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 level 40, so make sure to save accordingly.
* After that, you should go for tiles that contain fruit trees, as they are a source of revenue.

* 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, as a cargo ship reward, from present boxes, and occasionally for free from the shop.
* Avoid using Jewel to shorten wait times. Never pay 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 in 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 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 2 ads for 10 points per ad + some coins or Jewels.
	+ Tall 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, <3 common items
	+ Rare Box (3 hours): 225-255 coins, <3 common items, 1 rare item
	+ Tall 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 lol): (???) coins, many common/rare items (about 10), 1+ SR
	+ Ultra Rare Box (8 hours): (???) coins, 1 UR
	+ Bear Box (Shop Only): (???) coins, many common/rare items (about 10), 1 UR

* At any rarity, you can receive Jewels, a hammer, or an item of higher rarity. It is possible to get UR furniture in a white box.
* 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. Unfortunately, you cannot throw away boxes. The only way to get rid of a box is to deliver it.
