TUTORIALS » HOW TO CREATE A "DUMMY" ACCOUNT
Written by eekthegeek

Before we begin with the tutorial, you may be wondering just what is a so-called "dummy" account? Well, a dummy account is simply a FarmVille account with no purpose other than to level up to 100 and use the farm cash gained to send items to a main account. Have you ever wanted a certain decoration or animal, but have not had the money for farm cash? Well, by using this method, you will be able to level up an account up to level 100 in as little as a day and use all the farm cash you gain to send any item you wish to your main account!

Now, there are also other methods that can allow you to do this much faster than what I am about to show you, but this is the tried and true method that is always what I resort to when the previously mentioned faster methods are patched. If you have an easier way of leveling up dummy accounts or find a better way of doing it than what is shown here, feel free to e-mail me with your changes to my tutorial. If I find they are indeed more efficient than what I have here, I will gladly change the tutorial. You can also e-mail me if you are having problems with using this method.

I want to give credit to Inemesis from the FVBot Forum for posting about part of this method. You can read his post by clicking here.

NECESSARY RESOURCES 
Okay, the only program we are doing to use in this tutorial is FarmVille Bot. To ensure you are using the latest version of FVBot, go to www.farmvillebot.net and download the Full & Lite Multiuser Version. You will find the link to download on the right side of the page.

When it comes to registering dummy accounts, you do not have to go through the long process of registering a new e-mail account for each dummy account you create. Instead, you can use OneWayMail which is an e-mail service that only allows incoming e-mails. There is no registration involved, just register a Facebook account with something@onewaymail.com, then go to OneWayMail.com and put in the e-mail address you used. It's a great service that I personally use.

STEP 1 
Okay, I am going to try to make this tutorial as simple as possible, so first, you obviously must register a Facebook account.

STEP 2
Now, if you used OneWayMail as your e-mail provider, go to their web-site and login with the e-mail address you used. You'll see an e-mail from Facebook in your Inbox titled "Just one more step to get started on Facebook." Click that and inside you will find a link that will activate your Facebook account. Click that and then you will go through three steps. I usually skip the first step, but I fill in the school and employer fields with bogus information, and I also make sure I always put a picture. The more information you fill out, the less likely your account is going to be deleted, so try to make your dummy account look as real as possible.

STEP 3
Now, onto the actual process of setting up the dummy account. This step was posted on the FVBot Forums by Inemesis so I just want to give him his props before I continue. Make sure you read this carefully because this may sound a little confusing but if done right you will start out with 25 farm cash instead of 5 so it is definitely worth it to get it right. It may sound confusing at first so read over the following paragraph until you fully understand.

First, right click on this link and (in Firefox) go to Copy Link Location. Now that you have the link copied, click here. You will be presented with a Facebook prompt, click Allow. You will then be presented with another Facebook prompt, click Allow, but before the next page loads, paste the link you copied (http://tinyurl.com/63fufx3) into the address bar. FarmVille should then load and you should start out with 25 farm cash instead of 5.

STEP 4
Next, click this link to be rewarded with a cherry tree, chicken, cow, and 4 hay bales. Then collect your stimulus package by clicking here. That will give you 3 farm cash, a goat, and a unwither spray. If you are using Firefox or Internet Explorer, you can also install the Game Bar for an extra 10 farm cash. After doing that, you should have 38 farm cash. Look out for any promotional offers below the FarmVille window to add more farm cash before the leveling process begins.

STEP 5 
This is probably the most annoying part of the process. Basically, in order to level up, we need coins, and to get coins, we need to construct an Orchard, and in order to do that, we need neighbors. The quickest way to add a bunch of neighbors is to go to Gamers Unite. Once you join Gamers Unite, add yourself to the FarmVille Neighbors page. I usually go through the first 3 or 4 pages, adding every person I see. If you also add yourself to the list you will have people requesting you as well. Before you know it you will have a bunch of neighbors.

After you add a bunch of people from Gamers Unite, add them as Neighbors. Doing so will give you Local Celebrity ribbons which will give you a fair amount of coins. Now place an Orchard, and request building parts from your neighbors. You can also surf the feed looking for building parts. Like I said, this is the most painstaking and annoying part of the process, but it is necessary. We must fully complete an Orchard in order to go on with the rest of the process. When the Orchard is (finally) completed, buy 8 peach trees from the market and add them to your recently built Orchard.

