There are also some other pens including a horse stable and a nursery.

E – Enhance

 

An enhance is actually a good thing. It means either new content has been added to the game or something has been fixed.

F – Features

 

These include countdowns, farm stands and votes. For our guide to the various Farmville features  click here.

G – Gift Box

 

 

The gift box has 2 main limits. It can hold a maximum of 1000 unique items. This is shown at the top.

 

 

You can also have no more than 9999 of any one item. We at the Dirt Farmer also recommend keeping the consumable section at no more than 8 pages. If you go over these limits you risk losing items from in it.

 

H - Home Farm

 

Where it all began back on 19th June 2009.

 

I - In Game Currency

 

There are 2 main currency’s in Farmville.

    

Coins	Farm Cash

 

There are  some other currency’s too.

     

Coconuts	Jade Coins	Bob’s Berries	Farmer’s Square Coins

 

J – Jail
 

When Farmville and Facebook don’t get on. Sometimes posting lots of Farmville links while helping your friends can trigger Facebooks spam filters. This usually means you have to enter security code checks but can lead to Facebook posting bans. To try and avoid this happening try and mix up the items you are posting so not just all trees for example and also slow down when posting.

K – Kaboom
 

Yep sometimes stuff breaks. A widespread issue we have to wait for fix but normally lots of game issues can be solved by yourself by following the steps in our  emergency repair kit.

L – Land Expansions

 

Farms from Home to Toy Town were a square and flat format and we opened land by either spending coins or for the larger sizes farm cash. You can not skip a size when expanding they have to be done in order.

 

 

Farms from Avalon to present use a multi level tile format. You can either earn the tile by completing tasks or some just have a set farm cash price. You can though pick which tiles you want to pay for.

M – Music

 

Love them or hate them each farm has it’s own background theme music. To hear them click here.

(Coming Soon)

 

We also have the amazing Barry West’s Farmville Parody’s. To hear them click here.

 

N - New Farms

 

These come roughly every 8 weeks but they didn’t used to. We can pay for a week of early access or just wait for general access for free. For full list of farms by release date click here.

O – Orchards and Groves

 

These are the 2 places where we put all the trees in the game. If set up correctly you can achieve 900% mastery on a single orchard.

 

 

For more information on how to do this click here.

P – Plowing and Planting Crops

 

The basics of the game and how we all began.  From levelling up to finishing quests to mastery and beating the farm this is a very important part of the game.

Q – Quests

 

We have 3 types of quests:
 

New Farm – These are released every Monday for the latest farm, have 6 stages and last 1 week.
 

General Farm –  These are released every Thursday and can be done on any farm. They have 9 stages and last 2 weeks.
 

Month Long –  These usually are released towards the end of the farm so just as we get a new one. They have to be done on the farm they are for and last a month.

R – Royal Loyalty Club vs VIP

 

These are not the same.

S – Statues, Trophies and Unwither Rings

 

The following statues can be placed on any farm:

     

Double Baby Statue	Double Bushel Statue	Double Coconut Statue
Double Coin Statue	Double Jade Statue	Double Mastery Statue
Double Seedling Statue	Double XP Statue	Double ZP Statue

 

 For our guide to them click here.

The following statues, trophies and unwither rings are released with each new farm and must be placed on that farm.

     

Double Points Statue	Beat Trophy	Unwither Ring

 

 

The beat trophy is a reward for beating the farm. This involves completing various tasks on that specific farm. You also get the shipping licence when you beat the farm but you can choose to pay for it instead. The shipping license lets you move non locked items between the farms you have licenses for.

T - Terrains   

   

Land	Water	Zen
All Farms	Hawaii, Jade Treasure Tides and Phantom Valley Onwards	Story of Sakura
Turtle	Dream	Icy
Legend of Tengguan	Isle of Dreams	Once Upon A Winter

U – Useless Bushels

 

These are bushels not used for crafting. As we have market stall capacity’s it is helpful to know what these are so you can get rid of them and they don’t take up much needed stall space.

V – Vehicles

 

There are 7  types of vehicle. All of which get a new variety to go with the new farms theme. 

 

Biplane	Combine	Harvester
Orchard Harvester	Seeder	Tractor
	Plot Remover ( Treasure Tides Onwards)

 

 

We also have all farm water vehicles available for coins.

 

Harvester	Seeder	Tractor	Plot Remover

 

W - Whoa Farmer

 

This happens if you are doing things to fast which causes the game to go out of sync or try and place items on the wrong farm if locked.

X – XP and Level Up

 

All our actions in the game from planting, harvesting, completing quests and buying items give us xp. This helps us level up and advance in the game.

 

Y – Yarn Barn

 

 

The yarn barn along with the  dairy barn, apothecary and sweet shop are the original self contained crafting buildings. Now we receive a new version with every single new farm we get.

Z – Zynga

 

The makers of the game.
