Farmville Stars and Crop Mastery

87

By Will Apse

The Farmville makers have been introducing new game elements at a steady rate since the launch. One of the biggest changes is the introduction of Farmville crop mastery and the 3 stars system.It adds even more interest to an already great game.

Crop mastery is not something that will make you rich but it does give you rewards in XP’s (experience points) and coins. You also get a sign saying that you have achieved mastery for the particular crop. Bragging rights are always worth something. I, for one, am very proud of my neat row of crop mastery signs- even if that row is pretty short right now.

When Does Crop Mastery Kick in and How do I get it?

Once you reach level ten you can sign up for crop mastery (free). Now, when you go to the market you will see stars under the crops.

Farmville Tips and Tricks

This is my page offering beginners the best tips for speeding through the Farmville levels, ways to make best use of ribbons and advice on how to get neighbors-

Farmville Tips and Tricks

How Do I Earn Stars?

You earn one crop mastery point for each plot harvested of the crop concerned. Each crop has a different number of points that you need to accumulate before you get the different stars. The slower growing crops generally need fewer mastery points but Farmville haven’t made all stars equally easy to get. You need to study the tables a little to see how long each will take.

Most people will still chose a crop on the basis of how much it earns in XP and coins. At the same time, I know have been swayed a few times in my crop choices by that itch to get another star.

One thing you will notice is that it takes a lot fewer points to go from 0 to 1 star and 1 star to 2 stars than it does from 2 stars to 3 stars. These game designers can be fiends.

Requirements

A few crops require you to have mastered other crops-

  • Chickpeas require Soybeans Mastery
  • Zucchini  require Pattypan Squash Mastery
  • Gladioli  requires Daffodils Mastery
  • Purple pod peas require Peas Mastery
  • Square Melon require Watermelon & Yellow Melon Mastery
  • Posole Corn requires Corn Mastery
  • Carnival Squash requires Pattypan Squash Mastery
  • White Roses requires Pink Rose Mastery

What Do I get Out of Crop Mastery besides those pretty Stars and signs?

First of all, I wouldn’t run down ‘pretty’. One of the best things about Farmville is that the farm becomes more beautiful and more rewarding to work on as you get through the levels. Stars and signs are just as good as the new decorations that become available at each level!

I also like spending time just looking over neighbor's farms to see if they have anything I have missed out on somehow, whether it is a way of arranging things better or a decoration that I have never come across before. When I see a lot of signs I zoom in to see what a really good farmer can achieve.

We all like the coins though. so for those who need to know, here is the the bottom line:

Every time you go up a star level you get a coin reward

1 Star - 25 XP & 500 coins.
2 Star - 75 XP & 1500 coins.
3 Stars - 250 XP & 5000 coins.

If you post up your achievement, your friends will also benefit.

Rewards for Friends

1 Star =50 coins.
2 Stars= 100 coins.
3 Stars= 150 coins.

It is always nice to be popular- especially if it means you get more gifts..

Crop Mastery and Premium Crops

Once you have achieved crop mastery for a particular crop you will start getting premium crops. These are bigger than ordinary crops, look great and yield more.

The process is pretty random. Some squares planted with a crop you have mastered will grow as premium crops some will not. It seems to vary between 10% and 40%.

Premium crops give you up to 8 XP on harvesting which can be a significant jump in returns. Remember that non-premium crops give no XP on harvesting.

The XP gained at harvest seems similar for the different crops overall. The smaller the percentage of your crop that turns into a premium crop, the bigger the XP payout per square. If someone finds a premium crop that delivers huge returns, let me know below.

Bonus Bushels and Crop Mastery

Sometimes you will find a bushel of a crop you have harvested. If you have reached level one mastery for that crop. you will recieve the one bushel plus one more as a bonus. If you reached level two you will get the bushel plus two more bushels as a bonus. If you have reached level three you will get the bushel plus three more as a bonus.

Temporary Crop Mastery


Sometimes there are temporary crops which offer great bonuses and rewards if you master them- Cup Cakes and Pinto beans are recent examples. They are usually are only available for 2 or 3 weeks so you need to look out for them in the market.

Using Internet Explorer and Want a Faster Interface?

If your game is a slower than you would like, and you are using IE as your browser try changing to Firefox or Chrome. These browsers will handle a lot more threads and should be much quicker.

You can also box in your farmer with haybales or something similar. If the farmer can't move around everything happens faster.

Extreme Farmville Manager

If you have Extreme Farmville Manager (are you sure you should be using that naughty thing?), there is a new feature that offers to help with ribbons.

What can I do with My Mastery Sign?

There are only 2 options.

  • You can display it proudly.
  • You can delete it.

I would only delete mine if I was short of room for a second villa. That is a not a problem, right now. Unfortunately!

One thing you cannot do is sell it. That would be wrong- FarmVille crop mastery is all about the glory.

Tempted by FrontierVille Yet?

I would never quit half way through FarmVille. FrontierVille is also still in beta and has a lot of glitches. On the other hand, it is good to know that there is a great follow up to FarmVille waiting for you.

