Treat: The required Ingredients are Strawberries and Corn Meal. You will receive a total of one Treat.

2 Treats: The required Ingredients are Apples and Bag of Sesame Seeds. You will receive a total of two Treats.

3 Treats: The required Ingredients are Blueberries and Bag of Chia Seeds. You will receive a total of three Treats.

Using Helper Squirrels:

Feeding your crafted Treats to a Squirrel will allow you to use it to tend to your Trees and Groves. To feed a hungry Squirrel (Treat thought bubble), simply click on it.

To use the fed Squirrel (Tree thought bubble), simply click on it, then drag and drop it over a Tree or Grove. Similar to Farmhands, a thought bubble will indicate that your Squirrel will help you with one of the following tasks per Tree and/or Grove:

Water: If your Tree or Grove is not watered, use your Squirrel for Water.
Speed-Grow: If your Tree or Grove is watered, use your Squirrel for Speed-Grow.
Ready for Harvest: If your Tree or Grove is ready to be harvested, use your Squirrel for bonus output.

Once you have used your Helper Squirrel, it will run into your Squirrel Tree and you will be unable to use that particular Squirrel a second time.

Note: The Black and Brown Eastern Fox Squirrel speeds up two Groves at once.

Once you have fed enough Squirrels, you can earn some lovely prizes. Click on your Squirrel Tree to open up your progress menu.
