How to maximize Farmville neighbors
Having many neighbors can bring you some significant benefits. Many of these benefits are conspicuous, such as permitting you to expand your farm cheaply, but some others are more easily left out. If you really need to be successful in FarmVille, though, you’ll need to ensure that you’re getting everything you are able to out of your neighbors. Sometimes this will require a bit of effort, but it will be well worth the extra work in the long run.
Neighbors are key to increasing your XP, coins, and moving up levels!
Crop and Plot Fertilization
Of course, it’s good to both you and your neighbors if they can fertilize your crops and you are able to fertilize theirs. You get extra XP (experience points) when you harvest crops that have been fertilized, and your neighbors earn extra coins for each plot of yours they fertilize. Still, when you’re not attending to your farm for an extended time period, you might think there’s no point in plowing your fields since you can’t plant on them.
If you go this path, though, you’ll miss out on the chance to have your full farm fertilized when you return. Your neighbors can’t fertilize fallow land, but they can fertilize plowed plots even if they haven’t been planted yet. And when you do return to plant on them, your crops will be fertilized. It is important to pass this information to your neighbors. If your friends have to spend some time away from their farm, you would like to be able to earn your coins fertilizing their plots too.
Gifts
Because the game no longer directs you to the free gift page every time you log into FarmVille, it’s easy to forget to send these gifts to your friends. It is easy for your friends to forget to send gifts to you as well. Even if you don’t need the gifts that you receive, you are able to always sell them for some extra coins, so you’ll prefer to remind your neighbors to keep sending them if they’ve been ignoring this aspect of the game. The best way to prompt them to send gifts your way is to remember to send gifts to them.
Bonuses
Every time your neighbors earn a ribbon, you’ll have the chance to receive a bonus from them. Some of these bonuses are as small as 50 coins, and it may seem like more hassle than it’s worth to look through your news feed to find them all. But these small bonuses total up fast. You’ll be missing out if you don’t make use of as many as you can find.
It’s never a bad thing to have some extra coins around – you are able to even use them to buy some extra items to earn XP and level up more quickly. So to be successful in FarmVille, you need to be able to capitalize on every opportunity that’s presented to you, regardless how trivial it seems at the time.
