Bumble has another tip for FarmVille addicts. After you have reached level 10, you will be eligible to master crops in FarmVille. Each crop you harvest will count as a mastery point towards become an expert in farming that particular crop. This of course begs the obvious question, what do I get when I master a crop?
Obviously there must be something more in it for you than the sense of accomplishment at mastering your craft. Perhaps some small token for all your hard work? For most of us we will never get to stand aboard an aircraft carrier under a banner and declare “Mission Accomplished”. So what is the next best thing? What else…
A gold star!
Yup, nothing says “this wasn’t a waste of time” like a gold star!
There are three levels for each crop. At each level you will be justly rewarded with a gold star, and some additional coins and experience points.
Here is the payout for each mastery level.
| Level | Coins | XP |
| 1 | 500 | 20 |
| 2 | 1500 | 75 |
| 3 | 5000 | 150 |
But wait there is more! After reaching level 3, you also get a cool sign for your farm that touts your dedication (and addiction). After become a true master, you have a chance at every harvest becoming a “Premium” crop. Premium crops appear larger and are worth more experience points too. So keep harvesting those raspberries little farmers.



The more I learn about this game the more I loathe myself for being addicted to it.
