How to work your order board when it changes around level 30

Hello Farmers,

Around level 30, Marie's order board will change. You not only be able to fill your own orders, but you will be able to fill other co-op members orders and ask them for help as well.

Let's start by reading the board. Your board will change every Thursday(in the USA). In the very top right hand corner is a clock and it will countdown til the time your board will change. The board updates every week, so we(the coop) will have a week to meet our goal. Under the time about half-way down, is where you will see what the goal is. This picture shows you the goal to reach is 600 and we are 341, so we are over have way to reach the goal.

Next look over to the side and you will see 6 order boxes, and two empty spaces at the bottom. The 6 boxes are your actual orders/ You can chose to fill them, or you can click the "ask" button and have others fill your orders. The two empty spots on the bottom, are where orders show up if you claim another co-op members order.  Each order it has a lot of information on it. Each order shows you how much you will make, how many xp points you will get, how many of the item you have in your barn, and how many you will need to complete the order. Example: The first order, Loaded Baked Potato, is asking for 14 loaded baked potatoes, and it says you have 27 of them in your barn. You will get $93,800.00 and 271 XP. If you are going to fill the order yourself, you just click the "sell" button.  If you look at the Fish & Chips order, it shows you do not have enough to fill the order. You can ask for someone to give you the 4 Fish & Chips you need to complete the order or you can hit the "ask" button and let someone else to fill the order.

Every co-op member that is over the level 30 and has this board can help the co-op group reach group goal. You can only fill up to 60 orders to get group credit. We encourage you to help others and fill their orders, so we all get ahead. What do you get if we reach group goal, you get extra timber to upgrade all your work stations, and you get an extra farm hand to help you on your farm all week. Also keep in mind, that you get all the $$$ and XP for filling the orders.

One little tricky thing, is if two members have both reached 60 orders processed in the week, any orders after that will not count towards goal, so there is no need to keep processing them, it is better to let someone else process them, so we get points towards goal. If you have reached 60 but the other person has not, you can still fill the order it will count, til they reach 60 as well. How do you know where they are in points?? You would need to go to the co-op board sign and read it. It is in front of the barn next to the mailbox. Our co-op board sign has a pig on it. Next post will talk about the co-op board sign.

I hope this helps you understand the order board better after it changes. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us and we will explain. 
Thanks again, for joining our co-op.

SPEED SEEDS, What they do and how do I get them?

Hello Farmers,

Today, I am going to tell you about Speed Seeds. I will tell you what they do, how to get them.


WHAT THEY DO:
Speed seeds, speed up your crops and your farm animals. Speed seeds are GREAT to use on a lemon tree, which normally takes 10 hours to harvest, you can harvest it instantly. You can use speed seeds on your farm animals too, so you don't have to wait for them to be ready. They can really help with your game.

HOW DO YOU GET THEM:
There are two ways to get speed seed, they can be a gift you receive from the game for accomplishing certain tasks and events, or you get them from your Facebook friends. It is nice to win speed seed in the game, but if you want to get them all the time, you need to get them from your Facebook friends.

Your friends just needs to be playing the game, they do not need to be in your Co-op to be able to send and receive seeds. It is nice to be Facebook friends with your Co-op members.

Once you are friends with them on Facebook, you just go to the mailbox on your farm, in front of your barn and click on it. Once you click on the mailbox, you simply find your friends name and send them seeds When they receive the seeds they will send seeds back and then you will have speed seeds.

Hope that helps you to get speed seeds for your farm. If you want to be friends with Jo or myself on Facebook, please just send us your Facebook name to our e-mail here and we will become your friend and send you speed seeds.

Happy Farming,

What is cloning and Why do I want to clone?

Hello Farmers,

This blog is to help all of us to be better farmers and make the most of your game. We  recently had someone asked "What is cloning?" Why do I want to clone?" 

1. Cloning is basically where you take an item, and copy it with others. We all always need quartz and it is very hard to get and takes a lot of time to get it. If you were to have some friends help you to clone an item, you can have it in no time. That is cloning in the nutshell, where one person has an item and with a minimum of 2 other Co-op friends you can clone(duplicate or copy) the item and all have the same item.

