In
order to make rapid progress in the game without spending you will need to have
farm accounts. Farm accounts will help you get resources much faster which will
enable you to keep both your building queues and your investment queue busy at
all times.
This
post is going to tell you everything from the basics of setting up farm
accounts to more advanced stuff like how to upgrade and use these accounts to
get the most out of them. You can take a look at this video if you don’t want to read the entire post:
1. Setting
up your farm
In
order to create a farm account, you will have to start a new game. To do that,
click on your avatar at the top left of the screen. Then go to settings (bottom
right). Then select Account. Finally select ‘Start
a new game’. HOWEVER,
BEFORE YOU START A NEW GAME, MAKE SURE THAT YOUR CURRENT ACCOUNT IS BOUND TO
GOOGLE PLAY OF FACEBOOK OTHERWISE YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR PROGRESS. Also, before
you start a new game make sure you know which city you are in. This will make
it easier for you to teleport your farm account to the city in which your main
account is.
Once
you start a new game, you’ll be asked to
build and upgrade a few buildings and train a few troops. Once you finish doing
those tasks make sure you bind this account immediately to a google play or
facebook account that is different from the one you bound to your main. To
bind, go to Settings –> Account –> Bind Google.
Once
you’re done binding your account, you will
have to teleport to the city in which your main account is in. To do this,
select the map option that you can find towards the bottom left of the city
map. Once you do this you will find the miniature city map, select the globe
option which can be found at the bottom left. This will take you to the world
map. From here, you will be able to move to the city in which your main account
is.
Once
you move to your original city join your main clan or farm clan & start
upgrading your farm account immediately. You can easily get it to mansion level
6 or even 7 in one day. Make good use of all of your speed ups and don’t hoard them as you will have to level
up your farm to Mansion level 15 as soon as possible.
2. Leader
Skills
You
should have 3 different types of farms –
Cash, Cargo and Arms. Depending upon the type you can choose to invest your
skill points in different growth skills. For example, in case of your cargo
farms, you would want to invest your skill points in all cargo skills & in
case of your cash farms, you’ll want to
invest them in cash skills.
I
wouldn’t recommend
creating separate farms for metal mainly because the skill tree only allows you
to choose between cash, cargo and arms. To unlock metal skills you will need to
get your farms to level 31 which is very difficult to achieve on your farms.
So, it’s better to
farm Metal as your secondary resource on all 3 types of farms. (I’ll go into the details when we discuss
Robbing)
3. Babes
For
your farm accounts, you should unlock all resource production skills, troop
load skills, single crew training increase skills, hospital capacity increase
skills and the advance gem making skill. You don’t
really need to max out all the babes in your farms to unlock these skills. Here’s a list of babes along with the
recommended favor that you should get them to:
Diana
(180 favor): Getting Diana to 180 favor will give you all her resource
production skills and Troop load skills. The remaining skills are not very
useful for your farm account so it doesn’t
make a lot of sense to upgrade her beyond 180 favor.
Mai
Hanano (300 favor): Getting Mai to 300 favor will increase your training size
by 50 and it also unlocks the advance gem making skill which will allow you to
rob green quality gems at the lapidary complex. With the advance gem making
skill unlocked you won’t stop robbing
gems even if you are offline for more than a day (if you have 6 gem making
slots). The remaining skills are mainly battle skills and are of no use to your
farms.
Grace
(1000 favor): Grace is the only babe that you should max out on your farm
accounts. Her first 2 skills increase the hospital capacity by 3000 & her
last 3 skills increase the single training size by 150 and troop load by 10%
Catherine
(270 favor): Catherine should be upgraded only upto 270 favor to increase the
hospital capacity by 5000. All her other skills are battle skills and are not
useful for your farms.
Karina
(620 favor): Upgrading Karina to 620 favor is enough to unlock all her resource
production skills. All her remaining skills are battle skills.
4.
Equipment
Just
like babes, you don’t really want
to get battle equipment. I would recommend getting equipment that gives you
more hospital capacity, more troop load and in case of your cash farms, more
cash production. Again, since it is your farm account, you don’t really want equip any equipment
beyond blue quality. This is mainly because the equipment that give good buffs
are usually high level ones & it will take you ages to get high level
purple or higher quality equipment. So just stick with blue.
5.
Investment
Depending
upon your farm type you should invest in resource production and robbing speed
of your primary resource (cash, cargo or arms, as the case may be).
For
all your farms you should invest in the following: Troop load (Transporter),
Hospital Capacity (Hospital Expansion), Healing Speed (Medical Training),
Training Size (Recruitment Mobilization), Durability (Wall Reinforcement), Gem
Making speed (Gem Making Speedup)
Obviously,
you would also want to invest in crime ops crew as well when your mansion
reaches level 6, level 11 and level 20 to unlock extra marches which will allow
you to rob more resources. If you’re done with
the investments mentioned above then you can also invest in troop upkeep, other
equipment properties and metal production & robbing speed.
6. Roadster
‘Tidal
Wave’ is probably
the best roadster for your farm accounts as it gives you a 40% increase in
resource production and a 10% increase in resource robbing speed. However, it
costs a total of 8736 normal points which is a lot to get on your farm accounts
so I wouldn’t recommend
getting it.
