Dive into River Farming!

Please Note: This feature is not yet available to players. 

Introducing, the Lantern! Dry your Water Crops to unlock special River Lanterns from Gus. Get all four Lanterns to unlock an exclusive Wasabi Crop Packet!

If you are level 15 or higher, you will see the following pop-up. Click on the “Okay” button to get started.

Using the Lantern:

The Lantern feature has four stages. Each stage requires a certain amount of Crops dried. When you dry your Water Crops, they will fill your Lantern bar. Each time you fill the bar, you will win a lantern that you can place in the water.

To see your bar, click on the Lantern to open the main menu. Your bar is located on the bottom of this screen. The number at the bottom of the bar indicates how many Crops you need to dry and your current progress towards this goal.

Note: To learn more about the Crop Dryer, check out the guide: Crop Dryer.

  

As you complete each stage you will unlock a new River Lantern. The stages and respective Lanterns are as follows:

• Stage 1: The Iron Light
• Stage 2: The Timeworn Radiant
• Stage 3: The Brassy Shiner
• Stage 4: The Sunbeam

Once you have dried enough Water Crops, you will be able to harvest your Clipboard by clicking on it.

The more Water Crops you dry, the faster you fill your bar. In addition, drying Water Crop Packets like Lotus counts twice!

If you do not want to wait to fill the Lantern bar, you can use Farm Bucks to skip these steps and get the next River Lantern right away! 

Wasabi Crop Packet:

Once you have earned all four of your River Lanterns, you can claim your Wasabi Crop Packet! The Wasabi is used in high value recipes in the Crafting Kitchen and Prized Wasabi are worth more points at the County Fair. If you would like a tutorial on the Crafting Kitchen and County Fair, please view our Official Guides: Crafting Kitchen and County Fair.

Click the “Share and Go To Market” button to purchase your first Seeds for Coins.

Additional Information:

• You are limited to one Lantern (feature) per farm.
• You have 21 days to earn the four River Lanterns. If you do not collect them all, the River Lanterns will disappear and you will be unable to claim them. 
• After the 21 days, you can purchase additional River Lanterns in the General Store for Farm Bucks. 
• Harvesting regular Crops do not count towards the Lantern. Only drying Water Crops in the Crop Dryer will count.
• If you want to see how much time you have left to claim your River Lanterns, hover your cursor over the Lantern (feature) on the dock.
