Tonight, the Hot Pink Pig made its return to FarmVille!
The Hot Pink Pink, a previous Limited Edition Valentines Day animal, seems to have replaced the regular Pig in the FarmVille Market. The regular Pig has been moved to the free FarmVille Gifts page. You can now send free Pigs to your FarmVille neighbors via the Gifting Page. While the regular Pig is now giftable, the Hot Pink Pig will cost you 18 FV$ farm cash and is set to expire from the market in 12 days.
This Pig change is most likely due to the recent addition of the FarmVille Pigpens and gives everyone a chance at filling their Pigpens with occupants for free.
As mentioned by last week’s FarmVille Podcast, a new Neighbor Visit feature is being rolled out in FarmVille. Please note, currently this feature has limited access, not all farmers will be able to see this function yet.
The updated FarmVille neighbor visiting will allow you to visit your neighbors’ farms and complete tasks such as
Harvest Trees
Harvest Animals
Plow Land
Fertilize Crops
FarmVille Neighbor Actions Icon
You will be able to complete up to 5 actions or tasks per visit.
FarmVille Neighbor Visit Information
Upon completing tasks while helping out on your neihgbor’s farm, both you and your neighbor will be rewarded with XP and coins. After completing tasks on your neighbor’s farm you will be rewarded instantly, similar to completing neighbor tasks in FrontierVille. However, if someone helps on your farm, you will have to accept each task they did to be rewarded.

FarmVille Crafting Mastery for Strawberry Shortcake Recipe
As you know FarmVille Crafting Mastery is now available for all farmers.
To begin your Crafting Mastery just continue making your Goods. When your Recipe levels increase you will unlock more levels of mastery which will give you more XP and Coins.
Each Recipe is organized by Star Levels. The higher tier level of your Crafting Building, the higher the Craft Mastery will be for that Recipe. Each Recipe will have five Mastery or Star Levels available per each Crafting Recipe. If it seems confusing, refer to the chart below, provided by Zynga, that displays what Recipe Level is required before you can unlock a specific Mastery Star.
FarmVille Crafting Building Recipe Mastery Levels Chart
Zynga’s Example: “If you have a 1-star Bakery on your farm, the first recipes available to you were Pumpkin Bread, Strawberry Shortcake and Spicy Muffin. You can earn your first Mastery star in those three recipes once that you reach recipe level 20. If you upgrade your Bakery to 2-star, you unlock a new slew of recipes: Patty Pan Tart, Triple Berry Pie and Peanut Butter Cookie. For these recipes you need to reach recipe level 23 to get your first Mastery star.
In order to get a second Mastery star for Pumpkin Vinegar (which requires a 4-star Winery) you will need to raise your recipe level to 39.”

Craft Mastery Rewards & Craft Mastery Signs
So, you may ask what is the point in participating in Crafting Mastery? Just like with Crop Mastery, mastering a Craft Recipe rewards you with additional XP (experience points) and bonus Coins. Not to mention, you get a cool Crafting Mastery Sign for your farm to let everyone know that you are a master crafter.
After earning your first star with a Crafting Recipe, you will be rewarded with a Recipe Mastery Sign. You can find the Craft Recipe Mastery Sign in your FarmVille Gift Box. By placing your sign on your farm you can simply hover over the sign to check your Mastery progress and what you need to reach the next Star Level.
Whenever you earn more star levels, your sign will automatically update to reflect your current mastery status.
Crafting Building Mastery Signs can also be placed in storage.
The chart below reflects the specific Recipe Mastery level with coordinating XP and Coin Rewards.
FarmVille Crafting Mastery Recipe Rewards
Upon earning each star level, you will be given the opportunity to share a FaceBook newsfeed notice with your FarmVille neighbors. Up to 5 neighbors can receive a free good from your post.
Remember, that any progress up to this point is retroactive, meaning that all your hard work will automatically count towards your Crafting Mastery.
Some of you may find as soon as Crafting Mastery was released you immediately earned Crafting Mastery for some Recipes by finding the Crafting Mastery Signs in your FarmVille Gift Box.

Do you like this new Garage feature and will you participate in it?
This new FarmVille Garage feature will allow you to upgrade and store your FarmVille vehicles such as your Tractors, Seeders, and Harvesters.
You can build your Garage with the help of your FarmVille friends and neighbors. The Garage feature also allows you to “Plow, Plant, and Harvest faster”.

You may remember from a past official FarmVille Podcast (dated May 21st 2010) that FarmVille Community Manager, Lexilicious, mentioned that farmers would soon be introduced to a new FarmVille storage system. This new Underground Storage would provide a new method of storing all of our FarmVille decorations and buildings.
According to Lexilicious, the Underground Storage would be:
Coming Soon
Available through coins or farm cash as Cellars.
You can store up to 200 items in the same size area (footprint) of one plot of land.
You will start out with a smaller number of slots and will need your friends to help grow crops for them.
These crops will give you energy to dig underground and increase the size of your cellars.
You will be allowed a maximum of 2 Cellars.
Having 2 Cellars will mean that you have a storage capacity of 400 items for your combined Cellars! All in the space of 2 plots.
FarmVille Underground Storage
Status: “Coming Soon”
Function: Store up to 200 items per Cellar
Cost: ?
Release Date: ?
With tonight’s update, FarmVille has added new in-game social Pop-Ups.
You may have noticed these Pop-Ups that appear much like the neighbor suggestion pop-ups. However, these new Pop-Ups will focus more on your FarmVille neighbors’ in-game play.
There is also a new HUD icon that is located on the left sidebar of your farm’s in-game screen. This new icon will tell you which one of your FarmVille friends have recently been farming or are “active player” status. Additionally, if you click on the icon you will be able to send items to those active players.
What do you think about these new in-game pop-ups? Are they helpful or an unintentional annoyance?
