FarmVille Crop Mastery
Category: farmville, game | 200,011 viewsFarmVille Crop Mastery / FarmVille Mastery. Farmville just update Crop Mastery, so now each crop will have 3 levels of mastery. With each level of mastery completed, you earn a star and will be rewarded with Farmville coins and XP points.
For one star, you need to complete the mastery number of each crops. Fulfill it with harvesting your crops. For 1 harvest plot, you earn 1 mastery. Collect it until you gain the whole stars 
The amount of coins and XP points varies depending on the crop that you are harvesting and the level you’ve mastered.
This Farmville Crop Mastery Guide credits to Reex
The Newest addition to Farmville is Crop Mastery is unlocked after reaching level 10
Much like the “new-ish” ribbons when you have harvested a certain amount of a crop, you get a popup that gives you a coin and xp reward.
there are 3 levels of Crop Mastery to achieve for each plant.
If you open up your market there should be stars under the crops in the when you purchase seeds.
Each crop has an amount of harvests needed to reach each level. the number of plants you need to harvest is determined mainly on the time it takes to grow.
For example to achieve Level one for strawberries (a 4 hour crop) you need to harvest 500
And To achieve Level one for Water melon (a 4 Day crop) you need to harvest 100
ploughing = xp points (1 per square)
planting = xp points (0-3 per square depending on crop)
harvesting = coins (sale value depends on crop of course)
harvesting = mastery points (1 per square harvested) + 1xp for some “mastered premium crops”
Once the required amount is harvested you gain a reward of
Rewards :
Level 1 – 25 exp & 500 coins.
Level 2 – 75 exp & 1500 coins.
Level 3 – 250 exp & 5000 coins.
You can post on your wall that you just got a crop level up and your friends will gain coins
Level 1 – 50 coins.
Level 2 – 100 coins.
Level 3 – 150 coins.
Apart from the small coin bonus at level 1 and 2 there is NO CHANGE to the coins or xp you will get from harvesting a crop.
Crop Mastery level 3
Once you have achieved Level 3 mastery of a crop, there is a chance that any crop of that type planted in the future will be a “Premium” Crop. A Premium Crop will appear larger than other crops, and will provide you with 1 XP when it is harvested!
All crops after mastering level 3 will have the chance of having premium crops grown.
Initial reports show that the amount of premium crops is anywhere from 15 to 50%
FarmVille Seeds XP list :
e.g
Plowing feild + 1xp
Planting peas + 3xp
waiting…
Harvesting % of Premium peas + 15-50% 3xp
For a feild of 400 Peas
400 + 1200 + (30% premium) 360
1960xp per rotation, instead of 1600.
After obtaining Crop Mastery level 1
Your Harvest count returns to zero and you need to harvest an additional x number of crops
For example:
After harvesting 425 grapes, you need to harvest an additional 850 more.
So to gain level 2 of the “Grapes Mastery” you will need to harvest (425+850) 1,275 Grapes.
On the Completion of Level 3 you gain a Mastery Sign.
FarmVille Mastery Sign
This is the mastery sign for soybeans
Apparently, Mastery Sign can’t be sold
but It can be deleted 
The sign is deletable via the delete tool.
After the initial Release and the realisation that it would take only Nine Months to complete Level 3 for every crop, The numbers of most crops were increased. To now taking over a year to master every crop.
After the release of Crop mastery most of the numbers were changed.
I’ll use the example of Corn.
Before the update the harvests required for Corn was,
Level 1 – 150
Level 2 – 300
And now after the numbers were updated the harvests required for corn are.
Level 1 – 425
Level 2 – 215
If you gained level one mastery before the update after harvesting 250 corn,
they didn’t take the level one away from you, instead they just want you to make up the amount you should have harvested for level one before you move onto level 2.
your numbers would be -175 because if you were doing level one after the updates, you would be 175 short of achieving it.
Before the update there was 15,200 harvests to be made to get every crop level one and now you need 22,245 for level one for all the crops.
They also made the relationship between crop levels and number of harvest harder to guess. because of the inconsistency.
E.g Sugar cane before the update was
Level 1 – 900
Level 2 – 18,000
and now it is 1300 For both levels.
I’m doing my best to collate the new information but because the numbers are unpredictable you can only really trust the Numbers higlighted greeen.
