I concur. All the "success" stories are great, however with exception of expansion badge I've gotten nothing and I've been doing everything mentioned on my own as a matter of course. I'm level 30, with 750,000 coins, maxed on expansions, over 93,000 XP, maxed on most building materials, dyes, inventory, blah blah B L A H
I adore this game, so I'm just puttering around until a new story line rolls in.
I just got the nurturer badge from watering mushrooms! If it helps, someone mentioned harvesting 66 strawberries. I have 99 mushrooms and 33 glimmer dust. Maybe even numbers has something to do with it? Just a thought.
Yay I just got my farmers badge!! This has got to be the most random thing ever. Still I must say I am rather chuffed all the same
I think the farmer's badge has something to do with collecting from Farmhouse, collecting from animals and crops (I don't know, just my thoughts here!)
I am still on 0 but I see that the gems buying for it went down from 250 to 100 and now it is 50, maybe I am getting closer
