FarmVille Milestone: 100th unique revenue/hour layer!

FarmVilleDate 267 (Sunday, March 14, 2010) no comments

We are heading to a milestone in FarmVille: the 100th unique revenue/hour layer (with a precision of 2 decimals)

When I looked at the overall best revenue listing I suddenly saw that the one of the next objects in FarmVille, whether a tree, an animal, a seed or a "building with a purpose" will be a legendary 100th unique revenue/hour producing object. It could take some time, but it will certainly come.

(and I mean "a unique value for a revenue per hour" so let's call it a revenue layer).

All trees+animals+seeds that ever appeared are divided in 97 "revenue layer" in total. And we have 3 revenue layer producing buildings: the chicken coop, the dairy farm and the horse stable. Which I just will count for "a unique layer it itself"

I thought: let's view at the past from the point of revenue at take the top 10 revenue producing classes (tas) for a quick flashback:

The current #1 in revenue: Horse Stable + Calfs

The horse stable can produce the best revenue but since you can only have one, in the overall 97 "sat" listing the 6 Calfs are still on top with a revenue per hour of 55.65 Farm Coins. Amazing since they can be simply grabbed off the Facebook Feed by the hundreds to place to on your farm.

The #2 is still the Acai Tree (52.17 coins/hr)

Personally I would have expected that an animal where we pay (a lot of) Farm Cash for would be a best revenue producing animal. Not that you would have the chance to place thousands of it on your farm but it would make it more special to own such an animal.

For a brief moment the fantasy animal Jackalope (which is now at rank #7) was the absolute #1 so I got 5 of them. Unfortunately the revenue was lowered some days later.

But luckily there is still the Acai Tree, since the beginning it was the #1 only recently to be replaced by the Calfs. It is our constant factor though I never saw someone who had fields full of Acai Trees.

The #3: Maple Tree + the ornament Trees (52.17 coins/hr)

And 3 more trees sit on position #3. I can understand the Maple Tree since it is somewhat resembling the Acai Tree. Only available for Fv and uhm pretty much FV for 1 Tree. But the ornament trees which were available during Christmas / Winter Holiday Theme were a surprise. Why are these trees producing so much revenue?

The #4: The golden chicken (44.52 coins/hr)

The golden chicken was for a moment the absolute #1 animal. Or… the thing you needed to get which did not cost any Farm Cash. It was a legend for some time. There would be a supposed golden chicken that was only seen by few players. Apart from that now that it is so common it is nice to have and was later followed by a chicken coop so that you could even place more of them on the same amount of spaces.

The #5: The baby tiger and the Bear Cub (38.26 coins/hr)

These are both new animals and both were limited AND they costed both 22 Farm Cash. Which makes them the most expensive Farm Cash animals apart from the Giant Panda (and the golden chicken for who is crazy enough to buy it for Farm Cash). So it is probably good that they are this high although I wonder why the Giant Panda is not higher.

The #6: Super Berries (37.5)

And still the old fans are not let down since this seed from the first "themed" event still sits at #6.

The #7: Jackalope & Porcupine (36.52)

As said, the Jackalope was once the for a short time the #1 on this list. But now both these animals from the mystery boxes sit on #7 and are ofcourse pretty special unique animals so they should be this high.

The #8: The Lop Eared Bunny and the Peacock (31.3)

And 2 other limited animals sit on #8. The Lop Eared Bunny was a theme on itself so it really deserves a high spot I think. It is also cute :) The Peacock… well for an animal this proud and on the fan wishlist for such a long time it should also be that high. Especially for those players who wasted countless Farm Cash trying to get their Peacock from the mystery box.

The #9: Proud Birds (27.83)

The swan, The 2 Turkeys, the 2 gooses and the Valley Quail. Somehow they all are, I think some kind of birds that belong in the same biological branch (although I am not sure). And they all sit on rank #9. There are and were different ways to get them so they are a bit of a weird bunch of birds in terms of getting them but it is nice that somewhere there in Zynga thought hey… let's put all of these kind of birds on the same level.

The #10: Black Chicken (22.26)

Yeah! I think, with the Chicken Coop introduction, they needed to have the Chickens distributed evenly so it somehow landed at spot #10. Still good.

And…The current #95 in revenue:

Apart from the 2 animals that transform (the baby turkey and the ugly ducking) the absolute worst thing to waste your space on is "wheat" with a revenue of 0.94 coins per hour. Will there ever be something even worse than wheat?

Well… if there ever comes something out that takes a lot days, costs a lot and produces almost nothing… who knows. Personally I would have expected a cat to be that low lol.