Here is the amount of harvests that you need to make to advance a Mastery level.
ghost chilli : 1200 | 2400| 9000 |Total : 12.600
Update: you can see flower mastery in FarmVille Flower Mastery
E.G. Watermelon
Level 1 – 500 Strawberrys.
Level 2 – 1,000 Strawberrys.
Level 3 – 3,750 Strawberrys.
After getting level one you need to harvest and ADITIONAL 1000 Strawberrys.
The real requrements for Strawberrys are
Level 1 – 500 Strawberrys.
Level 2 – 1,500 Strawberrys.
Level 3 – 5,250 Strawberrys.
Before the update: With the current amount of crops available you needed to harvest a total of 159,600 crops to master then all.
Now: With the current amount of crops available you need to harvest a total of 185,802 crops to master then all.
Total is the total number of harvests.
Growing time is expressed in hours.
Rotations are the total amount of times a 20×20 farm with 400 plots needs to be replanted.
Total Time is expressed in days
(Growing time x Rotations / 24)

yeah i just completed mastery on soy beans and you get a sign with a picture of soy beans on it which can not be sold
October 7th, 2009 at 6:11 am
I think we should all get a reward on the crops that we have already harvested. However I don’t think they had the different crop counters included in the code before the upgrade.
October 7th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
How are you keeping track of your mastery points? Is there a counter (similiar to # of coin) that I’m missing?
October 9th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
Pity you only seem to get xp and coins. I would like the bonus to be something like, more money per crop or a quicker grow time or something like that.
So its a bonus that keeps on giving rather than a one off…
October 10th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Once the mastery of Crop is completed u get XP instead of Mastery points..
Check this out.. this is a extra bonus that u get on mastering a crop
October 18th, 2009 at 11:32 am
if you run your cursor over the stars area=it will show a counter of how many you have done over how many you need
October 21st, 2009 at 8:51 am
Thank you for information.. I rather die for the cropmastery right now….
October 22nd, 2009 at 4:10 am
Do you have to do anything to receive this mastery sign? I got my third star in Soybeans, but did not receive a sign.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:14 am
I reached crop mastery in grapes earlier today, but when I harvested a crop I planted last night, I did not receive any mastery XP, as people have stated. Do you have to plant them as a mastery crop then harvest them as a mastery crop to get the XP?
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:14 am
Jackie, the sign should appear in your gifts.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:28 am
It seems like where you leave your sign, ANY crop you grow, whether it is mastered or not, has a chance of being premium. Either that, or my broccoli is sparkling for no apparent reason.
October 24th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
The sparkling could also be because a friend fertilised your crops when they came to help out on your farm.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
Since they’ve added the Ghost Chili and Flowers, will you be posting the updated chart for their Mastery levels? You’re charts are awesome!
October 27th, 2009 at 12:00 am
I havent yet seen a ‘crop mastery’. Since I was one of the first to get the crop whisperer, would I be the last to get the crop mastery?
October 27th, 2009 at 6:00 am
haha, don’t worry about that dear. I think many people still haven’t get the crop mastery
October 31st, 2009 at 2:41 am

This Mastery is a crock you work you fanny off for a small bonus and no extra xp points for them after you recieve your 3rd star.. my husband and i both have our 3rd star and all you get is a small bonus for all that hard work this is ..well i cant say what i feel but.. im sure you know… all i have ever recieved from mastery is when i was trying to get to the 3rd star now that im there nothing… every1 told me you will get 1 extra xp point after you reach your 3rd star everytime you plant that crop ??? no truth to that … all we have gotten is a Puny bonus and nothing else for planting … whats the deal here … we are not very happy farmers right now..

and thanks for the info ^^
November 23rd, 2009 at 2:42 am
My premium crops don’t do anything either (ZERO extra points). I think the friends fertilizing the farm messes with the “premium” crop. Bummer and what a waste of planting!
December 2nd, 2009 at 12:31 am
Hi: I have not gotten any credit for a while in trying to master Strawberries, Cranberries and a few other crops. I plant & harvest but the meter seems stuck. How can I get this to work? Is there a glitch? Thanks
December 5th, 2009 at 2:44 am
Hi. I dont know if here is the place to my question but i dont know where i must go, so: I can’t go into my farm since 3 days! Someone know tell me way?

