    I am new too, but learning so much more now.
    So glad you joined.

    I always get my happiness first, I haven’t be able to get over 45%, but I hear it will increase as my levels go up.

    Who do I send a friend request to?

    you can get energy when you visit a friend everyday
    you can also send a request when you are out of energy (I try to answer these, but because you have to go from the FB page, I probably don’t see them all)
    You can earn energy from some of the challenges
    I send everyone energy as a “gift” everyday near the end of the day because I haven’t figured out if it interferes with other requests for stuff

    How to I send a friends request to Kinzheads, not a person on FB?

    WF- Happiness Info.
    It goes up at 5% for each level of town quality until level 10, when you’re at 50%. Above town level 10 the max stays at 50%. Energy max is indeed 35, although you can go above that if people send you energy. You can’t go above 35 by adding energy from your inventory, though… I’ve tried.

    Dee I found this about saving energy on WI
    And we totally agree with your point about energy being the most precious commodity. Even though Ice Cream Trees are the best $ value for food, we bought 4 Tuck Shops since those give about 9 times the amount of food as each Ice Cream Tree. Haven’t planted a single Ice Cream Tree in a week.

    Costs a bit more, but $ is cheap, energy isn’t.

    Hi, everyone!

    Just so we’re all on the same page, Webkinz Friends (WF) is a game from Ganz where you build a town. It’s available on Facebook or the iPad. To build, you’ll need energy, supplies and kinzcash. You can use the codes of previously adopted pets on WW for WF (great for getting more kinzcash in the beginning or adding extra rooms much later) but you do NOT have to (I just started a side account 6 days ago after dee started playing and I’m now level 20 without having adopted a pet on WF).

    You can decorate and work on challenges just like in WW but games are limited to spinning a WOW once a day. The pets only walk around town like in WW’s Kinzville Map but you cannot dress them or even see them indoors. The biggest reason for playing WF is to win prizes that can be sent to WW.

    Almost all of the prizes are tradeable in WW except for the unfortunate Chef Gazpacho’s sandwich maker (I have one or 2 languishing in my docks) or the berries which you can use for Jumbleberry Fields in WW. Because most of the prizes are associated with challenges, once you get all the prizes from the regular challenges, most players stop playing for months until new or seasonal ones arrive.

    To answer dee’s question, you can get gems from spinning the WOW in the game or buy them with real money. Gems are like eStore points that can help you skip steps in challenges or enable you to harvest earlier. There was a way to earn Facebook credits buy answering surveys, etc, before they converted into a pricier gems system last year but I’ve no idea if they still work or if the Facebook credits can be converted into gems.

    Energy enables you to harvest buildings or supplies (in other words, each energy = one turn, the more energy you have the longer you can play). To get more energy, you can visit friends, ask for help when you run out, give gifts of energy (and hopefully they reciprocate and give you energy back, you can save only a maximum of 25 energy gifts now, used to be unlimited), trade in the energy from your home collection, wait until they regenerate (you get one energy per 5 minutes) or pay for energy with real cash.

    As mentioned earlier, your most precious commodity is energy. So my first advice to beginners is make sure you have used up all your energy allotment before you leave the game.

    This means setting up enough buildings and supplies so that if you’re alloted 16 energy, you have 16 items to click on to use up that energy. I usually plant as much as I can afford to before leaving so that I have something to harvest when I return.

    Balance your buildings and supplies so that you don’t run into a “building impasse.” For challenges like the acorn collection events, the acorns pop out from buildings so the more buildings you have, the more acorns you’ll find and the faster you’ll get thru the challenge.

    And don’t be afraid to leave your account with nearly zero kc (which I did for the first 5 days) as you’ll make more again when you return (wouldn’t it be wonderful if this was true in real life, lol?).

    The pet care app is for smart phones and tablets (yes I’m a droid girl πŸ˜‰ ) iphones, ipads and ipods…

    You can feed, dress your pets, play a few games including a special WOW with unique prizes…

    I like it because: the unique prizes (the clothing is very cute, food NOT), and for those with a lot of pets on your account you can change the clothing without needing to open a dock πŸ™‚ and feed them…

    Another perk is that you can log in and out and do all accounts with one installation of the app. I didn’t know this at first and thought the one account you chose at the installation was locked to the app. Not so, fortunately … so yippee, I think!

    supply the tuck shop with 1000kc and it’ll give out 300 food
    you’ll need to buy the plot where the dining hall is to unlock the challenge and to reach that lot directly, you’ll have to buy a lot right before it that costs 400,000kc.

    The webkinz care app is the only thing Ganz has done for android, the other mobile games are still iOS only. I’m surprised they finally did anything for Droid, after being asked MANY times about having apps for android they finally answered they had zero plans ever for anything other than iOS.

