ATL_farm
…welcome to Atlantis, the newest expansion in FarmVille!


Traveling to Atlantis

As the new expansion rolls out to more and more farmers, some players will receive an early access offer and will see this message appear when entering FarmVille: 
Blast_atlantisearly

Clicking the green Buy & Go! button will gain you early access to Atlantis, new quests, and exclusive items! If you cancel this message and would still like to visit Atlantis, you can still get there by clicking on the Atlantis icon in the Neighbor Bar...

Find Fun Under the Sea with Shell Points!

Like Mistletoe Lane and Enchanted Glen before it, Atlantis boasts a new type of scoring system: Shell Points! You can earn these points in a number of fun ways:
  • Improving your Atlantis Palace and Atlantis Garden
  • Purchasing Limited Edition items
  • Planting Undersea Crops
  • Completing Quests
  • Expanding your Atlantis Farm
  • Unlocking Treasures (more on this later!)

As with previous expansions, all players will start out as Level 1 in Atlantis, regardless of your level on your Home Farm or other expansions.
Large Buildables in Atlantis: Atlantis Palace and Atlantis Garden
Upgrade the Atlantis Palace and Atlantis Garden in Atlantis to complete the look of your mystical undersea farm! You can harvest them for bushels and other goodies, and each level you complete will award you some Shell Points!

What you will need to complete Atlantis Garden:
  • Marble Vase

All building materials for the Atlantis Garden can only be crafted in your Atlantis Craftshop! Below, see the recipe requirements to craft each part:

Like many other Buildables in FarmVille, Atlantis Garden grows more visually impressive as you upgrade it. There are 4 stages to this Buildable, however, at Stage 4, it’s a little bit different.

Once you complete your Atlantis Garden to Stage 4, it looks complete. But, you can keep upgrading your Atlantis Garden up to Stage 50, and harvest it for even more gifts at each stage. More details about upgrading your Atlantis Garden from stage to stage are below:

Craft Subaquatic Snacks in the Coral Café!
Gather bushels of ingredients to make maritime munchables in the Coral Café!

Use your crops to craft Shellfish Surprise, Sea Melon Sorbet, or maybe the appetizing-sounding Plankton Smoothie? Level up your recipes to improve your Coral Café!

Breed Creatures of the Deep in your Marine Observatory!
Want to try your hand at Mystical Marine Biology? Visit the Marine Observatory! You’ll find the incomplete version of this building on your Farm when you arrive in Atlantis.

  • Ask for Parts: Send a request directly to your friends for parts you need
  • Complete Now: Pay Farm Cash to quickly complete the Marine Observatory
  • Move: Option to move your Shop

There are 3 different types of parts you need to complete your Marine Observatory, and you will need 10 of each. You can send requests directly to your friends and neighbors to ask for these parts, as well as give and receive them as Free Gifts:
ATL_marineobservatory_parts
When you have all the parts you need, you can complete the Marine Observatory. It only has one building stage:

Once your Marine Observatory is complete, it’s time to start making magical creatures! Collect Fish Scales to unlock the mystery creatures. You can do this by:
  • Harvesting your Marine Observatory for Fish Scales
  • Purchasing Fish Scales with Farm Cash
  • Clicking on your friends’ feeds when they are sharing Fish Scales

Increase the variety of creatures in your Marine Observatory to increase the chances that you’ll harvest a rare type of Fish Scale!

When you arrive in Atlantis, you’ll notice Treasure Chests and Clamshells scattered around your underwater farm:
