Tiki Farm Strategy
 |
Visit Tiki Farm friends to level up – Visit your friends every day and by help them by watering their crops and spraying for bugs. You’ll earn XP points for doing so and level up much faster.
Water your crops regularly – Water your crops as often as you can to gain XP points. This will help you get to the next level faster and it will also ensure that your crops don’t die.
Defend your crops – Make sure you spray for bugs any time they appear. You’ll earn 1 experience point for every field you spray and this will ensure that your crops are healthy and don’t lose their value.
Moving planted fields – You cannot move fields in Tiki Farm once you’ve planted something in that plot of land. So if you need to move them, make sure you do it before planting your crops or after you’ve harvested them.
Choose highly profitable crops – Some crops are worth more than others. That is, you can sell some crops for more shells than others. Choosing crops that bring in the most profit is a smart way to play the game. You can calculate the profitability of a given crop by accounting for the time, expenses, and sale price for each crop.
Plant crops around your schedule – Be careful when planting crops as some reach maturity sooner than others. If you plant a 15-minute crop and you aren’t able harvest within the allotted time, you may lose your potential profits. If you know you’re going to be away for most of the day, either don’t plant any at all or only plant ones that won’t be ready to harvest until you are able to tend to them.
Please don’t beg for gifts – Don’t beg your friends to send Tiki Farm gifts. I assure you that posting these gifting needs to your profile is sufficient enough to receive replies and obnoxious requests by friends will fall on deaf ears most of the time.
Avoid slimy offers – Be careful when completing Tiki Farm offers to obtain Tiki Farm gems. Make sure that you read the fine print as many of them will try to fool you into signing up and your credit card or mobile phone may be charged a monthly fee.
Expand your farm – Continue to add extra fields to expand the number of crops you have to increase your potential profits. The more you plant and harvest, the more shells you can earn.
Be generous to Tiki Farm neighbors – It’s important to help your Tiki Farm friends and send gifts as often as possible. You can earn experience points for doing so and your friends will be more inclined to return the favor when you need it.
Don’t annoy your Tiki Farm friends – As you’re playing Tiki Farm, you’ll be asked to post certain things to your Facebook profile’s news feed. As a rule of thumb you should do this sparingly as it can be very annoying to your Facebook friends and they may hide you from their news feed or even unfriend you. If you want to totally disable this, check out our Facebook Guide that includes detailed instructions on how to do this and manage your Facebook account.
Try a different browser – If you find your web browser to be loading web pages at a snail’s pace, you might want to ditch your current browser for a much lighter one. Opera and Google Chrome load pages quickly and they don’t hog your computers resources as much as traditional web browsers (e.g. Firefox, Internet Explorer) do.
Say it don’t spray it – There’s nothing more annoying than someone asking you to add them as their Facebook friend when you have no idea who they are or why they want to be your friend. A simple message attached to the friend request like “Tiki Farm” or “Tiki Farm add” lets that individual know what the add is for and you’ll most likely obtain a higher acceptance rate than just shouting “add me” over and over again.
Become a fan of Tiki Farm – Growing your Tiki Farm friends list is a key component of the game. That is the number of Tiki Farm neighbors you have determines what items are available to you, it allows you to earn more Tiki Farm shells, and gain more Tiki Farm experience points to level up faster. The problem is that you don’t want to invite people that don’t play the game and there’s no easy way of determining who plays Tiki Farm. One great solution to this dilemma is the Tiki Farm fan pages and groups. The numerous Tiki Farm groups and fan pages are filled with wall postings from Tiki Farm players that are looking for friends to add. You in turn can post your profile link to those Tiki Farm groups and fan pages to acquire Tiki Farm adds yourself.
Send Tiki Farm tips – Submit your Tiki Farm tips and kickass strategies to have them added to the Tiki Farm guide. This ensures we’ll be able to keep the guide up-to-date and it helps educate your friends when you share the guide with them. Ultimately they will be encouraged to assist you in the game through sending gifts and visiting your farm as we’ve already pointed out herein this Tiki Farm guide.
Share this Tiki Farm guide <=== Share our Tiki Farm guide with your friends on Facebook and Twitter. As we’ve previously indicated this guide is a great tool for teaching your friends how to play Tiki Farm and it encourages them to help you in the game.
