I'll 'STRIVES' Until I 'DIE'

FarmVille is the biggest thing on Facebookright now, and everyone is looking to get ahead of their friends andbuild the best farm. Here are some very useful cheats and tips thatwill help you make lots of money and level up fast.

The XP and Coin

To cheat your way to more coins and XP, make sure you have at leastone neighbor. You can only visit your neigbor once a day and recieve 20coins and 5 XP. With this cheat you'll be able to visit your neighboras many times as you want. Make sure to pick a neigbor you have notalready visited today. Click on their icon and select 'Vist/Help Farm',when your neighbors farm loads, don't click anything, just continue toclick the same neighbors icon and selct 'Visit/Help Farm'. You can dothis as many times as you like. Once you decide to accept the offer tohelp out at the farm, you'll get one offer for each time you selected'Visit/Help Farm', making you 20 coins and 5 xp every time. Using thischeat you can get as many XP as you'd like and can level up a lotfaster.

The Instant Plowing

Plowing and harvesting cn be very time consuming, especially beforeyou get the tractor. A lot of time is wasted waiting for your farmer torun around the fields and plow every square by hand. To speed up thisprocess, you need to get two haybales. When you have haybales bought,move your farmer to one of the corner spots on your farm, and place thetwo haybales right next to him or her so she can not move. With yourfarmer trapped in the corner, when you go to plow a field it will beplowed instantly without having to wait for your farmer to move around.This can save you a lot of time and irritation.

The Free Farm Cash trick

A small amount of Farm Cash is awarded when you level up, if youwant more you have to buy it with real money. That is not tempting formost people, but there is a way to get as much Farm Cash as you want,completely free. Basically, to get free Farm Cash you need to takeadvantage of the offers at the bottom of the 'Buy Farm Cash' screen.Most of these offers will send you a lot of spam mail, so make sure youfollow the steps in my Farm Cash for free article.

If you combine these three cheats, you will be flying through thelevels while making more money than any of your friends. You could evenuse all your free Farm Cash on an Acai tree farm, and become theFramVille king on your block

Go to their farm and click onAccept. Click back on 'My Neighbor' page and keep refreshing.

Good Samaritan Ribbon Cheat can be used several ways; Addingneighbors in FarmVille like it was suggested in previous cheat. Thisworks really well because actual neighbors will get you 5 experiencepoints if you help them. Other FarmVille players that are not yourfriends can be helped too, but you will only get 1 experience point outof their farm. Keep refreshing the page, the more neighbors the morechances you have to help and get the ribbon quickly. The experiencepoints in Good Samaritan Ribbon will add up too!

Make sure you add FarmVille players as neighbors. Ask them to addyou if you run out of requests, this is the only way you will get 5experience points instead of 1.

Thischeat is guaranteed and will work better than just visiting neighbors'farms and hope FarmVille asks you to help out.

High Roller Ribbon

High Roller Ribbon Cheat is very easy to use, and I believe this wasthe easiest cheat to apply and easiest ribbon to receive. High RollerRibbon is gained by making FarmVille coins. Use FarmVille neighborcheat to get free gifts. Trees and animals can be harvested and sold.You should sell every tree and animal you receive, but only afterharvesting the first time. This cheat works for several other ribbons.It will get you animal and tree ribbons, as well as High Roller RibbonCheat extremely fast. You will also get this FarmVille ribbon byharvesting crops.

A Pretty Penny Ribbon

A Pretty Penny Ribbon is received by spending FarmVille coins at themarket. The cheat for this ribbon is to buy high priced items. You willneed to sell animals and trees that are gifted in order to get freecoins. Turn around and use this money to buy high priced items such asWind Mills.

Wind Mills cost 100,000 but give 1,000 experience points. Wind Millcheat is the best for FarmVille as it can get you the Architect ribbonquickly, but it can also give you a lot of experience points to get youto higher levels. Save up money from trees and animal gifts sold anduse it to buy as many Wind Mills as possible. Wind Mills are better tobuy than Cottage and Manors because they take up less space. You canplace FarmVille trees around Wind Mills, and use up the space allaround for maximum coin earnings.

