Have you been gem mining in Webkinz Next yet?

You can visit the mines once per day using either the entrance inside or outside the Curio Shop.

You can also jump directly into the mines from your map.

Search inside the mines for glittering rocks. When you get close to one, a pickaxe will appear that you can use to mine the rock.

There are five different colors: white, red, blue, yellow, and green. The color of rock you choose means there’s a chance you’ll find any gem rarity of that color. But there’s also a chance you’ll find 1 of 2 specific uncommon colors of gem, or 1 of 3 specific common colors of gems.

Unlike Classic, you can find up to 3 gems in one mining session. If you don’t find a gem, you’ll get slag instead, which you can keep to use as a material for crafting special items on the Curio Shop’s Gem Crafting Table.

If you find more than one gem in a single mining session, you’ll have to choose which one you take back to Amanda Panda. You see a counter showing you how many of each gem you already have stored in your collection so you can make an informed choice.

Once you take your gem back to Amanda Panda, she’ll make you an offer to buy your gem. The amount depends on its rarity and how much she wants it. If you’ve collected the Gem of the Day, she’ll offer you the maximum price for that type of gem.

If you choose not to sell, your gem goes into your collection box, where you can store unlimited multiples of each type of gem. Here’s a look at all of them:

Once you’ve collected at least 1 of all 30 different gems, you can trade in a complete set for a Crown of Wonder and walk around looking like Kinzville royalty!

Afterwards, you can keep on collecting gems for another crown, or use your extra gems on the Curio Shop Gem Crafting table to create some gem-tastic prizes!

 
How many gems have YOU collected in the Webkinz Next Gem Hunt? Let us know in the comments below!

First up, let’s take a look at Will’s Pantry.
 
 

 
 
You can buy up to 3 delicious treats for your pet each day. I’m getting hungry just looking at them! Next up is the Seed Stand.
 
 

 
 
A different selection of growing foods will be available. Some of them are in the W Shop, but take a look — it’s discounted here! There are several new crops to collect, too, but you can only purchase 3 each day the Farmer’s Market is available. Now let’s go to talk to Farmer Will directly!
 
 

 
 
Farmer Will loves fresh produce, but he’s picky about what he’ll take. He’ll pay a lot more than the W Shop if you’ve got what he wants. You can sell up to 50 of the food that he’s looking for. After selling your goods, it’s time to bounce on the Bouncy Castle!
 
 

 
 
Whee! You can also head over to the Face Painting station to get a free effect applied to your pet. Right now, it’s a butterfly potion. Click on the chair to get started. It will ask you if you want to apply the potion.
 
 

 
 
Note that this will override any potion you already have applied, so you might want to wait if you’ve already used one. It will not be added to your dock.
 
 

 
 
So much fun! Now time to head home and plant my new crops in the Farmer’s Plot.
 
 

 
 
The Farmer’s Plot goes into your home’s yard and you can plant any of the “ground” crops into it. If it’s in a pot, it doesn’t go in the Farmer’s Plot. Why plant in the Farmer’s Plot? Benefits could include… more produce, longer lasting produce… or competition veggies! Hold on to those for later. In the meantime, you can display them around your house!
 
 

 
 
So what did you find at the Farmer’s Market today?

What can you do in the Curio Shop? Look for deals on W Shop items and check for rare items by clicking on the Cash Register. You’ll also find the Wish Boutique — a place to spend your Wish Tokens on exclusive items and on past prize items you might have missed!
 
 

Of course, it wouldn’t be the Curio Shop if it didn’t have the Gem Mines! You can reach the mines by clicking on the Gem Hunt sign here, or enter it from Kinzville, or click on its map icon.
 
 

Run around the mine area with your pet and looking for glowing rocks! Click on them to see what you get — you might get a gem, or you might get slag! You get three chances a day to click on rocks — if you find more than one gem, you will get to pick the one you want to keep! Any slag you find goes directly to your dock (hold on to that for later!). When you’re finished mining, Amanda will offer to buy whatever gem you’ve selected, or you can keep it for your collection. Trade in your completed collection for the Crown of Wonder!
 
 

 
 
There’s a new Curio Shop challenge to help you get acquainted with all of the new features — look for it in your list of challenges on the left.
 
 

So update your apps and head to Kinzville to check out the Curio Shop and the Gem Mining activity — let us know what gems you find!
