NEW PLAYER ?s

​Let's get this out of the way 1st: I'm a 55 yr. old grandmother of 2yr. old triplet girls. I'm a relatively smart, educated woman, but I am so behind the curve on "gaming" and technical jargon.


i am so sorry if I am posting these concerns in the wrong area. If I am, or there is a better place to ask the questions, please help an old woman out! LOL.






1) I've seen these, DD, BEM, LEM, SEM, and other acronyms mentioned in posts, for what do they stand?




2) When a player, such as myself, goes to another farm and sees the "!," which I understand indicates "help" is needed, if I help them, are the resources used to help their farm deducted from my farm's resources?




3) I feel like I'm "spinning my wheels" because I don't seem to be gaining materials, levels, coins, and diamonds quickly. I have lost diamonds several times; I think because I accidentally touch the "lightening" button. I feel like I'm "buying" what's available in the "market," but I'm placing, feeding, harvesting, creating, loading the truck, collecting the coin, and then starting all over....getting no where quickly. I've been playing for about 3 weeks, but I'm only at Level 22, with 10,700 coins, (the only reason it's this high is because of the "Doubling Event"), 3 diamonds, and 1 voucher. I REFUSE to "buy" coins/diamonds, etc. with real US $ currency. I watch all the "movies" (ads) to collect diamonds. I can't increase my silo past 125, or my barn past 100 because I'm missing "parts," so I have to sell items to make room. Any suggestions? I couldn't find a "players manual" to find these answers.


I honestly appreciate any help that anyone might lend.

hi grandma! I am a grandma as well, 57 years old but my grand daughters are 5 and 7. I just started playing a few weeks ago and I'm hooked

1.
DD stands for daily dirt. That's the newspaper you can buy stuff from
BEM stands for Barn expansion materials. Like bolts, planks and duct tape
SEM. Is silo expansion materials like screws nails and wood panels
LEM. Is land expansion materials. Like deeds, mallets, and stakes

2. Yes when you help someone, the stuff comes out off your stock, but you get money and points for it.

3. You DO NOT HAVE to buy diamonds with real money. I never buy virtual money in any game. As far as your level, that's not bad. I am where I am because I have no life. I play this game way too much. Don't tell anyone but I woke up in the middle of the night, made sure my husband was asleep , grabbed my ipad and proceeded to send Tom off to buy some shovels. Lol. There is a post here that has a lot of tips but unfortunately it is not stickied to the top or linked to in the guide post. I emailed it to myself and will try to figure out how to link to it. But I prefer to level up more slowly because the higher you go, the more complicated it gets. I even tried to start over,but this game doesn't allow for that without wiping your device. Also a lot of us accidentally lose diamonds due to clumsy fingers. There are techniques for avoiding that by not collecting them if you can untill you need them or as I do, spending them ASAP by adding slots on your dairy or sugar machine. So don't feel bad about that. That's why I will never buy any.

have fun, feel free to add me on Game Center (GC) I'll go look for that link now

Here it is. http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...ttle-things%29

Tigg

If you look around the forum you will find lots of great advice. But here's a quick summary:

1) I've seen these, DD, BEM, LEM, SEM, and other acronyms mentioned in posts, for what do they stand?DD= daily dirt, the newspaper. EM= expansion material, B=barn, L=land, S=silo

2) When a player, such as myself, goes to another farm and sees the "!," which I understand indicates "help" is needed, if I help them, are the resources used to help their farm deducted from my farm's resources? Yes for boats, but no resources are used for trees.

3) I feel like I'm "spinning my wheels" because I don't seem to be gaining materials, levels, coins, and diamonds quickly. I have lost diamonds several times; I think because I accidentally touch the "lightening" button. I feel like I'm "buying" what's available in the "market," but I'm placing, feeding, harvesting, creating, loading the truck, collecting the coin, and then starting all over....getting no where quickly. I've been playing for about 3 weeks, but I'm only at Level 22, with 10,700 coins, (the only reason it's this high is because of the "Doubling Event"), 3 diamonds, and 1 voucher. I REFUSE to "buy" coins/diamonds, etc. with real US $ currency. I watch all the "movies" (ads) to collect diamonds. I can't increase my silo past 125, or my barn past 100 because I'm missing "parts," so I have to sell items to make room. Any suggestions? I couldn't find a "players manual" to find these answers.

If you need coins, it is best to sell in your shop, if you need XPs, it is best to run trucks. I bought almost nothing from others when I was at lower levels. Concentrate on making items that you find sell well at max price.