The second cheat for A Pretty Penny Ribbon is buying crops. Thehigher your level is, the better and more expensive crops you can buy.Push cows and trees to the outer corners of your farm, and use up allthe space available for FarmVille plots. Do not buy decorations,buildings and other large obstructions if you are on level 20 or less.Save the money for Wind Mills and buy as many crops and plant as manyplots as the farm allows.

Cream of the Crop Ribbon

Cream of the Crop Ribbon is for harvesting FarmVille crops. If youlisten to my earlier cheat about maximizing farm space, you can getthis ribbon quickly by planting as many plots as possible. Upgrade yourFarmVille farm if you have enough coins, this way you will have evenmore room for planting and using cheats.

It does not matter which crop you plant for Cream of the CropRibbon. Players that can only buy strawberries and small level cropscan still get this ribbon. Plant as many strawberries as you can,preferably twice a day. Strawberries are excellent FarmVille crops toplant during the day, when you are awake and can harvest them multipletimes. Pumpkins are good to plant at night, they take 8 hours and youcan harvest in the morning. Cheat by planting strawberries twice a dayand pumpkins right before bed in order to get the Cream of the CropRibbon quickly.

Knock on Wood Ribbon

Knock on Wood is difficult to get because FarmVille requires you toharvest a unique tree. The word unique in FarmVille is confusing. Youonly have 15 tree species that can be harvested, but unique means a newtree. You cannot harvest the same tree twice for Knock on Wood Ribbon.Cheat by receiving a tree as a gift, harvest once and sell immediately.Replace that tree by a new gift, essentially replacing a harvested treewith a new - unique tree. Repeat this cheat until Knock on Wood Ribbonis achieved. Again, use first cheat of adding a lot of neighbors. Thereis no limit on how many FarmVille friends you can have, so if you have300 FarmVille friends you can get 300 gifts a day! This cheat requirespatience as you have to receive a lot of new trees to replace, and getto harvest. Be patient and keep rotating trees, it will pay off with apretty ribbon!

Zoologist Ribbon

Zoologist Ribbon works same as Knock on Wood Ribbon cheat by havingto harvest in order to get a point. Now, with Zoologist ribbon you canharvest the same animal multiple times and each will get you a newpoint. You do not have to rotate FarmVille animals for this cheat. UseFarmVille players to send you a lot of animals as gifts. Never buycows, chickens or sheep from the FarmVille market - it is a waste ofmoney. I receive 50 animals a day from FarmVille friends.

Collect high-paying animals such as Horses, Baby Elephants and UglyDucklings (they turn into Swans). I adopt sheep and cows for the otherribbon, but sell them because of the three animals that harvest formany more coins. You can harvest adopted animals to get the Zoologistribbon.

Architect Ribbon

Architect Ribbon is for buying buildings. This cheat is easy - saveup money to buy Wind Mills, which again get you a lot of experiencepoints. If you do not have 100,000 FarmVille coins then buy Rest Tents.A Rest Tent costs 1000 FarmVille coins. Buy as many of rest tents asyou can to get the FarmVille Architect Ribbon. Sell Rest Tents as soonas blue ribbon is received. It may seem like wasting money, but you canget those coins back quickly through other cheats.

Pack Rat Ribbon

Pack Rat Ribbon is for buying decorations and it honestly causesthem to take up too much space on FarmVille. But this Ribbon isnecessary, you can buy the necessary decorations and sell them afterthe ribbon is awarded. The first Pack Rat Ribbon cheat is to haveFarmVille friends send you decorations - not animals or trees.Currently FarmVille friends can send hay bales, they are decorations soask for as many of these as possible. Next, use a cheat to buy your ownhay bales - a hay bale costs 100 FarmVille coins and gets you 5experience points. Buy only tan hay bale, which is the cheapest. Do notbuy other colors as it is a waste of FarmVille coins.

Animal Shelter Ribbon

Animal Shelter Ribbon is for adopting animals such as brown cows,black sheep and ugly duckling. The only way to adopt the animals is bychecking your Facebook account, and clicking on Adopt link thatFarmVille friends post. This cheat works several ways; your friendshave to post that a FarmVille animal is available for adoption and youhave to click on the link fast. If you see a wall post that is an houror older, it is too late to adopt the animal. Click on the link thoughanyway, as sometimes FarmVille will give you free coins for trying.

