Visiting Neighbors

Each day when you visit your neighbor/friend on Webkinz Friends, you will automatically earn one energy to use in your own Kinzville. You also have the option of helping your friend with five tasks. These tasks do not use your own energy, and can be used to assist your friends in harvesting plants, visiting houses for cash, cutting down trees, and more! Any cash and resources you gain from this may be used in your town, and it does not affect your neighbor. Each house and building you can harvest yields 20 kinzcash, and each tree yields 5 building materials.

Leveling and Rewards

Leveling can be done through a number of different elements of game play. The simplest way to level when starting out is to complete the Webkinz Friends Quests that you acquire. These quests will teach the very basics of game play, and allow you to build the basic foundation of your Kinzville!

Experience is also acquired through other forms. Each time you collect from a business, entertainment building, house, harvest plants, chop down trees, and other tasks you have a chance to collect some experience. These tasks are often required to complete quests, which means by completing the requirements of the quest you are also earning some experience.

Each level unlocks certain items from the Kinzmart to purchase, replenishes your energy, and allows you to acquire new quests to complete. Some quests require you purchase items that are above your level. This is why some players choose to have multiple businesses or crops to earn experience at later levels.

The current level cap for Webkinz Friends is Level 50.

Level Rewards

Many of the buildings and businesses you will purchase require these supplies in order to produce coins. The maximum amount of supplies you can have at any one time is 9,999 for food, clothes, items and material. The maximum amount of Kinzcash is 999,999. After you reach the maximum, you will not be able to receive anything but experience from collecting from resources/buildings.

Collecting Supplies

Each one of these supplies are collected in different ways. All supplies may be rewarded after completing a Webkinz Friends Quests or through completing specific collections.

Houses

Currently there are 10 styles of houses available. Each house has different building and level requirements, it will also cost energy to build the house. After a house is built, it will reward a specific number of coins per hour, and take up some of your population. Building houses will sometimes be a requirement of Webkinz Friends Quests.

Businesses

There are currently 10 businesses available for players to purchase. Each business uses clothing, items, or food as supplies. Supplying a business with the required component you will earn a select amount of Kinzcash at a specific time. Building businesses will sometimes be a requirement of Webkinz Friends Quests

Entertainment Buildings

There are currently 4 entertainment buildings available for players to purchase and 1 that is awarded by completing a Webkinz Friends Quests. Each entertainment building uses kinzcash as supplies. Supplying an entertainment building with the correct amount of kinzcash will earn you a select amount of happiness at a specific time. Building entertainment buildings will sometimes be a requirement of Webkinz Friends Quests

Community Buildings

There are currently 5 community buildings available to be purchased, and 3 that are awarded through Webkinz Friends Quests. The community buildings do not require any supplies. Every 24 hours a community building will supply you with a set amount of kinzcash. Community buildings are also used to raise your population cap. Building community buildings will sometimes be a requirement of Webkinz Friends Quests.

Resources

Currently there are 28 different resource items available to be purchased, some that must be unlocked through quests and leveling up. Each resource is unique and produces supplies that can be used to supply your buildings. Certain resources can only be used once, others can be used multiple times and some are unlimited uses. When you remove a resource that can be used multiple times you receive some Kinzcash back. The number of resources that can be owned depends on your population. Building resources will sometimes be a requirement of Webkinz Friends Quests.

Each resource gives a certain amount of supplies ("payment") in a certain amount of time, for a certain amount of uses. When choosing resources, you should look at two things: how much you are paying for each payment and the time it takes to produce that payment. You might also want to look at your energy count and make a decision based on how often you can harvest your resources.

Below is a table designed to help you decide which resources work best for you. If you want a cost-effective resource, look under the heading "Payment per Use". This number is the total payment you'll receive after you completely use the resource, divided by the starting cost. The lower the number, the less you have to pay for each individual supply. If you want a time-effective resource, look under the heading "Payment per Min". This number is the amount of supplies collected in one use of the resource, divided by the time it takes to grow the item in minutes. The higher the the number, the more supplies you earn per minute.

Expansions

There are three expansion plots available, the first costs 2,500kc, the second 5,000kc, the third 7,000kc. Additional plots are not yet available (a 4th plot is priced 10,000kc) but will be added at a later time according to the App. The store currently cites that you require 1,000 quality purchase the first expansion plot.
