What are FarmVille Super Crops? How they work?

Howdy Farmers! FV has released yet another awesome feature by raising the curtain off FarmVille Super Crops.

What are Super Crops?
Now you can grow your crops to super sizes and the best thing is that they will help you in earning more coins, XPs and Bushels! On mastering the Super Crops, you’ll also receive a gold plated mastery sign for your achievement. Wow! Gold-plated was something missing in FV so far.

How to Get Super Crops Feature?
You will automatically see the following pop-up, when you login to your farm. By clicking the “Unlock now” button,  you will be taken to the “Seeds” section of the FV Market.

How many Super Crops are there?
Not all the crops are Super crops at the moment. Only nine new Super Crops can be found in the Market which can be distinguished by their Golden border card and  the “Super” title at the beginning of their name.

Following nine new Super Crops are available at this time:-

• Super Cotton
• Super Pumpkin (Different from the Super Pumpkins from the last year's fan event)
• Super Yellow Mellon
• Super Grape
• Super Watermelon
• Super Pepper
• Super Strawberry
• Super Pink Aster
• Super Cranberry

Are the Super Crops Readily Available in Market?
No! In order to unlock a super crop, you must first fully master the basic version of the crop. For example, if you wish to plant Super Strawberries, then you must first master 3-level mastery for Strawberries Crop. Without mastering the basic version of the crop, you can not plant a Super Crop and you will see the following screen when clicking on the “Unlock” button:

 After mastering the basic version of the crop, the Super crop will be UNLOCKED, but before this you have to complete another step as well. When you click the “Unlock” button on a Super Crop you have mastered, you will see the following screen:

The Super Crop will be available for planting as soon as 6 of your friends certify. You can also pay Farm Cash and get Super Crop immediately by paying some valuable Farm Cash, but I know most of you will prefer to get help from friends. After all, friends are meant to be helping :)

After unlocking your Super crop, you can immediately start planting it. After mastering all 3 levels of a Super Crop, you will be rewarded with a Gold-plated Mastery Sign as below:

Each time you achieve a mastery level, you will also be able to share packages of Super Crop seeds with your Neighbors for a limited time (7 Days). These seeds will allow your Neighbors to temporarily plant the Super Crop you have mastered, even if they would not otherwise have access to the crop. These seed packets can be found on the Free Gifts page and can be sent to any of your Neighbors.

If you receive a seed package from a friend, keep in mind that the crops still have their original level lock (for example, if strawberries normally unlock at level 20, you would not be able to use the Super Strawberry Seeds unless you were level 20 or above).

Each package you receive contains 20 seeds (this means you can plant a total of 20 super crops for each package of seeds you receive from a friend.)
In addition to the seed packages, you will also receive a one-time coin and XP bonus for each level of mastery you attain for a Super Crop. The rewards are as follows:

• Super Mastery Level 1 - 1000 Coins and 50 XP
• Super Mastery Level 2 - 3000 Coins and 150 XP
• Super Mastery Level 3 – 10,000 Coins and 500 XP

As mentioned earlier in this guide, Super Crops will earn you additional coins, XP and Bushels when planted. Please find the information for each of these crops in the table below:

Each time you find a bushel from a Super Crop, you will be granted 4 instead of the usual 1. Please note that Super Crops only grant bushels for the basic version of the crop. This means that if I harvest Super Strawberries and find a bushel, it will be a normal Strawberry bushel, not a Super Strawberry Bushel. Because of this, you cannot use bushels on Super Crops to gain a Mastery Bonus.
