News: New Collections Arrive

FarmVille has unleashed a sophisticated new Collections system today! Let’s get right down to it!

Upon logging in, you will be greeted with a screen like the one above, rewarding you by laying out additional Coins and XP for all of you have collected in the past. Out with the old and in with the new, however, as a brand new Collection system, complete with different tiers of success for each Collection, is now implemented in the game.

How it works is rather simple: every time you gain new pieces for these rebuffed Collections, be it from farming, checking your Trees, or as gifts from neighbors, they will automatically be stored within your Collections. Once you have completed a Collection, you will level that specific Collection up to a higher level. The third level of every Collection has a great new prize, ranging from Pumpkin Pigs to Rainbow Cows to Flowery Cows to Cherry Blossom Trees to Zesty Ponies.

Three Common items, one Uncommon item, and one Rare item are needed for each of the six new Collections. Once you have reached the height of success, it seems that the prizes will start over again, giving you plenty of opportunities to get more of the Cows, Ponies, and Trees as you go, along with all of the other goodies.

Here is a list of every reward:

Berries: Fertilize All (Level 1), Berry Crate (Level 2), White Cherry Blossom Tree (Level 3)

Citrus: Arborists (Level 1), Citrus Archway (Level 2), Zesty Pony (Level 3)

Cows: Fuel (Level 1), Flower Cow Topiary (Level 2), Rainbow Cow (Level 3)

Flowers: Coins (Level 1), Flower Basket (Level 2), Flowery Cow (Level 3)

Grains: Coins (Level 1), Wheat Scarecrow (Level 2), Spring Watermill (Level 3)

Squash: Arborists (Level 1), Gourd Gnome (Level 2), Pig Pumpkin (Level 3)

Are you excited about these changes? We are!

News: New Collections Coming Soon

Along with today’s updates comes a new notice regarding the arrival of a new system for Collections, allowing users to get prizes that they will actually want – including new Ponies and Cows!

As you can see by the image above, included in the upcoming Collection overhaul will be a new Cow that is rainbow patterned, as well as a new Pony with an orange mane that resembles the Pink and Purple Ponies of old. This is the first return to these types of Ponies since before the English Countryside’s arrival. Also included with the new Collections is a new watermill, a new scarecrow, and a crate full of berries.

No word on when this new stuff will drop, but we will keep you posted at the Post!

New Items: Kangaroo & Joey, and Polar Bear Cub

Let’s say dear ol’ Mom is big on something a little cuddlier than Magnolia Trees. Well, you might find some luck under the Animals tab!

First up is the lone new addition under the Animals tab for the week, but it truly is a memorable entry for that mother-and-offspring bond. After all, how much closer can you get to your Mom than living in a pouch designed to hold you? Thank goodness humans aren’t like that, that’d be way too creepy. This is the Kangaroo & Joey combo, which you can purchase as of right now for 16 FV Cash, the perfect price for a pair of adorable new exotic Animals. The Joey sticks its head out from the pouch while the Mom simply waits around, likely waiting to yell at Dad. We recommend this one. And yes, a normal Kangaroo, which looks different in color, was previously available in FarmVille.

And here is our returning item from yester-year, the long lost Polar Bear Cub from back during the Earth Day celebration. We guess this revival from the Market graveyard is in honor of giving Mom a cuddly teddy bear – only this one is near extinction. Still, it seems slightly out of place during a Mother’s Day theme, don’t ya think? Regardless, it is a cute, albeit curious entry into this specific theme. You can own this little guy for 22 FV Cash, the same as when it was originally introduced.

Are you buying either of these items this week, or are you saving your Cash up?

New Items: Magnolia Tree and Purple Magnolia Tree

Along with the brand new Pink Carnation Crop that is available for a Limited Time, there are a brand new pair of Trees on the Market, to boot!

This is the Magnolia Tree, and it certainly looks different from the previously-released pink Magnolia Tree from yester-year. That Tree, of course, could not be collected from, meaning it could not be Mastered. This new Magnolia Tree is fully Masterable, and is white with a very slight purple hue. Simply put, this is a must-own Tree for fans of Mastery in any variety. We specifically love the light tint of the bark, which looks entirely original. This might be the best Tree in all of FarmVille, truthfully. It costs 5 FV Cash and is worth every dollar.

The Level 2 edition of the Magnolia Tree is the Purple Magnolia Tree. Remember where we stated that the Level 1 Magnolia Tree had a purple hue? Well, it becomes the predominant color is its evolved form, bursting with glorious color to make a memorable Tree. The bark on this version is slightly darker, but certainly just as vibrant as a whole. These Trees are the bee’s knees, if you don’t mind our rhyming compliments. They both share the usual Limited Edition stats: 75 harvests to the first level of Mastery, takes two days to be ready and gives you 150 Coins per harvest. This one will cost you 10 FV Cash.

Our verdict is clear: these are two of the best Trees in FarmVille’s history.

New Items: Humming Birds, Mom Day Gnome, and More

Finally, amidst all of the cool Mother’s Day items lies an incredibly beefy Decorations tab! Let’s take a looksee.

Now this is a cool Decoration. This is dubbed the Humming Birds, and is definitely worth taking a gamble on. This one has the coolest animations we have seen for an animal in years – possibly ever – as the hummingbirds truly look as if they are real with their jagged movements and sharp turns. Three hummingbirds hover over this Decoration, varying in color between green, red, and blue, and zip around gleefully. This is unique and absolutely gorgeous, making it one of the best Decorations in months. It’s available for 12 FV Cash, and is definitely worth the admission price.

What better way to thank Mom than with a butler to serve her breakfast in bed? Well, he might be a tiny, inanimate Gnome, but we suppose it’s the sentiment that counts, right? While you surely cannot afford the task of hiring a real butler, this Mom Day Gnome may have to suffice. As you can see, he is carrying a tray containing juice, a sandwich, and a lovely vase of flowers. This one will cost you only 10 FV Cash, down from the usual 15-18 FV Cash that Gnomes usually cost. You’ll get 1,000 EXP for the purchase.

Next up, we have a couple of Decorations that vary in price range. On the left is the Dahlia Flowerbed, a beautiful flower that’s cozy inside of a square, pink base. We love the variety in these flowers, but every time we see a brand new flower used in a Decoration, we can’t help but want it as a Crop. It costs 5,000 Coins. To the right is the Mom’s Gift Basket, which is available for 1 FV Cash this week. This is a nifty option for those of you who feel the need to cheer up a friend, buy something as a “Get Well” present, or just flirt with a neighbor, providing multiple uses for a simple Decoration.

For some less ambiguous items on the Decorations tab this week for Mother’s Day, we have the Mom Day Sign II to the left and the Mom’s Day Sign to the right. The funny thing here is that the FV Cash entry, the Mom’s Day Sign, is nowhere near as cute or cool as the Coin option, the Mom Day Sign II. As you can see, some adorable birds are cuddling above the word “Mom” on the Mom Day Sign II, which is available for 80,000 Coins this week only. The Mom’s Day Sign is available for 2 FV Cash, and features a nice variety of in-game flowers surrounding a big heart. We much prefer the Coin option to the FV Cash option!

That concludes tonight’s update. We will be working on that piece regarding FV addiction tomorrow, so stay tuned for that!
