CityVille Spring Fling: Everything you need to know

A new limited-time-only quest has been launched in CityVille, with that quest being called Spring Fling! This one sees Ruth returning with her friendly flock of pigeons to have a celebration of flowers. Until June 21, you'll be able to complete this quest for a lovely Cherry Hill decoration (yes, the quest window says Wildflower Hill, but the item is actually called Cherry Hill as of this writing), but don't think that reward comes easily.

You'll need to complete the following three steps:

Ask Friends for 6 Spring Flowers
Ask Friends for 8 Flower Bulbs
Revive 40 of your Neighbors' Crops

While asking for items is a fairly self-explanatory task (both of these requests go straight to your wall, and you can ask for both things at once), the crop issue could turn into a fairly big deal, if you only keep active neighbors on your roster. That is, the best way to finish this quest would be to head to the cities of neighbors who no longer play the game, and revive any crops they might have left behind. But what if all of your neighbors have living crops? I suppose you'd just have to ask them all to pitch in, planting a set of five crops and then purposefully letting them wither. Either that or shell out the 45 City Cash to skip this step outright.

Whatever your plan, remember that you only have the next two days to complete this quest, and receive the Cherry Hill prize, before it expires, taking this exclusive decoration along with it.

So, you've already helped the farmers in your quest to be governor in CityVille, and now it's time to help another group of citizens in your town: the toy makers. This newest trio of Toy Maker goals can be found after you've helped the farmers, and they'll also introduce a new Community Building to your town. Here's a complete rundown of what to expect, and how to earn the vote from these toy makers. Note: you must be at least level 50 to access these goals.

The Misfit Toy Maker

    * Place and Build a Toy Factory
    * Collect from the Toy Factory 10 Times


Unfortunately, this goal requires you to build a new community building in your town, so I hope you have enough room to do so. The Toy Factory sits on a 4x4 square plot of land, and would normally cost 1.25 million coins to buy in the market, although there are rumblings that you'll receive one for free in your inventory once you start these goals (I personally didn't receive one, but whether that's a glitch, or by design I can't say). The building adds a whopping 3,750 citizens to your maximum population cap, and requires 12 staff members to complete. That is, you'll need to ask 12 friends to help you complete the construction of this one, so I hope they're helpful! For finishing this first goal, you'll receive 2,800 coins as a reward.

Toy Soldier

    * Ask friends for 12 Toy Blocks
    * Upgrade Toy Store to Level 2
    * Place 20 Hearts in your city


As we've told you before, the Hearts are markers you can place in your town to let your friends know exactly which items to interact with whenever they visit. You can add them to your town by accessing the "Get Help" button in the cursor menu in the bottom right corner of the screen. As for upgrading the Toy Store, you can find a complete guide to doing so right here. Finish this goal and you'll receive 1,400 Goods.

Playtime is Over

    * Ask friends for 15 Wooden Duckies
    * Build Toy Tower
    * Collect from Toy Tower 15 Times


The Toy Tower is a new business that costs 1.75 million coins to purchase from the store. Hopefully we'll receive a free one of these as well, but if not - we've been warned! Once built, it requires a whopping 475 Goods to operate, and will supply you with 2,393 coins by default when collecting its profits, if you don't surround the building with payout bonus decorations. As for the Wooden Duckies, just ask your friends to send them to you, and you'll eventually finish this one off (not that it'll be easy, but it's not impossible either). Finish this final Toy Maker goal and you'll receive 100 XP. Whether or not that's worth all of the Goods you've spent on your Toy Tower or not will be up to you.

At this point, you will have finished helping the Toy Makers in your run for Governor, but still have one more group to help before Act 2 of this new political feature will start. We'll make sure to let you know what that final part entails as soon as we know more, so keep checking back.

What do you think of these Toy Maker goals? Are they too complicated to be in the middle of a larger feature, possible causing some users to get stuck, or do you appreciate such a challenge? Sound off in the comments.
