Be the king of Barn Buddy: March 2011

SOME BARN BUDDY TIPS BASIC INFORMATION

• Most important thing! You can disable annoying sounds

and music!!!

• Rule of Thumb: Grab all free gifts Barn Buddy offers you

as soon as you see them.

• You can adjust the Facebook settings so you do not

annoy your friends with every little thing you do with

these games. Disable the Automatically Post option on

Facebook

• Organize your time so you work on the tasks that give

you the most points first.

• When Barn Buddy changes their rules, like the did when

they decided to let people buy flowers without a

license. They will give the people who previously bought

the now useless license a credit.

• Buy a Sign. Be careful once you name your farm it

cannot be changed without buying another sign. You get

Experience Points by cleaning the sign every 12 hours

CREDITS, EXPERIENCE POINTS, AND COINS –

THE BACKBONE OF THE GAME

If you do not figure this out, you will never be able to master

the Barn Buddy game. Everything you do involves one, or a

combination of these points.. Pay close attention to the

details about the tasks you need to do and their options.

Some require only Coins, others only Credits. Some will give

you Experience Points and Coins others credit and Coins, or

some will be credit and Experience Points. These are the

better tasks to get involved with!

Credit Information

• Some Barn Buddy Items can only be bought with credit,

other give you a choice of credit and Coins.

• You start out your Barn Buddy adventure with 125

Credits.

• Whenever you see a FREE credit offer, grab it. Sometime

it might come with a barn or something you already

have, take it anyway.

Experience Points Information

• Experience Points are the only way to progress through

the game to higher levels. Be sure to do all the things

you can do each day to earn those Experience Points.

• On the top of the Barn Buddy page is a total of your

Experience Points. Place your cursor on top of the point

ans it tells you how many more you need for the next

level.

• Never pass up opportunities for Experience Points, do all

the tasks they offer, every day. Every little bit helps

• Plowing your fields can earn you three points per field

• Water your crops each and every day.

• Unlike Farmville, crops in Barn Buddy do not die. So if

you do not water, you will not lose your crops. You will

get fewer crops to sell, but they will not dry up and die

• You cannot over water, so too much water will not kill

the crops, so feel free to water and have your friends

water as much as you want.

• You can not stock up on water by over watering on one

day to prevent drying out the next.. You need to tend to

the farm every day.

• Spraying for bugs and weeds earns Experience Points.

• There are Daily Tasks for each animal.

• When it comes time to Harvest Crops or Animals you

earn Experience Points and Coins

• Do all of the above for your friends. The more friends

you have, and help, the more points you can rack up

• Use these Experience Points to buy decorations. Once a

day you get a free decoration, but can only get it with a

certain number of Credits. Decorations can add 10 or

more points to your account.

Getting Coins Information

This is the retail side of things. You need Coins to buy stuff

like crops, animals and decorations or anything else Barn

Buddy invents along the way. You also get Coins when you

sell or your crops or animal products.

• When the time comes to harvest, and Barn Buddy tells

you how long you have to wait, ( see Tool Bar

information) you must quickly sell your crops

• If you wait to long, you run the risk of having the stolen.

• Some animals bring in Coins income. Cows you can sell

milk, chickens produce eggs to sell and sheep get

sheared to sell wool

• Pay attention to the timing so you can get the highest

benefit

• Sell off extra Gifts. If twelve friends sent the same gift,

you might sell a few of them to earn some more Coins

• Earn Coins when doing tasks for friends

BARN BUDDY ANIMAL TIPS

Animals and crops are your livelihood in Barn Buddy just like

on a real farm. You earn Experience Points every time you

tend to their needs, clean, feed, water, etc. Some animals

will earn you Coins because you can sell what they produce.

(eggs, milk)

• In general you will learn how to invest in high profit

animals first, then add others

• A Barn Buddy dog is crucial Either refer 10 friends

(easiest) or use your accumulatedCredits. What the dog

does is protect your property from so called friends

disguised as thieves

• When you have a dog you cannot have your crops stolen

or an bugs placed on your crops by these thieving

friends. If you own a dog, and someone tried to steal

your crops, they get caught with a nasty Barn Buddy

Bite!

• The dog must be fed regularly, do not forget. Or it will

not be inclined to "bite!"

• A cow is a staple and perfect for getting Experience

Points for all its care, but you can also earn Coins for

selling the milk. Cows can only be bought with Coins

• A pig only good for the Experience Points you get from

the daily cleaning . No chance to bring home the bacon

on this one

• Chickens are an "eggstravaganza" for you! You get

Experience Points for tending to their needs, and you

can get them to lay eggs every six hours. These you can

sell for Coins. Who is going to do that 2:00AM feeding?

