FarmVille St. Patrick's Day Animals: Shamrock Pony & Shamrock Pig

As part of tonight's FarmVille update, Zynga released two new animals in the current St. Patrick's Day theme of limited edition items. One of these items was recently featured in a scam that you may have spotted on your news feed (well, its foal was anyway), but rest assured, this release of the animal is the real deal. That animal of course is the Shamrock Pony, while the other new animal is the Shamrock Pig.

Both of these animals go for Farm Cash, with the Shamrock Pony being the more expensive of the two animals, at 26 Farm Cash. The Shamrock Pig, meanwhile, costs 18 Farm Cash, which is still a fairly hefty price all things considered. Then again, you should never really expect new animals to be available for coins, so I guess the price isn't that great of a surprise.

The Shamrock Pony can be harvested once every three days, while the Shamrock Pig can be harvested from once every two days. Place these animals in their respective animal buildings, however, and you can claim your profits (however meager) once per day.

Both of these animals will be available in the game for the next two weeks, so feel free to take a few days to decide if the Farm Cash price is really worth it.

What do you think of these animals? Are they worth the high Farm Cash price just because they're limited edition?

FarmVille St. Patrick's Day Decorations: Shamrock Cottage, Shamrock Pond, Stone Wall & More

A series of five new decorative items (one building and four true decorations) was released to the FarmVille marketplace with tonight's update, with more of these items (surprisingly) being available for coins, rather than Farm Cash. The new building is one of the two Farm Cash items, and it comes int the form of the Shamrock Cottage.

The Shamrock Cottage is available for 34 Farm Cash, but watch out - it's basically the exact same item as the Irish Cottage, which was released as a prize in the St. Patrick's Day Wishing Well, except with a darker green color. Whether or not the different coloring on this item makes it worth the Farm Cash price is questionable, and will of course be up to your discretion. Either way, you'll receive 3400 experience points for purchasing it.

Meet us behind the break for a look at the four other items released this evening.
The one other Farm Cash item is the Green Broadbill, a decorative pair of birds perched atop a decorated twig of sorts. The branch is covered in lovely pink flowers, making this item stand out from other similar decorative animals that have been released in the past. You can purchase a Green Broadbill pair for 15 Farm Cash, but again, they are purely decorative and can't be harvested from, so don't purchase this if you're trying to make a profit in coins as with other animals.

Meanwhile, the three coin items are the Shamrock Pond, the Shamrock Topiary and the Stone Wall. The Stone Wall acts as a new fence for the theme - a stack of low gray stones covered in moss - and a single piece of the wall can be purchased for 10,000 coins. The Shamrock Topiary costs the same at 10,000 coins, and you'll gain 100 experience points for purchasing either item.

Finally, the Shamrock Pond is the most expensive of the three, by a long stretch too, as it costs 250,000 coins. While this pond looks more natural than structured, it does take on a loose shape of a shamrock, or three-leafed clover, surrounded by pink flowers, clover plants, and a few stones. You'll gain 2500 experience points for purchasing the item.

All of these items will be available in the game for the next two weeks, giving you a bit of time to save up the coins or Farm Cash necessary to purchase any of them should you so choose.

Which item is your favorite? Do you think the Shamrock Cottage should be available for coins, since it's basically a copy of an already released item?
