Building the Firefly Lantern:
Fireflies are coming out of Hibernation, so now’s the time to collect them in a special lantern. Release Fireflies at dusk and they will light up your farm, plus receive a bigger Crop Harvest bonus for 24 hours!
Your first step is building your Firefly Lantern. You will need the following items to start construction:
  • Paper Lanterns
  • Firefly Nets
  • Awls

To collect Paper Lanterns, click on the “Post” button to post to your Facebook wall; you will get the parts when your friends click on it, or when you click on a similar newsfeed post.
Click on the “Ask” button to send requests for Firefly Nets and Awls to your Neighbors. If you do not wish to wait for your friends, you can skip any of these tasks for Farm Bucks.

When they accept, you will see the spots in the Building Menu begin to fill. If you do not wish to wait for your friends, click the “Hire One” button to purchase crew members with Farm Bucks. Once you have successfully filled all four spots, click on the “Finish and Share” button.
