FarmVille Sneak Peek: Craftshops to receive quests and new building materials?

It's been a long, long time since we've seen any new building materials released in FarmVille, but with the new Craftshops, it looks like that very well may be the case. We've come across some unreleased images dealing with the construction of these new (equally unreleased) Craftshops, which tell us that you'll be able to leave the Wooden Boards, Nails, and Bricks behind (at least for one building), and collect Hammers, Concrete, and Spools of Twine in their place.

We've also been able to predict that the launch of the Craftshops will come with at least a three-part mission series, as you can see the three logos for those quests in the image at the top of this post. Sure, we don't know what those quests will entail, but it does mean we'll need to stay on our toes all the same.

As usual, we'll make sure to give you all of the details about Craftshops when they're officially made available in the game, so keep checking back.

In the meantime, let us know what you'd do if all of your Wooden Boards, Nails, and Bricks suddenly became useless. Would you be happy you could clear out your stockpiles? Or, would you be upset that you'd have to start three new collections all over again?

FarmVille Craftshops: You can build them, but you can't use them (yet)

Attention farmers! The FarmVille Craftshop has started to slowly rollout to certain (lucky) players. Just as we predicted (this evening too!), you'll need to build this new building using three new construction materials: Spools of Twine, Hammers and Concrete.

You'll need 10 of each of these ingredients to build your Craftshop (thank goodness it's not more, since we're all starting out with zero stockpiles), with these items available to send to your friends via the game's free gifts page. You can also earn these items by looking inside the frame of your Crafting Shop and then asking your friends to send you these items - basically, it's the same setup as every other building, but with different ingredients.

Unfortunately, once you build the Craftshop, it doesn't really do anything. Ok, it does nothing currently, but we are given this image as a confirmation that new crafting abilities will be "coming soon." Specifically, the image says that we can "Make farm aides, decorations, and much more."

Remember, a lot of these crafting items (at least those pictured) look to be those that we can already earn from other methods (Love Potions, Bottles, and the Fertilize Alls), so perhaps these are just placeholder images for what will be a much more exciting feature down the line? We can only hope that that's the case.

What we do know is that a new quest line comes along with the release of the Craftshop, and that the first quest in the set will require you to complete two tasks:

Buy the Craftshop
Fertilize 25 Plots on Neighbors' Farms

We'll make sure to bring you the news on the other missions in this Craftshop series just as soon as we can, so keep checking back.

In the meantime, let us know if you've been lucky enough to receive a Craftshop. What do you think of needing three new building materials?
