The FarmVille Collections system has gone through some major revisions! The system is now much more streamlined (similar to the Wishing Well), so you don’t have to gather collectibles in your inventory and “Use” them later on. The six old collections have been replaced with six new ones, the prizes are exciting, and you can even level up your accomplishments!
You’ll automatically get the new Collections system the next time you play FarmVille after the update. Any of the collectibles you’ve acquired and used towards a Collection are now gone—however, you’ve been compensated a fair amount of XP and Coins for each.
If you still have a few of the old Collectibles in your inventory, unfortunately you’ll need to delete them as they are no longer in use.
You can see the new system simply by moving your mouse down to the bottom right, and then going over the Ribbons button.
When you see the strip of buttons pop up, click on Collections:
Here you see the new Collections interface. Four of the six new Collections are arrayed at top (just click on the arrow on the right to see the other two). The new Collections are:
* Berries
* Citrus
* Cows
* Flowers
* Grains
* Squash
What you need to complete each Collection is shown in the lower half of the Collections window, as well as the rarity of each item. All Collections require a certain number of three different Common collectibles, and a smaller number of Uncommon and Rare collectibles. Once you have enough of the collectibles, you’ll see a big “Complete!” notice and the “Trade In” button will light up (alternatively you can go ahead and purchase that Collection with Farm Cash using the “Complete Now” button):
You can also see what you have in the other Collections by clicking on the icon for each Collection.
Certain collectibles may also have a little green paper icon next to them—this means you can ask your neighbors to give you this item, though you can only use this feature once a day. Move your mouse over it and click on the “Ask” button to do so.
The prizes are shown at the bottom right; you’ll get Coins and XP for every trade in, and many times you will get an extra special prize item. You will also be shown an option to celebrate this accomplishment by sharing a random Uncommon or Rare collectible with your neighbors by making a post to your feed.
As you may have noticed, every time you trade in your collectibles for prizes the Collection levels up. Every time the Collection levels up you’ll need more collectibles to finish the new Collection level. However, the rewards for completing that new Collection level also increase with each level. The prize box shows what you can get for the current Collection level, but if you move your mouse over the arrow on the right a panel will slide out showing the prizes for the next Collection level so you can see what will be available ahead of time.
You acquire collectibles by harvesting items related to each Collection. You’ll get a collectible based on random chance for each individual harvesting action. For Berries, this would involve harvesting berry crops; Citrus requires the harvesting of fruit trees. For cows, you need cows. English Countryside and Greenhouse crops can count towards some of these Collections. When you use consumables for harvesting actions, every item that gets harvested gets taken into consideration (so there’s no advantage or disadvantage of using a harvesting consumable as far as getting collectibles goes). If you get a collectible you’ll see a little pop-up message telling you what you got.
Here are some things of note: you can only access new Collections if you’re level 10 or above. Special Delivery Boxes and Mystery Eggs will no longer provide collectibles—only harvesting actions and acquisitions from neighbors can get you collectibles.