To get more expansion materials be sure to harvest your crops regularly There is a procedure called "wheating", where you repeatedly plant and harvest wheat (or another crop actually) and then immediately put it up for sale in your shop at a great price just so you can get expansion items. You may need to concentrate on one type of expansion at a time, and you can trade others on the trading thread for whatever you need, just know that BEM is much more valuable than SEM and LEM-- check trading ratios in old posts!!

Oh, and look in your white house, that is a list of achievements, when you accomplish them, you are rewarded with diamonds. I recommend doing captain and turbo trucker achievements soon before you have many more items that your boats and trucks will ask for, for more info see the links in my signature!

(Just so you know, I have never bought diamonds... and many other high level players haven't either!! And I am also "granny aged".)

I am new to this community and often find myself as an outsider on the forum. I am 40 and like you I am well educated and smart woman, mother of two girls. Add me in GC and I will be happy to help your farm and your boats.
It is really difficult to play at start when you are tight with barn and silo space, and when every coin matter. My advice is add as many friends as you can to open more crates at your shop, sell your fast growing crops at default price, apples and berries at max, there are always someone who needs them Produce diary and sugar non-stop and if you don't need them for your shop sell a small quantities for max or help friends during double coins event.
well I might add some more advices but these are some basics. Good luck and enjoy game.

You have a bit of an advantage because not many players have the movies which will give them diamonds, so just that alone will help you expand your slots etc faster than others can.

avoid levelling up until you get a bit of money behind you because levelling up just requires you to buy more equipment! So sell in your shop, post free ads to do that. If you want to sell quickly find the items that take awhile to grow, or just sell them for a little below the maximum price.

apart from that, enjoy the game! There's no rush to get to any particular point, except the pressure you out on yourself.

Thank you all, Tigger129, MarySc, Cosmo2503, and Tweezle, for ALL of your answers, tips, and advice!!! It helps me so much, but....it also brings a few more questions :-/

1) When I sell my crops/items for the "max" price, how do I determine the "max"? When i have placed items for sale, it already has a quantity and price listed. Will the game automatically give me the lowest price? I have increased some items, like pumpkins, which took a long time to produce, but I'm not sure about a "max" price.

2) I used "Tom" 3-5 times when I was in a pinch, but now, "Tom" seems to have gotten a little too big for his britches!! LOL
He wants 15 diamonds for 1 day, 60 for 5 days, and 100 diamonds for 10 days. First of all, I only have 3 diamonds, second of all, "Tom" doesn't have a Phd. in "go-fering" as far as I know, so that's ridiculous!

3) I do not have a boat because I can't earn the 16,000 to repair the dock...so no boat????

4) Other posts mentioned stacking the "crafted" items next to the "machine" to save barn space, but I can't keep mine from going into storage, nor put anything else into the machine without collecting. Any idea how to do this?

5) I've been selling lots of items to the characters that show up on the farm because they usually offer more coins for them. Do y'all find this too be true?

6) I have the "text" below on my forum page. What do they mean, as in do I need to change something in my profile? This is way too technical for me!

7) Finally, how do I add you as "friends"? And, please add me too!

I truly love that there are women (my age) out there playing also. I feel so...I don't know...weird, like I'm trying to play the game with children...

PS: Tigger129, I woke up at 3:30AM this week, grabbed my iPad, and "worked my farm"! LOL My husband of 33 years was out of town for his "Fly-Fishing" week with his buddies!!

Hello,
1) your max price is determined by pressing the plus button on the right of the price when you put the item up for sale, until it increases no further. You can decrease or increase quantities, it will automatically put up half of what you have, maximum is 10, by using the negative or plus buttons either side of the quantity.

2) I don't use Tom, but many do. He''s only really self-funding after you have a mine, shelters and jewellery maker, as he can help you mine for diamonds to reimburse his cost.

3) Yes, it takes time to earn money to pay for the dock, but you will get there..... And everything else needs to be saved up for too. Produce and sell as much as you can, and earn as much as you can before levelling up.

4) you can only stack up stock if your barn is full, then you can carry on producing goods and it will stack up at the machines. In order to be utilised however, they need to go into the barn first.

5) I think the reason you think the customers offer more money is because you haven't been maximising your prices in the shop. You will find maximum prices give a higher yield.

6) Don't know!! Too technical for me too.

7) You need to be registered in Game Center and request friends through there, using their GC names.

Good luck:)

Thank you so much Spanielgirl for the tips!

I'm still confused on the stacking. After the item has been placed in the barn and my barn is at maximum, how do I then take the item out of the barn to stack it?

