Tips

### Beginner

* When it comes to unlocking land, you should prioritize unlocking a path to the dock as it unlocks Cargo Ships, a source of farmable hammers and shovels. It does not have to be directly adjacent to the dock; as long as your farm has one tile touching the shore, you will unlock the dock.
	+ You unlock a second ship at the cost of 80,000 coins at Lv. 40, so make sure to save accordingly.

* After that, you should go for tiles that contain fruit trees or the Honey Tree. Not only do fruits and Honey provide a source of guaranteed revenue, but they are used to make many dishes as well.

* As soon as you can, you should try to obtain at least 5 mutual followers. You can find other random users to follow by tapping Menu > Community farms > Breezy Search!
	+ During Picnic events, you will gain a point bonus per mutual follow you have that caps out at 5 mutuals.

* If you have active mutual follows, it is recommended to use "ask for community help" on a cargo ship. This option is available once per ship. If another user fills the box for you, they will receive a reward once you confirm receipt of the items. This reward is akin to a regular cargo ship reward, meaning that someone can obtain a hammer or shovel at 1/6th the cost of doing it themselves if they help others. It is encouraged to ask for community help and fill the ships of other users when you can.

* Jewels are the premium currency in the game that are most easily obtained through In-App Purchases. You can also gain them for free from leveling up, watching ads in the Quests bar, filling cargo ships, opening present boxes, and checking the shop on occasion.

* Avoid using Jewel to shorten wait times. Never pay the equivalent of 15 Jewels per hammer for an inventory expansion. Rather, use them for things that cannot be obtained otherwise.
	+ At levels 30 and 35, you unlock a second Cow Barn and Chicken Coop respectively at the cost of 100 Jewels each.
	+ By default, the shops allow you to queue up to 3 dishes. Unlocking additional slots in the shops allows you to queue more items. The costs are:
		- 4th Slot: 30 Jewels
		- 5th Slot: 100 Jewels
		- 6th Slot: 300 Jewels
		- 7th Slot: 800 Jewels

* All shops need to have their slots unlocked individually; e.g. if you unlock the 4th slot in the Fruit Bar you would still need to pay 30 Jewels to unlock the 4th slot in the Bakery. I think it is worth at least unlocking the 4th and 5th slots in every shop, if you have the Jewels on hand.

* If your inventory is full, you can sell items from the inventory screen. However, if you can, doing orders is always more efficient - the amount of coins you receive from an order is **double** the amount of coins you would receive from selling it directly in the inventory, and gives you EXP when direct selling would give you none.

* If you cannot fill an order, you can cancel it to receive another randomly generated one after a 20 minute wait. You can watch an ad (or spend Jewels) to skip this time and generate an order instantly. You can do this multiple times but there are a limited number of times you can watch an ad before the option temporarily disappears.

* In the Quests bar, a randomly generated present box will be opened once you complete quests and gain points to fill the progress bar at the top. Every 6 hours you have the option to watch up to 4 ads for 10 points per ad + some coins or Jewels.
	+ Big Box: 50 Points
	+ Super Rare Box: 60 Points
	+ Premium Box: 100 Points
	+ Ultra Rare Box: 200 Points
* Present box rarity is as follows:
	+ White Box (2 hours): 75-90 coins and 3 common or better items
	+ Rare Box (3 hours): 225-255 coins, 2 common or better items, 1 R item
	+ Big Box (3 hours): 750-825 coins, many common items (about 10), 1-2 rare items
	+ Super Rare Box (4 hours): (???) coins, <3 common/rare items, 1 SR item
	+ Premium Box (??? hours): (???) coins, many common/rare items (about 10), 1 SR item
	+ Ultra Rare Box (8 hours): (???) coins, 1 UR item
	+ Bear Box (Shop Only): 2250-2550 coins, 10 - 12 Jewels, 15 common or better items, and 1 UR item

* It is possible to receive a Hammer in addition to the regular box items at any rarity. The appearance rate of non-guaranteed decorations increases exponentially as the tier of the item increases.

* For every 3 orders you complete, you obtain a present box. It is somewhat systematic, with higher rarity boxes becoming available with more present boxes opened.

* You can hold up to 3 boxes at a time while one is being delivered. Unfortunately, you cannot throw away boxes. The only way to get rid of a box is to deliver it.