December 14th, 2009 at 2:00 am
When you get the mastery in a plant it makes it so that you recieve 1 extra experience for each plant that has been fertilized by one of your friends (a premium crop is what it’s called). That’s why when you get mastery in for example grapes the sign says “Mastery Sign PREMIUM grapes (+XP) grown here.
December 14th, 2009 at 5:07 am
Any ideas of what to do since I accidentally sold my mastery sign for artichokes? How could I get another one? Thanks.
December 14th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
I’ve mastered 7 crops, artichokes, yellow melon, grapes, eggplant, red wheat, wheat and peas, and the signs really don’t do much, you get exp bonuses every so often, but most people like me once u get the mastery you almost never plant that crop again, since you are going for the next one. so to me the signs are just for looks
January 9th, 2010 at 12:17 am

I mastered them all……
January 11th, 2010 at 2:47 am
how did u do that i only have soybeans
January 23rd, 2010 at 7:14 pm
It is impossible to mastery them all by now. Summing the number of required mastery points multiplied by the growth time for each crop gives a total of 2613636 plot*hours. With a 24×24 (576 plots) farm, you need 189 days of growing time to master all the crops (2613636 plot*hrs / 576 plots = 4538 hrs = 189 days). The 24×24 expansion just came out a couple days ago. With a 22×22 (484 plots) farm you need 225 days (2613636 plot*hrs / 484 plots = 5400 hrs = 225 days). This is the growing time required to master all the crops. It does not account for the time wasted when the crops sit fully grown and when you are harvesting/plowing/planting. Crop mastery came out in the middle of October, or about 100 days ago. Not possible.
January 25th, 2010 at 8:45 am
I think the one who mastered them all have more than one account =)))
or maybe plays through his account and his friends’ accounts ..
I can’t think of any other way =))
January 25th, 2010 at 10:51 pm
Just to make everyone aware, you don’t get the XP for a mastered crop unless you have the sign displayed on your farm, if you delete the sign you lose the ability to get the credit for the XP when you harvest a mastered crop.
February 3rd, 2010 at 12:04 pm
^ thats incorrect. you do not need the mastery sign to get the xp bonus.
February 6th, 2010 at 11:10 am
i’ve mastered daffodils, soybeans, eggplant, wheat, squash & yellow peppers…and have all my signs displayed…and have never received bonus xp points for harvesting more of any of them. the mastery seems like a waste of time in my opinion – since we’re not getting anything extra after all is said and done.
February 7th, 2010 at 12:52 pm
I think the xp bonus happens when you are planting you need to watch for this. The bonus only occurs for a certain percentage of the crop also. I read this somewhere today, some have 40% and some have as little as 10%. The only way you can tell is when you are planting them. I’ve never had the patience to watch and as soon as I finish one I move on to the next. Trying to get the killer ones done right now, blackberries (2 stars) , blueberries (2 stars) and raspberries (1 star).
February 19th, 2010 at 4:03 am
I was going after the Pumpkin mastery but now that I achieved level 20 I think I will start seeding tomatoes instead of pumpkins.
What is better for leveling up? To master many crops or just to focus on 1 or 2 crops and gain more xp. Which is the best crop to master to increase xp points?
Thanks
February 25th, 2010 at 3:32 am
You do NOT get the bonus xp when you plant the seed. You get them when you HARVEST the crop. If you are not getting bonus xp when harvesting mastered crops, then you have not finished mastering the crop and are confused about how and when mastery kicks in. It will start only after you complete ALL 3 stars
. If it’s still not working, then it’s unfortunate that your account is bugged… albiet that that’s doubtful, sorry. Good luck!
March 3rd, 2010 at 10:03 am
I’m level thirty and have never received a mastery notice … how do I get on this part of the program??
March 3rd, 2010 at 2:46 pm
if i delete the sign how do i get it back and would the preminium crops still happen ? pls tell mi anyone ?
March 5th, 2010 at 5:24 pm
Great piece of info and resource, just what I was looking for! Thanks.
You should also take a look at this farmville crop chart as it contains all crop information, profit sources, mastery numbers, and heaps more! I have it saved on the desktop.
Thanks again for a quality crop mastery page Light Chan!
March 12th, 2010 at 6:08 am
What are Mastery Coins? I’m getting them and have no idea what there for.
