Default What do I receive for working on someones farm?

When you get hired to work on other peoples farm(s) you will get the following:
  • Crops: When you harvest crops for someone else you will receive 25% of the selling price of the crop that you are harvesting and you will receive 10% of the crop that you are harvesting.

  • Trees, flowers and fishing: When you harvest trees, flowers, chop trees or fish you will get 100% of the selling price instead of 25% like you get for the crops, since the crops you would receive more coins when selling, this was changed to try and balance out what the employee received for trees, flowers and fishing. You will also receive 50% of what you harvest, chop or fish compared to the 10% for the crops.

  • Plowing: When you plow someone else's farm you gain 5 coins and get 1 XP for each plot you plow.

  • Planting: You only have the ability to plant for someone else when you are a Super Neighbour for a neighbour AND your neighbour has given you permission to plant for them. For this you receive 2XP per plot planted.

Bonus Chest: When you are hired by a stranger from the market place, you can earn a bonus from the Bonus Chest. If you are hired by a Neighbour or Buddy you will not earn this so if you are participating in the Farm Pass feature you may need to be hired by a stranger depending on the type of goal you have to complete.
The work offer you receive will show either a blue indicator or a green indicator towards the top right of the request if a Neighbour or Buddy has hired you. When there is no indicator showing there is no connection and you are being offered work by a stranger.

The farmer that hires you will know if they are hiring one of their Neighbour or Buddies as they also see a similar indicator when clicking on an Avatar to hire.

Examples work requests form a Neighbour/Buddy:

When you are hired by a Stranger at the Job Marketplace the bonus chest will appear as you start working in the upper left corner of your game screen, just under where the coins and fuel are located.

Your Bonus consists of the same amount of coins and boxes you got for doing the job and also you earn XP for harvesting flowers, trees, chopping and fishing.

To be able to collect from the Bonus Chest you must complete ALL of the work on that farm that you was hired to do. If you don't see anymore work, but the Bonus Chest is saying there is more work to complete, you can do the following to see if there is something that is hidden. .
  • Reload the current farm. Make sure that it is the current farm only, if you click on a different farm that will end the Bonus Chest on the farm you was working on.
  • The eye icon in the bottom right corner set it to hidden (eye is fully closed) if it is not already set to hidden.
  • For each task you was hired to do, pick up each of the corresponding single tools and see if there is any work that needs to be completed.


If there is more than one farm you need to work and you navigate to the next farm to work, the bonus chest will automatically pop up with the either the bonus in it or it will tell you if there is more work to be done in order to collect.


If you complete the work and leave that famers farm without collecting your bonus there is a pop up warning you that you have not collected it and asks you to confirm if you want to do that. If you click the green check mark you collect the bonus and then leave the farm.

If you didn't mean to leave that farmers farm, click the red X then click on the bonus chest to collect your bonus then carry on to the next farm.




Note: The Bonus Chest works only if you are hired by a stranger in the Marketplace.
If you are hired by a Neighbour or Buddy you will not get a Bonus Chest.
