Player Appreciation Week and Gift Box Cleaning
FarmVille is having an appreciation week. And there will be new surprises each day. Among the features are the Double Mastery Week (which we been waiting, they have one of this last December), Special Delivery Boxes (added new items), Market Sale and among others.
Gift Box Cleaning:
They also announce that they will be rolling out a new feature that will help you free some space in your gift box easily. I’m sure you had an experience of clearing those quest items left over. You have to click one by one to sell it. They said that there will be some changes when in comes to receiving or claiming those quest items. The items you received or claimed to complete a quest will no longer appear in your Gift Box. If the new featured will be implemented, you will received credit automatically for the items and the remaining or left over quest items will no longer appear in your Gift Box. How you can keep track of how many of these items you have if your planning to repeat a quest? They claimed that they will be the one who will keep track of the items and assured that it will be carried over to credit a repeatable quest. Also you will receive a free gift of 20,000 coins to account for any coin value those items may have. This will be a great feature if you want to clean out your Gift Boxes for finished quests items and not manually clearing it one by one.
Special Delivery Box Updates:
As part of the Player Appreciation Week, FarmVille will add new items in the Special Delivery Boxes. Now you will also have a chance to get the following items:
Winter Wonderland Train Station Parts (wish they included Volcano Parts)
Ice Treasure Parts (finally we have a chance to get this in Special Delivery Boxes but we would appreciate it more if they included Crowbars it’s tough to get all 50 large crowbars)
Baby Bunny Hutch Parts (just for finishing the initial build and not for upgrades)
Mastery Sign Billboard Parts (for the initial build and upgrade parts).
Valentine’s Buildable Parts
This will be very handy especially for the upcoming Big Clean Quest. So save up those Special Delivery Boxes and keep sending one to your neighbors.

I have been playing farmville for about 3 mths and am so ready to quit…I just keep telling myself it will get better. Have talked to SEVERAL people that have the same tho’ts as me. Ex: Farmville can place a window for way too long while you travel to another farm…but I had no clue there was an appreciation week..but of course couldn’t have bought anything anyway since I my avatar gets stuck at time b/c my farm is so crowded & even with the quests it takes FOREVER to earn coins (which is a ridiculous amoun, 2,000,000) to upgrade my farm for about the 4th time. There is barely enuf room to have plots to accomplish the quests that you need in order to earn enuf coins. I can’t even place the buildings I need. I collected animals to earn coins. As a friend said you spend 2 hrs a night playing and can’t tell much accomplishment…who has that kind of time every night. I repeatedly watch my gifts and it will show that I have 25 special deliveries & 10 other gifts. AFter accepting I go to my gift box & there is 8 special deliveries. I know some of the others are not there and if i had gifts from 10 people when it sends the gift back to them it will only list 3 to 5 people so it doesn’t send everyone a gift back. I am so ready to quit! I could go on & on. You can only send 1 or 2 items per person a night…well if I only have 3 people online I can’t collect for the quest, it takes me week or two to build a building, couldn’t complete the expansion on barn because if they aren’t online when you request it & it doesn’t show up on their feed, they do not go to your page and look, therefore you may not receive anything that night except 25 special deliveries of which 8 are actually delivered. I have heard a few people say they set up a fake account just to help them get their things sent to them. I don’t have the memory of some & have several pages on favorites but still have trouble finding onethat the quests are updated so I can keep up with what is next on my list in order to plant ahead. I don’t like that you can accidentally harvest if moving you mouse too fast b/c the harvest tool is attached at all times when hovering. If plants are ready but quests hasn’t rolled over yet you better hope you planted 1 or 2 extra plots in case u accidentally harvest one. Same with pens..The more I think about it I think I will QUIT.I know FV can care less.
Thank you very much Kerry for your insight about the game. I hope Zynga/FarmVille can read your comment and hope that they take into consideration the points you just made and improve it. Like the cursor being on a default harvest tool that when you click on something it automatically harvest a crop. I still have a farm that has a crop the never withers, it was a promo before. I didn’t harvest it up to now but some of it’s plots are now harvested because of accidental clicks it ruins the design. And also about when receiving gift items, i am planning to redeem the Rainbow Horse so i am collecting the “Moon” pieces it show that my neighbors sent me 25 pieces but when i check my Gift Box i only receive 2 pieces. This always happens and also with the quest items especially if your getting near the required number. I wish they can improve this part. Coins are usually small if given as a reward with quest but you can actually earn big coins by planting those seeds from Green House. I normally do this during quest break (when i finished a quest). To avoid having a crowded farm i designed my home farm as a quest farm then place my decoration items and designed my LC as a decoration farm. Since LC has a lot of open space I’m making it like small town with evergreen train, decoration buildings from quest rewards, exchange reward items and rewardville items.
25 special deliveries gifts of which 8 are actually delivered at least 3 times a day for the last week is crazy and all they do is send me 50 one time and tell me they are working on the fix!
i AM ALSO READY TO QUIT. i AM A SENIOR CITIZEN ON A FIXED INCOME. I PURCHASE FV CASH TO HELP EXPEDITE THE TIME IN HARVESTING FOR CROPS. I SPENT 20 FV CASH TO BYPASS ITEM IN QUEST. I DID NOT RECEIVE FLYING SHEEP SO WHEN QUEST DONE SO HOW COULD I HARVEST IT LATER. ON LAST QUEST I SPENT 50.00 AND WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE ENTIRE QUEST I WAS ON LAST DAY. MORE TIME NEEDS TO BE GIVEN FOR THESES QUESTS. NOT EVERYONE IS TIED TO THE COMPUTER.
I’m in the same situation. I can’t believe the amt. of $ that I am spending, just to keep up with quests, or house my animals. Now I know why lots of people have animals running all over the place!
I have never spent money on Farmville and I do not think I ever will. I started playing back in 2009, so I do have a large home farm and millions in coins. I stopped playing for 6 months or longer and just started up again recently. The quests make the game more interesting, but not enough that I’d spend actual money on the game. I do what I can and if I can’t do that quest, then I work on another one. Or just work on building the animal pens that will help complete the quests faster next time. My Jade Falls farm is not large enough to grow enough crops to complete the quests in one growth cycle. So I don’t stress on the JF quests since they’re impossible for me to complete now. One day I hope to do them, but I’m ok with not being able to until I play more and am able to upgrade my farm again.
