What are friendship points and how do they work?

Friend points indicate how friendly you are with a friend. Friend points are used when you ask a friend to help you look after your crop.

Click on the friendship icon to view your friend points.

Friend points increase when you give a present that is more than 100 coins to a friend. Take note that anything less than 100 will not be noticeable. In addition, the maximum number of friend points can only increase by 10 per day per friend. There will be no further increase even if you give more presents.

For every gift that’s worth 100 coins, you get 1 friend point. The points can be used to ensure your crops are looked after by that particular friend, and this stops other friends from stealing from you!

Tip : Items that are worth 1000 coins
10 friendship points are gained by sending an item worth 1000 coins to a friend, items worth 1000 coins are several foods and decorations. It’s better to send an item worth 1000 or as close to 1000 as you can, rather than a food item worth 2660 coins, as the sender is not obliged to return it.
100 x sticks or stones also = 10 points
so this way would be the cheapest by far !

There are also quests throughout the game that require you to assign a certain amount of people to crops, or asking you to raise your points to certain amounts with friends.
