FarmVille Fairy Tale Avatar Costumes: Fairy, Princess, Knight & More


What better way to really show your love for Fairy Tales and all things fantasy-related in FarmVille than to deck out your in-game avatar in one of the game's newest themed costumes? These costumes will see your character jumping right into a storybook, but there are more options available here if you're a girl player, than if you're a boy.

Either way, you can now pick up a complete Fairy Costume (including Wings) for 10 Farm Cash), a Knight Costume (with a helmet that covers your avatar's entire head) for 30 Farm Cash, and a Princess dress and shoes for 100,000 coins. If you'd like the hat to complete this Princess outfit, this is unfortunately a separate purchase, being available for 5 Farm Cash on its own.

The only good thing about the above is the fact that you can simply purchase the Damsel Hat and leave the Princess dress alone, if you're simply looking for some nice headwear, rather than the full ensemble. Regardless of which on you choose, all will be available in the game for the next two weeks. We'll be sure to let you know if Zynga releases more themed costumes in the future, so keep checking back.

FarmVille: Zynga gives away free Duckling to all players


If you've been having trouble finding Ducklings randomly when harvesting from your FarmVille Duck Pond, or if you can't see to snag any of the free Ducklings posted by your friends, Zynga is looking to help you out by offering you a free Duckling.

This, as of now, is simply a one-time-only bonus, that appears as an in-game pop-up the first time you play the game after this update. You'll be given a free Brown Duckling, that can grow up into one of a variety of different adults, if you gather the help of enough friends within the time limit. Hopefully, you won't suffer from the same empty menu and broken help requests that were experienced at the initial launch of this feature in the game.

It's great that Zynga has made an attempt to at least partially make up for this feature's bugs by offering users a free Duckling, and we can only hope that the feature is now bug-free once and for all. Just make sure to login to FarmVille soon to claim your free Duckling while it is available.
