FrontierVille Fourth of July Goals: Everything you need to know

Earlier today, we brought you a sneak peek of the first goal available in the new Fourth of July series in FrontierVille. This three part goal series doesn't stop there, however, so we've compiled a complete guide that will see you celebrating the fourth in FrontierVille like never before!

First though, here's a quick refresher over the first goal's requirements:

Chop Trees 30 times on your Homestead or a Neighbor's
Plant 25 Wheat
Visit 15 Neighbors

Luckily, all three of these tasks are relatively basic, which is a good thing, as we'll only be able to complete these goals until July 21. For completing this first one, you'll receive 570 XP, one match, and a Blue Spider Firework. Both the match and the firework can be put to good use in your Fireworks Stand. Don't have one on your Homestead yet? You can learn how to build one in our complete guide.

For the second goal, "Stars and Stripes Forever," you'll need to tend some animals, along with actually putting your new Fireworks Stand to good use.

Tend 25 Geese on your Homestead or a Neighbor's
Have 10 Pyrotechnic Stars
Craft One Firework in the Fireworks Stand

Remember, you'll need to have completely finished the construction on your Fireworks Stand to craft anything within it, but you can find some of the crafting ingredients by simply completing tasks around your Homestead. One of these items just so happens to be the Pyrotechnic Stars that you need 10 of, but this item also comes with the ability to ask your friends to send them to you (conveniently enough). For completing this second goal, you'll receive 676 XP, one match, and a Red Peony Firework.

Finally, the last goal in this trio is called "American the Beautiful," and it asks you to collect quite a few more matches before all is said and done.

Find or Obtain 25 Matches
Tend 30 Apple Trees
Set of 5 New Fireworks that are Crafted from the Fireworks Stand

Feel free to harvest Apple Trees that are currently inside your Orchard. You don't need to pull them out for these to count. For finishing this final goal, you'll receive 776 XP, a July 4th Decoration Crate and a Giant Roman Candle.

Do you with more Fourth of July goals had been released in FrontierVille, on top of these three? Do you like the idea of being able to craft your own fireworks, or do you wish we could use the same fireworks we've been holding onto and crafting since last year?

FrontierVille: Fireworks Badges reward you for blowing stuff up

If you've ever wanted to blow something up, you can now do so in FrontierVille (only virtually, I'm afraid), and you'll actually be rewarded for doing so. As part of the new Fireworks Stand feature, you can now earn a series of four Badges that reward you for launching more and more fireworks crafted inside the building proper. As we told you before, you can find the ingredients to craft fireworks either by simply working around the Homestead, or asking your friends to send them to you (where available).

As you set off these fireworks, you'll earn points towards this new Badge, with the first level - Star Student - being available after you've set off just five. Here's the complete rundown of what you'll need to do to earn the rest:

Level 2: Shell Worker - Set of 25 Fireworks
Level 3: Mortar Packer - Set off 100 Fireworks
Level 4: Pyro Boss - Set off 500 fireworks

Of course, there's a fairly large jump to get from 5 to 500, but I suppose with enough diligence you could finish off these badges before the Fourth of July event ends on July 21. Just remember to not blow up your Fireworks Stand if you plan on crafting this many, or you'd have to rebuild it all over again (and as we all know, wasting time isn't very fun).

Will you go for the final, 500 fireworks Badge in FrontierVille, or is that simply too high of a number to require from us in such a short amount of time?
