FarmVille Sand Castle Arrives as Summer Collection Event
Have you been wondering what those Beach Balls were for? Well, to put in your FarmVille Sand Castle of course! FarmVille reminds us that “Life is Beachy” and you can now create an endless summer on your farm. In case your farm’s terrain needs a makeover, you can also purchase a beach landscape in the FarmVille Market for 1,000 Farm Coins.
The FarmVille Summer collection event kicks off with the Sand Castle that is now slowly rolling out to farmers. If you don’t have it yet, you soon will so hold tight. After the update is made available on your farm, you will be greeted with a pop-up notification (as seen above) and will then enter into Placement Mode. You can choose to place your Sand Castle immediately or put it away for safekeeping in your FarmVille Gift Box until you’ve cleared enough room to place it.
Building your Sand Castle
The Sand Castle is a dual purpose “building” that not only looks great on your farm when completed, but also serves as a “collection basket” for your Beach Toy items. To build your Sand Castle simply fill it with beach toys.
You’ll be using those Beach Balls and other beach toys such as the Crab, Pail, Spade, and Sunglasses to fill up your Sand Castle and later redeem for special exclusive prizes (see below).
The Sand Castle has a total of six stages. At each new phase, the Sand Castle changes appearance becoming larger and more grand as you fill it with your beach toy Summer Collection items.
Collecting Beach Toys
There are several ways for you to collect Beach Toys including:
* Send and Receive as free gifts from the FarmVille Gifting Page.
* Using the “Ask for More” option when clicking on your Sand Castle.
* Collect from the Facebook News Feed.
* Craft Beach Toys in your Craftshop.
* Purchase directly with Farm Cash.
The cost of direct purchase for 5 Beach Toys in the FarmVille Market is 5 Farm Cash per pack.
* FarmVille 5 Pack of Beach – 5 Farm Cash
When you are all done collecting Beach Toys or when you reach a milestone for a redemption prize, you will be able to trade them in for special exclusive prizes that are obtainable only through the the Sand Castle. These redemption prizes are not featured in the FarmVille Market.