    The Tuck Shops are nice to have but since it costs 1000 kc to supply each time, I use it only when I want to raise food supplies in a hurry. I’m usually maxed out on supplies on my main so I don’t often need it but it’s convenient as a backup.

    No need to rush to get thru the Campkinz Challenge and definitely do NOT spend kinzgems to speed it up. The prize for this challenge is something you should already have in your WW docks from an old WKN event:

    For food, I grew red berries in the past. Since they changed it recently so that yellow berries now produce food in larger quantities, I switched to that (in my side account, I managed to finish the Berry Collection Challenge growing them whenever I ran out of supplies). Green berries are useful for making boxes (in addition to Ruby Leaf Trees). As a bonus, I can trade in the collection for jumble berries to send back to WW.

    see that bar on top of your screen near the middle that looks like this

    it’s for town quality

  40. 40 zingyginger said,

    October 13, 2013 @ 10:07 pm

    this was mentioned earlier today

    the basics on town quality:

    the max town quality level that gives you a benefit is level 10 (so being level 11 on my main doesn’t benefit me more than being level 10 before)

    for each level of town quality, you get a potential bonus when you harvest

    when you start out, you have 5% potential max bonus so that when you harvest a building or supply, you can potentially get up to 5% more. every level you move up adds 5% to that.

    for example, i’m at the max level bonus on my main so every time i harvest the tuck shop i get 300 food plus 150 food (50% bonus), as long as i boost that green meter up to the max by harvesting entertainment buildings (the ones with smiley faces when they’re ready to be harvested) like the arcade, cinema, clubhouse, etc prior to doing anything else

    the happiness boost also increases the chance of acorns and other items popping out of buildings when you harvest them

    besides the bonuses when you harvest, every time you move up a level in town quality, you get a FREE gift item in your inventory.

    dee, if none of these makes sense, just buy two radiant rosebushes from the kinzmart under decorations, place them in your town and see what happens

  41. 41 dee said,

  42. 42 zingyginger said,

    October 13, 2013 @ 10:40 pm

    i think that the radiant rosebush at 530 kc is the most cost-effective decoration for you to use to go up 113 points to the next level but you can pick other items that total 113 points instead

    moms needs less than 10 points so she can also pick something else around that amount

    speaking of custard, the way to make oatmeal taste custardy is to cook it in a pyrex measuring cup in a slow cooker overnight. you’d almost think it’s not oatmeal and it looks exactly like the picture here

    http://food52.com/recipes/3062-overnight-steel-cut-oats-with-almond-butter-honey

    i’d keep making it this way except hon is concerned with the electric costs of running the slow cooker for hours while we sleep

    Hey Sis,

    The theater in WW has videos now that give prizes, the current one is the Persephone Plush, not a new item but a nice one.

    I think I got so far in WF from the beginning days when energy was a regular gift and it stock piled in “inventory”, I had over 2000 energy at one point. It is down to 140 now. With nearly constantly replenished, it was possible to make faster progress than it is now.

    The down side of gifts in WF is that you don’t know what you have been sent. I have a boatload of the plants and road pieces. No idea why people who chose to send those instead of energy which is the most valuable commodity in most all games of this sort.

    KG, originally all gifts say “accept” when you click that, then most, for me, say “resend”… it is a long tedious process.. getting gifts.. they did a poor job coding that part. TailTowns gift process is only slightly better…

    To make sure you get the xxxx you are requesting (ie energy in WF on Facebook) when the box pops up to “share” .. in the comments box type the names/id’s of people you know will send for you…

    The request will then go into the person’s notifications that are easier to respond to… (cause FFQ nags me about it, lol)

    There are 3 types of “messages” that are in the pop up communication box in WF:

    “Accepts” that are responses from requests “you” send to “friends” for components, etc. (show at the beginning)

    “Gifts” either original sends or “resends” .. my experience with these is some I can just “accept” though most require an “accept” AND a “resend” that causes another pop up to open…

    “Requests” from “friends” for components, etc. (show at the end)

    When I can’t get through my entire list, I go to the end to do the “sends”

    Do you know if there is a limit of how much energy you can send to a friend in one day from the requests they post of FB?

    I posted quite a few requests and just went into my littles account, but I don’t think I got all the energy I sent from her account. ??????????

