Great Leap X Fast Reap: Smurfs' Village Tips
this is the 1st game I am playing for real
in 3 years time, after A-level
almost one month already
when I first played
was always missing out the harvest time
and if you don’t harvest within the harvest period
they would withered
but now
better management of time
since I changed the layout of my farm
moreover there is lower rate of accident
of planting the wrong crops
previously
whenever I planted the wrong one
I have to wake up in the middle of the night
to harvest my crops
or ended up harvesting the withered crops
in the morning
| Crops | harvest period | cost of planting (coins) | earning (without deduction of cost) | XP earned |
| Blueberries | 30 seconds | free | 1 | 1 |

| Magical Raspberries | 5 hours | 100 | 85 | 250 |
| Magical Blueberries | 1 hour | 60 | 55 | 110 |
| Green Peppers | 5 minutes | 5 | 9 | 10 |
* Fruity Fun Pack is required
Grapes, Pineapples, Cantaloupes
simple maths is involved
usually those with shorter harvest time
will bring higher yield
but usually
I am planting blackcurrant
despite of its lower return on coin
the XP return is high
let’s compare strawberry and blackcurrant
for 120 minutes
I may harvest two crops of strawberries
yielding 90 XP
but three crops of blackcurrant
yielding 180 XP
on the other hand
for return on coin
still based on a 120 minutes period
two crops of strawberries
cost 6 coins
and yield 24 coins
three crops of blackcurrants
cost 16 coins
with a lower yield of 20 coins
therefore it depends on
what are you seeking for
but of course if you have the time
the 5 minutes raspberries
and the cost-free blueberries
are the better choices
there are other ways of earning XP and coins
like some mini games
but it is limited to one round of game daily
because the bakery and lab would be
closed for cleaning
so what I always do is
plant some crops
while iBook-ing
and the 9 hours sleeping hours
to plant either corn or artichoke
one with higher yield on coins
and another on with better XP return
once in awhile
you may take a walk
out of your village
by visiting either
a random village / featured village
or even your friends’ village
and leave them a small gift
sweet
another attraction of Smurfs’ Village
is landscape design
moving the crops around
building fences
I stick to very clean layout since day 1
maximum utilization of land
and neat-est possible arrangement
enjoy visiting the other villages
it never fail to leave me in awe
how much creativity the other players
invest in their respective villages
