New Ribbon Update

Flower Power:
This may have come out before today but there is a new ribbon to try and achieve. It's called Flower Power (hence the title) and, well, you harvest/plant flowers. If you need to know any more information on it; it's pretty self explanitory. Feel free to ask me on Facebook.

For information on profits of the flowers check out the post 2 before this one.

A Closer Look at Fertilizing

Crop Whisperer:
Fertilizing is just like any other harvesting, plowing, and etc. When you get the option of helping out neighbors, you can also fertilize their farm. There should be a pop up for helping them and then, once you close out of that, you can fertilize 5 plots of their crops. But! You can only fertilize crops in the process of a growing; meaning no dead rops or fully developed crops, and certainly not just plowed land.

But how? Well, if you look at a neighbor's farm after you have closed out of the pop up for helping them out, and they meet the criteria of fertilization abilities, then there should be an icon at the bottom left of the page within the FarmVille game. Simple enough?

There are no limitations on how many crops you can fertilize in one day. You cannot fertilize your own crops. You cannot fertilize the same neighbor's farm twice in one day. You can only do 5 or less of a neighbor's farm.

When you fertilize, it will have the same process of planting crops with the whole process bar telling you the percentage of how much it is finished. After you have fertilized a plot, they become all sparkly.

But wait! What does fertilizing do besides make it sparkly? Well, little kid, it makes them grow, atleast, twice as big and it rewards the neighbor extra experience points when harvested.

If you're visual check this out:
This guide is a little poor quality but you will get the idea and knowledge. Other youtube videos that had better image quiality failed to explain the entire process. Enjoy.

Update 2.0 on 10-23-09

FarmVille Fertilizer:

Now everyone (not just randomly selected users) can get their gritty, dirty, seedy hands on special fertilizer! You can fertilize 5 plots per person, but not your own. However, you can NOT fertilize dead crops nor fully grown crops. When you fertilize a neighbor's farm you can also help them out for clearing things and whatnot. So what that means, is that you can go towards getting the Crop Whisperer Ribbon AND the Good Samaritan Ribbon. Isn't that neat?

This is the symbol you should see at

the bottom left-hand corner of viewing

a neighbor's farm.

Ghost Chili:

Now (for a limited time, I'm asusming) you can grow Ghost Chili! You make 41 profit within 6 hours. What better way to grow new crops than with neighbors making them BIG?

Turtles? Where?:
How could we forget the adorable new turtles wandering about? Just like any lost ow, sheep, or duckling, you can adopt a turtle!

Update 10-23-09

Cows and machines:



This morning we were able to buy a dairy farm. They hold 20 cows at a time and allow you to harvest 20 at a time. You can buy one with 20 cash or, even better, 10,000 coins. They are available in the market. (See Figure 1 and Figure 2.)

More Decorations Too:

Aswell as dairy farms there's a scaredycrow for 22 cash and some spooky bats for 7,800 coins (Figure 3). When you purchase any one of these, you will have the option to post them in your friend's newsfeed.

When you buy the Spooky Bats, however, the tiny bats hover and fly around the gravestone just like the haunted house.

Speaking of gravstones, did you know that you can now send them as gifts? (Figure 4).

More Seeds?:

Yes! Finally! We can plant flowers (besides sunflowers) such as red tulips (which take only one day; just like the sunflowers while the others take 2 days to harvest. Maybe even more.) daffodils, pink roses, lilies that are white, and pretty lavendar. Why don't we all stop to plant and smell the roses? (See Figure 5.)

Here's the Harvesting Info:

Look at what's highlighted in red. That's the most important out of all of this jibber jabber.

Daffodils: You can plant them any time of the day and not worry about getting there at an exact hour beause you an wait as long as 4 days! They make a profit of 30 coins per day. (135-(60+15)=60/2 -> 30 coins per day)

Red Tulips: A better profit than daffodils. (159-(75+15)= 69 coins in one day.)

Pink Roses: (254-(120+15)=119/2 -> 59.5 coins per day.)

Sunflowers: Check previous post on harvesting.

Lavendar: (384-(160+15)=209/2 -> 104.5 coins per day.)

Lilies: (369-(195+15)=159 per day.)

New Hay Bales

Giftables
Today, October 21st, we are able to gift jet black hay bales, violet haybales, and orange haybales. They look awfully similar to Halloween colors, no? Hmm...

Circled in red are the new hay bales to gift.

Mystery Boxes

What could it be?
As of this morning, fellow farmers could get their hands on a new item, known as the Mystery Box. Clearly, it is unknown what you get out of it but I got a hold of two videos from youtube that demonstrates two different users receiving two different items; a golden garden gnome and a cool lounge chair.

Each box costs 15 cash. Some say that it is not worth it yet others beg to differ. What will your opinion be?

When opened they go into a pretty blue magical puff of smoke and whabam! Your item will be able to declare itself upon your Facebook friend's news feed. (Again, shown in the videos below)

I would have had more infortmation on it and more pictures only I think Matthew opened mine up without my knowledge when he harvested my crops for me. Little tworp. (Is that how you spell it?)

What others got in their box:
