FarmVille Basics
Farmer: You, the Facebook user is the farmer. You can customize your look with available features.
The Farm is where you grow crops, cultivate livestock and plant trees. Each user can customize the farm as s/he likes.
Plots: Each square in the image indicates one plot in the farm.
Tools: The tools are used to plough the land and to harvest crops.
Money: Money is needed to plough the farm, buy seeds, sow seeds and other items from the market. Every time you harvest crops or rear livestock, you earn some money.
In FarmVille there are two types of Money: Coins and FV. To buy items on FarmVille, you mostly require coins. However, some items like buildings and extra land can be bought only by FV notes. Coins can be earned soon. But earning FVs take time.
Ribbons: Ribbons are like awards that you get for your farming skills. Once you earn a ribbon, you can publish it on your Facebook wall and even share your wealth among friends who are farmers on FarmVille.
Market: The market is a place where you can buy seeds, trees, animals, buildings, decorations, more farming land and vehicles for your farm.