March 17th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
I just found if you put your mastery sign in storage it can be sold from there for 500 coins!
March 20th, 2010 at 6:21 pm
I can,t get any mastery points for harvesting-two days now:(
March 20th, 2010 at 6:36 pm
In two days i lost 63+156=219 points:((
March 24th, 2010 at 7:29 pm
Hi,
I just finished another mastery for lavender, level 3, and have YET to get any mastery signs. NONE. I’ve mastered over 15 crops, and never once received a mastery sign, and there is always room in my gift box because before each time i log on, before harvesting or anything, the FIRST thing i do is empty my gifts and then i delete all of the wilted flowers and replace them with fresh ones to make room for the ones i harvest, so there has always always always been room. Even today, my gift box is empty other than the 3 arborists in there and 3 fuels, and i did NOT receive any mastery sign, and i even reloaded FV to be sure before posting this.
I’ve read each posting on this website, and no one has yet been able to answer this question, except to say that the gift box must be full, and i know for sure that is not the case with mine!!!
Any help or information would be so greatly appreciated.
Thank you:)
March 24th, 2010 at 7:37 pm
Note: ** My comment regarding my not receiving any mastery signs read:
…”and there is always room in my gift box because before each time i log on, before harvesting or anything, the FIRST thing i do”…
And it should have read:
…”and there is always room in my gift box because each time i log on, before i do any harvesting or anything else on my farm, the FIRST thing i do is empty my gift box and delete droopy flowers and replace”…
Thank you

When you have mastered all 3 levels of a crop you will notice that some of the crop will look larger as if it has been fertilized by a friend, though it has not. If you mouse over these crops the word “premium” is displayed. If a friend fertilizes a premium crop and you mouse over the crop it clearly displays “premium” and “fertilized by friend”. When you harvest these you are given an xp bonus that you would not receive if you had not mastered the crop. This bonus is displayed onscreen when you harvest the crop.
I hope this clears up any confusion you might have.
The signs do not affect the bonus you get for mastering level 3.
Missing signs are due to the implementation of more farmville features, including the farmers market, which will add more bonuses for crop mastery. You may or may not receive your missing signs. Either way they are purely aesthetic and do not grant any bonus, so other than not having teh sign you are not missing out.
April 4th, 2010 at 4:02 am
You can sell a mastery sign after you put it in storage. I got 500 coin for each one of mine.
August 12th, 2010 at 2:40 am
Is anyone going to answer how do we gt another sign if ours is gone. Can’t Farmville just send us all new ones or let us sign up for another one and get his solved?
August 15th, 2010 at 6:38 am
Vicky – I have the same problem — lost one of my signs but would really like to have it back –but so far theres no way of reclaiming it.. some of my family have also lost signs..
August 16th, 2010 at 12:20 am
I have problem in FarmVille ,I’m not getting my XP when i finished the crops.please solve my problem .
August 17th, 2010 at 10:56 pm
Accidentally I deleted (with delete tool) my peas mastery sign. Can I get it back somehow? I can prove (the 3 stars on peas) by some printscreens.
September 30th, 2010 at 8:56 pm
You can’t get a replacement mastery sign. If you delete or sell the signs they don’t give you a replacement.
Thanks for the lists, was looking for these after having to set up a new account because of problems with people finding things out about me and being abusive.
October 15th, 2010 at 5:58 am
Ok…so when I roll over the stars in the market, it give me a number like 3/250 for an item…however i know that I have harvested more crops than that! anybody have a clue???
October 22nd, 2010 at 9:50 pm
ok ive mastered all crops to level 3. i was under the impression that you got a FULL mastery sign or at least a bonus pop up with coins like at top of this article???
November 1st, 2010 at 5:44 pm
Thanks for the info. It solved a lot of problem
June 11th, 2011 at 1:48 am
i have accidentally deleted my red currant mastery sign..how can i have it back?tnx
August 29th, 2011 at 3:11 pm
i sold my master sign and i want it back is there anything i can do!! im really annoyed
September 10th, 2011 at 3:26 pm
I have so many of these mastery signs and in my opinion they just occuppy storing capacity – so what’s the consequence for selling mastery signs?
January 13th, 2012 at 10:44 am
I was told to refresh the page and all my mastery signs disappeared, so how do I get them back? I have worked on my big sign to put all my mastery signs on and now I do not have the signs.
