Adding Neighbors[]

The Add Neighbor tab

Once a farmer starts playing FarmVille, it is important to add neighbors. This means inviting Facebook friends to the game, or inviting friends who already play FarmVille to become a neighbor. Once they accept the application and accept a farmer as a neighbor the farmer may then visit their farm. A maximum of 300 neighbors is allowed by the game. Having a large number of neighbors, especially active ones, may make competition very intense for items posted to the users feed for others to collect.

Benefits of Neighbors[]

There are several benefits to having neighbors.

  • Earn experience and coins - Sometimes, while at a friends farm or at your own, a message will appear, asking for help. If you help the friend, you can earn coins and experience.
  • Expand your farm - By obtaining a certain amount of neighbors, farmers may pay for farm expansions with coins instead of farm bucks.
  • Gain achievements - By adding more neighbors, farmers may earn the Local Celebrity Farmers may take ideas from a neighbors farm and use it in their own.

  • Gifting - Many items are only available as gifts from neighbors, while others, including items required to build most of the available buildings may be purchased for FVC but is often required in such quantities that the player would be forced to spend a lot of money to play.
