FarmVille Ribbons Knock On Wood These Tips Will Increase Your Earnings

It can be very easy to overlook the power of FarmVille achievement ribbons since you earn most of them by simply doing what you have to do to care for your farm anyway. After all, you earn ribbons for plowing, harvesting, and even for spending money at the local market. However, the bonuses that you receive can be quite large, so you can really give yourself a boost by making it a priority to earn these ribbons. Given the very small amount of required effort, it is well worth it and so easy to accomplish.

Ribbons Galore

There is a nice stack of ribbons that you can earn, and to spice things up new ones are added. Some are easy to get like the Local Celebratory ribbon – just need neighbors for that one.

I love the Knock on Wood ribbon. You see I am a tree hugger and have surrounded my farm with trees (around the edges). Of, course you have to plants and harvest unique trees to get this one, which can be a lot of work. However, for me it was well worth it to be a proud owner of the Knock on Wood ribbon achievement.

Know What To Do To Get Your Ribbons

If you are going to be working on earning ribbons, you will need to know what you have to do to earn them. You can learn this easily by simply clicking on the ribbon icon at the bottom of your screen. This will bring up a window that will allow you to check out the many different types of ribbons that are available and learn what you will have to do to in order to earn each one.

Earning Ribbons or Complimentary?

While some of the accomplishments rewarded by ribbons are complimentary, many others are not. For example, you can earn some ribbons by harvesting a certain number of vegetable crops and some others by harvesting a certain number of fruit crops. Because you only have a limited amount of space to devote to your crops, it is best if you focus on one of these achievements first, and then shift to the other.

Trying to split your resources between the two will only make it harder for you to accomplish both of them.

Some separate ribbons are indeed complimentary, however. For example, you can earn ribbons by spending money in the market, as well as by owning a certain number of decorations. Since you have to spend money in the store to accumulate these decorations, you can work towards both of these ribbons simultaneously. It makes total sense right?

Is Your Layout Setup For Max Ribbon Earning

Another option for you is to change the layout of your farm in order to earn ribbons more quickly. For instance, if you know that you are going after some ribbons that have to do with harvesting or planting crops, you should definitely maximize the amount of space you devote to plowed land.

Once you have taken care of these accomplishments however, you can adjust your layout to reflect your new goals. You do not want to get rid of all of your plowed plots however; you just need to make sure that you have enough space set aside to pursue your new goals.

Share Your Wealth With Your Neighbors

Since you can share the wealth with your friends every time that you earn a ribbon, you should be sure to take full advantage of all of the bonuses that you can earn when your friends collect ribbons as well.

Checking your news feed frequently for your friends’ announcements and then clicking on the link to collect the bonuses that they are offering will be a great way to earn some extra coins and get ahead in FarmVille quickly. Just make sure you are offering the bonuses to them as well so that they share with you every time they have the opportunity to. Fair is fair!

Follow the above steps and you will soon be on the way to achieving your next ribbon.