 

STEP 6
Now, by this point, you should be level 4 or 5 with 42-43 farm cash and have a completed Orchard with 8 peach trees in it. It is important that you put no more than 8 trees in the Orchard otherwise it will just slow down the process. Okay, now if you haven't installed FarmVilleBot by this point, do so now. After installing it, there should be a shortcut on your desktop to FarmVille Bot Lite. We are going to use the Lite version because it uses less resources than the Full version, and also allows you to run the bot on more than one account at once. When you open the program, it should look like this:

Enter your Facebook account info into the e-mail and password text boxes and click Run. Now navigate over to the Plugins tab. Once the bot logs into your Facebook account, a list of plugins will appear. The only two you are going to worry about are Settings and Toolbox, so double click both of them and you will notice that they open up in tabs next to the Plugins and Log tabs.

First, navigate over to the Settings tab and set up the left side of your Settings to look like this:

That basically told the bot not to bother with any plugins besides for Toolbox, which we are going to setup now. Click the ToolBox tab and once it's open click on FarmGold. Once the page loads, set it up to look like this:

What FarmGold will do is this. First, it will remove all the Peach Trees from your Orchard. By doing so, it will make them ready to be harvested. FVBot will then harvest 7 of the 8 trees thus giving you a small amount of coins, then it will move all the trees back to the Orchard and since one tree was not harvested, the Orchard will be ready to harvest. FVBot will harvest the Orchard and then repeat the process over and over again, generating coins for you. Now you see why it was important for us to build that Orchard and stock it with 8 trees? Now, the only negative side to this is that it does take time to generate a couple million coins, so I usually set this to run overnight while I sleep. By the time you wake up, you should have a couple million coins and that will lead us to our next step!

STEP 7
Okay, click Stop in FarmVilleBot. By this time, you should have a few million coins. Your objective at this point is to get to level 35 and build a pig pen, so in order to get there, we are going to go to the market and use our coins to buy Grain Silos, which cost 20,000 coins and give 200xp. Keep buying them until you reach level 15, and then you can buy the Windmill which costs 100,000 coins and gives you 1,000xp. Yes it's tedious, but like I said, you are trying to get to level 35, so keep buying Windmills, Schoolhouses, or Libraries until you reach level 35. If you run out of coins before reaching level 35, run FarmGold on your Orchard some more.

 

STEP 8
Now you should have hit level 35, and now it's time to buy a Pigpen. The important thing about level 35 is you unlock the Saddleback Pig which costs 300,000 coins and gives you 3,000xp. First, you want to build a Pigpen, so place one and complete building it. Then, just like the Orchard, put 8 Saddleback Pigs in the Pigpen. If you don't have enough coins to do so, run FarmGold on your Orchard some more. If you have more coins after placing the 8 pigs in the pen, keep buying Saddleback Pigs to increase your XP but place them on your farm instead of the pen. Once you run out of coins, go back to FarmVilleBot and click the ToolBox tab. Click FarmGoldagain, remove the 100 from the Orchard and put 100 in the Pigpen, like shown below. Then run FVBot for a few hours to gain some more coins. The Saddleback Pigs will generate more coins than the Orchard so you will have millions of coins in no time.

 

STEP 9
Okay, the goal now is getting to level 75, and quickest way to get there is to keep buying Saddleback Pigs. Run FarmGold on your Pigpen to get the coins needed to buy the pigs. Now, once you actually reach level 75, you can buy the Belted Cow, which costs 1,000,000 coins and generates 10,000xp. Buy a dairy farm from the market and fill it with 20 Belted Cows. If you have more coins, keep buying Belted Cows and place them on your farm until you reach level 85, when you unlock the Pheasant. From level 85 to level 100 you are going to buy Pheasants since they cost 2,000,000 coins and generate 20,000xp. They will allow you to level up to 100 the quickest from this point on.

  

STEP 10
This last step is only essential if you run out of coins before you reach level 100. If you do run out of coins, go back to FarmVille Bot, click the ToolBox tab, and click FarmGold. Remove the 100 from the Pigpen and put 100 in the Dairy Farm and click save. You can then let it run a few cycles and this will generate coins faster than both the Orchard and the Pigpen previously did.

That's it. I hope this tutorial was clear enough and easy to follow. Like I said in the beginning, if you have any recommended changes you would like to see made to this tutorial, feel free to e-mail me and I will look over your suggestions. As of now (3/5/2011), this seems to be the tried and true method to level up dummy accounts since the CollectionXP methods have been patched.
