Farm Town Tips and Tricks Part 2

Tired of plowing, planting and harvesting? Another tip I'd like to share in Farm Town is when you have around 30,000 to 100,000 coins to spare, purchase any of the following at the Store:

Small House - 70,000 coins
Silo - 30,000 coins
Windmill - 40,000 coins
Barn - 60,000 coins
Wood Shed - 30,000 coins

Purchase and sell them again. Though selling these items won't bring back the coins you've spent on buying them, you'll get lots of experience points a hundred or more so of experience points. Selling them also helps increase planting options since after you've purchased them, it won't be of any use to you in the future in terms of gaining experience points. If you're only thinking of leveling up, try doing this method. Of course a lot of hiring charms in the Market will also help you out.

Also, if you don't have that much money to spare, play around and buy some stuff on Fences and Paths. Buying some items here would let you gain 5 or more experience points. You earn additional 2 more experience points rather than plowing and planting seeds of Grapes though.

Farm Town Tips and Tricks

Another app and another game from Facebook. This game is quite simple - plow, plant then harvest. As an owner of the farm, you are tasked to manage the farm and visit other farmer's towns as well too. But leveling up isn't as easy here unlike Pet Society. Here are a few things you might get interested to in doing if you want to level up as quickly as possible here:

1. For starters, the best option you have of earning money and plowing all the way is either through harvesting your friends' plantation or be lucky enough to get someone to hire you at the Market Place. In this way, you will be able to increase your capital and immediately be able to plow a lot in your own field.

2. Let others harvest your crops. No one around online in your neighbourhood? Don't get tempted to harvest your own crops. While it is true that you will earn money from this, money earned from others harvesting your crops leads you to 25% more profit than yourself harvesting your crops alone. Even when your crops are about to go to waste, there are other options to harvest this and it is by staying in the Market Place, the Inn or the Realtor's Office and hiring other farmers there.

3. Plow and plant as much your farm can accommodate as possible. If you want to quickly gain experience points as much as possible, think of designing your farm later. You need as much space to plow as possible in your lot. And adding fences, animals, barns, ponds, etc occupy what is supposed to be planted by crops won't let you earn profit faster.

4. Plant grapes seeds often if you are always online. Grapes earns you quite a small profit, tedious enough because you'll have to harvest it after just 4 hours of planting and has higher risks of going into waste. However, if you want to gain experience immediately and you're always on the PC, get those grapes planted quite often. I'd recommend you usually do this during weekends if you have lots of time to spend to online.

5. Visit the neighbourhood everyday. Just like in Pet Society, you earn 6 experience points per first visit of the day at your neighbour's farm. If you have friends whom you haven't added in the neighbourhood yet, just wait and a message will be sent to you informing that you'll have a job at their farm waiting for you. In this way, you're still gaining experience points even if your friend has not yet accepted you as his neighbour in the game.

6. Buy lot upgrade as quickly as possible. Lots are quite expensive and it gets even more expensive once you level up. I suggest you buy a lot upgrade whenever possible immediately. Profit gained from planting crops with the extra tiles you have available to plow to won't let you earn the money spent on buying the lot immediately but it will definitely have a lot of benefits as time goes buy. Besides, you'll be able to receive around 250+ experience points just for the sake of buying it.

Well, I guess that's about it. In the post "stacking" era, these are ways you can level up faster at Farm Town. Eventhough stacking, which is definitely a bug in the game's beta version, has been fixed and quite exploited by seasoned farm town players, there are definitely other ways to level up faster and more appropriate way. Just like the addition of grapes and its 4-hour harvest-ready crops. Hope you find this helpful and have fun harvesting!

Axife Mouse Recorder on Pet Society

Axife Mouse Recorder on Pet Society

On the previous blog, I mentioned tips and tricks on how to level up in Pet Society the old fashioned honest to goodness way. In this article, we will be featuring a technique on how to "automate" leveling up using the Visit and Hug Technique I mentioned in the previous article. This was courtesy of the blog I found upon researching for bot techniques in Pet Society.

Download the demo version of Axife Mouse Recorder here. Then, install Axife and open your Facebook/ MySpace account. Record the Visit and Hug Technique with moderate delays as possible then stop recording. Repeat the process by selecting the two-pet iteration and then click the Options icon. On the Playback Tab, on the Number of repeats check the Repeat forever button then press Ok.

Play the iteration and verify if it actually does what it is supposed to do. Voila! It actually works!

Drawbacks:
1. Do take note though that you must leave your computer as is with no interruptions whatsoever in the coordinates of the mouse cursor.

2. While it actually works, high level pets will mean that the 5-paw-point-2-coin technique will take you a longer time to
leave the computer behind doing the automation.

