fastest way to level up

[Castiel]

what are you doing?

[Triss]

Plant and harvest yellow cloves. They bring 500 XP per piece.
Help on other farms and then activate the "goodwill points" in the city. They give you double XP.

From what I can see, you have played FT2 for a little over 13 hours.
The game does not rush you and as we have discussed several times in the forum, growing or leveling up will not give you any advantage.
You will never be offered missions with impossible objectives.
You will only be able to sow and collect elements that have already been unlocked.
So as far as I am concerned, the advice I feel like giving you is... enjoy the game without rushing.
Set objectives, it is right to do so, but do it enjoying the process.
If you take it as a race, you will probably reach your objective, totally exhausted and the game could annoy you.
Take it as a marathon, follow a correct pace and enjoy every moment of the experience that FT2 offers you.
Then of course, this is my point of view.
As they have already suggested, you will find guides on the web for a faster exp.
I didn't follow any of this because I started playing FT2 when these guides didn't exist yet.
I followed my own scheme and today, I have a nice 7 x 7 farm with everything needed to satisfy the requests of the missions or events.
I hope you find "your" way to play and that this can make you enjoy the opportunities of the game 100%.

My tips for leveling up fast (and I too only recommend leveling up fast for reaching specific goals that require it, such as unlocking terraforming so that you can make your flat farm as quickly as possible when you can't tolerate the hills and things) are: Keep busy during active play and plant the things that will give you the most xp that will be ready to harvest by the next time you will active play. Complete quests when you can but don't worry about them when you can't. Fulfill town NPC requests when you go to town to trade in Resources if you can without compromising your own goals. Conglomerate all of your trees and flowers and fish and animals and crops into compact or efficient areas so that you don't have to run all over your farm to get to everything. Have some of everything on your farm to save time when a quest for them comes up. Upgrade town stalls when you can but don't worry about it if you don't have to. Tend to as much variety of things on your farm as you can but don't worry about skipping them when it happens. Unlock new farm sections when you can to get free resources and more space for placing more things. Build Houses when you can and try to remember to hold on to Resources they will need while you are building them. Work on House tasks after you have a functioning House and as many as is prudent at a time. Have a place to plant "extra" crops so that if you finish all of your season tasks and still have time remaining before the next season, you can plant things to be ready for extra xp and profit later. Water crops and flowers as you go by them if they need it. Watering increases the value of flowers and shortens the growing time of crops. Keep animals fed and harvest them during your rounds if they are ready. If you run out of currencies or resources to do more things, make a watering round. Before you have Sprinklers on everything, everything that can be watered will benefit from being watered, even if the watering can icon has not shown up yet. Place Sprinklers on flowers and crop areas as you can afford them if you find yourself not being able to keep up with watering or want to expand to that point. Invest in fuel depots as you are able and place them in convenient areas near where you will be needing them. I would even recommend placing 1 or 2 fuel depots before leveling up the Garage stall in town. Take quick trips to the town to trade Resources when they are starting to get full and trade all Resources that are getting high down to low amounts, but keep some of each Resource for in case you may need it for upgrades or requests. Place and plant things that will give you the most xp per the time you have. You can look through the shop menu to see what will have the most out of what you have unlocked or you can check some of the more detailed Guides in the Guides section of this forum. It could be good to invest in some Wells and Windmills to supplement Coin and Diamond currencies. Wells are especially good if you tend to find yourself running out of Coins quickly and then you just stand around not doing anything else. Have enough of things to do to keep you busy during active play but don't worry about letting things wait if you need or want to take breaks and rests. Prioritize your tasks and methods for what will be best for you. Change things as needed when needed. Skip certain things if warranted and don't worry about it if you do. These things should be good for leveling farms and players.

If you are open to playing on others' farms, you can go help other people on their farms and that will provide xp for player level and Favor that can be used as Triss said.

As for what I personally do when I want to quickly level, I will mostly use the above tactics as they seem to work well for me, but I am a bit of a more casual player and will usually only try to fast level when I've created a new farm and want to hurry to unlock the things I already know I want to do but are higher level.

A few tips immediately come to mind:

1. Plant a small, permanent run of every crop you have and only harvest them when the season is correct for replanting. In other words, replant the same crop and harvest at the same time. This means that you will always make a profit on those crops every time you harvest them. This will stop you from running out of coins and ensure your coins go upwards continually. If you plant and harvest lettuce but then replant garlic, for instance, you will make an instant loss and your coins will go down, making it difficult to plant other crops.

2. I always tell myself to speculate to accumulate. Don't be afraid to spend all your coins just before leaving the game. Plant the most valuable crops you can and harvest them the next time you log in and repeat this just before you log off each time. Keep a field free for when you want to log out so you can plant a high profit crop before leaving.

3. Plant long rows of trees by season. For example, 9 apples, followed by 9 lemons, 9 pears, etc for all your spring trees, then complete another run of all trees which can be harvested in summer, etc. This can build up diamonds and experience points really quickly I would also plant single runs of each tree for quests. Don't underestimate the value of trees.

4. The more of each item you harvest, the more they grow in value so make sure you plant and harvest a good variety of crops continually.

5. Make getting around the farm as easy and fast as possible by teleporting to different areas or by placing things randomly between other things. This means that you can quickly pick up a long row of fish at the same time as you harvest a run of corn. Mix flowers in with trees to benefit from picking up both items at the same time.

6. Don't underestimate the value of wishing wells. They pay out 25 diamonds frequently.

7. Never harvest a crop without replanting something. If you want the land to be free for a quest but you don't know what you will need, plant lettuces which will only take up 10 minutes of play time but will give you experience points and extra diamonds.

8. If you have filled your farm with items but it is not working out as well as you hoped, don't be afraid to reset your farm. As long as your farm is fairly full of stuff, you can come out on top plus you will have more experience of what does and doesn't work for you.

9. The more you do on your farm, the quicker you level up, so while playing, plant reasonably fast growing crops so that you can complete several harvests during one gameplay. I planted and harvested a lot of lettuce, corn and Carolina potatoes in the early days and it worked well for me. And I reset my farms quite a few times while working out the best layout.

I currently have one farm on level 213, another farm on 179 and one on 54. Admittedly, I do spend a fair amount of time playing :) But the above tips have helped me get there.