• Sheep will give you both Experience Points and the

chance to periodically sell the wool. No wool over your

eyes on this one

BARN BUDDY CROP TIPS

Crops like animals need tended and harvested. The extra

element here is you not only need to tend to the crops, but

also the soil. Fertile soil brings higher harvest amounts. So,

to keep crops going you buys seeds, tend to the soil, keep

them watered and bug free, and then harvest for dollars..

• In general, the rule of thumb is to invest in high profit

crops

• Pay attention to how fast the crops grow and if they

regrow after you harvest (an how often)

• When you are first starting out, to gain Experience

Points and Coins you may want to do some of the faster

growing crops, then as soon as possible the more

profitable longer growth cycle crops for a higher return

• The way to optimize crops profits is by planting

according to your daily schedule. Do not choose to plant

a crop that takes 6 hours to plant on a day you only have

3 hours scheduled. This opens the door to stealing and

damaging by others

• This is where working with your friends can come in.(see

Friends)

• Fertilizer Facts: The lowest grade fertilizer can only be

purchased with Coins

• Higher grade Fertilizer can only be purchased with

credit or received as a gift

• Flowers can be expensive, but recent changes to the

rules have made it easier. Formerly you needed a license

to buy flowers. Now you do not

• Lower grade flowers can be bought with Coins. Special

flowers need special Credits

GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM YOUR FRIENDS

• Basically, the more Friends and Neighbors you have, the

more chances you get to earn Experience Points. Every

time a friend does something for you, or you do

something for a friend, up rack up points. The more

friends, the more points. Simple as can be. Kind of like

Brownie Points. A friend in need is a friend in deed

• When referring friends to Barn Buddy, add a personal

message to the Facebook Invite. They will look at you

more positively and may-be improve your chance of

them joining

• Customize the messages your Friends see when they

come on to your property and do stuff for you. Go to

Preferences. There you can put in a personal and custom

made message they willl read when then do a task. Be

nice!

• Your Friend Groups can become potential sources for

some Barn Buddy helps, additional cheats and additional

tips

• Referring ten friends get you a free dog. Dogs are the

only way to prevent your crops from being stolen or

sabotaged

• Visiting friends and neighbors frequently is good form

and it helps you both to gets Experience Points and Coins

• Arrange a schedule with some friends. If you can never

play the game during certain hours, say you have a job,

and a friend is available during that time, arrange for

them to go in and tend to things during those hours you

cannot. It will keep everything fresh and updated. So if

the pig needs washed every 6 hours, and one of those

time frames you can't do, your friend can go in and wash

the pig then, so by the time you get home, it is ready for

another pig bath

• Help your friend plow

• Water their crops

• Spray for bugs and weeds.

• Care and harvest animals.

• Sending gifts to friends will earn you points These offers

do not come along often, so take full advantage. Your

friends will return the favor.

• You can buy Credits for your friends. Click on Earn

Credits at the bottom of the page and scroll until you

find the Purchase Credit for friends options.

• Be careful, if you try to harm your friends or neighbors

by stealing, or planting weeds and bugs, as pay back is

never fun. Do unto others works quite well in Barn

Buddy. You might want to remember although they are

fake friends on Barn Buddy, in the real world you have to

talk to these people in person at some point!

GIFTS FROM BARN BUDDY OR TO AND FROM YOUR

FRIENDS

Look for Freebies from Barn Buddies. Sometimes they will

offer to give you something for free, like a barn, and it will

come with free Credits.

Always be on the look for Free Gift opportunities. These gifts

do not cost you anything but will save your friends money,

they may return the favor.

Free gifts of things like fertilizer than only can be purchased

with Credits are a particular value.

BEAT THE SYSTEM TECHNIQUE

There are not a whole lot of sophisticated Barn Buddy

cheats. The best thing you can do, to at least feel like you

are cheating, and earn double the trouble points is to set up

a second Facebook account. This NEW account can feed

things to your REAL account. Kind of like being your own

friend and neighbor. Your own fall guy may be more like it.

Here are tips to make this work.

• Create a new Facebook account. You need a new name

and different email address ( most email accounts let

you create a bunch of email accounts.)

• Your REAL self will be your NEW account's ONLY friend

• NEW account, once up and running, will then go into

your REAL farm and put a bunch of weeds and bugs.

