Do You Really Need a Guide For FarmVille?

January 17, 2010 by smitty7532

I consider myself to be relatively well educated in the latest generation of social networking site games like Mafia Wars, Vampire Wars, and such. That’s why when I started to see these FarmVille guides popping up all over the place I was kind of surprised. I mean, I can see why people might need some tips to get going in games like Mafia Wars, but FarmVille?

At this point though I hadn’t actually played the game, but I didn’t really think it could be all that complicated. I figured I should give it a shot though, just so that I could say I knew what I was talking about. And I was in for a rather big surprise. In no time, I was out of money and had no crops to plant. I have to admit, there way more to this game than I had anticipated.

I eventually managed to dig myself out of my original hole and out of the red, but I still wasn’t making all that much progress. I started to think that maybe I needed to see what these guides were all about. I wasn’t really expecting much, but since I hadn’t done so well on my own either, I figured it was worth a shot.

So I picked up a guide called FarmVille secrets, and was pleasantly surprised by the tips I found in it. You wouldn’t think there were so many ways you could screw up a virtual farm, but believe me, you can. I was still stumbling along at level 6 when I got the guide after 2 weeks of playing regularly. Now I’m the proud owner of a plantation and a level 26 Sultan of Soil. And I still look back at my guide from time to time. If you’re having trouble getting into the swing of things in FarmVille, this guide is not a bad investment.

Is Buying a FarmVille Guide Worth It?

January 17, 2010 by smitty7532

I have to admit, I was pretty skeptical when I first started seeing FarmVille guides popping up. I mean, I’d never really played the game, but from the name I assumed there couldn’t be all that much to it. After all, how much strategy could possibly go into building a virtual farm? But once I started seeing these guides, I figured it’d be worth taking a shot at the game to see what all the hubbub could possibly be about.

And I was actually rather surprised. Building my own virtual farm was much more enjoyable than I’d imagined it would be. Part of that was because there really were a lot of options and a lot of decisions to make. The more I played the game, the more I realized that there probably could be a lot of helpful information in a guide because there were just too many ways you could play.

I was doing alright on my own, but I was getting more and more curious about what I might be missing out on. After I reached level 13 and was having a hard time getting farther, I decided to give one of the guides a shot. I bought FarmVille Secrets, a relatively new guide and pretty up to date on the latest additions to the game. I really wasn’t expecting too much, but this guide just blew me away.

In no time, I was the Cream of the Crop, a level 24 farmer with a Big Family Farm and tons of neighbors to visit. Using the tips in this guide helped me way more than I thought they would – even when I read them. There’s a lot more to this farming stuff than meets the eye. I’d recommend picking up a copy of FarmVille Secrets if you’re interested in getting the most out of your FarmVille experience.

Lost in FarmVille?

January 17, 2010 by smitty7532

If you’re having trouble getting a hang of the way of things in FarmVille, you’re not alone. I know of quite a few people who got into the game expecting it to be easy as pie and were quickly frustrated. In fact, I was one of them. So I went looking for a guide to help me master the farming life.

I actually tried quite a few of these guides, but not many of them had much helpful information to give. They were either designed for people who’d gotten all the way to the upper levels already, or they were severely outdated because of additions made to the game since they were released. FarmVille is a relatively new game and is still in the Beta stage, so a lot of improvements have been made to it in a short time and many of the guides on the market have not been updated to account for these changes.

So I finally broke down and bought FarmVille Secrets. This guide has been released pretty recently, so it’s up to date on all of the latest advances in the game. I found it to be immensely helpful to me, and I was quickly raking in the coins and moving up in levels like you wouldn’t believe.

In addition to the helpful tips, FarmVille Secrets also includes some handy charts and other resources that help you to compare items available in the Market and also helps you to plan out your spending and improvement strategies. I think you’ll be as pleasantly surprised as I was when you read this guide and put the tips in it to use on your farm. I started to see results overnight almost. It’s definitely a guide worth checking out if you’re having trouble getting the hang of FarmVille, or if you just want to give your game an extra boost. Either way, you’ll be happy you tried it.

What Does it Take to Max Out Your Mafia Wars Position?

January 17, 2010 by smitty7532

I’ll admit it, I have a guilty pleasure and its name is Mafia Wars. I sincerely doubt I’m alone in this regard, but that doesn’t make it any less silly. There are millions of other players out there right now who take this thing way more seriously than I ever will and that’s at least mildly comforting.

So, when I stumbled upon a guide the other day that claimed to help you reach the top of the pile where all the elite mafias are sitting I was a little dubious. These guys pour hours of their life into the game. How can I be one of them without doing the same? It’s expensive, right?

