FarmVille Cheats

Seeing the eternal endless questions about co-op farming, I thought I’d make a guide for linking references. Please remember before bashing the 847th person to ask a question: Many people here are “New to the Forums” and possibly new to a discussion board. Please just send them here for the all-in-one guide to Co-Op Farming

BEFORE RESPONDING WITH QUESTIONS: READ THE WHOLE GUIDE, ESPECIALLY THE FAQ SECTION

Co-op farming is a process of working with neighbors and friends to collectively harvest a large number of a crop in a limited amount of time. This is meant for you and at least 2 friends (preferably more) to complete together. It is another social interaction aspect of the game.

Co-op farming is unlocked at level 20. Once you reach that level, the red-shovel will move under the multi-tool button, and a new button will appear in its place.

     

You can click this to get a brief tutorial. Once you click okay, you will not get the tutorial again. When you click the button again, you will get a screen showing your potential jobs.

this picture shows your options for starting a co-op. You will also see co-ops in progress that you can join from your friends. Simply click the “Join” button to join a co-op in progress, or click “Start” to start one of your own.

After you join or start a co-op, you will receive a notification to invite your friends to the co-op. This will publish an item to your wall. Your friends will have to go through the above process before they join the co-op. Once you begin/start a co-op, all you need to do is plant AND harvest a crop (planting before joining/starting a co-op will not count).

As you plant and harvest, you will see a progress bar.

 

This will fill up as you seed/harvest up to the total needed. (it will pop-up above the neighbor bar) The bar that counts is the harvest bar. You will see no change in the “percentage complete” until the co-op is harvesting. You can check your progress at any time by clicking the co-op button during the co-op

 

 Upon completing the required number of harvests, you will be awarded a medal. In the top right of the above picture, you will see how long you have to finish your co-op within each medal bracket. As a general rule, you have the exact time of 2 harvests for gold, 3 for silver, and 4 for bronze.

If you complete the co-op harvesting before the bronze time expires, you have successfully completed the co-op. If you do not meet the correct harvest total, you will fail and need to start again.

Beating the co-op within the Gold Timeframe will earn you a special prize.

You must stay in the co-op until it is completed to receive the award. You are allowed to plant other crops if you are just waiting on others to harvest, but remember that you cannot join another co-op until this one is completed.

When finishing, one person will be labeled the MVP. This person is the one who has harvested the most of the needed crop. There is no benefit to this except one of the below ribbons.

There are 3 ribbons for completing co-ops:
