~This guide is intended for new players starting out in Fairyland and covers all the basics to get you to Astral and Legendary~
but some long term players might learn a few things as well.
Overview of the game
Fairyland is a gardening and hunting game with a large social element. You can see the Game Terminology area for help with any words you do not understand. In Fairyland, every player has a garden, where they grow various plants to "level up", and where they put out food to attract wildlife. Every player can also visit other gardens in the game (except private ones), water the plants in those gardens, and try to spot wildlife there. Players can leave each other messages ~ some choose simple messages like 'sprinkles' (meaning they watered), but some write more personal ones. It's also possible to cast spells or leave gold or diamond for your friends just for fun!
The ALFF Admins will happily discuss game strategy and any questions you may have ~ Click on the image to visit the ALFF group page
Aims of the game
Fairyland offers a very wide selection of choices - it's up to you which direction you choose and what goals you want to achieve. Or whether you try all of them! Here are some of the most popular ones:
* How does the Rainforest Protect Program work?
The area adopted is quoted in square feet (sq ft) and depends upon which plant was grown - plants in the higher "Garden Levels" will usually result in a greater area being adopted. The donation itself is made quarterly (every 3 months), when the Fairyland Developer calculates the total area of rainforest adopted by all of the Faiyrland Gardens and then makes a donation to adopt an equivalent area of rainforest. The donation is made to theNature Conservancy's "Adopt An Acre" program, which is currently helping to protect the rainforests of the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica from deforestation. Fairyland makes their donations via the Facebook "Causes" application -

Fairyland has simply selected their "Adopt An Acre" program as an appropriate and worthwhile cause to support.
- Levelling up the garden - growing all of the available plants ~ there are currently 42 Garden Levels
- Growing and harvesting a lot of plants to protect the Rainforest in real life *(see below)
- Levelling up through the Wildlife levels~ Astral and Legendary are the top Levels in that area
- Attracting and spotting at least 1 of each wildlife (this colors in the pictures in the Wildlife Guide)
- Attracting or spotting a large number of a particular type of Wildlife (for example, setting up a Kiwi garden and aiming for at least 100 of them, or trying to spot at least 10 of each available wildlife)

Plant Menu
If you hover your mouse over a plant in your garden, you will see a menu which looks like this.
It will show you the plants name and two little arrows on both sides of plant name. Like this: < PlantName >
If you click on those arrows, you can rearrange your plants in your garden.

Mushroom Menu
If you hover your mouse icon over the red mushroom on the upper left corner of the toolbar, a menu like this will pop open.
It has your Fairy name, Fairy picture, status, and options to change them listed on it. When you choose a picture for your Fairy, you will also have option to set a type of Fairy (Fairy, Fae, Elf, Pixie, Woods Faye, Water Nymph, whatever you like!).
It also lists how many different Fairy dusts you have and has the option to buy more (you can buy Wands there as well).
You can also see a history of dust sprinkles and spells you have sent or received. Click on 'See All Sprinkles' to see dustings and on 'Spells Cast' or 'Spells Received' to see spells.
There are links toAlchemy and Herbalism - it is here that you will use your random items and some fairy dusts.
There is a Superpowers link too - for those who have completed all their Herbalisms.
A 'Make a wish' page is here just for fun - make a wish and see whether it comes true.
You can invite friends to play Fairyland with you!
Preferences give you some options. You can choose whether your friends can see when you are playing Fairyland (on by default), whether you see backgrounds and animations (on by default, but you might want to change it if you have an older computer or a very slow internet connection), and how pop-ups work (this is what happens when you hover over a plant - by default, a little box with information pops out, but you can choose to click on the plant to see that information).
And if you click on your Fairy's picture, it will take you to your backwall.

And if you click on your Fairy's picture, it will take you to your backwall.
Backwall
Your Backwall looks like this! You can see your profile and your Fairy's picture as well as a lot of information about your Fairy - your status, when it was last updated, your Fairy's birthday, garden link, garden level and wildlife level.
You can also see messages from other Fairies. Some Fairies also choose to record information about plants here - like when they will be ready for harvest. You can also paste some Ascii Art you like onto your Backwall for easy access when you go out sprinking other gardens.
There is also listings of all the wildlife you have spotted in other gardens.
Other Gardens
When you visit other gardens, you will see they look a lot like yours. The same information is available, just without options to change it. You can water other fairies' plants and try to spot their wildlife.
If you leave a message (just enter it at the available box and click 'Post'), some Fairies will choose to come and visit your garden in return. It means you won't have to water your own plants very often or not at all. Do leave messages, even if it's just to say you visited and watered a plant - it makes it easier for others to find you and make friends. You can find some text art here to choose from.
If you click on the blue persons and Fairys name, you will go to that person's Backwall. You will see similar information as on your own Backwall there - and you can leave messages as well.
The one thing different from your own garden is an option to add other gardens as a favorite. It will appear on your All Gardens page if you do it. Just click on 'Add to Favorites' at lower right corner of the garden (below the plants). You can have 30 favorite gardens - and you can remove them from favorites on All Gardens page if you ever want to change them out.
Messages
This is how your messages and messages other people leave in gardens and backwalls look like:
Date, Backwall link, garden link.
You can see the person's and Fairy's name - click on it and you will go to the person's Backwall. You will also get to the person's Backwall if you click 'reply' under the message.
The 'Garden' link will take you to the person's garden.
'Delete' option is available if it's your garden or your Backwall - you can delete messages or leave them.
You also have an option to report a message. You shouldn't have to use this very often, but sadly sometimes you might run into players behaving un-fairy-like. If you think a message is inappropriate (aggressive or contains something not appropriate for people aged 13 or under), you can report it and the developers will be able to deal with it.
When you leave a message yourself, you will notice it won't have the 'reply', 'garden' and 'report' options. Other fairies will see them - they are just not visible to you because you should know how to get to your garden and your own Backwall without these links and, obviously, you would not leave a message you would want to report yourself for! :)

Spotting wildlife
When you visit other gardens and water plants, sometimes you will spot wildlife. When you find wildlife in a garden, a picture will pop out - you will know when it happens! It is considered proper Fairy Manners to leave a message for the garden owner when you spot wildlife.
You can read some tips for how to best go about spotting wildlife here to help you.

Visiting Gardens
There are no official Fairyland rules on what to do in other gardens. However, Fairyland is a very social game and some expected social rules have evolved with it! Most players like it when other players visiting their garden leave a message - especially if you spot wildlife in the garden. It also makes it easier for other players to find your garden. Some players will have rules
in their gardens - try to read them and follow them. They are not official Fairyland rules, but it's not hard to be considerate and follow them or just leave a particular garden if you don't
agree with them - it makes everyone's day nicer to not have drama! :)
Try to plan and set-up your garden well. Always try to have food out for wildlife in your garden - it will help to make sure your visitors come back more often.A garden game is also a nice touch. You shouldn't really have to water your own plants, as you will get other players to come and help you if you advertise. It also helps if someone else spots wildlife in your garden since they get diamonds and so do you! Some players will be reluctant to return to water in your garden if they see you are watering your own plants. Its one thing to have be in competition with other players for spotting wildlife, but for many players competing with the garden owner for spotting the wildlife tops the cake. (the diamonds are not doubled if you spot your own, you get the same diamonds you would if someone else spotted the wildlife- only it doesn't cost you any gold when they spot 'em!) Of course, if your plants are close to wilting, you should water them if you haven't had any visitors in awhile. If this is a problem you are running into with infrequent visitors, advertise- advertise~advertise~! Every time you put out new food let people know!