How it Works

So, rather than wonder if I’d be forever at the bottom of the pile (I’m just a bit competitive after all), I decided to check out the guide and see exactly what it was that the gurus were expecting me to do to become one of the top players.

Turns out, it’s not that hard.

That’s not entirely accurate. These tips are genius, and well researched. But, when you read them, you’re going to hit your head on the keyboard and wonder why you never considered what you could have done to become one of those very gurus we all ogle.

Here’s the deal. The guide is relatively simple. It tells you exactly what you need to figure out and master the game from the ground up. But, if you’re already level 34, you can use the same tips to revamp your strategies.

My favourite part was when it told me how to get 500 in my family in a couple days. Granted, it took me a full week, but still…I had 500 in my family in a week. That’s insane.

I’m not quite up to level 150+ yet, but I’m well on my way to the top of the charts and you’d better believe I’m going to brag about it. If you’re serious about being really, really good at this game you really ought to give this guide a shot.

The Truth Behind the Mafia Wars Blueprint

January 17, 2010 by smitty7532

The Mafia Wars Blueprint, the newest in a long line of recent game guide releases for Mafia Wars made its way to my desktop over the weekend and after giving it a read, I wanted to share my thoughts with everyone about how the newest in the current batch of game guides for the world’s fastest growing social game turned out.

The Basics

The guide, very much like the other Mafia Wars guides, claims that it can help you learn how to be the better of the many, many mafia bosses out there. However, unlike a lot of those other guides, it doesn’t waste time with very few details and a whole lot of common sense. There are some actually useful tips in this guide and that makes it a very appealing purchase for anyone who has ever spent more than 20 minutes trying to figure out what they were doing in Mafia Wars while their friends battered them senseless.

So, the early test was a positive one. But, how did the guide hold up upon further inspection? To my honest surprise, very well.

This guide is clearly written by someone who has spent a great deal of time mastering the art of building a mafia and dominating their opponents (something I am just becoming familiar with). They know exactly how to build a mafia family (and fast), and how to turn that family into the vehicle necessary to take down anyone that stands their way.

I’ve seen a lot of people make a lot of claims thus far with this game and to tell you the truth, they usually fall short, but Mafia Wars Blueprint really delivers.

The guide is about twice as long as the other ones on the market, is far more detailed in telling you exactly what you’re supposed to be doing, and is updated regularly for anyone worried that they’ll fall behind when Moscow hits the game.

So, if you’re looking for a Mafia Wars guide, this should be the first (and last) one you check out. For what it promises, nothing else does better.

My Short Review of Mafia Wars Blueprint, Does it Really Work?

January 17, 2010 by smitty7532

I love Mafia Wars. Don’t ask me why. It’s a silly, very basic interfaced game that really only draws so much attention because people want to see how their friends are doing. But, for millions every day, it is an entertaining diversion that allows them to show off how good they are at networking and completing simple tasks.

Using a Guide

But, let’s face it. Mafia Wars, for as simple as it seems, is tough to do well in. There are just so many people out there and you have to compete with every single one of them. They rob you, beat you up and take all the good mafia members. So, where do you go to find the path to glory without spending tons of cash (*cough* Godfather Points *cough*).

The answer is simple enough now that I’ve stumbled upon the Mafia Wars Blueprint. This guide, which was recently released to quite a bit of interest, is quickly becoming the go to guide for anyone truly serious about finding the best guide on the market to help them launch their Mafioso career.

The basics are relatively simple. The guide shows you how to get started in the game, how to build your mafia at rapid speed without having to spend a dime, and how to never actually get beaten by your enemies.

Beyond that though, it shows you to reduce the time spent while getting more from that time. The biggest problem most people have with this game is that they’re not bored college students who have nothing better to do than to sit around and play the game.

So, a guide like this that breaks it down in a way that makes it incredibly easy to get a lot done very quickly is incredibly impressive.

Do You Need a Good Guide

You may not think you need a good guide, but the odds are that you’re just as far behind everyone as I was a few weeks ago. The Mafia Wars Blueprint is the real deal. It’s going to get you to where you need to be, where you can dominate your enemies, and quickly land atop the heap of millions that play this game. You do that and you’ll be pretty much set for as long as you continue to play the game. Check it out.

Supply and Demand in World of Warcraft

January 17, 2010 by smitty7532

The timeless principles of supply and demand command the Warcraft economy as it does in economies throughoutthe globe, no matter the size or scope.

The application of the basic tenets of the principles espoused by economists for centuries will reverberate throughout the World of Warcraft as well, game or not.

Not enough people are listening though, which is why it is essentialand advantageous that you do.

With limited supplies of every product in the game, knowledge of supply is essential to game play and user interaction, and most importantly,gold making.

When an item is in low supply, yet wanted by users throughout the game, the principles of the economy will increase the value of that itemgreatly.

