( Lesson 22 ) Ribbons

Share
Another way to get some coin bonuses is to earn one of the many ribbons available. There are actually 14 categories of ribbons, and each category has 4 levels. You’ll start out by earning the Yellow ribbon in a particular category. As you advance in that category, you’ll progress to the White, Red, and finally Blue ribbons.
As your performance and farming accomplishments increase, the higher ribbons you earn will result in bigger and bigger payouts. These accomplishments span the spectrum of farm activity, so you’ll likely earn some ribbons without even meaning to.
It’s a good idea to pay attention to your ribbons though and what you need to do to earn more of them. Each time you get a ribbon, you get awarded a substantial sum of cash, as well as a hefty chunk of experience points. By clicking on the ribbon icon in the bottom right hand corner of your screen, you can bring up a list of the available ribbons and what you personally have to do to earn the next one. The game keeps track of your progress in each individual area, so all you have to do is check back from time to time to see which ones you’re close to achieving and what you need to do to get there.
The required tasks may be as simple as “harvest fruit from 8 unique trees,” or “harvest 10 unique crops.” While neither of these tasks is particularly hard to accomplish, it can play a role in determining what seeds you plant and what trees you buy. Similarly, making progress towards earning ribbons can guide your decisions on how many of which type of animal to keep and how many buildings to put up. There’s a ribbon for each of these, and so if you know what you have to do to get the ribbon, you’ll come out ahead every time.
