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.

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.
