you get xp points for harvesting "mastered" crops, unlike harvesting "normal" (unfertilized) crops which gives you no xp

Country Life update - they've just added 2 new trees.

And I'm on level 18

simpson · 25/11/2009 09:49

should get 2 mastery sign today

alwayslookingforanswers · 25/11/2009 09:53

2 - wow well done - how many will that be then in total?

simpson · 25/11/2009 10:04

have got pumpkin one already

squash ready around 2ish so should get that one

and need to plant 20 strawberries then have that one..

So 3 in total and hoping to have a 4th for rice in a couple of days

alwayslookingforanswers · 25/11/2009 11:12

nice one - I'll have my 5th by the end of this week

simpson · 25/11/2009 11:37

after I have 4 it will be a long time before i get another as only one one star for most of the other things. Grrrr

alwayslookingforanswers · 25/11/2009 11:40

I'm trying to decide whther to hammer some of the 2 day flowers once the sunflowers are finished (you don't need as many of the longer crops to get the mastery signs as the shorter crops) and work towards my last flower ribbon..........or whether to hit some of the shorter crops hard

simpson · 25/11/2009 12:06

I have been hitting short crops hard lately

But may swap over and go for longer ones too

Just about to level up on CL

alwayslookingforanswers · 25/11/2009 12:20

yeah I'm dithering - got 24hrs to decide - only need to plant 1/2 a field of sunflowers tomorrow to finish off the Sunflower mastery - don't think there are any other 1 day flowers are their - just the Lilies and Sunflowers.

Problem is with 2 day crops is that you're not earning xp points for 2 days at a time.........

or perhaps I could split my field in 2 and do 1/2 short crops and 1/2 2 day flowers

I'm about 1/2 to level 20 on CL

sweetkitty · 25/11/2009 14:02

Still on strawberries and rice here with some pineapples and soyabeans as I got bored.

Have 18 neighbours have loads of pending requests but no takers need 2 more for expansion so if anyone wants a nice neighbour please add me e-mail further down

simpson · 25/11/2009 15:39

ALFA - thats exactly why I have very little stars on 2 day crops

Off to go collect my signs

simpson · 25/11/2009 15:44

just got red ribbon for king of compost

alwayslookingforanswers · 25/11/2009 15:46

oh phew - glad it's not just me that thinks that way

think I'll go for a 50/50 split - so hammer 220+ fields of short crops, and the other half on the 2 day ones........

simpson · 25/11/2009 15:50

I tend to have a few rows doing pink roses which are 2 days but seem to have been doing them forever

Mastery signs received

Now onto blueberries combined with rice

cookinmama · 25/11/2009 16:28

Hi my name is cookinmama and I am a farmville addict too.

Have just noticed that there are additional gifts that you can give if you access farmville via www.farmville.com rather than going in through facebook. There is a barrell of grapes, wooden bench and a few more. I am also hoping that this will mean that I can access it at work because facebook is blocked

alwayslookingforanswers · 25/11/2009 17:22

woohoo - will make level 20 on CL later this evening and am now 1/2 towards buying the 2nd expansion

Niecie · 25/11/2009 17:48

Oh for goodness sake!!!!!

I spent about 25 minutes harvesting and planting on FV, everything looking tidy for the first time since I got my expansion and rearranged my fields. Planned everything beautifully. Was going to get more stars and everything.

Raspberries due for harvesting now so I went back to get them before they withered again and ALL my hard work has gone. The farm looks like it did 2.5 hours ago before I started!!! Bum, Bum, Bum.

I was having trouble collecting my gifts - kept freezing on me and I had to reload the page but I wasn't actually FV then.

Am cheese off now.

simpson · 25/11/2009 18:17

No where near levelling up on CL but only £10K off next expansion.

I want it now!!

Neiceie - how annoying!! Have to say FV keep throwing me out today saying farm enhancing or something

Took me forever to do anything....

alwayslookingforanswers · 25/11/2009 18:27

10k off the 75k expansion ????

RoseBlossoms · 25/11/2009 18:31

Why oh Why oh Why does CW buzz rating drop everytime i buy a new stove/counter?!! I have all this food and a not busy cafe as rating has dropped?!! I have kept full food available nothing has spoilt. Pah! yesterday afternoon it was 90+ now is 32.5.

boo hoo

fv is fecking me off tonight was well as is sooooo slow!

Anyone been to farmville.com? I had a nosey but the game ran v.slow there, maybe thats why its running slow on facebook because of new website?

Niecie · 25/11/2009 18:48

Yes, I have had that too - the enhancement thing. It doesn't usually result in losing all the work I have done though. Mind you it doesn't enhance either!

I have done it all again now. Hope I don't come back in 2 hours and find it has disappeared again.

I also have £10k until my next CL expansion. I need it, I have machines I don't have room for and I want a flour mill and I can't have one of those either. Difficult to get the balance between machines and animals and crops.

alwayslookingforanswers · 25/11/2009 18:50

omg how are you both nearly on 75k???

mumof2000 · 25/11/2009 19:05

im saving so i can expand my farm ..taking ages

simpson · 25/11/2009 19:54

ALFA - not that expansion

I am way behind you how can I possibly have £75K

Roseblossoms - CW a bit of a mystery to me Had buzz of 105 then got new stove and it dropped to 33

Had to totally change cafe round and it seems to have crept back up again although I keep running out of food as I forget to close cafe at night

Am hoping to level up on Island Paradise this eve

RoseBlossoms · 25/11/2009 20:18

hmm i'm getting fed up now with it! may sack it off! at least its not just my crappy cafe!
