armVille 2 Comments FarmVille Lighthouse Cove Pirate Bonus Goals: Everything you need to know

As we told you last night, the next set of 7 Comments in FarmVille will continue in the spirit of Halloween, but will transition from ghosts to Pirates on the high seas. After you've completed the three basic Pirate Goals - 7 Comments - you'll be able to move onto three harder Bonus Challenges, according to the folks at FVNation. Here, the goals will reward you with a few themed items (animals and decorations), but they'll also require you to do plenty of recipe crafting, plenty of farming and more, all within a very short time limit. Here's your guide for what to expect.

Bonus Challenge 1

    Get Creamed Corn to Level 20
    Harvest 110 Daylilies
    Harvest Lighthouse Cove


Daylilies take 16 hours to grow. In that time, you'll need to be working on your Cream Corn recipe (unless you're lucky enough to have reached this milestone ahead of time). Each individual Creamed Corn requires three Butter & Sugar Corn, three Tarragon and one Pepper Bushels. Since these goals haven't technically launched yet, and as you'll need to complete the first three Pirate Goals anyway, you still have some time to work on this before you're actually required to, which is a smart idea. For finishing this first Bonus Challenge goal, you'll receive 500 XP, a spooky, plant-covered Tombstone decoration, and 2,500 coins.

Bonus Challenge 2

    Achieve Level 1 Mastery of Butter & Sugar Corn
    Improve the Cove to Level 7
    Make Jonny Cakes 4 Times


Butter & Sugar Corn takes 12 hours to grow, and the first star of mastery is earned at 425 harvests (if you don't have it already). Jonny Cakes are crafted inside the Restaurant using two Butter & Sugar Corn, two Rye and two Daylily bushels each. Finishing this second bonus goal gives you 1,000 XP, 2,500 coins and a long-tailed Duck (the exact name might be different).

Bonus Challenge 3

    Harvest an Aviary
    Harvest 110 Dill
    Harvest one Orchard


If you haven't built an Aviary on your Lighthouse Cove, here's our guide to doing so. Meanwhile, Dill takes 12 hours to grow. For completing this final Bonus Challenge, you'll receive 500 XP, 2,500 coins and a Pirate Sheep. Plus, you'll also walk away with the satisfaction of knowing that you completed all three Bonus Challenges, which is sometimes a prize in and of itself.

Remember, you'll only have a matter of days to complete these goals once they launch in your game, so you'll want to do as much as you can before they arrive to prepare. Make sure to start crafting Cream Corn to level it up, or even expand your cove to hold more crops at once. How far you go will be up to you, but we wish you luck regardless.

FarmVille Lighthouse Cove Come Ashore Goals: Everything you need to know

As part of today's launch of the Lighthouse Cove farm in FarmVille to every farmer that's interested (whether they paid for admittance or not), a new goal series has been launched in the game, allowing even those new players a chance to become acquainted with their new farm, while also earning prizes. There are six goals in this new series, and they're limited edition, being available for the next seven days (or just a week).

Come Ashore!

    * Get 3 Piles of Hay
    * Harvest 10 Chandler Blueberries
    * Improve the Cove to Level 1


You'll need to earn the Piles of Hay by asking your friends to send them to you. As for the Chandler Blueberries, they take eight hours to grow, so even though you're not required to grow very many, that doesn't necessarily mean you'll be done with this one quickly. As for the Lighthouse Cove, you can repair it by collecting Logs, Stones and Steel Beams. For finishing this first goal, you'll receive 100 XP, the Restaurant, a Red Tractor and 2,500 coins. Hopefully you haven't already purchased a Restaurant for your new farm, as this will of course be worthless.

A Beach to Walk on

    * Get 6 Supply Boxes
    * Harvest 45 Darrow Blueberries
    * Place the Restaurant


Hopefully, if you are one of those users that placed the Restaurant before receiving these goals, it will automatically detect that it's present on your farm and complete this task for you. As for the Supply Boxes - you guessed it - just have your friends send you some. Darrow Blueberries, meanwhile, take just four hours to grow. Finish this goal and you'll receive 200 XP, a Sailor Cow (a cow in an adorable little sailor's hat and "tie"), a Yellow Seeder and 2,500 coins.

A Quick Tour

    * Harvest Lighthouse Cove
    * Complete 1 Wildlife Habitat
    * Make the Creamed Corn Recipe 1 Time


The Creamed Corn recipe is made inside the Restaurant, and it requires three Butter & Sugar Corn, three Tarragon and one Pepper Bushels. The Butter & Sugar Corn and Tarragon crops are new to the Lighthouse Cove farm, while you might already have some Pepper bushels on hand from your other farms. As for the Wildlife Habitat, you're given the frame of one for free when landing in the cove, and can then complete it by gathering Fence Posts, Shrubs and Grazing Grasses. Check out our complete guide to the Wildlife Habitat right here. Once you finish this third goal, you'll receive 300 XP, a White Cedar Tree, a Blue Harvester and 2,500 coins.

After finishing these first three goals, you will have walked away with a complete farm vehicle set (save for the Combine) that will allow you to complete all of the farming tasks required on your new farm. Of course, you can always purchase a Combine Chassis from the store for that three-in-one farming convenience, but at least you'll have these vehicles to rely on while you're waiting for the Vehicle Parts to pour in.
