Return On Investment (ROI) in your Farm

Yeah you also have a ROI in FarmVille too, you need to consider the cost of the seeds and what they give back to you over time.

For example, one of the first plants you have access to are soybeans. They cost 15 coins to plant but you can sell them for 63 coins, which is 4 times the original amount you paid. However, soybeans take longer to grow than some other plants, so when you factor time into the equation they may not be the best choice.

The equation to figure out your ROI is ((Sale Price – (Seed Cost + 15)) / Time).

The “15? in the equation is the cost to plow your field for each plant.

For example, strawberry seeds cost 10 coins, give back 35 coins at harvest, and take 4 hours to grow. Plugging this into the equation gives us ((35 – (10 + 15)) / 4), which equals 2.5 coins per hour.

Soybeans give us 1.434 coins per hour, so strawberries are better for getting money than soybeans, as long as you can harvest them every 4 hours.

When deciding what crops to plant, you should consider how often you will play (to avoid dead crops) and what your goal is (to make money or to gain experience).

For gaining experience, the five best are Blackberries , Blueberries, Strawberries and Raspberries and  Aloe Vera, Ghost Chili, Pumpkin, and Tomatoes.

Remember FarmVille is always adding new crops and Seasoning crops as Candy Corn and Black Roses.
