That will unlock five gates with five gold to spare. The amount you get corresponds with how many stars you earn.ĭon’t use your gold for anything but unlocking gates. Particularly the first several times you fight him, spending beans is just a waste. Give it at least one play and see if you can manage it without.

You can use magic beans to give your matches a little more punch, but you should never do so on your first round of any given Rancid stage. You do so by collecting a target cropsy to reduce his health to zero. You’ll have to fight Rancid pretty regularly. You don’t want to use them only to fail the stage anyway.ĭon’t waste your magic beans on the first round against Rancid the Racoon. Just remember to hang onto them until you’re almost finished a stage. Now, it’s a very long cooldown timer, sometimes up to a full day, so don’t just use them willy-nilly, but if using a booster is the different between passing a stage or failing it, go for it. It feels so weird to say that about a King game, but Farm Heroes Saga gives you one free use of each booster with a cooldown timer attached. Examine the board and try to plan your moves to make them happen. Don’t just look for these kinds of matches by happenstance. Other matches greater than three will add points to other cropsies on the board, making it easier to reach your quota, but five in a row is definitely the big prize here, even more so than in Candy Crush Saga (Free). Matching five cropsies in a row will harvest all of that type of cropsy from the board and usually set off an awesome chain reaction. Keep your eyes open for opportunities for special matches, especially five in a row. Of course, it’s important to prioritize the previous two points, but if you’re lucky enough to have a choice, go low and horizontal. Horizontal matches are better than vertical matches, as well. This is a pretty well-known match-3 strategy, but making matches lower in the field increases your chances of making a combo when incoming blocks come in.

Making matches near the bottom of the play area will benefit you. Similarly, once you’ve reached the quota for a particular target, it’s best to stop making matches of that cropsy until the others are filled. I hope this goes without saying, but if a match doesn’t boost or harvest a target cropsy or set up a chain, it’s not really worth wasting a turn making it. This is especially important in cases where a cropsy type is rare or in limited supply. Matching them will boost the value of the ones you’re really targeting. Instead, look for matches beside the cropsies you need. The way the quotas in this game are set, unless you’re extraordinarily lucky, you’re not going to have enough turns to get everything you need with simple basic matches. Make an adjacent match before going for any quota cropsies. Also a little different from other King games, you don’t have to worry as much about your score, because meeting the main stage goal will automatically mean you passed the score threshold, too. Like other King puzzlers, there are different stage types, but unlike the others, the basic goal isn’t really all that different between them, so instead of my usual format of giving advice for each stage, I’m going to follow my general hints with some specific advice for dealing with the special obstacles you’ll find as you progress. It’s possible King will implement another means of passing those gates in the future, as with some of their other games, but for now, part of clearing every stage for free necessarily entails Facebook shenanigans. At the moment, you will eventually hit a gate, around stage 105, that you can’t go past unless you pay real money or connect with people via Facebook. I should start off by being clear about one thing, however. I recently sunk a lot of time into this one for our review, and have worked out some tips and advice to keep you moving through the game as smoothly as possible, without shelling out big bucks. The quotas on some stages are pretty high, so you’ll want to have a gameplan for harvesting as many cropsies as possible in your limited number of moves.