3. Take note of the food and hygiene bars. While Axife is actually doing the technique for you, your pet also is exhausted at the process. You need to feed and clean him up time and time again. Failure to do so will consequently slow your pet making your automation process left behind in the delay you have already set in the recorded process.

4. Level up problem. While you have left your computer behind, chances are there will come a time that you have reached the maximum paw points to level up. An additional message box will appear as a part of this process and this is not recorded in your original automation. To counter this, you have to perform a double click once your pet has successfully "hugged" the other pet purposely as though you are anticipating the level up message box to pop up.

There you go! Have fun leveling up!

Pet Society Tips and Tricks

Pet Society Tips and Tricks

While the Facebook fad that is Playfish's Pet Society is being outsourced by MySpace now, a lot of people are still getting addicted to this Sims-like, Nintendog-like online flash game.

Here are a few tips and tricks I would like to share with you based on experience on the fastest ways on how to level up in the Pet Society with no cheats whatsoever. I must admit that these tips and tricks can be found on a lot of Pet Society fan sites as well but heck, I did discover these things myself.

1. Visit all friends Technique - The more friends with pets you have, the more you garner experience points. There are 5 paw points + 20 coins for your first visit of the day. Unconciously, while browsing thru your friends' pets, you are leveling up and earning money. Do keep in mind that you must visit all your friends' pets regularly to earn these "default" paw points and coins.

2. The Visit and Hug Technique - While at the lowest levels, this technique should do the trick for you. After visiting all the pets around the neighborhood, select the lowest two pets in your friends list. Visit then hug the first one. And then visit the second to the lowest pet. Repeat this technique and you'll gain paw points faster. You must be wondering why you should be picking the last two pets in your list. This is mainly because most of the lowest level pets don't have furnitures, additional clothing, designs in their rooms. This avoids causing lag in the game which also adds to the boredom you're experiencing when the repetitive tasks are at hand. With the default visit and hug technique, you'll garner 5 paw points in a jiffy.

3. Visit and Feed Apples Technique - Before your first visit of all your friends' pets, buy as much apples as you want to at the Food Shop. Why apples? It is the cheapeast food you could possibly feed them and your pet as well. You can also choose other five-coin foods as well such as corn too if you want to. Then on your first visit, take note of those pets with less than full heart bars. Feed them apples even if they only have the slightest difference in their heart bars. You gain an additional 17 paw points and an additional 2 coins after feeding them. The additional 2 coins will your consolation as every feed of apple is actually costing you only 3 coins per feed of pets. After visiting all your friends' pets, go home and save your game status. Reconnect to Pet Society and then repeat the process again. The pets whom you've feeded apples to will have their heart bars reset back to their initial state before you came and fed them apples in your previous visit. I recommend doing this for Level 15 and up.

4. Visit and Clean Technique - This is just almost the same as the previous technique, however, you're just inspecting their hygiene bars. I don't particularly know the exact paw points you're getting for the hygiene bars but randomly you'll be having 6, 13 or 20+ paw points with the addition of 2 coins per satisfaction the pet is having from your cleaning.

5. Give a Gift and Send Back Technique - This technique was actually a friend's advice. If you have saved tons of money, buy something expensive enough. Buying expensive items already earns you huge paw points. However, giving them as gifts to your close friends whom you are leaving a message behind stating you want them back in return they'll be having huge paw points as well by sending them back as a gift is a faster way of leveling up. I have experienced giving gifts with a reward of 47 paw points. The only drawback here is how fast your friends will send these gifts back and how fast the time spent for sending these gifts will happen.

6. Open multiple accounts simultaneously Technique - Have you created another account just for the sake of Pet Society? Or do you have friends which have their log-in credentials saved in your computer? You can open them simultaneously by opening different browsers at the same time in your computer. You can opt to install other browsers as well like Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera if you want to. Do the Give a Gift and Send Back technique like madness once get this going. One disclaimer though, do take note that you are only purposely logging-in other accounts for the purpose of leveling up in Pet Society.

7. Low Food and Hygiene Bars Pact Technique - So most of the previously mentioned techniques have gotten you to the leveling all by yourself. Now, it's time to make an agreement with your friends to leave their food (heart) bars and hygiene bars as low as possible before leaving the game. In this way, you are helping yourselves level up because there are more pets to feed thus further gaining paw points for yourself. Do the Visit and Feed Technique like crazy with Give a Gift and Send Back technique as a combination to your buddies.

Well I guess that's about it. If ever I'll be getting addicted to Pet Society again and I'll discover techniques by myself or my colleagues as well, I'll be keeping you posted. Have fun playing!