The buildings with a purpose

Yes… with a specific kind of animals in there they produce high revenue but … you can only have a few of them each. And well.. this post was just a little exercise to see what was going on in the table.

p.s. I hope I did not forget any object and that we are already on #100 in terms of unique "Revenue per Hour Layer" (where the buildings are counted as 1).

p.p.s. a dog would be cool #100 revenue producing object with let's say a value of 56 coins per hour :)

Overall best profit animals, seeds or trees in FarmVille

FarmVilleDate 224 (Saturday, January 30, 2010) no comments

I have added another report that shows the overall best profit for animals, seeds and trees in FarmVille when we do not take the ROI into account, which means that effectively for animals and trees the revenue is equal to the profit. It shows currently 85 different values. And I think by now you can guess the 4 animals who are on number 1. So yes plant your 24x24 full of Calfs and there is no better way to earn money quickly besides cheating or hacking your way into the servers of Zynga.

So you have the choice to either plant a square of wheat or put 16 calfs on it which make you over 55 times as much as money.

p.s. this is the first report where I use the new "shared" numbering and in time this will propagate to other reports where such numbering is needed.

You can find it here.

The two new FarmVille Ornament Trees are superb revenue trees!

FarmVilleDate 175 (Saturday, December 12, 2009) 3 comments

Since I just collected from my Ornament Trees, I thought I'd give you an update on them.

The two trees are the 21th and 22nd tree in FarmVille (the Holiday Tree is more or less a building not a tree). They bring balance again between gifting only and coins only trees, since with the introduction of these two trees exactly 10 trees are or were gift-able only and 10 trees are available for Farm Coins (and 2 for Farm Cash).

With these trees we have, now the Maple Trees are gone, again 2 trees who are ideal for "quick harvesting". In other ways: a way to achieve your Knock on Wood Ribbon faster (besides planting Cherry Trees only).

Exactly like the Yellow Maple Tree once was, you can buy it for coins and harvest in the shortest time possible (there are no trees (yet) who harvest faster than 2 days).

2 The two new FarmVille Ornament Trees are superb revenue trees!

In terms of pure revenue they deliver a lot! Basically there is no better tree to spend your coins on. They are the #2 trees ever for producing revenue (only the Acai Tree scores higher).

1 The two new FarmVille Ornament Trees are superb revenue trees!

And finally, when planting them in groups of 4x4, thus creating a forest with squares resembling seeds they are also unbelievable since they deliver the 2nd highest revenue per hour per square ever.

3 The two new FarmVille Ornament Trees are superb revenue trees!

Conclusion: not only do they look good during Winter Holiday 2009 (sadly they are gone next year) but they make a huge profit too. I would advice you to obtain some squares of them.

If you compare e.g. the olive tree (19.48 rev/hr/square) with it: this tree delivers more than 2 times as much!

The FarmVille Calf is the new #1 revenue animal

image363 The FarmVille Calf is the new #1 revenue animal

As you know by now, these sweet looking calves are the products of your dairy farm after you put 1 bull in the dairy farm. And just like the chicken coop it produces "items" that only your friends will profit from by posting them to the wall.

With a size of 1x1 you can fit 16 of them on a square and exactly that property combined with an extremely short collecting time (23 hrs) and a more or less good revenue value (80 coins) make them the new #1 animal for revenue in FarmVille:

image364 The FarmVille Calf is the new #1 revenue animal

As you can see these Calves produce a massive 55.5 coins per hour per square and there is almost nothing out there beating that amount of coins per hour per square, even the #1 tree, the Acai tree only offers a revenue per hour per square of 54.96 coins per hour per square. And… although the chicken is also a 1 day animal it "only" produces 64 coins per hour making it after a very brief #1 location the #2 revenue animal in FarmVille.

So in other words: whatever object you are trying to generate revenue from drop all of that and start collecting these calves!

image365 The FarmVille Calf is the new #1 revenue animal

So if you have the chance to spend an hour or two behind the Facebook wall you should be able to pick up a massive amount of these calves.

If you use reserve a 5x5 squares block in the corner of your farm it will make you make you close to 35.000 coins a day. wow!

The golden chicken is the most profitable object in FarmVille

FarmVilleDate 155 (Sunday, November 22, 2009) 4 comments

After the change in income for chickens the golden chicken is now the most profitable animal in FarmVille:

In the regular animal table the storage buildings are not yet accounted for but a chicken coop (3x2=6)
delivers even more:

Where you first had:

(64 coins / 23 hours) *16 = 44.52, you now have 2.66 times that value on the same amount of spaces, in other words: 118,72 coins per hour per square. But since you can only have 1 chicken coop, the rest of the space will be golden chickens that do not fit in the chicken coop, so for 1 square:

(coop: 20*64 coins) + (outside: 10*64 coins) = 1920 coins / 23 hours = 83,47 coins per hour per square.

But even with the 1 coop limit with the 83,47 coins per hour per square it is the best paying object of all trees, seeds and animals currently (the acai tree "only" delivers 54.95 coins per square and the super berries only deliverd 34 coins per square)