Will Apse Hub Author 2 years ago

Sorry, I can't say which crop is best, Mark but as you go up the levels new crops become available and usually the new crops are the most productive at each level. There is a table at my Tips and Tricks page to check XP and coin yields for each level (link above in blue box).

Brecht Van Hove 2 years ago

You can sell your crop mastery board if you put it in your barn or tool shed and then you can open your barn and you will see that you have two options : use or sell.

But you don't get a lot of money for selling this board.

Thanks for the tips! I've been playing Farmville for a while now, but it seems I don't have much time to explore around and learn all this stuff. In fact I just figured out a few weeks ago how to upgrade my farm **blushes**

I guess we're all newbies at some point, huh? Thanks again for the great post!

Will Apse profile image

Will Apse Hub Author 2 years ago

Thx for dropping by pozitivzt. One of the reasons Farmville is so successful is that it caters to all kinds of players. It really can satisfy the need for a big game that takes a few hours every day or it can just be as casual as dropping in when you a have ten minutes to kill.

I'm level 20, but I see no stars under the seeds in the market -- but I do get the Mastery Points when harvesting a crop. Do I have to wait to reach the first star before the Mastery starts to show up in the Market?

Will Apse profile image

Will Apse Hub Author 2 years ago

When you got to level 10 you should have had a pop up asking if you want to join the crop star program. Perhaps something went wrong or somehow you missed it. I don't know how you join otherwise but I will take a look around.

Maybe another visitor knows?

Olav 2 years ago

I didn't see it posted yet, but you can also sell your mastery sign by first storing it. While stored it gives the option of selling. I don't know if that influences the extra xp while harvesting though. Anyone?

When I was playing those games, I had no life. I didn't have time nor did I want to do any housework or take care of "important" things. Now I am here, still doing not as much as I should but I am fulfilled and when I'm writing, I'm happy. I'm contributing.

Will Apse Hub Author 2 years ago

Thanks for your comment lovelypaper. I am starting to worry a little. Quite a few people are using the word 'addicting' in comments. I see Farmville as a harmless and enjoyable escape from the everyday world- like listening to music or watching a movie but perhaps for some people it is more than that.

I would be interested in seeing what other people have to say.

Super Pumpkins?

Will Apse Hub Author 2 years ago

Thanks for the info, Kimberly.

Super Pumpkins are only for fans of Farmville. It is easy to become a fan, go here:

http://www.facebook.com/FarmVille?ref=ts and click to become a fan.

They cost 30 coins to buy and can be harvested in four hours giving 100 coins and 1 XP- which is pretty good deal. Don't expect them to be around too long, though. They are part of the celebration of the number of fans reaching 15 million. They finish on February 2.

I received my Super Pumpkin mastery sign today. Level 1 and 2 were both 1,250 each, while Level 3 was 2,500 for a grand total of 5,000 Super Pumpkins.

Does anyone know if selling your mastery sign affects whether or not you get the bonus XP when you harvest? DO you need to have the sign posted on your farm? Or is strictly for decoration, to keep or toss as you like?

There will always be dishes and they will always need washing, Ms Chievous. It is our destiny.

I think that if you plant the seed after you have mastered all 3 levels then you get extra xp!

Bruce 2 years ago

Will this is a great resource thank you -- I'm using it to get signs as quickly as I can.. at 13 now and growing, I've got one neighbor with 22 mastery signs.

One extra piece of information others might find helpful is if you added in the hours/days for each crop -- and calculate the minimum time needed to get each mastery level for each crop... in my case, as I'm working through the different crops, I'd like to know overall which crop will take me the least amount of time to get to mastery 3 at.

e.g. Lavender takes 1378 crops @ 2days = 2756 'crop-days' and corn takes 800 but @ 3days = 2400 'crop-days'... so corn should take less overall time to get Level 3 on than lavender... etc.

Thanks again!

(anyone can feel free to add me, search for Bruce Johnson in Columbus Ohio area, lvl 70 here)

chuck 2 years ago

is there anyway to find how many more crops you need to plant if your in between levels ?

Will Apse profile image

Will Apse Hub Author 2 years ago

I think you just have to keep track of how many you have planted, Chuck. Then you could check against the table above. One thing for sure, you will get there in the end. And it will be worth it!

McMartha 2 years ago

Chuck, you just scroll over the bar that's directly under the stars! It tells you how many you have/how many total you need...

how can i get to be a crop master. i'm at level 13.

Tom 2 years ago

Anyone elses crop mastery amounts messed up?? I noticed it after they added Saffron to the seed list. I'm level 1 blueberries and it now says 3572/2000 (before 2nd level). Coffee says 933/1050 til 3rd level, even though you need 3750 for 3rd level. Some others are messed up too.

karenwalta 2 years ago

I'd like to know what happens after we reach level 70?....justfarm, its more fun having people chase you!!

Will Apse Hub Author 2 years ago

There is FishVille or Happy Aquarium or many other games where no one chases you and you don't need to shoot people! I agree though, it is tough to find a good replacement.

