Blue Fellows X Green Melons: Smurfs’ Village
is quite a high-hit post on Stephysiology
even until today
therefore decided to compose another post here
a few user-friendly tips for the
rookies players of Smurfs’ Village
use the tips at your own risk
I feel like sharing
because I really have come a long way
this is the first ever game I downloaded
since Nov 2010
and am still an active player right now
well, not that I own a featured village or something
but for past few months
before the recent update to Level 45
my village has been static
because it has achieved the maximum level
earned XP doesn’t contribute to anything
but actually the XP was being stored
and whenever there’s an update
your XP will be automatically credited in
Tip #1 Never let strangers messing up your village
it happened to me twice
where I lost a couple of Smurfberries (quite a couple)
because the tablet fell into wrong hands
you know how precious the berries are
and they were using the berries
to harvest petty plants like Strawberries
all I could do was to keep quiet
because you can’t really scold or ask for compensation
and can’t even explain how much does it cost
anyway, people can just get away like that
“take it easy, it’s just a game”
dang.. this was one of the culprits
caught red-handed
I thought he was quite familiar with the game
but that’s something I never expect
probably the village he has been playing
didn’t even have a single berry left
that’s why he was happily wasting them away
it’s okay.. it’s okay..
Tip #2 Practical Ways to Spend Your Smurfberries
earning, saving, spending
they go hand-in-hand
when you have like 30 Smurfberries
it’s about time to consider spending them
it depends on your motivation
if you want hot chick or cuties
building a house for Smurfette or Baby Smurf
is not a bad choice
but don’t expect them to contribute much
in terms of golds and XP
if you are an artist or a designer
invite Painter Smurf to your village
since he can paint all the fences / benches etc
with whatever colours you like
but if you are looking for something
which will provide long-term aid
it would be Farmer Smurf
he makes crops around his house worth more
but don’t expect much, again?
since there would be less than 10 patches of land
which benefit from this bonus
and the increment is pretty low
but the best thing he can do
is to harvest all crops
with a single click
it works perfect
especially when your crops are
on the verge of withering
“Plant All Crops” is another wonder
Farmer Smurf’s can do to your plant
but prepare to spend an additional 15 Smurfberries
for an Farmer Smurf’s “hidden” update
before he is ready to do the job for you
Tip #3: Smurfberries Sales
it happened once in a blue moon
updates and items are offered at a lower price
at fewer Smurfberries, I mean
two weeks back
Tailor Smurf,
the one who sew pirate, scholar etc hats
super fanciful one, for fellow Smurfs
was offered at 15 Smurfberries
instead of 30
wow 50% off
but it was damn frustrating
because you need to have 30 Smurfberries
which is the full price
in order to qualify for the discount
in order words
they want you to pay in full amount
then offer the 50% rebates
and the best thing of all
I had 27 Smurfberries in my village
then later on
I spent 20 Smurfberries at the next sales period
on Farmer Smurf
who originally worth 25 berries
not the best buy
but since I was planning to hire him,
quite some time ago
it doesn’t really matter
actually my ultimate aim
is still to get Tailor Smurfs
and grab all the fanciful hats
for my hardworking villagers
Tip #4 Long Term Financial Investment
when you proceed to higher and higher level
money starts rolling in like dirt cheap
buying decorations would be good
but your village will soon run out of space
butterfly is a good investment
- 20 golds and 60 XP / 2 hours
- looks good, because it is forever flipping wings
- only take up one square of space
my butterfly farm
I call this part of the village
S.I.P. Smurfs’ Industry Park
Tip #5 Lagging Issue
I used to encounter this quite often
maybe because my tablet is the old first-generation
it is either lagging and causing wrong clicks
or I can’t enter the village at all
exiting to the desktop, automatically
switching off all the other running apps
or restarting the whole system
both didn’t work
the only solution is to
turn of the Wifi
everything was solved, immediately
but I must say that
the apps developer has been doing quite well
in constantly updating the game for the better
eg, now it can run simultaneously with music player
before that,
somehow feel too lazy
first, return to the village to harvest crops
then have to turn the music on again
before putting down the tablet
now just stay in the village
while enjoying the music
thanks a million,
from a multi-tasker like me
Tip #6: Night Mode
I hate night mode
the night falls after 7p.m.
everything turns dim
doing much harm to my already-spoilt eyes
all we get to earn at night
is a 400 XP on a daily basis
for comforting Scaredy Smurf
not worth it, for the discomfort
just turn it off at the Option column
24 hours sunny village is still preferred
Tip #7: Perseverance is The Best Policy
you may start late
but as long as you strategize the planting
at your own pace, on a constant basis
your Smurfs’ Village will flourish fast
and what you earn
although they are not real monetary value
or eligible crops
(that’s what my dad always says,
I am working way too hard as if the melons are eligible)
somehow it brings loads of satisfaction
to see your Smurfs’
hanging around when they are free
working hard when they are at farm
and harvesting the juicy, colourful crops
yum yum yum…
drooling over my favourite vegetables at fruits,
oopps…
day in day out,
nothing is more exiting that a seasonal update
Happy Smurfing,
all the Captain Smurfs out there
