Getting Started in FarmVille

When you first start with FarmVille, you might be easily overwhelmed with all the options that you have – seeds, trees, animals, decorations. However, given the limited cash you have at first, you should try to maximize the use of your land and spend your money wisely. Otherwise, you might end up spending too much on something without much gains.

Two Things You Should Keep in Mind

1. Take it slow

I made the mistake of clearing too much land on my first day and ended up not having enough money to plant seeds in them.  Keep in mind that plowing one square of land would cost you 15 coins plus the cost of the seeds you want to plant in them.  So expand slowly.

2. Plan Ahead

Also, before splurging on expanding your farm, plow your land first then buy your seeds.  That way, you will now if you still have enough money left to expand your farm. If you do it the other way around (expanding first then plowing and planting), you might not be able to afford the seeds that you want to plant.

3. Consider Your Daily Schedule

I think one of the reasons many people are playing FarmVille is its flexibility in time. When you buy the seeds, you will know in advance when to come back and harvest them.  But waiting too long to harvest will cause the crops to wither.  So, plan accordingly.  Think about your daily routine and think about the time when you usually have your downtime.  By doing this, you will be able to enjoy the game a lot more because it will not be in the way of your other chores.