          2. You want to clone, so you can get items faster and easier.  Recently, I did a clone with
           Amber and Scoop,from our Co-op, for quartz. We started with 6 quartz, and within a few
           minutes we each had over 30 quartz a piece. You can do this with any item from the
          game, imagine needing 4 bottles of champagne which each take 8 hours(that would take
          32 hours). If you were to clone you could have those same bottles in a few minutes. Just
          think of what you could do in your game if you knew how to clone.

Farmers,
       Jo and I just want you to know we are here for you, if you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail us here and we will answer as soon as we can. Thanks for playing FV2 Country Escape, and if you are not in our Co-op, hope you join.

Happy Farming,

Learn How to Clone

Hello All,

Cloning is very easy but hard to explain, best way to learn to clone is watch a few times, after you read this, and even watch a video or two on YouTube. Most people will tell you that they watched a few YouTube videos.

So lets start with basics:

1. You need a min. of 3 people to clone.

2. If someone is cloning and you are not involved in cloning, please do not ask for other things, no chat til the clone is done.

3. If you are cloning, then focus on the clone, do not farm your farm, or sell other items, keep in mind all our time is precious, so do not waste others time, by doing other tasks on your farm while you are cloning.

Before you start to clone:

1. Make sure you have enough space in your barn, it is perfectly acceptable to ask the group to wait a few minutes so you can sell your stuff to make room in your barn.

2. Make sure you have enough money to clone, money goes fast, if you do not have enough dollars ask others to buy your marked up items, most are willing to do and help you build up your cash $$$..

3. If a clone is in process, please ask the leader if you can join, most likey the leader will, but this also lets them know another person is there and wait for you to catch up.

Actually Cloning:

Cloning is basically three steps:

1. Posting items up for the clone

2. Buying the items from the clone.

3. Reposing items we bought, so we can continue the clone

To Start a clone... 

I will use an example here quartz.

STEP ONE: Basically, we all are just posting the item we are cloning and letting others know how many and who all is in the clone.

When posting quartz, put it up to sell and make sure you check the blue box "Co-op Exclusive", then you will tell others in chat how many quartz you posted.

   Example, I am posting 2 quartz and 3 people are cloning

On Chat Board you well see me write:  2 up  (which means I posted 2 quartz)

    then the next person who put 3 up will write 3 up (which means they posted 3 quartz)

    the last person has no quartz, but we need to know that, so they will write 0 up (they have no quartz, but we know they are in the clone cause they wrote            something.

STEP TWO: We will be buying the items. DO NOT BUY UNTIL YOU SEE THE LEADER OF THE CLONE SAY BNR OR BNK (this step is very important).

Above your chat tab, you will see another tab, that has two people on it, after everyone who is cloning tells you how many items they have posted you will go and look at the items and count them and report back to the group what you see.

  <<quick side note, do not do anything but look at these two tabs, the chat one and the two people one, if you refresh or work on your game you may not be able to get the items>> <<once you look at them and report back you can NOT refresh, if you do, you will lose the items>>

   Example, Remember I posted 2 quartz, but I can not see my quartz, but I see player two has posted 3 and player two has posted zero

   so I will write on the chat board:  c 3 (because I see 3 quartz, from player 2 and the 3rd person posted 0 quartz).

   Player two will write: c 2 (because they see that I posted only 2 quartz and the 3rd person posted 0 quartz).

   Player three will write: c 5 (because they see what I posted and player two and the total is 5 quartz)

Once all that is done and the leader of the Clone, either say BNR or BNK (only then do you go back and buy the quartz)

   BNR means will will continue the cloning and you will repost all the quartz you can (as long as you can check the blue box "Co-op Exclusive"

   the R stands for Repost the item.

   BNK means the cloning is done and you will keep what you have. The K stands for Keep.

I hope that explains how to clone, if you have any other questions feel free to e-mail back, and either myself or Jo will try to explain cloning better..

Final Note:.. Please don't be scared to ask questions or mess up, we all have... I was very bad at cloning when I started. We all have been in your shoes, and we all have to learn sometime, just let us know what happened and we can fix it... Jo and I started this Co-op cause we love to play and love to chat to new and exciting people, we hope you stick with us and lets all work together and make this the best Co-op on the game.

thanks,

Hey Deb
