Crafting - p. 1 | Buildings FarmVille Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Crafting
This function allows you to create many kinds of articles on your own, like perfumed candles, sake or delicious cakes. It is available on the 25th experience level. After you reach it, you can choose one of the three buildings: Bakery, Winery or Spa, and buy it for 100,000 coins. Think carefully, while only one of them can be bought for regular coins. During the next visit at the Market, you can notice that other two buildings cost ... 80 Farm Cash each.
As for the interface, it doesn't matter which building you buy. It is the same in case of all of them, they just differ visually. After your first visit in new building, the game offers you a short tutorial explaining the rules. Thanks to this you are able to create your first product.
Crafting products
To try out the Crafting, first of all you have to own the right type and amount of bushels as indicated in the recipe (you will learn how to get them in the chapter on goods exchange). On the left side of basket image you can see two numbers. The first one indicates how many bushels you own, and the other means how many of them are needed to prepare a product.
If you do not have enough bushels, click the Get Bushels, and you'll be moved to the screen where you can look at friendly farmers' offers. Once a day you can Get from the same farmer up to three bushels, but if none of them has desired crops, consider using Ask option. By doing this you may suggest your friends to plant a particular crop which may result in bushels you need. You may also notice Start bushel co-op job and Buy all ingredients bars. By clicking the first one you'll be moved to the cooperative mode, where you can work together with your friend looking for bushels. The second one is of course connected with buying all missing ingredients using Farm Cash.
Finally, when you have all needed ingredients, click the Make It which begins crafting. To have it done you need 6 real hours and you can check the progress of crafting by moving mouse cursor over the slot visible on the left side.
After the crafting is done, you have to click Finish It in order to use the product you've just created. Then it is moved to the Use Goods bookmark. Depending on the product quality (its level, we'll move to this subject a little bit later) clicking Use results in some amount of fuel. For now it is the only reward for using crafted goods, but in the future there might be some other features connected with this.
Your neighbors can also benefit from your crafting. Farmers who click Get Goods will get an access to copies of your products. If someone of them decides to buy it, the greater part of money will increase your account (no one knows where the rest goes). You will be informed about that next time you visit FarmVille, by an email or via Facebook board.
These are the common rules for Bakery, Winery and Spa.
Finally, a general notice. While crafting, the game will propose to share your accomplishments with your friends (typical Share) very often. If you feel such a need, do not hesitate to do this, while people who read your entries typically will have an opportunity to gather some bonuses too.
