Great Trick for XP - The Architect Ribbon

While going through the accomplishments needed to complete my ribbons today, I noticed that I was 6 buildings away from the Red Architect Ribbon. I looked through the Buildings section in FarmVille...but everything seemed to cost too much to be worth paying for to complete a ribbon.



Then, it occurred to me that I already had 2 Rest Tents (@ 1,000 coins apiece) and both were counting towards my building total. So, I went ahead and bought enough rest tents to complete my ribbon, and talk about value!! Take a look at these statistics for cost / XP were you to buy only rest tents to fulfill the Architect building requirement. Note that '# Tents' is how many more tents it will take to fulfill your requirement, not the total number of tents needed.





Yellow Ribbon

# Tents Gross Cost Total XP Net Cost XP / Coin



2 Tents 2000 Coins 120 -1500 0.08



White Ribbon

# Tents Gross Cost Total XP Net Cost XP / Coin

4 Tents 4000 Coins 290 -1500 0.193



Red Ribbon

# Tents Gross Cost Total XP Net Cost XP / Coin

9 Tents 9000 Coins 590 -4000 0.147



Blue Ribbon

# Tents Gross Cost Total XP Net Cost XP / Coin

15 Tents 15000 Coins 1150 -5000 0.23



Total

# Tents Gross Cost Total XP Net Cost XP / Coin

30 Tents 30000 Coins 2150 -12000 0.179







This may only be a one time XP boost...but for 12000 coins, you get 2150 XP! Thats .179 XP for every coin you spend, which is totally worth it! And, if you sell your rest tents after you finish your ribbon, you only spend 10500 coins on 2150 XP (.204 XP / coin)! And this little trick is pretty much an automatic level up (unless you are really high up there)!.



So today's moral: Buy 30 Rest Tents, sell them, and enjoy having a ton more XP than you did a few minutes ago!