The
‘Bullet’
(The first roadster that you get in the game) gives you a 5% resource
production boost and a 2% cash robbing speed boost which is pretty good.
However, if you can get 31 more normal points on your farms, you’ll be able to equip the 2nd roadster ‘Mr. Freeze’ which gives you a 10% resource
production increase and a 2% robbing speed increase. Which is a little better
than Bullet.
7.
Buildings and Troops
As
I mentioned earlier, you want to get your farms to Mansion 15 as soon as
possible so that you can start farming metal as well on all of them. So try to
rush your Mansion and get there as soon as possible. Don’t waste your time upgrading all the
buildings. The main buildings that you would want to focus on for your farms
are the Mansion, the Wall, the Invest Center, the Hospitals, The Resource
production buildings (for your primary resource and for metal) and the black
market. Also, if your farms are in the clan that your main account is in then
you would want to upgrade the clan club as well so that you can reinforce your
farms in case they get attacked.
Initially
you will want to have 8 clubs so that you can train a lot of troops. Make sure
you get these clubs to level 3 at least initially to train more troops (you’ll be able to get them to level 4
without having to wait once you reach VIP 4).
You
should only train Tier 2 vehicles on your farm accounts and no other troops.
Tier 2 vehicles have a low training cost, low upkeep and a very high load which
makes them ideal for robbing resources. If you have the ‘Transporter I’ property at level 10 (15% increase in
troop load) and Diana at 180 favor (5% increase in troop load). It should only
take 16,500 T2 vehicles to completely rob a normal level 7 resource point. So,
in case you have 5 marches. You would only need to have 82,500 T2 vehicles to
rob 5 level 7 resource points. Once you train 82,500 T2 vehicles & have a
hospital capacity of at least 82,500 (having 8 level 15 hospitals, Hospital
Expansion I property at level 10 & babe grace at 120 favor will give you a
hospital capacity of 83,000) you can get rid of your clubs. Just keep one club
in case you need to upgrade it for any quest. Now you will be able to build
more smelters which will allow your farms to produce more metal.
8. Robbing
It
is hard to increase the metal robbing speed mainly because unlocking the metal
robbing skills require a very high level (level 31). Also, the cost of
investing in the metal robbing speed property is high.
The
best way to equalize the metal robbing speed with the robbing speed of your
primary resource is to rob metal when the ‘Getaway
Drivers’ skill is
active which doubles the resource robbing speed for 2 hours. This skill has a
cooldown of 20 hours so you can use it at least once everyday. If you login to
your farms 4 times a day, you can do metal one time with the skill activated
and your primary resource 3 times.
If
you have 3 farms, 1 cash farm, 1 cargo farm & 1 arms farm, you will be
farming metal one time per day on each of the 3 farms. And you’ll be farming cash, cargo & arms 3
times each as well in their respective farms. This way you’re equalizing the amount of cash,
cargo, arms and metal that you farm per day.
The
only problem with this strategy is that whenever you need metal, you will have
to farm all of your farms. Which is why I suggest that you only rob metal on
your main account so that you won’t need metal a
lot.
9.
Donations
Make
sure you donate as much as you can on your farm accounts as this will give you
clan honor which you can use to purchase resource production buffs from the
clan store. Using a resource production buff will double the resource
production of a resource production building for 24 hours (It will double the
base production as well as the bonus production that you get from skills and
investment). Using these resource production buff items on high level resource
production buildings will give you a lot more than what you donate. So I always
recommend donating as many resources as you can on your farm accounts (there’s no need to donate gold, just
resources).
10.
Buff Stacking
The
main reason why you want to have separate farms for cash, cargo and arms is
because the leader skills are structured that way. If you have a general farm
that farms all resources, you won’t be able to
optimize the resource production and robbing speed because all your skill
points will be distributed among all these 3 resources which will reduce your
farms efficiency significantly – which means
lower buffs and lower robbing speeds.
To
show you how powerful the resource buffs can be let’s take a look at an example. I have a
Mansion 15 cargo farm which has 10 cargo hubs. Each cargo hub produces a total
of 6332 cargo per hour {2346 (Base production) + 3986 (Bonus production)}. So,
all 10 hubs produce 63,320 cargo per hour or 1,519,680 cargo per day (or
2,152,880 cargo per day if I use the shakedown skill twice). Now, if I use a
buff on a cargo hub, the production goes up to 12,664 cargo per hour {2346
(Base production) + 10,318 (Bonus production)}. So using 10 buffs will boost
the production to 126,640 per hour or 3,039,360 cargo per day (or 4,305,760
cargo per day)
Now
this is only the amount that one farm will produce from it’s resource production buildings. If you
have enough troops to rob 3 cargo hubs on the map at a time and if you login 3
times on your farm per day to rob cargo, you’ll
get (396,000*3*3) 3,564,000 cargo from robbing. Add that up with the resources
produced and a Mansion 15 cargo farm will give you around 8M cargo per day when
buffed and around 6M cargo per day when not buffed. That’s the amount that one farm will give
you. If you have 4-5 such cargo farms like me, you’ll easily be able to get 24M to 40M
cargo per day.
So,
this was the entire farming guide. I hope this post will help you start farming
or if you’re already
using farm accounts I hope it will help you improve your farming technique. If