Stacking is not really the correct term. Storing is really what happens. All it means is when your barn is full you can continue to produce goods. The items will just "stack or store" next to the machine. And all that Jargon about code html etc. it looks like you were not logged onto the forum.

You can't stack items already stored in the barn. However, if needs be, you can still continue to produce items in machines when the barn is full and they will stay 'stacked' next to the machine when they are made until there is space in the barn. If you don't need to use a machine, if you don't tap an item it will stay next to the machine until you put more on to be made.

Okay...SERIOUSLY!!!

I'm "trying" to add friends....uh ummmm....like y'all!

I'm already logged into Game Center on my iPad. I typed Spanielgirl....no luck....I typed spanielgirl.....no luck. Game Center says I have "no request".....gosh I FEEL SO S T U P I D!!!!

Does "no request" mean no one has sent ME a request or that I haven't sent a request!!! Maybe I should just clean closets instead of try to play games...I'M SOOO TECHNOLOGICALLY CHALLENGED!!

stacking is good for things like the turbo truck achievement, but it can be bad because in order to stack your barn must be full and if your barn is full or close to being maxed out, you will undoubtedly find someone offering 10 bolts or deeds and when you excitedly click to buy them, you will be chastised by the your barn is full notice. Then you'll go back to your farm, sell something you wish you hadn't later when you need it, rush back to the farm selling those bolts only to find out they are gone gone gone. Can you tell its happened to me one time too many?

Ok getting serious now. sometimes you will want to stack so you have to keep in mind that once you make something, you will free up space somewhere in your barn or silo. it goes something like this

Fill up your barn by collecting eggs or milk, go to a machine and make something, lets say butter. This will free up a couple spaces in your barn. now if you go to the bakery that has bread ready to be collected, and try to make pancakes, since your barn has some space in it, the bread waiting will fly up into your barn. In order to make a new product without collecting whats out there, you have to go back to the animals for instance and collect again untill the barn is full again. on the ipad its not so bad but if you play on your phone or itouch, you will be going back and forth all over the place.

so the pattern becomes: collect eggs, fill barn, make a product, collect more eggs till you fill the barn, make a product, collect bacon till you fill the barn, make a product, collect more bacon filling the barn, make a product, etc. keeping in mind that your last product should use up enough material to allow you to collect feed to feed your chickens and pigs or they won't be available to fill your barn the next time. I use bacon and eggs as my last one since it frees up 6 spaces in the barn and allows me to collect 2 bags of feed, but the minute you feed those hungry shivering critters, you've made space in your barn again, and will have to collect something if you want to keep stacking.

oh and if you don't have eggs etc to collect, i will collect sugar and dairy products because they are needed to make a lot of products.

first you are NOT stupid

requests mean someone has requested to be your friend or sent a challenge.

What I do to add friends is I open up a text file or even an email message and cut and paste the user names listed here on the forum separated by a comma and a space. you can then go to game center click the add friends from the requests tab or the + on the friends tab. you can then select all the names you pasted from your text file or email, copy and paste them in the box. you can send a bunch at one time, but then you have to wait till someone accepts your friend request. There is a post going around where people put their GC id to get added. i go to the most recent one and start cutting and pasting since those are the folks who currently play and want friends. stick yours their too and just wait for the requests to come in. delete the email or text file and your done.

You must have figured it out because I just accepted your friend request. ;)

I've also sent you a pm. If you look on the upper right side of your screen you'll see "notifications", and there should be a (1) -- or more, lol... there. You can click there, or just check by clicking "private messages" in the bar under the header, "it is the second item.

MarySC and Tigg, you are both SO KIND to keep helping me....Hopefully, I'll be able to repay your kindness one day, if I could, I'm sure it will be MANY, MANY days from now!!! LOL

Yes, I now see that both of you are my "friends"!!! YAY!!!!!

Thank you, Mary I did see your email. You have so much information there, thank you again. :-)


I "think" I have been "stacking/storing" without even knowing that I was actually doing it! Bahaha....old people, whatcha' gonna do with them!!!

I sent a friend request also! You can never have too many. I'm a HayDay addict, and I found these forums great for answering questions in the beginning also.

grandmamakk, I am OLDER than you, lol! I just sent you a request.

oh and I forgot. Those "little People" who walk up to your house and ask to buy something. Unless there is an event going on, I rarely sell to them. They are not too smart. They will ask for things you have none of. The only good thing about that is it tells you that you need to make some DUH!!!

They will also ask you for stuff you have the most of. That is good.

