Boosts

Timed items that give you more XP, coins or crops, or make crafting faster, for an hour or two.

Boosts are items you keep in your barn and switch on when it suits you. While a boost runs, a small badge in the farm’s top bar shows it; tap it to see how long it has left.

The boosts

Boost Effect Lasts
XP Boost +25% XP 1 h or 2 h
Coin Boost +25% coins 1 h or 2 h
Yield Boost +1 crop on every harvest 1 h or 2 h
Craft Speed Boost Crafting 30% faster 1 h or 2 h
Smelting Potion Refinery 20% faster 1 h
Friend Crop Boost Crops grow 10% faster 30 min
Friend Craft Boost Crafting 10% faster 30 min

Boosts do not take up barn space.

Using a boost

  1. Open your barn and switch to the Boosts tab.
  2. Tap a boost and activate it. The timer starts right away.
  3. A speed boost also speeds up what is already growing or crafting, not just what you start afterwards.

Only one boost of each kind can run at a time. You cannot start a second XP Boost while one is active, for example, but an XP Boost and a Coin Boost can run side by side. Friend boosts are the exception: a second one adds another 30 minutes to the one that is running.

Where boosts come from

Tips

  • Save XP and Coin Boosts for a session where you deliver a lot: a full Harbor boat, a truck or a stack of orders. Visitors and orders pay the boosted amount.
  • Start a Yield Boost right before you harvest a full set of fields, then replant and harvest again while it lasts.
  • Start a Craft Speed Boost while every crafting slot is busy with long recipes.