Scrappy 2 years ago

There was a patch on 4-13 adjusting some of the mastery requirements. Some went up, some went down.

case 2 years ago

mine is messed up too, but it's been for longer then just when the saffron came out.. it's happening for about two of mine (coffee and corn).. it's telling me i havent gotten to the frist star yet.. when i definately have because the star is showing, and the fraction will say something like "547/400" notice the first number is bigger which is not supposed to happed

Has anybody completed all the Masteries? I have completed 32 signs so far. All I have left is pineapples,tomatoes, pink roses, carrots, ghost chili, cabbage, green tea, white grapes, black berries, lavender, sugar cane, onions, broccoli, purple poppies.

Kathryn 2 years ago

mastery levels have been altered, if you have more than required, just plant 1 and you will get your star, im afraid some of the easier levels have been increased, the updated ammounts by smh218 5 days ago, is at present correct

Cat 2 years ago

This is a really great list. I have one suggestion though. You misspelled tomato and potato, so that should be corrected on the chart.

Kathryn and Cat,

Thanks for those comments. I will look take a serious look at that table tomorrow when I have more time.

Will Apse profile image

Will Apse Hub Author 2 years ago

I went through all the crops and you are right there have been changes recently so thanks for that heads up! I fixed the table pretty much along the lines smh218 suggested.

sadgirl 2 years ago

i feel robbed everytime i see the new black berries mastery,you can have the mastery now for 7.210, two months ago i had to do 26.250 for the exact same mastery :( do you think that's fair?

PattyH2010 2 years ago

Anyone have any info for the Lilacs?

Cathy 24 months ago

If you got the mastery signs and you deleted them from your storage, can you get them back by replanting again? Is there someplace you can go to recapture things after they are deleted. What an idiot am I.

Will Apse profile image

Will Apse Hub Author 24 months ago

I'm sorry Cathy. I don't know.

If you are an idiot, I'm happy to say that you are a fully paid up member of the human race.

Kim 23 months ago

This has been really insightful. I didn't realize you could scroll over the bar to see how many you still need to fill each level.

And to the person asking about Lilacs... I don't know the first two levels, but that last one requires 1350.

Terri 23 months ago

I just browsed around to see if I could get back a mastery sign I accidentally deleted when (stupidly) trying out the new quick delete tool. Ooops, I should have aimed better. I'm guessing I'm out of luck...think so?

Matt Brady 23 months ago

This is cool, you can get coins for mastery as well as an achievement in Farmville. And yeah, the table helps to figure out which one you're close to achieving and thus the quickest to get.

Charles 23 months ago

With all the recent comments I'm surprised nobody has stressed the use of the market stalls. Go and get yourself one and then see if you can find at least one of the crop you're working on mastering. That will cut the numbers in half for mastering the crop. It also gives you better XP boosts on crops you've mastered.

Nancy 23 months ago

I haven't gotten any XP for harvesting crops I have mastered all 3 levels. I have about 10 signs posted, and whenever I plant any that I have 3 stars under, I still get the same XP only when planting, not when harvesting. ???????

Someone 23 months ago

When you have mastered a crop, you still get the same XP when planting the crop as you always did. You will get the extra XP because some crops will appear like they are fertilized, but your friends didn't always do the fertilizing, but you get 1 XP whenever the crops are like this, so that is where the extra XP comes from. I hope this helps!

Dan 22 months ago

It would be great if we could update this page with all the new crops. :)

I love this page and check it out before I start a new crop.

adorababy 22 months ago

Crop Mastery means your any kinds of crop has 3 stars now. For one star, you need to complete the mastery number of each crops.

hardlyasmile 22 months ago

if you delete your crop mastery signs, does it remove your increased XP amounts?

Will Apse profile image

Will Apse Hub Author 22 months ago

Dan- your update, well overdue, I agree.

Sorry hardlyasmile, I have never deleted one so I don't know. I hope a visitor will answer.

steve 22 months ago

i delete one mastery sign but i didn't want it? what can i do? i'm pissed off...

Kim 22 months ago

This has made it so much easier to plan out my crops for the best mastering. And the new bushels in the market have been SUPER helpful. I finally got up to 20 Masteries!

Oh, and I'm working on the second star for Elderberries and it only says 825.

Zoe 21 months ago

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get my mastery signs back after I have deleted them?

Hayden 21 months ago

You're missing Rye amongst the listed crops. :)

NiteOwl 21 months ago

How about some data for "Heirloom Carrot"

Your site is very helpful

Thanks

FreeSpirit 20 months ago

Charles' post is correct: You can "use" a bushel of the crop you are harvesting and get double points toward mastery. Go to your Market Stall, then click on Use>Bushels and select the bushel you need. If you don't already have a bushel of the crop you need, you can get one by clicking on Get>Bushels. You'll only need one; it's good for 2 hours.

Jen 20 months ago

Does anyone know what is up with the mastery sign in the farmer's market? How did I get that?

Also, does anyone know how high the levels go for each product?
