Coins, treats & energy

Best ways to earn

• Daily goals: 500 coins each, 3 a day (Daily rewards).
• Say hi to friends: visit a friend's home and pick a greeting for 35 coins and 5 XP, once per friend per day. The more friends, the more coins!
• Fishing: a bite is worth about 190 coins on average, for a bait that can cost 10 (Fishing).
• The Arcade: a Four in a row win pays around 1,000 coins (Arcade).
• Your pet: each fly you wash off pays up to 49 coins, and cleaning up after it pays too.
• Selling: most things sell back for about a third of their price.

Treats are the rare currency. Without buying any, you get them from:

• Level gifts (42 treats from level 1 to 40), and Arcade levels (1 or 2 per level, every season).
• The weekly box (8 treats for 15 goals), and login gift streaks.
• Mr Mayor's first week (10 treats) and his welcome back gifts.

Only the Arcade uses energy: 5 points to start a public game (and 5 more if you leave a game early). Private matches with friends are free. Fishing, digging, the garden and petlings never use energy.

XP raises your level, up to 40. Each level has a gift: see Levels & rewards.

• Arcade tickets come only from winning public Arcade games (up to about 105 a day) and buy prizes at the Arcade counter. See the Arcade guide.
• Shovels: you start with 5, get 2 free each day while you have fewer than 20, and can buy more for 3 treats each. See Treasure hunting.
• Essence comes from petlings and buys coat tickets in the Nest. See All about petlings.
• Recycling points: recycle trash at the bins on Main Street, then trade 1,000, 2,000 or 3,000 points for a recycling box.
