Where to Expand on FarmVille Tropic Escape

When you first start off on the game, it can be overwhelming and confusing as to where you need to expand your island. One of the first places that you will use is Maya's Hot Spring but that location does not require you to expand to that site. The next location you will need to use is the Smugglers' Cave.

The cave is located north of your "house". Do not worry about expanding the to left or right of your path up north. Most of the time you will the Geodes and random treasures that contain Sunshines, Money, Hourglass, etc.

After you expand north, you will want to start expanding to your left (West) along the coast towards the Shipwrecked Boat. Doing so will allow you to eventually hit upon Luis' Lookout.

What is Luis' Lookout on FarmVille Tropic Escape

At a cost of $40,000; Luis' Lookout is available for use at Level 23 to create torches. The Lookout is located near the Shipwrecked ship.

The Merchant Shipwreck, is noted below, is available at Level 24. I haven't reached that level yet so I'm not sure how much it would cost but I am currently saving up money for it. I'm sure that the cost of the Shipwreck will be more than $40,000.

What Are Iron and Silver Ores Used for in Farmville Tropic Escape

When your characters have the chance to explore in Smuggler's Cave, you will get items such as the Iron Ore (brown rock), the Silver Ore (blackish silver rock) and the Blue Crystal.

What is interesting is that when you are at the level where you can explore the cave, you will most likely not have the chance to use them to make anything. So, while you may be tempted... TRY NOT TO SELL THE SILVER ORE or THE BLUE CRYSTAL. These are hard to come by and they are used to make the Dolphin Necklace at the Jeweler

Silver Ores are also used for making the Sextant and even the Treasure Key. While you cannot see the Treasure Key in the picture below, it is the image slightly faded located below the Gold Bar. I can't remember at what level you can obtain the workshop but it is somewhere before Level 22. 

When you have the chance to make crates, you will not have the option to use them until you purchase the Lobster Trap. Obtained somewhere around Level 22 (again I can't remember exactly), the trap costs around $35,000.

Once you trap Lobsters, you can make your Lobster Rolls at the Sushi Stand and sell them as is as required. Have fun with the game.