  80. 80 Zingyginger said,

    October 14, 2013 @ 4:38 pm

    did you check your gift inventory, moms? if you have 25 gifts of energy (the max you can store now), any energy sent to you just gets wasted.

    also, you can cash in on your home collection (see post 12). but other than for energy, berries or spree (if you bought the spree mall with gems), i wouldn’t cash in for little decorations you can buy yourself as many of those collection items (things that pop out like acorns when you harvest buildings) are needed for challenges.

    dee, to move click and hold a spot on the map that’s not a building or a map then drag it right or left. alternatively, on the bottom left, over the gems there’s a button you can use to zoom out to see most of the town

    great rooms, littleleaf! whoa, i didn’t know you can upload that way to gymbo’s! how did you do that? i’m impressed

    chant, i fished out your comment.

    a little less than 7 days ago i started over and it’s now at 135,000 kc level 22, town level 3 with around 4000 in supplies each except for building materials which is at 1200 since i don’t need it as much. no pet codes used. not bad, eh?

    in some ways, it’s easier than when i started out-plants don’t wilt anymore and there’s no limit in number of plants. wish we still could store unlimited gifts of energy, have it regenerate faster and have the sewing machine and factory available for kc instead of gems but i can deal

    now trying to decide whether to work on maxing out the supplies and going to 1 million this week or just letting it sit until the next seasonal challenge comes out. i guess we’ll see how busy work gets.

    i’m going to hazard a guess that you need a specific ice cream cone to pop out from the ice cream plant while you’re harvesting for a recipe like this

    plant several ice cream trees (i usually do around 10-12) and right before harvesting make sure your bonus/happiness meter is near or at maximum. then hope the specific ice cream you need pops out.

    if you’re at max happiness, you won’t benefit from harvesting more entertainment buildings the same way if you’re at 9,999 food, you won’t get credit from harvesting more ice cream trees

    it’s a good guide

    used to be excellent but then the quests are now not in order so it’s a little trickier to follow

    one tip is to try to harvest the plants so you have the ingredients you need for a recipe BEFORE the challenge shows up. coz once the challenge is up, the item you need seems to be elusive.

    i think dee got her ice cream tho

    Normally yes, Dee, but for those just starting out I thought it might be better to just collect energy and move on to the next more fruitful place to harvest. I’m not sure which things are available for visitors and the owner and which get used up like cutting down trees..

  122. 122 Zingyginger said,

    October 15, 2013 @ 9:20 am

    um, harvesting is not always a good thing.

    it sorta helps newbies a little as there’s less allotted energy at lower levels.

    but if someone’s working on a challenge and needs to harvest a building as part of the challenge requirement then a neighbor comes along and does it for them, it may or may not count (it didn’t count in the past and not sure if it’s been fixed yet). so the owner of the building needs to restock it and wait until it’s ready for harvest and keep their fingers crossed no one harvests it before they get to it.

    also, if a neighbor harvests your gazebo for you but you’re already at maximum happiness, it doesn’t give you any benefit but you still need to restock it with 1000 kc if you want to use it later on.

    it definitely did not help with gathering acorns for me as no acorns popped out of the buildings when it was from neighbor’s help.

    there were a lot of unfriending because of this when this feature came out so i mostly visit neighbors to get energy unless i need to harvest buildings as a challenge requirement.

  123. 123 zingyginger said,

    October 15, 2013 @ 9:26 am

    one building that i have on my main, fluffington’s mansion, i had to camouflage as it takes 3 to 4 days to be ready for harvest and i never harvest it except when it’s needed for a challenge so i don’t have to be on standby for 3 to 4 days until it’s ready.

    I do wish they hadn’t made so many of the changes that they have. Now that I am super limited on energy it is not so much “fun”.. ok.. it is far more tedious and sooo slow.. lol

    zingy – that’s good to know!

    i’ve been trying to only harvest food when i visit, but maybe i’ll just get the energy and leave unless someone specifically asks for help

    these webkinz friends tips are important – they shouldn’t allow harvesting of anything that could hurt the player 😐

    i did notice the acorns and was relieved when people had not harvested the houses/buildings because we didn’t get acorns when someone else harvested

  128. 128 zingyginger said,

    October 15, 2013 @ 11:17 am

    hi gramma! how’s dgd?

    the background is ganz wanted to curb energy supplies so they removed energy from the giftables list. then they reinstated it with the max of 25 that can be stored. peeps were still upset with this change as we used to be able to store unlimited energy so they introduced this feature (used to be one can visit and harvest – it never affected the place visited).

    there IS a way around harvesting so it doesn’t hurt your game. sometimes the icon hops around then you get at the building without accepting help. after midnight kt, all the help disappears. most advanced players just ignore the “help” and go around it that way.

    entertainment buildings, houses and supplies are mostly ok (houses with special names that take a day or more to harvest i would avoid). except like we said above-for collection events it seems not to produce the acorns when you accept the help.

    gotta run but tricky tuesday sales are up and they have the midnight monster and vampire bat for 8,000 estore points; vampiress costume available for 2,500 points.
