Farmville introduces Crop Mastery
Farmville announced on 09.29 that there will now be levels of Crop Mastery.

Levels of Crop Mastery in Farmville
Each crop will have 3 levels of mastery. With each level of mastery completed, you earn a star and will be rewarded with Farmville coins and XP points. The amount of coins and XP points varies depending on the crop that you are harvesting and the level you’ve mastered.
Here is a handy updated list of the 3 levels of Crop Mastery per Crop, provided by Farmville Freak, “Kearn” :
Crop Name : 1st star level / 2nd star level / 3th star level (mastery).

Too bad we can’t go back in time and be rewarded for all those crops already harvested!
Will this give those advanced Level farmers another reason to continue playing the game? What Special Bonuses can we look forward to?

I Guess we'll see what this does.

Take a look at those numbers again today. Sometime overnight they increased the harvest needed for each mastery level. I was 100 shy of level 2 grape mastery last night, now about 350 shy. Noticed that watermelons went up dramatically, level 1 is now 410, a lot lot more than the original 100.
Posted on October 2nd, 2009 at 6:34 am
I think there is some weird glitch on the mastery. i started planting strawberry seeds to gain mastery points. i now have 657/500 and it hasnt given me one star yet.
Posted on October 2nd, 2009 at 12:21 pm
The whole mastery thing is turning out to be rather sour feeling. Was cool looking at the beginning, but these glitches and changes are making it annoying.

I wish there would be a contest on "MOST BEAUTIFUL FARM IN FARMVILLE "
Posted on October 9th, 2009 at 12:17 am

Thank you Kearn for this useful list. We will be adding it to the post.
Posted on October 12th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
anyone figure out what the +XP means yet?????
Posted on October 12th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
XP= Experience Points. You need XP to level up. One way to earn XP is when you master each level of a crop, you receive XP points.
Posted on October 15th, 2009 at 6:15 am
Hey guys do u know how can i get an old duck and a dog and a cat ?

Posted on October 16th, 2009 at 1:14 am
These items have not been released yet. The picture may be a hint of what is to come.