There is a thread here somewhere and it might be the link i gave you already, that talks about the best way to get barn and silo stuff. (stuff is my favorite word). Anyway it says that the best way is to make and sell lots of wheat. they call it wheating. you will fill your silo with lots and lots of wheat and since everybody does it wheat starts to go on sale at the default price ( that's the price that comes up automatically when you click on the item you want to sell. For ten wheat, that is Ten coins. you can click on the plus sign and max that price up to 36 coins and they will probably still sell at that price. After a while you'll get so many than you will sell them at the default price of ten or even the minimum of 1. The little people will always ask for more than that.

Corn is another way to get building material and I can sell corn at the max price but it might take a little while. (I think some of my neighbors have a popcorn jones.) The little people also buy corn at a decent (but not max) price. I also sell them eggs. Everyone always has eggs for sale and they will eventually go at max, but most folks sell them for less than that. Don't sell them fruit. That always sells well in your shop.

Lastly what is cool about the little people is that they can buy more than ten at a time. The more you have, the more they buy. Some people only collect eggs when they need them to keep the barn free for other stuff. I collect eggs all the time so the little folks can buy them. Might not be the best but it works for me and it's fun to all of a sudden have a half empty silo because the wicked witch bought 67 wheat.


Tigg

Grandmakk, I am from Texas too! I will add you in Game Center (GC). Having a lot of friends really helps you when you start doing boat orders. I echo what the others are saying about game play. Also, read the forum and learn about the unofficial "etiquette" (like buying from the last slot in the store if something is priced really low...don't do it!). Mostly you will find that everyone has a different style of playing and that you can choose to play the game however you want. For example, I waited for a long time to expand all of my land, just sold all the LEM at max price until I was about level 40. That helped me gain more coins for which I could buy machines. A lot of people make bacon/eggs and sell at max price but that doesn't sell well and you could use the store slots for other items that do. When you get diamonds use them to open up empty slots on your sugar/dairy/cake machines. Once you get more coins, open the mine because then you can replenish your diamonds by digging/blasting. And you are lucky to get the movie option. That is only available to some and not all players. Enjoy Hay Day and look for my friend request.

GrandmamaKK, my GC name is Spanielgirl 19, it's written in my signature at the bottom of my postings:)

I forgot that it really helps if you have an avatar so that those of us with a lot of friends can find you quickly in our list.

Also put your level in your signature. It took me a long time to figure out that the friends list is in order by level. my son was always at the end and his name starts with V so I thought it was alphabetical. That was until someone with a lower level became my friend. anyway. it's easier to find you in the friends list if we can see a picture and know what level you are.

But then you have to remember to update your signature as you level up. Such trade offs!

LOL LOL. that is so funny. You totally made me laugh out loud with that one. I'm still chuckling to myself.


My tip... I don't remember when the Mine becomes available but if I were to start all over again, I would not get the mine til after Level 35 or so. IMO, too much coin/time spent in the early levels of the game with not enough reward.

I'm not saying never buy the Mine or Smelters, just not necessary to get it as soon as it becomes available. If anything, just open the Mine when you save up the coins just so you can get the diamonds. About 1 out of every 5 to 8 times you mine you will get a diamond.

You can always sell the ore on your RSS since you will never see a truck order asking for ore.

Hi there, GrandmamaKK!

I'm a granny myself four times over, and my youngest one loves to farm with me, although I have to keep a firm grip on my IPad or all my hard earned diamonds will disappear quicker than wheat during a locust plague!

All the advice you've been given is excellent and I really have nothing extra to contribute except to say Welcome to the Hay Day Addicted Club, and I'll be sending you a friend request as well. My early levels might have gone easier if I had cultivated more neighbors, but like you, I felt technologically challenged and didn't dive in head first. Once I got my toes wet, and discovered how great a group of people Hay Day players are, it's really added to my gaming experience.

Happy Hay Daying and looking forward to being a neighbor!

I generally don't sell to the "walkers" .....they offer to buy way too low. I know it sounds weird to say this, but when I quit selling to the walkers I actually noticed that I made more money. One of the things I like to do to make money (and waste lots of time) is to browse the DD looking for the " ! " and seeing if I can fill boat orders. Never sell things like berries or apples to the walkers.....you can make way more in the DD. I do occasionally sell eggs or bacon to the walkers if I notice I have a lot on hand.

By the way, I'm a "bit" older too and my family thinks I'm crazy spending so much time on here....have fun!

I have also sent you a friend request and echo these sentiments. I have 4 grandchildren and they started me on hay day and like to help! I only found the forum after I had been playing for a while and wih I had found it earlier.

