Beginner guide FAQ

After the tutorial, fill plots with early crops, check Sam for better seeds, visit George for water tools or sprinklers, and save toward Bamboo.

Yes. Public-server crops can be stolen at night, so beginners should return to their garden, use Bamboo, or play in a private server when needed.

Plant the three free Green Bean seeds, compare them with Bamboo, and use the Seed Shop and money-farming pages before spending more Sheckles.