“I wish there would be a contest on “MOST BEAUTIFUL FARM IN FARMVILLE”
I wished that too…i wud hav definitle won
lvl 42
Posted on October 17th, 2009 at 10:18 am
8. Wheat : 200/100/750 mastery with 3 days harvest time.
Is not correct ,
this should be
8. Wheat : 200/100/75 mastery with 3 days harvest time.
I am now at level 38, nothing much is hapening, busy with the materies, the expansions would come in handy
greats.
Posted on October 20th, 2009 at 8:24 am
Artichokes: Level 3 is 70
Posted on October 22nd, 2009 at 4:46 pm
The +XP means that some of the crops you plant after mastering the crop will grow larger, and you’ll get experience for harvesting them. I don’t think you need the sign on your farm to get the experience.
Posted on October 25th, 2009 at 9:16 am
The amount of plants needed for the third star on smoe of these plants seems a bit ridiculous. But I’m going to keep working on the mastery because there isn’t much else to do without any new expansions!
Posted on October 25th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
I still don’t understand what the point of mastery is. I have level 3 mastery for artichokes with this sign and all, and i don’t get any extra XP when i plant (or harvest) artichokes. Is there an advantage for me to keep growing artichokes or does this mean i have mastered that crop and should now move on to others??
also, why do two-day flowers wilt faster than two-day vegetables?
Posted on October 26th, 2009 at 7:14 am
I havent yet seen the ‘congratulations, we’re happy to introduce crop mastery’. When will everyone get it?
Posted on October 31st, 2009 at 2:22 pm
I have crop mastery for grapes and put the sign out. When harvesting your grapes with level 3 mastery and the sign out, you randomly get +2 exp when you harvest a grapes patch in addition to the +270 coins.
Posted on November 2nd, 2009 at 7:07 am
yo tengo el master en arroz y el de los girasoles nivel 3.y sigo plantandolo,la unica diferencia que he podido observar es que los girasoles tardan un dia en el nivel master1,23:30h en el nivel 2 y 23h en el nivel 3.pero no he visto que suba la exxperiencia cuando los cosechas,aparte de los 250 xp que te dan por conseguir el master de nivel 3.solo he visto de diferencia lo del tiempo,estoy en el nivel 34y ahora despues de haber plantado lo que no hay escrito que pongan esto para empezar desde cero con algunos fruto me parece fatal.ahh las bluesberries para conseguir el master3 hay que plantar 12000 ahy es nada.jajajajaja.pero bueno poco a poco supongo
Posted on November 3rd, 2009 at 11:14 am
I accidently deleted my sign that says PREMIUM grapes (+XP!) grown here! does anybody know how to get it back?
Posted on November 6th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
As soon as u reach the 3th star level such as for grapes, u will earn at that time extra XP points and coins also.
Posted on November 9th, 2009 at 11:12 am
How many crops does it take to get the mastery on Red Tulips, or any of the flowers? Thanks!
Posted on November 16th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
Where can you see your levels of mastery of any given item?
Posted on November 18th, 2009 at 10:24 am
I know someone that recently started a farm in farmville. They are at level 8. Crops mastery has not been available to them since the beginning. Does anyone know why?
Posted on November 21st, 2009 at 1:10 pm
I have a big feild of land on Farmville. I did artichokes and i caculated that i could get all 3 stars in one planting. Well when i harvested I only got the first star. My question is. “can you get more then one star at a time?” Like i said i have a big enough feild to get all 3 at the same time. So i was just wondering. Plz get back to me
Posted on November 23rd, 2009 at 4:15 am
Stephaine, mastery starts from level 10…
Posted on November 23rd, 2009 at 4:26 am
Edward, yes you can get more than one at the same time. I did the same thing for artichokes, and it worked correctly. Perhaps your farmville connection dropped or your farm bugged at that time, which sucks.
Posted on November 23rd, 2009 at 6:00 am
Edward – your calculations are wrong. If it says your target is ’275′ then that’s just up to the next star, whatever it is, not to completion of the the third one.
Posted on November 23rd, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Thanks. It sucked that i have to replant. And i know i had a big enough feild.
Posted on November 23rd, 2009 at 3:14 pm
BTW i was looking at the list above for the planting number for planting…and its wrong. Like alot…heres a link that actually gives the numbers….. http://www.silvy-ariyanti.com/games/crop-mastery-on-farmville-game-facebook/
Posted on November 23rd, 2009 at 4:11 pm
Does anyone know which crop is fastest to master? Has anyone calculated that out yet?
Posted on November 24th, 2009 at 8:48 am
soy beans are by far the easiest and fastest to master. ive also mastered strawberries, but crops like that with low harvest time keeps you very busy and cuts into your sleep time lol
Posted on November 24th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
After you master a crop do you have to keep the sign out to get the random premium crops? If you delete it or store it do you still get to keep it?
Posted on November 24th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
by keep it I mean do you still get the random premium crop bonus.
Posted on December 8th, 2009 at 1:23 am
not sure, but i sure hope not cause i just went through and deleted like 7 mastery signs
but i kept my peas sign cause peas are just awesome.
Posted on December 21st, 2009 at 10:06 am
Does anything happen when you master all 3 levels of every crop??
Posted on December 30th, 2009 at 11:42 am
I think your numbers are wrong now. For Artichokes 200/50/70
I am not sure if they changed things or not?
Posted on January 18th, 2010 at 7:43 pm
i accidently erased my mastery sign! Does anyone now how to get it back?

The XP for the mastery sucks.. After harvesting 28 000 blackberry crops, from a field of 455 squares, i only got around 200 XP. I’ll see next time if the No. of XP is the same. But, I’m disappointed. Looking forward to sell Everything and to plant only 4 days crops.. to have more time to sleep

When Harvesting your crops, you do not get XP unless that crop has been Fertilized!! you only get XP when plowing and planting and after you have mastered that Vegetable/Seed!!
Posted on March 28th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
Where do you GET the mastery sign?? I mastered several crops already , Got the nifty pop up message and all that… and have no idea where my crop signs are….?! I have looked everywhere. Can someone tell me where to find my signs?
Posted on March 28th, 2010 at 11:20 pm
Kathi, the Crop Mastery Sign can be found in your FarmVille Gift Box.
Posted on March 30th, 2010 at 4:39 pm
So this is a little off topic, but how do you take the photo of your “entire” farm, like to submit it to the farm photo contest? when I try to use the one on farmville’s thing, it crops it with this red box and only gets a portion of it. I have no idea how these people get their whole farm in these pictures. Can someone tell me how to do it please?
Posted on April 24th, 2010 at 8:33 am
Andrea : You could probably set our farm in full screen mode and do a print screen (Locate the PrntScrn key on your keyboard. Once you have your farm in full screen mode, simply press the PrntScrn key. Then go to MS Paint or any other photo editing program and press Ctrl + V)
Hope this works for you!

does anyone know how much goji berry needs to be harvested for level 3 mastery?
Posted on June 23rd, 2010 at 6:04 pm
Can someone post the updated mastery requirements?
