New Properties Event FAQ

It is time to start building again, and New York is the spot!  Each week a new building will be introduced, and players will have the duration of that week to level that building up as far as possible.


Q:  Will this new building only be available in New York?
A:  Yes.  You will be able to see this each new building on your New York properties page.  The first new property will be listed next to the current craftable properties.

Q:  What level does the building begin with?
A:  Each building will begin at level zero.  You will need to collect three of the parts needed to upgrade to the first level before you can start crafting items.  If your building does not reach level 1, you will not be able to craft items, although you will still retain the building.

Q:  What is the highest level that I can upgrade each property to?
A:  You will have the opportunity to upgrade each building to a maximum of 10 levels.

Q:  How will I obtain the parts needed to upgrade my new property each week?
A:  The parts needed to upgrade each property will be available through feeds.

Q:  What will happen to the extra or unused parts that I have collected each week?
A:  The unused parts required to build the properties will be reset to zero each week when a new property is introduced.

Q:  How will I know when a new building will be introduced?
A:  A new building will be introduced each week.  There will be a timer located on the property to keep you on track.  Be sure collect all the parts needed before time runs out!

Q:  What happens if I don't fully upgrade my building?
A:  You will only be able to craft up to the level which has been completed.

Q:  Will I be able to purchase the level upgrade with Reward points?
A:  It will be possible to purchase incomplete level upgrades if you are unable to reach the maximum level during the week

Q:  Why do I need to upgrade my buildings?
A:  The higher the building is upgraded, the better the items will be that you can craft.

Q:  What type of items will I be able to craft?
A:  As with the existing properties there will be a variety of items that can be created.

Q:  Is there going to be an option to rush craft items in the new properties?
A:  The new properties will function similarly to the existing craftable properties, and you will be able to rush crafting for Reward points if you have the parts available.
