Barn Buddy Tips


Clear weeds and bugs
We can earn experience points when clearing the weeds and bugs. So the more weeds and bugs you clear, the faster you will level up. When you want to ask somebody to put the weed and bug at your farm, don’t! Instead, ask him to put at both your common friend’s farm and you clear it there. Why? Because if you clear at your place, you will earn only points but if you clear the weed at someone’s farm, you will earn both experience points and coins.


Steal
Clearing weed and debugging to earn coin is slow. To earn coin, don’t make the debugging and clearing weed your main source. Instead, go for stealing. One unit of turnip (the cheapest) is already worth 23 coins, equivalent to 23 clicks of clearing weeds.

Remember to steal.. steal even there is dog. Look at the food container. If it is empty, then it’s good, he won’t bite. Even if the food is full, he will bite, but don’t be afraid, just go ahead and steal :D You might get bitten a few times and drop some coins, but it still worth it. I got bitten 8 times which causes me to lose 30 coins.. but one pumpkin worth 53 coins, so I still earn 23 coins.

What to plant?
Pea will give the highest profit per hour.


Yes, each harvest will give you experience point. So some people will choose to plant turnip for the shortest growth time so they will harvest more frequently and earn more point. But each harvest will give only few points equivalent to clearing few weeds. On top of that, he also need frequently monitor his plant and harvest.

Choosing plant with longer growth time will give you the freedom to leave your farm unattended for a longer time. But if you are addicted and cannot live without looking at your farm, you can opt for pea which will need harvesting every day and gives the best profit.

Using fertilizer will reduce your profit. One weak fertilizer which reduces one hour, costs 50 coins whereas your highest possible profit per hour is only 25.31 coins for pea (max). So try to reduce the usage of fertilizer unless it is necessary.

Protect your crops from being stolen
How to do this? You need a connection which is faster than the thief. Or else, one second of lagging time will cause your few units being stolen (if the thief is there getting ready countdown together with you). One unit of pea worth 41 coins and usually there will be minimum one unit get stolen if not 2 or 3. So to maximize your profit, ensure NOT even one unit goes missing!

How to do this? Easy.. use fertilizer. When the unit is 1 hour to harvest, use fertilizer to make it ripe and harvest IMMEDIATELY. Yes as said earlier, using fertilizer will reduce your profit a little. But it’s still better than your crops get stolen. Two units of pea is 82 coins, one fertilizer only cost you 50 coins.
