Keys are Farmville 2: Country Escape’s premium form of currency, and just like other premium currencies, you want to hang on to whatever you have for as long as possible. Sure, it’s tempting to use a Key to expedite a task, but you’ll do better hanging on to your Keys and focusing instead on simpler tasks while you’re actively playing. Save those long tasks for right before bedtime, so you can wake up to find that they’re already complete.
Check the Farm Orders Board and that will tell you what has to be done to earn yourself some extra cash. Sell the crops that you’ve planted and kept in your barn, and keep doing so as frequently as possible; new orders will be given once you’ve completed the old ones. You can also tap on the red “X” on the Orders Board and reject an order; once you do this, new orders will immediately appear.
There’s more than just selling surplus goods when it comes to Farmville 2: Country Escape’s Farm Orders Board. For example, you should only sell basic items (wheat, apples, corn, etc.) if you’ve got way too much stored in your barn; as they’re basic items, they won’t earn you that much. You will also need them to produce more complex goods. It’s also a good idea to sell your more complex products immediately after producing them, unless you need them for a quest.
Above, we said it’s not wise to use Keys for speeding up tasks. So what would you use them for then? You would need to use Keys for expanding and upgrading your barn; we’d advise you to go for the upgrade the moment one is available.
For each time you login and play Farmville 2: Country Escape, you’ll be allowed to spin a wheel once per day. Once this wheel is unlocked, you can go ahead and spin it, and the more days you login consecutively, the better the rewards would be when you spin the wheel. Of course, everything gets reset if you miss a day, so be sure to play Country Escape at least a few minutes per day.
