This feature is currently only available to a randomly selected group of users. To ensure the health and stability of the application, we will be gradually releasing this feature to all of our players in the near future.

Please note: Due to the gradual release, if you have a Neighbor who has access to this feature, you will be able to participate in their co-op, but not be able to start one of your own.

Crafting Jobs for Co-Op Farming!

With today’s update we’ve added the ability to take on Crafting Co-Op Jobs as well as your Basic Jobs. The Crafting Jobs are all based on the crafting recipes available with their respective Crafting Buildings in FarmVille; each Job requires that a certain number of recipe ingredients need to be planted and harvested before a certain time period in order to get the reward.

The process you go through to start and finish Crafting Jobs is essentially the same as Basic Jobs. Crafting Jobs generally have a longer time limit to complete, and if the availability of which Crafting Jobs you can take depends what recipes you have unlocked with the crafting building(s) you currently own. For example, if you own a 3-star Winery only the first nine Crafting Jobs can be started (the other six are locked) by you. However, you can still participate in a Crafting Job started by a neighbor even though you can’t start it yourself (this means all crafting recipes). Finally, Crafting Jobs can reward XP, coins, and bushels (and goods for those that only have market stalls).

We’ll go through the major differences below.



Access to Crafting Jobs is through the same Co-Op window. Currently you default to “All Jobs”, which shows all available Crafting Jobs. You can also see there is a new Crafting Jobs tab, which will just show you what Crafting jobs will be available for you to start:



Here we have all the Crafting Jobs that associate with winery recipes. If you have unlocked these recipes with your crafting building (in this case, a winery) then you will be able to Start a co-op job for that recipe. If you haven’t unlocked those recipes, the Start button will be grayed out with a “Locked” notice:



Click on the green Start button if you want to see more about that particular Crafting Job:



Here you can see what you’ll need to complete the co-op, how soon to get the medals, and if you move your mouse cursor over the Gold Reward symbol at bottom left and you’ll see the major reward for that Crafting Job. Many Crafting Jobs will reward sets of bushels related to that crafting recipe.
To begin the Crafting Job, click on the Start button.



The rest of the process is almost entirely similar to regular co-op jobs—you can ask your neighbors to join your co-op in order to hit your job deadlines. Your neighbors do not need to have access to those crafting recipes in order to participate in a Crafting Job. As you and your co-op friends seed and harvest crops, the meter is updated accordingly in your Active Jobs listing and as a pop-up in the game itself:



The Crafting Job ends when you meet the goals within the given amount of time, or you run out of time (in which case the reward is nothing). Note that you can purchase additional time with Farm Cash via the green Purchase button on the bottom left of the Active Job window.



As with Normal Jobs the more you contribute to the Crafting Job, the better your reward.
