We’re still in the run-up to Halloween, and the limited edition spooky decorations keep comin in FarmVille. For coins you can now buy Jack-O-Lanterns and Cat-O-Lanterns, Plant Monsters (what do they eat?), tombstones and a dreadful fence. If you’ve got FarmVille cash to spare then you can splash out on giant spiderwebs and gargoyle gates.
New this morning are the Mystery Boxes – spend 15 of your FarmVille bucks on them and open them to get a mystery prize. It could be a cool new decoration for your farm or up to 200 XP, but how good they’re going to be remains to be seen. I’ve seen people getting bicycles and tree swings so far.
People are getting into the swing of crop mastery now, but as there’s no way to rush it, getting those bonuses takes time! And although the ‘Shutterbug’ ribbon has been MIA for a few weeks, we now know what’s replacing it – the Crop Whisperer ribbon. As you help out on your friend’s farms you’ll be given sacks of fertilizer with which to fertilize their crops and gain points towards your new ribbon. Fertilized crops sparkle and give XP when they’re harvested, but so far the fertilizer has been given a limited roll out and most people are still waiting for their chance to start working towards the ribbon.
