FarmVille The Key to the Castle Goal: Everything you need to know

This is it, the moment you've been waiting for. Wait, what moment, you ask? Duh, it's time to receive the key to the Castle on the English Countryside. Well, not your castle, but the Duke's--and he doesn't even know which one it belongs to! This next FarmVille Goal is the third in a series of four to kick off Part 4 of the English Countryside. Titled "The Key to the Castle," this climactic courier mission sends players to find the key to one of the Duke's many castles and it's fairly simple ... fairly.

    Plow 200 plots
    Get 6 Magnets
    Get a Cow


Alright, we only said it was fairly easy. And, actually, it can be if you want it to. The Goal doesn't distinguish any particular crop used in the process or whether new plots need to be plowed. So, you could just plant a bunch of crops you need and give the Bi-plane an old run.

The Key to the Castle rewards
Or, just plant lots of Red Currant, the fastest-growing crop on this side of FarmVille at the moment. The six Magnets are friend-requested items, while getting the Cow is as easy as clicking on the "Get Cow" button in the Goal menu. Help find the Duke's castle key, and you'll score 200 XP, one Knight Gnome and 2,500 coins.

FarmVille Country Bunnies Goal: Everything you need to know

Sure, bunnies are adorable, fluffy and all that good stuff. But you never know when this might happen, so watch your back! The final Goal to kick off Part 4 of the English Countryside expansion in FarmVille is here. Known as "Country Bunnies," this Goal tasks us with helping Olivia the Dairy Farmer wrangle up her favorite animal--you guessed it--bunnies. Start saving your Shovels now, as this Goal takes a lot of digging.


    Harvest 100 Radishes
    Dig your Storage Cellar to 50
    Buy 1 Country Mini Hedge


To harvest 100 Radishes, you'll need at least 9,000 coins and 18 hours of your time. Unless you have some Instant Grow (or Farm Cash) lying around, of course. To dig your Storage Cellar all the way down to Level 50, you will need at least 25 Shovels.
You can either buy them for Farm Cash or request from your friends. The Country Mini Hedge is a 200-coin decoration from the Market. Once you finish this fourth and final Goal, 200 XP, Bunny Ears for your avatar and 2,500 coins are yours.

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.
