A guide to Farm Heroes Boosters

Lady_Choo

Please note, that if you win the +5 booster, it awards you extra moves but will go on automatically at the start of your next board. You cannot save it and you will not get a notification it is there as it will not show in your booster bank. However if you watch the number of moves very carefully, it slips in quickly.

Beans are ingame currency earned from the daily bonus or passing levels and earning stars.

You can spend them on buying shovels, using companions or beating Rancid (although not using them on Rancid seems to work better sometimes.

Gold is the premium currency. You can earn this usually from the app version (mobile/tablet) mini games events only. Other than that you can buy Gold with real money from the store or can enter contests in the community for a chance to win some. .

Shovel buying

3 Shovels can be bought with 250 beans.

You can only buy them BEFORE you hit play on a level though, otherwise it will cost minimum of 9 gold if bought as you are playing through a level.

You can only buy them when you have 0 shovels. I find if I am quitting a game then its better to buy 3 shovels first before quitting as they will regenerate and then I will end up stuck with just one. You get one free shovel every 6 hours as long as you don't have any already.

Buy them when the level screen opens

Click on the shovel to get this box

Other uses for shovels include :

Removing single crops, Cracking eggs, Growing Flowers, Filling buckets

Breaking Ice, Breaking Spiderwebs, Moving a Chicken, Lighting a firecracker

Breaking a snowball, Lighting a firefly, Opening an oyster, Moving frogs

Opening fireflies (or moving them on a stage)

Germinating a seed or moving it on a stage

Removing a weed stage

Tractor booster

Clears a row of cropsies. Does not work on unopened flowers or other obstacles though. (although the newer version does)

Another booster we get free daily as long as we have used the previous one. Regenerates every 12 hours. Buy it during your game.

Can also be bought with Gold.

Bonus rewarder +1

Adds +1 point to every required crop. Like when you add points on by making matches though, once you have moved, any ungathered crops will lose their added points.

Regenerates every 16 hours for your free one or can be bought with Gold.

Colour Collector (also known as the doggie/Hunter booster)

Click to activate and then click on the crop you want to remove. All of that crop is then taken away. Useful for levels when you have a high amount of one crop needed, especially if you use with the +1.

Regenerates one every 24 hours as long as you used the last one, or bought with Gold.

Egg Cracker

Cracks all unopened eggs. Once used the tester amount, the only way you can get these is by buying with real Gold

Clean-up

Turns all grumpy crops into happy crops again. But be warned...as soon as you have made one move, they revert back into being grumpy. Only bought with Gold.

Super fruit

When you activate these by swapping with another crop (as following pictures show) you had +2 points to the crops in a circle around it, before they are removed.

When you get your free tester go, they will only be valid for the level you use it on. After the one time use, they cost Gold.

The super fruit booster takes away a ring of surrounding crops with the fruit its swapped with, adds 2 points to each.

Also cracks eggs and lights firecrackers!

Amelia's Airdrop 

Can be bought before you start the level. Once bought, good for one level only whether you use it or not.

Turbo tractor (different from the other tractor booster)

Bought with Gold before you enter the level, again, this booster is good for one level only, regardless of if you use it or not

It will take 3 rows of crops in either direction depending on which way you swap the crop to activate it.

Extra moves

Bought for Gold before you enter the level or will be offered at the end if you run out of moves

Different to the +5 moves that are won from an event as explained at the top of this post.
