The Guide To Finding Farmville Neighbors In A Pinch

By Jeff Farmer


Farmville is meant to be a social experience. You're able to add your friends as neighbors in the game, which makes them able to help you out on your farm.

Maybe you're a lone wolf. There are a lot of games in which playing by yourself creates a fun and rewarding experience, but Farmville is not one of them. So, if you're a lone wolf, Farmville might not be the game for you.

Yet maybe you are a community-oriented person. In this case, Farmville caters directly to you. Having neighbors in the game will not only create a more enriching playing experience, but it will give you the option to earn easy coins, as well.

Farmville allows you to visit your neighbors' farms. When you do so, you can perform up to five actions once a day to help them out, including fertilizing their crops, plowing their fields, and harvesting their trees or animals. In other words, you could perform two harvests, plow two plots, and fertilize one plot, or you could fertilize four plots and plow one (or really any other combination).

Helping out is worthwhile, too -- you'll get 10 coins and one XP for every plot to which you apply fertilizer. This has the potential to earn you a lot of coins and XP! How does 2,500 coins and 250 XP sound? That's what you'll get if you take helping your neighbors to the max. In Farmville, it's possible to apply fertilizer to five plots for one neighbor, and you can do the same thing for up to 50 neighbors. The math adds up.

So now you can probably see the benefits of having neighbors. But how do you get them? The first way to get neighbors is also the easiest way -- just go to the "My Neighbors" tab when you're playing the game. From this tab, you can see a list of all your Facebook friends that play Farmville, and there's a button for each person that allows you to send them a neighbor request. Just press it! Chances are they'll be happy to be your neighbor.

The next way to increase your neighbor count in the game is to visit the official Farmville forums. It contains a section called "Finding Neighbors" that's meant for exactly what its name says. If you go there, you'll see plenty of people hoping to get more neighbors. Add them as friends on Facebook and then as neighbors in the game, and you'll quickly raise your neighbor count.

One other way to increase your number of neighbors is by searching for and going to the Farmville groups that Facebook has. Lots of people on these groups are looking for neighbors, so once you find them, simply add them as a friend on Facebook and then as a neighbor in Farmville. On top of that, if you join the group, you can create the potential of other people adding YOU by leaving "Add Me" as a comment on the group's wall.

The final method to obtain more neighbors is to personally message them. Look at your Facebook friends and think about which ones might play Farmville. Once you do that, send private messages to them with personally-written invitations to begin playing Farmville with you as your neighbor. This is not the speediest way to get neighbors in Farmville, but it still might be the top way because any neighbors you get this way are most likely your friends already, and playing with them might be more fun.

You can try any of these methods or even all of them, and you should have plenty of neighbors pretty quickly. Once you do, you can start earning more coins and experience points by helping them out on their farms once a day each. And it's worth it -- you can earn up to 2,500 coins and 250 experience points!
