Vinesweeper is thought of as an easy thing to do while you wait for your patches to grow. Plant seeds then get free Farming xp? How great is that! The idea of the game is like minesweeper. Uncover points, and flag seeds(mines) for extra points. As for the xp, it varies going by your Farming level.

How do I get to Vinesweeper?

Getting to Vinesweeper is quite easy. All you have to do is find a tool leprechaun. You can find them around most Farming patches. Right click them, hit teleport, and away you go :)

How do I get started?

As you first enter you should walk over to Farmer Blinkin to as about Vinesweeper. He'll also give you some flags to find seeds with. If you didn't bring a spade with you, find Mrs. Winkin in the house. She'll sell you one for 5 coins.

Now it's time to start hunting for seeds! Sooner or later you'll uncover a strange root vegetable. This can be fed to the rabbits to send them away.

Dealing with your loss
Digging up a seed can be hard but it happens to the best of us. The best thing to do is to dig up the area you lost when the farmers replanted seeds.

Flagging the field
When you're in a situation like this,

it's best to flag. If it isn't a seed then you have 9 flags left :)

This is a table of the points gained/lost while playing.
Digging up points+1 point every square
Digging up a seed-10 points
Flagging a seed(farmer collects)The points vary
Someone else flags a seedIf you're near them the points you earn will also vary
Flag a wrong spotFarmer keeps the flag
Rabbit eats your seedYou lose your flag


After using up 9 flags, you can return to Farmer Blinkin to collect more. He'll give you the flags that successfully uncovered a seed back for free. You'll have to buy the rest for 500 coins each (if you want all 10)

When you're done, go back to Mrs. Winkin to turn in your points. I get 1 xp per point and my Farming level is fairly low. Again, it depends on how "high" your level is.

The shop
Here you can buy various seeds, super compost potions, and flags.

Making a profit
There's one way (that I know of) to make money from Vinesweeper. You can use your points to buy super-compost potions, create super compost, fill buckets, and sell. You must do Garden of Tranquillity to buy super-compost potions.

Leaving Vinesweeper
When you leave you'll get 500gp back for all the flags you have left. You'll also get 10gp back from each ogleroot.

Vinesweeper tips by Alex 43

Quote:
- If any patch is touching an empty space, even diagonally, it's guaranteed diggable. Dig it immediately.
- Sometimes you will come across 'corners', which are numbers surrounded by 5 empties, two other numbers and one patch between the numbers, each of them clustered in a group. Looks a bit like this:

o o 1 - -
o x 1 - -
1 1 1 - -
- - - - -
- - - - -

If this is the case, then the patch marked by an X is a seed. You can flag it if you wish.

- Also, since you know where the seed is, any other '1' touching it is touching only one seed. As you know where it is, you can dig up every other patch touching it. This can lead to the relevation of additional seeds.
