FarmVille English Countryside Sneak Peek: Emperor's Hops sprout up

Zynga has wasted no time in releasing new crops, buildings and more to its FarmVille expansion, English Countryside. In fact, FarmVille Freak is finding hints at new crops in unexpected places like the game's Mastery charts. At this point, you have to think at least some of these leaks are intentional. (Very sneaky, Zynga.)

Players have reported finding a crop called Emperor's Hops in their Mastery charts within the game. There's no information given about the crop other than that it will take 780 harvests to reach the first Mastery tier. At the very least, it's safe to guess that Bushels from the Emperor's Hops will be used in future Pub recipes. Either way, we'll surely find out everything we need to know about these apparently superior hops soon enough.

Have you seen this unreleased crop in your Mastery charts yet? What type of beers do you think Emperor's Hops will create?

FarmVille Sneak Peek: New Collections system coming soon

This is not your average FarmVille Sneak Peek. No sir, today we present to you a brand new feature that's headed to Zynga's cash crop (I know, brilliant): A new Collections system. FarmVIlle Feed has found some early images of the upgraded Collections feature, revealing that any partially-completed Collection will be finished off once this update lands. While no other significant details are provided, we can infer from the images that Collections will take on a sort of Mastery system.
FarmVille Collections Prizes
This means that players could be able to complete Collections more than once for even greater prizes than before. It looks as if players will "level up" their Collections to redeem huge rewards as levels increase. Now, as long as the game doesn't make Collection items requirements for future Goals, we'll be in the clear.