Happy farming

Welcome!! Everyone has given great advice for starting out.....I wish I had found this forum earlier than I did. I'm not too far behind you age wise:rolleyes: either. This is definitely the place to come to find some great neighbors!! :o

Hi ladies,

Maybe this is not the right place because I'm not a new player, but I am a new member of this forum and reading all this I wonder if I should join you?
This is my first post, so at first I introduce myself:
I am also no teenager anymore (63), single mother of 3 and grandmother of 2 (girl some more then 2 years old, boy 6 months).
I play Hay Day for several months now (since June I think), every day (and much to long, every day; my house becomes a mess more and more).
Level 45, achievements 76 (Captain III, TT III, Co-op II) and feeling a bit lonely cause I do not have many Hay Day friends. I switched a lot in farms I followed, picked up 28 followers somehow (most of them 'dead' by now or much lower level). Now I have some 'friends' I like and I'am trying to be a good friend for them too. Problem is that I cannot offer a nice shop most of the time. 1 of my much higher level followers is very active, is helping me a lot, but also when he is around he raids my shop the moment I put stuff in it (he seems to smell it!), leaving nothing but some dull things like wool, beans and indigo. There are days that I feel completely isolated by him, even not being able to advertise cause everything is gone before I am done picking things for my stall.
So I try to help by filling crates, but my resources are limited and often my neighbours ask for things I am not able to make yet.
So far I hasitated to try the add-GC-friends because of this, and because I'm a little bit shy and hesitant to new things (not used to GC) and because of English not being my native language, and while I wonder if becoming friends through this forum isn't giving timing problems? I am from the Netherlands, some of you are from Texas, so it seems inconvenient to be 'neighbours'; half the world (and 7 hours?) is between us!

I have another question: I see many of you sharing your GC id here (Emhael is not mine btw); doesn't that give lots and lots of friendrequest? And if so, what are you doing with them? Accept all, or the most? I've wondered about the lots of followers some players have; I find it a problem just having a few....

So ladies, what do you think, should I give it a trie? And if so, which of you wants to be added as my friend?

I started out with one friend from work and it wasn't until I had been playing for several months that I found this forum in May. After reading lots of posts, I finally sent out a few friend requests and it made the game more fun for me. In the past month or so I have had a lot of friend requests and so far I have accepted them all (I have just a little over 100 neighbors). At the moment I only have 5 followers. The only thing I have noticed with the increase in neighbors is it takes me a little longer visiting each farm than it use to. If you ever decide you would like more friends, feel free to send a request. :D

I normally don't play games that require lots of friends. They annoy me. This game doesn't require them but they make it interesting. I have posted my I'd on the sharing thread and as you can see it is in my sig. I have accepted all requests and only unfriended one person who kept changing his farm name to something vulgar that you might see in a porn film, if you get my drift. My kids watch me play, they don't need a lesson in disgusting.

I'm another newbie and I have just started exploring the forums. I never thought to look here.

i have found this thread extremely helpful, and I would like to send some friend requests. I've been doing this on my own and have helped many random strangers, and have received help in return. However, it would be nice to have some friends.

I'm stacking a lot; began to do so for Captain III and after that TT II and III; helped a lot. I always be sure to have room for at least 10 items before scanning DD but this time I forgot I had bought 1 hamburger for my next boat when my cat noticed me it was feeding time (real cat, not a Hay Day one). After that: back to a fresh DD and boom!!! 10 nails on the first page; I need them desperately. 'Your barn is full' .......... Stupid! Stupid!

Ladies, thanks for answering my questions; tomorrow I will try to send you a GC friendrequest (if i can find the time, very busy the next few days; I m taking care for the kids until Tuesday) Now I am going to sleep; it's 2 oclock in the night.

Feel free to add me. I would be happy to try and help. My shop is almost always empty also due to a couple of aggressive followers. I am also in The Netherlands though and have several friends from here. I do go back home to USA every few months. Your English is awesome by the way. Don't let it deter you from posting on the forum and enjoying yourself.

welcome to the forum. The time difference between countries does not interfere with the game at all, if anything it enhances it because different players are playing and contributing at different times. For me that means even at 2am I can still have friends filling my boat or buying goods from my store. I'm insomniac and have odd playing hours. The only issue I've ever encountered with a language difference is when someone keeps raiding my store (buying everything up and not leaving some for others) and I've changed my store name to read "please share" or something like that and the guilty party doesn't read English. That is just part of the game though. I welcome "friends" from all corners of the globe and understand that not everyone knows English. As far as adding friends via the Game Center, I find its better to do that because then you can always delete the person if they get greedy, if they have vulgar messages on their road stand sign, or if they no longer play.
