Land Rush v1.0 (Minimizing Long Term Tax Liability & Maximizing Early Game Land Rush)

Phase One
1) Get your Small field land grab on for Toon 1 (SF-1)
2) Start growing Strawberries. (SF-1)
3) Get your small field land grab on for Toon 2. (SF-2)
4) Start growing Strawberries. (SF-2)
5) Get your small field land grab on for Toon 3. (SF-3)
6) Start growing Strawberries. (SF-3)
5) Get your small field land grab on for Toon 4. (SF-4)
6) Start growing Beans. (SF-4)
7) Family/Friend allocate all Toons to all Small Fields for ease of use on any account.

Now you have four lots of Small Fields right next to each other at a designated spot. This will require you to run your first toon through as quickly as possible to get the gold you need and lay your first small field and then rinse and repeat 3 more times. Should take you several hours if not the first play session. Keep growing Strawberries until you have 100 finished and you should have enough Beans by than for the Geese you are going to need to feed next.

Now that you have your fields placed and your cycles down and Toon 1 placed on Family/Friend status for the other Toons fields, you can begin to level and collect mats on Toon 1 while your fields are in grow cycles. Just make sure that you are paying attention to when your crops are ready for harvesting to maximize you cycles and ladder up as quickly as possible to a Large Field on Toon 1. The majority of your Gold will come from Toon 1 in the following cycles from leveling while you are waiting for crops. So make sure you are maximizing your time by generating as much gold as you can as quickly as you can while you wait for crop rotations.

Phase Two
1) Start Growing Wood (Aspen) (SF-1)
2) Start Growing Wood (Aspen) (SF-2)
3) Start Growing Wood (Aspen) (SF-3)
4) Start Raising Geese (SF-4)

Phase Three
1) Start Growing Wood (Aspen) (SF-1)
2) Start Growing Wood (Aspen) (SF-2)
3) Start Growing Wood (Aspen) (SF-3)
4) Start Growing Flowers (Marigolds?) (SF-4)

You need to grow enough wood that you will have to keep 3 of your small fields churning out wood for the Trade Packs you are going to need to do for your Large Field. The Geese are for goose down that is the second part of the Trade Mount (Donkey) and Large Field quest set from the Blue Salt Brothers. The Marigolds are the third part of this quest set and the Wood Trade packs are the fourth and last part of this quest.

This is where you have to make a decision on your land grab and how much time are you going to dedicate getting a house and holding down land. Remember, land is for keeps if its in the uncontested faction lands. The above will get you the wood you need (the pain in the ass part) to get the upgrade for a Large Field on Toon 2. Notice I said, Toon 2. Toon 1, your main is going to be placing the house once you get the mats/money for it. Now you have to decide how much wood are you going to need before you cycle off of wood for other crops. Since we only get 4 days of head start, and probably won't have enough cycles to get all your fields upgraded in 96 hours of server time. I would advise using wood first for your house and then if you decide to have a second or third large field do so with your wood production. Based on that assumption, I would proceed to Phase 4.

Phase Four
1) Convert SF-2 to Large Field (LF-2)
2) Start Growing Wood (Aspen) (LF-2)
2) Start Growing Wood (Aspen) (SF-1)
3) Start Growing Wood (Aspen) (SF-3)
4) Start Growing Your Skill Profession Mats (SF-4)
5) Continue growing Wood/Mats until you have enough for house.

Now you have enough wood, other mats and Gold for your house. I prefer the Thatched House (Hobbit House) for tax and land size and its ability to allow for a recall.

Phase Five
1) Plant house where SF-1 was.
2) Give yourself a High Five.
3) Make decision about Toon-3 and Toon-4 Fields.

Now you are at an impasse. You have leveled Toon 1 up probably somewhere in its late 20's and the other Toons are somewhere around level 8-10 in order to place the small fields. All the while when you were leveling your Toon 1, you were doing the armor quests and making/upgrading your base armors. Now you have to decide if you want to back through the process to get the Trade Donkey and the Large Field upgrade for Toon 3 & 4 or do you just want to keep it 1 Large Filed, 2 Small Fields and 1 House?
