Earning Coins
Earning plenty of coins is the primary goal of playing Ravenwood Fair.
The best way to do this, is to build lots of games for your visitors to enjoy. This attracts more visitors, who will then spend more money - obviously the initial construction of the attractions costs money, so it is a balancing act to an extent.
To build games you need to clear space, and cutting down trees will generate you coins with each chop (between 1 and 20 coins). It requires energy, so again it depends on the exact circumstances you are in.
By being proactive and clicking on visitors (those who are frightened), you will earn 10 coins per click. Keep an eye out for these individuals as it is another good way to get coins.
The most coins are earned through completing quests. Normally these won't require much of an outlay on your part, but will give you back plenty of coins. Watch for new quests appearing and try to focus on completing them.
Finally, you should take part in the social side of Ravenwood Fair. By clicking on your friends' feeds, you can find coin-sharing posts and get around 10 coins from each of these. Get plenty of friends and the coins will be piling in! Also, visit your friends' fairs to earn energy, coins and XP - you get this bonus once per day, per friend.
