The biggest skills involved in mastering Farmville jobs are time management, organization, and the ability to recruit your friends to take on some of your Farmville jobs. Those who complete the particular Farmville job in the quickest time earn a gold medal, more XP and more coins. The more friends you recruit to your Farmville jobs the better chance you have of getting a gold medal.

Time management skills are required to ensure that the required number of crops are seeded and harvested within the specified time period. If the crops are not seeded in time, they will not be harvested in time, and the Farmville rewards of coins, XP and medals will be forfeited. The more XP and coins that are earned the quicker you will progress through the different levels. Higher levels mean the option to purchase a greater selection of crops, plants, animals and buildings.
