Hidden Chronicles Coin Fountain: Win up to 1 million coins each day

While coins may not be as important as energy in Hidden Chronicles, they still allow you to purchase all sorts of decorations and buildings for your estate, which can then be used to unlock additional scenes. Since this is a cycle that we can't really avoid, why not help increase you in-game bank account by adding to it with up to one million coins each and every day? You can now have a chance at doing just that by building the Coin Fountain on your Estate.

The Coin Fountain requires building parts to construct:

3 Aqua Vitae8 Fintail Goldfish5 Marble Blocks4 Mosaic Tiles1 Trident
The Marble Blocks and Tridents are earned by asking your friends to send them to you via individual requests, while the other three items are earned via general news posts on your wall. Once the Coin Fountain is finished, you'll be able to collect from it once every nine seconds for a chance at up to 1 million coins.

To be specific, you'll spend two energy each time you wish to collect from the fountain, and are guaranteed to get some amount of coins in return - that's right, this is the first time a fountain has ever given us coins, rather than the other way around. There's no guarantee that the coins you'll receive will be great or small, but there is a chance for one million coins, which would definitely be worth the two energy investment, wouldn't you say?

What do you think of this Coin Fountain? What would you do if you received 1 million coins in Hidden Chronicles? Sound off in the comments.

FarmVille Enchanted Love Decorations: Romantic Cottage, Wedding Fountain, Princess Gnome & More

by Brandy Shaul, Posted Apr 28th 2011 12:34AM

With tonight's FarmVille update, we see the release of seven new decorative items in the Enchanted Love limited edition item theme, inspired by the real world wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton. However, just like the animals released this evening (the Welsh Corgi and Knight Steed), this set of "new" items actually contains some re-releases from past themes. We'll make sure to let you know what those are (saving you some coins / Farm Cash) as we go along.

First, a new building is available in the form of the Romantic Cottage. This cottage is accessorized with lovely pink ribbons along the roof line, and you can add one to your farm(s) for 20 Farm Cash. You'll gain 2,000 experience points for purchasing the building, and as it doesn't necessarily scream "wedding," you could keep this item around for Valentine's Day, anniversary celebrations or any other "love" themed event you can imagine. I don't know about you, but I love items that can multi-task, and this is definitely one of them.

Along with the Romantic Cottage, six "new" decorative items are available to purchase, with only half of these items truly being new to the game. The three completely new items are the Wedding Fountain, Wedding Bouquet, and Flower Pot, which cost 12 Farm Cash, 100,000 coins, and 20,000 coins each, respectively.

Meanwhile, make sure you check your Storage Sheds or Cellars before purchasing the Prince or Princess Gnomes, along with the pieces of Wedding Fences, as we've seen these items in the game before. The Prince Gnome and Princess Gnome go for 15 Farm Cash each, but were originally seen back in the Fairy Tale theme back in February (for the same price). Meanwhile, the Wedding Fence was also seen back in February, but in the Valentine's Day theme.

All told, while none of the re-released items have become more expensive, it's always smarter to take a few seconds to check your storage buildings before spending more Farm Cash / coins, so I hope I saved you some cash there. If you haven't purchased any of these items previously, they, along with the entirely new items, will be available in the game's store for the next two weeks. While these items may come back at a later date (three of these items are proof of that), do you really want to take the chance that they won't? Yeah, I don't either. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to buy some new decorations for my farm!

Did you already own the re-released items in tonight's theme, or will you purchase everything for the first time now? Let us know in the comments.

FarmVille Mardi Gras Decorations: French Quarter, Carnival Float, Mask Fountain & More

by Brandy Shaul, Posted Mar 7th 2011 12:26AM

With tonight's FarmVille update came the release of three new decorative items in the game's new Mardi Gras theme, along with the re-release of two items that were first made available in the game at around this time last year. These new decorations are split into two actual decorations and one building, with the building being the French Quarter - a building that is styled after those you'd see on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, the home of Mardi Gras.

The French Quarter is quite substantial in size, so keep that in mind. It costs 25 Farm Cash to add to your farm, and you'll gain 2500 experience points for purchasing it. The building has no function, but simply looking at this intricately designed and colorful building seems to be enough.

Meet us behind the break for a look at the other items released this evening. As for the decorations, again, some of these are new and some were released last year. Both of the new items are Farm Cash only, with a Carnival Float being available for 12 Farm Cash, and a Mask Fountain costing 15 Farm Cash. Personally, the Mask Fountain is the much more interesting item here, regardless of its slightly higher price tag, as it animates with flying confetti and of course water pouring out of the fountain's top and sides. You'll gain 1500 experience points for purchasing the Mask Fountain, and only 120 for buying the Carnival Float.

Finally, the two re-released items are the Carnival Mask I and Carnival Mask II. Both of these items are available for coins, and come in the form of masks perched on sticks. Both cost 2,200 coins, will reward you with 22 experience points for purchasing, and can be sold for 110 coins in return. Luckily, these are the exact same stats as when they were first available in the game, so no need to feel bitter about a price hike here (as has been the case in the past).

Remember, the Fairy Tale theme that had taken up residence in the game over the past few weeks has officially ended, so if you're looking to spend coins and Farm Cash on some new decorations in the game, you can either pick over what's still available in the store (a selection that is lessening quickly as things expire), or you can jump into the Mardi Gras spirit and pick up items in this new theme, which will be available for the next two weeks.

Which of these items is your favorite? Do you have any of the Carnival Masks from last year, that you're pulling out of storage for this year's celebration, or are all of these items new to you? Let us know in the comments. Bookmark this site!
