FishVille goes country with two new FarmVille environments

Posted: 20 Mar 2010 11:30 AM PDT

FishVille released a heap of new FarmVille related items on March 19 and, today, has added two environments to complete the whole farm theme in the game. The first is a rustic farm scene, called FarmVille, that costs 6 Sand Dollars and the second is called Tilled Soil and costs 3 Sand Dollars. If you're up for spending a few Sand Dollars, have to admit that these will certainly put a little bit of country into your fish tank.

Cafe World FarmVille collectible #2 has arrived -- the Mini-Scarecrow. Like the Mini-Barn, this item will only be available to send to friends for 24 hours, so start sending before it's too late. One item will roll out every 24 hours (roughly midday if today is any indication) for the next 10 days, so you gotta stay on your game to collect them all.

Cafe World Super Stoves promise one-click cooking

cafe world super stoves promise one-click cooking

Love to play virtual restauranteur but hate all that clicking just to feed hungry customers? Cafe World promises to make that task easier with new Super Stoves, described as "Premium super stoves that will let you skip all of the ingredient steps for lightening quick one-click cooking." Sounds pretty good to us. There's a catch, though, if you want to try one of these stoves for free when they launch (date TBD) -- you must give Cafe World permission to send you email. Even if you don't want Cafe World emailing you all the time, might be worth signing up and then unsubscribing later just to snag one of these one-click wonders.

Cafe World lost recipe found: Grandpa's Finger Lickin' Ribs

Posted: 20 Mar 2010 10:00 AM PDT

grandpa's finger lickin' lost recipe

Remember's Grandma's Lost Apple pie recipe that mysteriously appeared in Cafe World a few weeks ago? Looks like another lost recipe has been found -- this time Grandpa's long lost recipe for Finger Lickin Ribs'! After logging into the game, we received a random notification (see above), which prompted us to put a post on our Facebook wall asking for help getting 'a whole barrel of rare Sweet Sassafrass,' to complete the ribs recipe. Once the recipe's complete, it will serve 400 hungry customers. Speaking of hungry, all of this talk about ribs is making our stomachs rumble.


Have you found Grandpa's lost recipe yet? If you know how much $$ it's worth, let us know in the comments below.

FarmVille Horse Stable upgraded, yielding coins (and baby horses)

Posted: 20 Mar 2010 02:00 AM PDT

FarmVille has upgraded the Horse Stable
farmville horse stable upgraded

The Horse Stable is now possibly yielding Foals (baby Horses). You may place the new adoptable Wandering Stallion or any other Stallions such as the White Stallion (Past Mystery Box Prize) in your Horse Stable and increase the chances of yielding a Foal. When collecting from your Horse Stable you may produce a Foal and have the opportunity to share with your FarmVille neighbors via Facebook newsfeed. The Foals are quite adorable, and even though you may want to keep it for yourself, the only way to get one is by adoption.

Note: You may only have one Stallion in your Horse Stable at one time. The Wandering Stallion is not a permanent animal like other adoptables, it is more of an event. (Please read details below from Lexilicious).

Additionally, you will now receive coin rewards when harvesting or collecting form your Horse Stable.

Official word from FarmVille Community Manager, Lexilicious:

"Horse Stables:

Periodically, you will receive a pop-up informing you that a "Wandering Stallion" has appeared on your farm. This pop-up will allow you to post a feed to your wall. Ten of your Neighbors can click on this feed to give shelter to the Wandering Stallion.

Unlike other "Lonely" animals, the Wandering Stallion is an event, and is NOT a permanent animal that can be kept on your Farm.

If you choose to give the Wandering Stallion shelter, he will automatically be placed into your Horse Stable. If you have a Wandering Stallion, you have a chance of receiving a Foal the next time you collect from your Stable.

If you already have a Wandering Stallion in your Horse Stable, you will not be able to get another. Clicking on multiple Wandering Stallion feeds from your Neighbors will not increase the chances of a Foal being born.

When a Foal is born, you will receive a pop-up informing you that your newborn is eager to explore the world. This pop-up will allow you to post a feed to your wall. Five of your Neighbors can click on this feed to receive a Foal.

The type of Foal you receive is determined by the types of horse in your Stable. Please note that the Pink Pony, Brown Pony, High Kick Horse and Spectator Horse will produce a Brown Foal.

Once you harvest from your Stable and find a Foal, you will have to click on a new Wandering Stallion feed to have a chance of making another foal.

The Limited Edition "White Stallion" can be placed inside your Horse Stable and will act like a permanent Wandering Stallion. Each time you harvest from your Stable you will have a chance to find a Foal. If you receive a Foal, you will not get a consumable. If you do not get a Foal when collecting from your Stable, you still have a chance of receiving an Arborist, Farm Hand or 100 XP.

Baby Foals can be brushed every 24 hours and cannot be placed inside your Horse Stable.

If the Wandering Stallion does not give you a Foal and you also do not get a Consumable, you will receive a coin bonus."

Note, only one Stallion can be in your Horse Stable at any given time. We've all seen the unreleased images of the baby horses and now they are finally here! You can only have one Stallion in your Horse Stable at any given time.