The more people that want the item, the greater the increase in the value of the item.

Rare and discarded items such as cloth and motes will sell for extravagant prices at the Auction House.

The buyers are willing to pay because the demand is high. demand is dependent upon the items most needed at any given time, and the products that are most sought after by the entire population.

You should leverage supply & demand dynamics to your advantage and always be on the lookout for “shortages” in order to profit by selling items for a premium.

One of the most profitable strategies one can apply when playing the Auction House is to stock up on many different items and regularly check the Auction House.

When the items in stock have no competition (i.e. no one else is listing them) then you should sell them for a premium.

This works especially well when dealing with “high demand” items like high level enchanting materials or other trade goods.

The next time you visit the Auction House buy a few extra items, and save them for the future.

The Trade Channel

January 17, 2010 by smitty7532

Like searching sales and bargain shopping, the city trade channel can be a source of important and gold-saving deals for the avid player.

Though searching for the right deal and the right buy can be time consuming, the advantages are multiple for the buyer and the seller.

The seller can avoid the selling fees of the Auction House, as well as benefiting from a quicker selling time. With discount around 10 or 20% at the trade channel, buyers and sellers are presented with I should note now that I do not recommend ever selling in the trade channel.

The trade channel I consider a tool for someone who needs some quick gold. With time to set up a system where you can get the best prices available at the Auction House, there would be no need to sell at the trade channel.

With excessive bids from advertisements, the trade channel can be a headache to anyone wishing to do serious business through that venue, unless absolutely necessary.

While 20% is a conservative estimate of the savings available buying at the trade channel, often items will skyrocket this number. When a seller is clueless as to the real value of their item, a product can be sold for next to nothing, comparatively.

Buying objects like Krol Blades or Molten Core items on the trade channel, and selling them for large markups at the Auction House can quickly build a small fortune through unknowing buyers, or make small profits over time more realistically.

Items that aren’t very well known can slip by very easily as well. I ended up buying a 1 in 15,000 drop Azure Whelpling pet for the bargain price of 2 gold from a seller who had no idea wat he had.

These days,that pet goes for 300-500+ gold and is one of the rarest pets in World of Warcraft. If you’re willing to wade through the idiocy of the trade channel, you can find an incredible deal from time to time.

The Auction House

January 17, 2010 by smitty7532

The Auction House (AH) is the heart and soul of every possible way of accumulating wealth. Using this tool will be the most important factor in your accumulation of gold.

Used correctly, it can serve as the biggest advantage to attaining riches, but can also be downfall to your character if used without the proper knowledge.

Knowing how to overcome the pitfalls of the AH, and how to take advantage of all of its different possibilities will allow your character maximum gold earning potential.

Understanding the economy on a larger scale of your entire server will help you to understand the micro-economy of your Auction House.

The basic tenets of money making (buying low, selling high) will help you to gain the most gold, as will having as much knowledge as possible, such as average prices, ranges, items, and profits.

The Auctioneer AddOn (google: auctioneer addon), and others, will help you keep, collect, and analyze this data in easy to read sheets, drop downs, and browsers. Like having the pulse of the Auction House in front of you, the condensing of all of the information available into an easy to read format will allow you to scan more quickly, and buy more intelligently.

Random buying, though, is not always rewarded with profit, and using this portion guide will help you to understand how you can use AH effectively and make the gold that is there for the taking.

The basic daily strategies are presented step by step, and knowing the basic principle (buying low and selling high), will help you to dominate the economy as I have for years, and at one time through nine different servers.

Using each of these add-ons will put you in the premium position for economic success, and, like me, running the auction houses that are the essential component in your money-making life as a successful character.

Understanding Weekly Cycles

January 17, 2010 by smitty7532

With most players on the World of Warcraft servers on the weekends,there are different kind of players playing on the weekend than Monday through Friday.

Most casual players are the ones on during the weekends. These players are often not as serious about the gold-making process that you are.

They are unaware of the pricing and economic schemes going on, and will add a superficial or unrepresentative spin to the Market during short spans.

They spend money as they make it, and, without gearing up or necessarily using Auction Houses, they will inject the market with products or money at any given time.

With their high level chars they are unlimited buyers of everything that’s purple, Bind on Equip items, gems, and Enchanting materials.

With this in mind, the buyer spike during the weekends floods the economy with cheap goods and cheap money.

When your Auction House expires 48 hours later, the weekend will be almost over, so you should put your goods in as early as possible, maybe Friday evening.

Also, you will usually find many good deals at the Auction House over the weekend, especially late in the weekend.

With these casual players dealing with items they may not know the value of, expect there to be many new items that were found over the weekend available for bid.

Many of these items will be purchased at a bargain.
