FarmVille Co-Op Farming: Crafting Jobs coming soon for every farm

Zynga will soon expand Co-Op Farming in FarmVille to cover Crafting Jobs as well for the game's three crafting buildings: wineries, bakeries and spas. The update, which is being released slowly across the game's 60 million-plus players, will allow farmers to collaborate on large-scale versions of Crafting Jobs that users have unlocked on their own. Fortunately, players can participate in a Crafting Job started by a neighbor even if they can't start it alone.

Players will be timed as soon as they begin production of large amounts of crops and be able to win gold, silver and bronze medals depending on how fast the job gets done. Don't fret, you'll be able to buy more time for each job with Farm Cash as well. In addition to winning medals for fast completion times, teams will also be rewarded with coins, XP and Bushels of crops relevant to the crafting recipe at hand.

While these jobs are essentially harvesting a huge amount of crops against the clock, the bonus XP, coins and bushels should (hopefully) be well worth the effort. Stay tuned for when these new jobs hit your Co-Op menu and if you haven't created any crafting buildings yet, that should be your first order of business.

FarmVille Halloween Sees Re-Release Of Old Favorites, Plus New Goodies

The biggest day in October is quickly approaching, and with that we see Zynga adding even more new items to the game's marketplace, in the form of new animals, buildings and quite a few new decorations. Among these new items are a few items that long-time players will remember from last year's Halloween celebration.

Hit the jump for the full look at all of the new items, along with our returning favorites.
This newest set of items in FarmVille plays on a very old cliche, by offering us a pig that could probably fly, a lovely little cottage made from a pumpkin, and even a ghostly gnome that floats above the ground.


For those farmers that were with the game during last year's Halloween event, you'll likely notice the return of the Haunted House, the Tomb Stone and the Spooky Tree. Remember, the Tomb Stone isn't just a decorative piece of rock - it comes complete with an animated ghost cow that rises above the item every few seconds, much as the newly released Ghost Sheep tombstone contains an animation of a ghost sheep rising from the ground.

Remember, these items will only be available in FarmVille until Halloween. While we've been lucky this year, seeing many of last year's items being re-released for new players (or those that simply chose not to purchase them last year), who knows if we'll be so lucky in 2011.

FarmVille Holiday Limited Edition Showcase [video]

'Tis the season, and FarmVille's rolling out limited edition holiday-themed items with a vengeance, and it looks like we'll be seeing a Snowflake Ferris Wheel and White Unicorn (awesome!) in the not-too-distant future.

As a side note: While a lot of these limited edition holiday items are rather nifty (I've been lusting after the Eggnog Fountain in the Market, myself) I've also had to deal with the fact that the majority of these items can only be purchased with Farm Cash. Boo-hiss.

Either way, take a look at FarmVille shiny new objects in the showcase video above -- even if you don't want to shell out real-life cash, you can see what you're missing (or not missing, as the case may be.)

FarmVille: Platinum Combine now available, but only for the Holidays

Couldn't get enough of the Silver and Gold theme of items released in the new FarmVille Mystery Game last night? You're in luck, as Zynga has added another shiny, regal item to the game in the form of the Platinum Combine - shop fast though, it will only be around for the holidays.

This Platinum Combine costs a whopping 110 Farm Cash, the equivalent of around $20 US, if you look at the current exchange rate on purchasing Farm Cash packages. As with other Combines (whether you built one, or purchased one from the store), this Platinum version allows you to Harvest, Plow, and Seed your land with a single click, saving you time, but not fuel in the process, as the Combine uses the same amount of fuel as if you had completed each of the three basic farming tasks separately.

As a nice incentive to purchase the Combine, it starts out allowing you to plow, plant, and harvest on nine squares at a time, rather than a smaller amount as seen with other Combines (specifically the Red Combine that many users chose to build back in September).

As part of the Winter Holiday series of limited edition items, this Platinum Combine will only be available for the next 42 days - sure, that's a heck of a lot longer than the other Winter Holiday items that are still available in the game, but you might want to purchase this item sooner, rather than later, so you don't forget and then miss out.

FarmVille Greeting Card Contest: Win 1,000 Farm Cash and riches galore!

FarmVille Community Manager Lexilicious gave users a sneak peek of this newest contest in the latest official FarmVille podcast, but for those that didn't listen, we now have all of the details on the recently launched FarmVille Winter Holiday Greeting Card Contest for 2010.

This contest calls to all aspiring artists and asks them to create a holiday greeting card that, of course, has FarmVille as its theme. These cards can be created either virtually, through Microsoft Paint, Photoshop or another image creation/editing program, or you can put your real-life artistic skills to good use and draw, paint, or otherwise create your own card in the real world and then photograph it for your entry.

Your entry needs to be posted on the FarmVille forums before December 31 in order to be considered for the many prizes you can win. After this point, the FarmVille team will select the top ten winners. What do you win? Why, only one of the best prizes ever - a whopping 1,000 Farm Cash, 1 million coins, and any limited edition FarmVille item of your choosing (so long as the item is either currently available in the game, or has been previously released - no unreleased items unfortunately).

What are you waiting for? Put those thinking caps on and come up with your own creative ideas that could be worth financial security in the game for weeks or even months to come (or just some shopping spree money - the choice is yours).

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Disco Pony & Disco Cow

With the new year quickly approaching in FarmVille, and therefore the current Winter Holiday theme soon to come to an end, one of the big questions on my mind is "What will be the next limited edition theme in the game?" According to some recently leaked unreleased item images, we may have found our answer.

