AP Farming

In AP Farming, you or someone else takes care of a lot of your horses to get Aging Points.

Usually you line up a few hundred horses you don't really care about, and do the basics with them- feed, groom, water, carrot, bed. You do them as fast as you can and hope you get Aging Points by caring for them.

Some do missions/lessons, offer covers, or do comps for extra gains while they're at it. Some also want things like mash, carrots, etc, fed to their horses.

Many AP Farm for themselves, but most hire it out to shared account people.

Becoming an AP farmer is as easy as saying you are one, but you need to fit some requirements:

•You need to have a lot of free time, and you need to have the same amount of time every single day, without fail. It takes about two hours for 200 horses and many hire you to do over 1000 horses a day, so you need a lot of time.

•You need to be dependable. You can't pick and choose when to do what.

•You need to like tedious work. Personally, I dislike the constant drag of repeating the same six actions over and over. Although I can do it, I don't find it very enjoyable. How enjoyable do you find it?

•You have to be a trustworthy player.

You can try advertising on your page and in forums, and then work out a deal for money. Some people pay you every month, some every week, some every so many horses you care for.

Questions you should ask about your new job:

•How many horses will you care for?

•What's the daily requirement?

•How will you be paid?

•On what standard will your pay be decided?

•Besides the six basics, what other actions if any would they like done with the horses?

•Are there any special requirements?

As a note, AP Farming for VIPs who have the automatic feed set is a dream. When you click feed, the amount on the slider that that horse specifically needs is pre set and all you need to do is click feed again. It actually does save you a lot of time scrolling up and down the page.

Note two: It may sound odd, but the bigger your screen, the less you need to scroll up and down, the better. I have a 15' laptop and had to scroll down to click the arrow buttons to switch between horses; it added probably 10 minutes to my time after you did, say, 500 horses. If you have a bigger screen than a 15', everything people standardly use in AP farming is on the top of the page and you won't have to scroll. Things will go way faster.
