Zynga : YoVille (tips)

Earning coins

• -Working in the Sweets Factory is a new feature in Yoville. If you go in the Sweets Factory once a day, you get a bonus of between 80 and 100 coins. Baking cookies gives you the biggest profit margin if you can successfully bake and sell cookies 4 times a day.

• -The bigger your crew, the more your reward. Build up your crew to 50 to get the maximum reward each time you bake.

• -When you do your "coin runs" (the 20 friend visits you are allotted each day), use only the "Leave a Message" or "Give a gift" feature. These two options give you the biggest reward, between 15 and 20 coins per visit. The other options don't give you as many coins.

• -Play your allotted games each day. People in Yoville refer to this as "maxing you", because you are only allowed to win 20 games each day. Getting maxed each day gives you 200 additional coins.

• -Visit www.yoville.com. Many players don't know about this option. There are two ways to earn coins at yoville.com. You earn one water balloon every 10 minutes. You can throw a water balloon on your profile or on the profiles of your friends. You are rewarded with one bar of soap. You use this bar of soap to clean up one water balloon splat, which gives you 5 coins. You can splat and clean up without limit. The only thing you need to know is that you can only throw one balloon per visit on a profile. You must navigate away from that profile and then go back to clean up the splat.

• -The other way to earn coins at yoville.com is to do the visits that pop up. You earn 5 coins for turning on the lights and for finding a pot of gold. In addition to those visits, as you visit your friends' profiles, 10 additional pots of gold will show up on their profiles. Those are worth 5 coins, too!

Experience Points
You get experience points for baking, visiting friends, buying items, and playing games. These experience points will help you to level up. Each level up gives you a new feature to the game. Inside hint: You get 25 experience points for winning a fishing game, which is worth 2 1/2 friend visits!

Buying Yocash Items without Spending Money
-If you don't want to spend real money on yocash items, but you really want the item, look for it at the forums at www.yoville.com. There is a subdivision called "Trade". People will list items that they wish to trade. If you don't see the item you want, create your own thread requesting the item. Typical trade value for yocash is 1 yocash per 400 coins. You can barter here and there, but 1:400 is the typical ratio.

-You can also find items listed under events on your Yoville screen.

Trading Items
-Be careful who you trade with. There are "scammers" in the game who love to find someone to dupe. When trading, make sure that you don't check the "Done" box until both sides have posted the terms of the sale. In addition, hover your cursor over the item you are purchasing to make sure that the item is correct.


These hints will help you to improve your gaming experience in Yoville. Befriending a veteran player is another way to get guidance in the game. Good luck!