Two new animals will apparently be coming to the game sometime in the future, and they know how to get down and party. They are the Disco (Elvis?) Pony and the Disco Cow. As Zynga is always willing to add a bit of whimsy in with the realism, both of these animals are decked out and ready to party. The Disco Cow has a black afro wig, bellbottom hoof sleeves, and purple sunglasses, while the Disco Pony is wearing an outfit that looks like a toned-down version of an Elvis costume. And of course, there's a Disco Pony Foal to match.

While these items might very well be coming along with a new theme in the game, there is another possibility, in that these items could be a part of the upcoming New Year's celebration in the game. We already know that we'll be throwing a huge party out by a new barn, but could these be a few of the animal participants? Only time will tell at this point.

As usual, there is no guarantee that these items will actually make appearances in the game, so keep that in mind.

FarmVille introduces Citibank Citi Specials promotion - 30% off $50 Zynga eCard

If you're a Citibank credit card holder, you may be interested in learning more about Zynga's newest cross-promotional activity in FarmVille. The two companies have partnered to create "Citi Specials," a new activity that is available to find in the same area as free Farm Cash promotions - underneath the bottom right corner of the FarmVille gameplay area.

Clicking on the Sponsored Link [pictured] will launch the activity, where you will first have to prove your eligibility by entering the first 6 digits from your Citi Credit Card. As the promotion is only open to cardholders, you'll have the ability to snagging a $50 Zynga eCard (Game Card) for 30% off the normal price - or just $35 US.

This eCard will be delivered by email, and don't be afraid to send it to yourself. Once you receive the eCard as a gift, you'll be able to redeem it in-game for either 310 Farm Cash, or 92,000 coins (I think the choice is pretty obvious, don't you?). You'll also receive 3 Mystery Darts as a bonus, that can be used to take a stab at the latest installment of the Mystery Game in the store, for your chance at snagging perhaps three of the current limited edition animals (hang onto them until tomorrow and the items should cycle out into Valentine's Day items - or at least that's the rumor).

As we said before, if you aren't a Citibank credit card holder, unfortunately, you won't be able to participate in this activity, but we'll be sure to let you know if any other similar activities launch in the future.

Are you eligible for this Game Card discount? Will you take advantage of the offer to land yourself some discounted Farm Cash?

FarmVille Rumor Mill: Posts about locked Dairy Barns / Stables are fake

While this might not fall into the category of a FarmVille scam, it is something to take note of all the same. Over the past few days, a new nasty rumor has been spreading to the status updates of many concerned FarmVille players, with the post warning against Dairy Barn and Horse Stable "stuffing." Stuffing, in this case, is the common term for the infinite breeding tips we've brought you in the past - the fact that you can place a ready Cow or Horse into an "unready" Dairy Barn or Horse Stable, and transfer that ready status to the entire building.

The Status Update looks something like this:

    WARNING FV BREEDERS and Dairy Barn Stuffers: Zynga has decided these actions are a breach of the TOS despite the fact that the programming has allowed it, and are locking stables and dairys of players doing it. 1srt time 24 hours. 2nd time 3 days. 3rd time possible game and/or FB account removal. This will l...eave many of us with nothing to do.---- PLEASE REPOST THIS!!!!!!

Of course, as with any rumor, this issue was quickly brought to the official FarmVille forums, where moderators and community managers have jumped onto the rumor as being simply that. As "ItchieEye Sam" states, for instance, "This is a nasty rumor and not true at all."

I think that's one thing we can all be relieved about.

Do you practice these "stuffing" methods? Did you stop "stuffing" because you saw these status updates on your news feed?

FarmVille billing system down for maintenance

Tonight FarmVille players encountered a yellow text banner above the game informing them about a maintenance downtime for the FarmVille billing system. This downtime means that no one will be able to buy Farm Cash or coins from Zynga beginning at 11pm Pacific Standard Time. The estimated downtime is only 45 minutes, however it has already been 50 minutes and the banner is still displayed above the game.

This billing downtime is only for FarmVille; all other Zynga games appear to be uninfected. If you were planning to get your hands on more Farm Cash or coins tonight, you're going to have to stay awake until the downtime is over or make your purchase tomorrow. It's nice when developers give us a heads up on downtime and maintenance so that we know what to expect.

Most bizarre FarmVille crop ever: Watermelon babies

In one of the weirdest FarmVille crop photos ever, Gorbie from the official FarmVille forums has shown us the before and after of the Watermelon Baby Crop from FarmVille China. This isn't your typical watermelon - this crop actually makes a little odd looking baby pop out of it when it's ready for harvest. When it dies, the watermelon dies and turns brown, taking the baby down with it. The dead baby watermelon becomes less bright, but otherwise remains the same.

Needless to say, some players are finding it a bit disturbing that there is a "dead baby" in the game. Because the Watermelon Baby Crop is a 5 minute crop, players have to harvest it very quickly before they end up seeing it dead on their farm. This can be a little disturbing to players who are sensitive to that kind of imagery. Of course, it isn't a human baby (it looks more like a groundhog) and we're sure Zynga didn't intend for it to disturb players. This crop is only available in the Chinese version of FarmVille.

Check out the rest of our FarmVille Cheats & Tips right here.

What do you think of the Baby Watermelon Crop? Disturbing, cute, or funny?
