Get to FarmVille Level 34 really fast! Level up several times a day!!!

One of the most coveted items In FarmVille is the Villa. One needs to be at Level 34 and have 1,000,000 FarmVille coins to buy the Villa. Unfortunately, going to Level 34 is tedious and takes weeks and weeks of excruciating mouse finger work.

Don't worry!!! On this blog I will show you another way of reaching Level 34 really really fast without spending a single dime of your real cash (aka credit card, dollar, etc) and without having to go to Mouse Click Hell.

I haven't spent a single *real* cash (U.S. Dollar) on online games but if you're wealthy and want to buy your way into leveling up, then by all means spend real cash. You'll make Zynga really happy as they are pulling in ~$500,000 on virtual goodies every day, and you'll be doing a good job stimulating the economy: http://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-beating-the-s-out-of-its-numbers-thanks-to-zyngas-virtual-goods-2009-9

I haven't spent a single dime on Zynga thus all of the hints here are on how to accumulate FarmVille coins and XP optimally without spending any real cash. Having that said, if you play the game with the intention of leveling up ASAP and without spending real money, then you should not have spent any FarmVille coins on animals, trees, and buildings until you reached high levels (Level 34). Instead, you should stick to the simple plow-plant-harvest only crop strategy, which allows you to make lots of FarmVille coins while leveling up as fast as you can (see my previous posts on the analysis of points/XP). One way to use the extra FarmVille coins is to buy items (building, etc) that will give you XP for leveling up. The rule in the game is that to gain 1XP, you'll have to spend 100 coins. The bang-for-bucks ratio is thus 1:100. So let's say you need 5000 XP to reach the next level, then you need to spend 500,000 coins. However it's not that easy to gain 500,000 coins, and it also has the downside of wasting squares on the items you bought that could otherwise be used for crops.

A better bang-for-bucks strategy is to use the plow-plant-delete method. That is, you plow (-15 coin, 1XP), then plant soybean (-15, 2XP), then delete, then repeat this many times. Using this method, you can get 3XP by spending only 30 coins. The bang-for-bucks ratio is thus 3:30, or a whopping 1:10. Going back to our example, if you need 5000 XP to reach the next level, you only need to spend 50,000 coins!

Of course, having to delete hundreds of plot of land is very time consuming and tiring to your fingers. But with the power of bot/auto-clickers, you can automate this process. I leveled up from 33 to 34 in about a day without much clicking by spending about 100,000 coins. Had I done this using the traditional plow-plant-harvest method, it would have taken many days. Below is a video showing you how it looks when you let the bot farm for you. Make sure you see the middle section (fast forwarded)!!

Trees, animals, etc in FarmVille

I didn't talk about trees and animals in my last few entries because they simply don't give good bang for bucks. Relative to crops, trees and animals yield less $$$ per time per square. Also, they're a pain to harvest, they don't yield XP (besides the initial Tree Hugger awards), and they're a total pain to do automation farming (see my previous entry on bot-farming).

However, trees look nice, and if YOUR goal of playing the game is to make things pretty, then by all means, plant trees. Having that said, if you must have trees, there are certain trees that are better. The guide here is a pretty good summary. I'm not going to re-type other people's analysis, so go ahead and visit the guide here:

http://myfivebest.com/advanced-farmville-tips/

The summary is basically that the only good trees to keep are Acai, Olive, Date, Pomegranate, and Banana trees.

How about animals? Keep all of them UNTIL you get all the 4 ribbons and after that, just keep the horse, goat, and duck. In fact, after you get your ribbons just get rid of the rest because they slow down your Flash engine.

Auto bot farming - painless repetition in Farmville

Do you have a big farm and/or simply tired of clicking? Are your fingers tired? Ever wished that someone or something could click for you, fast & free? Zynga started to offer the following tools that can perform 4 clicks for you (2x2 squares) with 1 click.

1) Tractor (2x2)
2) Harvester (2x2)
3) Seeder (2x2)

These tools are fine except they cost fuel. Fuel gets regenerated from time to time, but typically you exhaust them way before you're done farming. The alternative is to buy fuels. You buy fuels by using real money-- credit card on Facebook. I've never done this, but I can imagine why some people who have money would do it this way.

What if you can have a tool that can click 25 times for you? Or maybe even 64 times? What if you can create your own 8x8 tool or even bigger? Yes you can! It's easy! As a developer myself, I prefer to use automation tools that help with repetitive tasks. As an example, the web QA people I worked with loved Selenium, a tool that would auto click on buttons and fill out forms on the web. However, Selenium doesn't work on Flash. So I decided to try out a generic mouse macros on Farmville. I've personally tried the Mouse and Keyboard Recorder 6.5 for the PC and I like it so far. You can download it: HERE

I made a mouse macro that clicks 8x8 square, or 64 times with one click. Note that you must make sure you align your 8x8 square in the exact same place when using the Mouse and Keyboard Recorder. First, you start recording the macro (try harvesting or planting), and save it. Afterwards you have your 8x8 master tool. Simply move to the 8x8 square that you need to click on, and start the macro. I do this when I harvest, when I re-plow, and when I re-plant.

If you use virtualization (Parallels, VMWare, VirtualBox), then you can just start the macro and move out of the virtual machine to do something else in parallel (like checking email). I usually check my email while my other VM is doing a bunch of clicks for me at the farm. It really makes farming a lot more pleasant when someone else does the hard work. There are a bunch of mouse macro programs out there. Most are junk (you need to pay to go beyond 2 actions, etc). Mouse and Keyboard Recorder is the first one I found that doesn't have limitations, so far.

On the side note, Zynga is always fine tuning and making the game different, so I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to make it harder to auto-farm. For example they could add in CAPTCHA (squiggly letters), or interrupt with a question, and what not. It's no big deal. Whatever trick they can come up with, there are always counter-tricks to it. In the worst case, one can always introspect the TCP/IP stack between the Flash program and Facebook/Zynga, reverse engineer, and/or decompile & hack the Flash and simply send off packets that farms for you automagically. If there is a way to make something harder, there is always another way to make it easier. Cat-and-mouse, virus/anti-virus, what not. No big deal.
