What do I earn for working farms for another farmer?

When you are hired to work on another farmers farm(s) you will get the following:

• Crops: 25% of the selling price of the crop that you are harvesting PLUS 10% of the crop that you are harvesting.

  NOTE: When you have the Employee Lifeline for a Regular Quest this means that when you work for other farmers you would need to harvest 10 of a crop for every 1 you need for your Quest.
  
  Example 10 x Wheat are needed to make 1 flour. You would need to harvest 100 wheat when hired to complete the Wheat step in your Quest.

  
  
• Trees, flowers and fishing: 100% of the selling price of the trees, flowers and fish PLUS 50% of what you harvest, chop or fish.
  
  
  
• Plowing: When you plow on another farmers farms you earn 5 coins per plot AND 1 XP for each plot you plow.
  If you are only hired to plow, the plots must be harvested or the crops must be wasted.
  To be able to use a combine you would need to be hired to do both Harvesting Crops AND Plowing and you will need Fuel.

  NOTE: To plow NEW plots, instead of plowing existing plots you would need design permissions for that farm and permission to use their coins as plowing new plots always costs the farm owner some coins.

  
  
• Planting: You will only have the ability to plant for someone else when you are a Super Neighbour for a neighbour AND you have permission to plant for them.
  In this case you earn 2XP per plot planted.
  The cost of the Seeds you plant come from the farm owners coins.
  If your Super Neighbour permissions allow you to harvest crops, plow and plant, and you use a Harvest-Plant Combine, you earn 3 XP per plot.
  1 XP is for the plowing part, 2 XP is for the planting part.
  You will also need Fuel.
  
  
  
  
• 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 farmer that has a connection to you as a Neighbour or Buddy you will not earn the Bonus Chest..
  
  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:
  
  
  
  
  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 your coins, Farm Cash and Fuel amounts are located.
  
  Example:
  
  
  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.
  When you click on the Bonus Chest to claim your reward for finishing all the work on a farm, your rewards consists of the same amount of coins and boxes you got for doing the job. You can also earn XP for harvesting flowers, trees, chopping and fishing.
  
  Example:
  
  
  
  If you don't see anymore work and when you click on the Bonus Chest to claim it you see a message that there is more work to complete, you can try the following to see if there is something that is hidden or if something became ready to work while you were working:
  
  
  • Reload the current farm. In the Farm Selector Grid top left the farm you are on will have a yellow colour in the grid. Click on it to refresh that 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.
    
    
  • Pick up a specific tool that the message says you have not completed yet. For example, the single harvest tool, the axe, the fishing rod, the single plow tool.
    When you have picked up the tool check if you can see an EYE in the bottom right corner of the farm screen when you are using a tool, check if the EYE is red or black.
    If it is Black click on the EYE to change it to red then everything not related to the the tool you are using at that time or is not ready to work with automatically be hidden for you.
    
    
    Some causes of this can be from putting too many items on a farm causing a corruption, refreshing a farm can show items you could not see if something was placed in the exact same spot as another by mistake.
  
  
  If there is more than one farm you need to work instead of claiming the bonus chest before you leave the farm, you can also just go to the next farm to work without clicking the bonus chest to claim it. In this case the bonus chest reward will automatically show with the either the bonus in it or it will tell you if there is more work to be done in order to collect.
  
  There is a pop up warning you that you have not collected it and asks you to confirm if you want to do that.

Remember: The Bonus Chest can only be claimed 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.