Now, this cheat goes back to having a lot of FarmVille friends - soadd them and have a lot of neighbors. Facebook will not always postFarmVille adoption animals on the Home page. Get around with this cheat- click on your Facebook buddies Profile page and check if they haveany FarmVille wall posts. Luckily, FarmVille understands that AnimalShelter Ribbon is difficult to achieve as you can't always be quickenough to adopt, so you do not need many animals in order to achievethis ribbon.

Green Thumb Ribbon

Green Thumb Ribbon is different from Cream of the Crop Ribbon asGreen Thumb requires unique crops to be planted. This cheat is easy,plant several different crops at one time and wait to harvest. Rememberto use the earlier cheat of maximizing the potential of your farm. Donot clutter with decorations and push animals/trees to the outer cornerof the farm. You need 26 unique crops to plant, this should be achievedbefore level 30 with the following seeds; strawberries, eggplant,wheat, soybeans, squash, pumpkin, artichokes, rice, raspberries,cotton, bell peppers, peppers, aloe vera, pineapples, blueberries,watermelon, grapes, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, coffee, corn,sunflowers, cabbage, green tea and blackberries.

Tree Hugger Ribbon Cheat

Tree Hugger Ribbon Cheat can be difficult to achieve, as you have toharvest 16 different tree types. FarmVille friends need to send youdifferent tree gifts. The key to this ribbon is to not buy any trees inthe Market, let friends send them to you. Need an olive tree? Post awall on your Facebook and ask FarmVille friends for it, you'll probablyend up with 20! You can achieve this ribbon through a cheat as long asFarmVille friends are gifting and you're reaping in ribbon benefits bynot spending a coin.

Noah's Ark Ribbon

Noah's Ark Ribbon Cheat is similar to the Tree Hugger Ribbon, itjust uses animals. The cheat for this ribbon is to collect 12 animaltypes without spending a coin, again you will need to use FarmVillegifts from friends and Adopt animals. This ribbon is fairly easy toachieve, as FarmVille has brown cows, brown and white cows, whitesheep, black sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, ugly ducklings, horses,ugly ducklings, swans and baby elephants. Watch out for FarmVillespecials when new animals are introduced. Baby elephants were availablefor a couple of days only as free gifts. Again, add a lot of neighborsand benefit from these special animals. You will wake up in the morningand have 50 gifts waiting for your farm!

Not spoiled, Gifted! Ribbon

Not spoiled, Gifted! Ribbon is again using FarmVille gifts. You willsee that free gifts from friends are key in succeeding in FarmVille.There are many benefits such as selling for coins, achieving ribbonsand harvesting. Also, there is something called an Unlimited Gift Cheatin FarmVille - what this cheat does is allow a single player to sendmultiple gifts to multiple players. FarmVille has a limit of sending 20gifts a day, so use Unlimited Gift Cheat and encourage your friends touse it.

What is an Unlimited Gift Cheat and how to do it? First you have tohave FireFox internet browser instead of Internet Explorer. Click onFree Gifts, then right click on Free Gifts link and choose "Open in newwindow". Do this several times, although depending on your computer itwould be best to open 2-3 windows only. Just in case your computerdecides to freeze up while doing this FarmVille cheat.

Now, in each browser window click on a different gift and click onProceed to send. Now do not confirm anything just yet. Wait until everywindow has loaded friends, and select who you wish to send it to. Ineach window, select different friends - then click on Send - but don'tconfirm just yet either! Wait for every single window to load to "Sendgift pop-up", then quickly click on send in each browser window. Thischeat can require some practice, you can even use "Show windows side byside" in Windows Vista to get the best results.

The key to receiving Not spoiled, Gifted! FarmVille Ribbon is to nottake free gifts out of your gift box! The icon with a present on itwill show a number of how many gifts are inside. Check how close youare to receiving the ribbon, and ask friends to send gifts that you donot have. The box calculates unique gifts, so 10 horses will only countas 1 unique horse. Here is another cheat for this FarmVille Ribbon -adopted animals such as brown cow, black sheep and ugly duckling willcount too! Save them in your gift box until the ribbon is received, andplace them on the farm once you have received the free coins andexperience points reward.