Then Log Off the NEW account

• Go to the REAL account and you then pick up 2

Experience Points for each weed and bug you spray.

These are the double trouble Experience Points

• If your REAL account has a dog, which is a good thing, to

make the above plan work you need to plan ahead for

this raid. On raid day, do not feed the REAL Barn Buddy

dog.. Annoyed, hungry dogs will not protect the REAL

farm, and so the dog will not "bite" your NEW account.

They can wreck havoc with not dog worries

• Once you reap your extra Experience Points, simply feed

the dog on the REAL account and all is well, you have a

happy dog again ready to protect you from other evil

friends

• Along the same lines, from you REAL account you can go

to NEW account and steal crops, and you can also do

good friend tasks that get you points and experience,

like watering, and spraying

• NEW account can send gifts to your REAL account. This

gives you the chance to get more gift Coins.

BARN BUDDY TOOL BAR BENEFITS REVEALED

Barn Buddy had a Tool Bar you can download that includes a

search window for search engine searches. This just sits up

BONUS OFFERS MUST BE GRABBED WHENEVER THEY

COME ALONG

Barn Buddy knows how to keep their Barn Buddy families

happy, keep giving them ways to earn Experience Points,

Credits and Coins! They will offer from time to time Bonus

Offers. If you do not take advantage of them, it will take

longer to move to the next level. Sometime they might be

discount prices for items you need. Well, that helps by saving

Coins for other things you need to do, saving Credits sand

Experience Points that are needed to move up to the next

level. Here are some Bonus Offers to keep your eyes open

and ready to pounce on when they come.

Bonus Holiday Items: During a holiday you will get the

chance to buy a holiday decoration. You not only get

decoration credit, but it may need some upkeep, so you also

get Experience Points each time do whatever task is needed

to keep the decoration going..

Bonus Animal Opportunities: There will be from time to time

limited edition animals available This means they only will offer a

pre-determined number of this animal Once they are bought, they

are gone. These animals might be

expensive, but will also require a whole bunch of tending, so

it is a way to pile on Experience Points to your account.

Might be your only chance ever to own a unicorn!

Animal Sales: There will often be one day sales with certain

animals on sale for half price. Use these sales wisely.

Remember the fewer Coins you use, the more are then

available for some of the other Bonus opportunities.

Some Bonus opportunities will not tell you how many Bonus

Coins you can earn with a Bonus offer. They just say mystery

Coins. So you never know, some might give you lots, others

just some. Either way you need as many Coins as you can get

to buy more barn stuff, so take it!

Pay attention to Bonus Free Gift opportunities. These gifts do

not cost you anything but will save your friends money, they

may return the favor.

Free Gifts that only can be purchased with Credits are a

particular value. This would be things like high quality

fertilizer(which translates to more crops to tend, harvest and

sell.)

Use your NEW Account to send your REAL Account the limited

time, free gift offers.

ADVANCED OR MISCELLANEOUS TIPS AND ADVICE

You might need both Google Chrome AND Mozilla Firefox on

your computer. Some tricks and offers only work with one or

the other. You can log in to the game from either.

Before you can use the Buy Instant option you must have

1430 points.

To protect your farm from thieves, all you have to do is

rearrange your house to a new location. This prevents people

from stealing your crops.

You can manipulate this to your advantage by going to Barn

Buddy Friends, right click and find Quality Menu. This lets

you change a classification for a particular friend to Low. For

these friends when you go to their farm, there will be no

house, therefore no protections.

Expanding your farm is a must-- it is really the only way to

earn enough points to get to the next level. Without instant

buy options, you may not be able to expand until 3rd level

Birthday Cake: 1000 Credits and a birthday cake that

Facebook automatically sends you on your birthday. Keep the

cake 7 days and sell it or sell it immediately for 10,000 Coins

(that must be some awesome cake)

Cake Trick: Go to your Facebook profile and change your

birthday to the next day and then you will get the cake and

Coins. You Might not want to over do this one.

Pay attention to post holiday sales so you can stock up on

holiday items for the next year at discount prices. There was

one in January for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas

decorations

Hide Item Feature: Use the Arrange Items icon and it will let

you hide some of the items you have.

This is needed when a special offer of a new improved item

(like a Paris Hilton Dog) comes along. These items will have

added features, added benefits. You are only allowed one

dog, and are not allowed to sell it or send it away. So you

just hide it, so you can buy the improved dog. This will work

on any of those offers, that offer something better than you

already have, but Barn Buddy does not let you sell or destroy

the old one.
