Coral Island offers a relaxing yet engaging farming simulation experience, and for completionists, the achievement system adds another layer of fun and challenge. This guide will walk you through some key achievements in Coral Island, providing tips and strategies to unlock them efficiently and enhance your gameplay. Whether you’re aiming to become a legendary farmer or a ranching magnate, understanding these achievements is a great way to progress and explore all that Coral Island has to offer.
Simple Life
Achievement: Harvest 100 crops
This is one of the earliest and easiest achievements you’ll likely unlock in Coral Island. Focus on planting and harvesting crops, and you’ll naturally reach this milestone, probably before your first summer ends. To speed things up, prioritize regrowing crops available at Town Rank F, such as blueberries, corn, and hot peppers during the summer. These crops allow for multiple harvests from a single planting, significantly accelerating your progress. If you’re starting with resources from a previous save file, you might even achieve this in Spring by utilizing Spring crops.
Specialty Farmer
Achievement: Ship one crop 1000 times
For this achievement, again, regrowing crops are your best friend. Hot peppers are highly recommended due to their summer to fall growing season. By focusing on hot peppers from the start of summer and planting a substantial amount, you can realistically achieve this within your first year on Coral Island. This strategy allows you to maximize your harvests and shipments from a single crop type, efficiently working towards the achievement.
New Rancher on the Block
Achievement: Ship 2 animal products
Once you’ve built your first coop, chickens are the most affordable and accessible animals to start with, costing 600 coins. Ensure you have hay to feed your chickens daily, and this achievement will naturally follow within a few in-game days. Starting your ranch with chickens is a simple and quick way to unlock this early ranching achievement.
Fresh from the Farm
Achievement: Ship 5 animal products
Similar to “New Rancher on the Block”, simply continue caring for your animals and shipping their products. Maintaining your animals’ happiness and ensuring they are fed will quickly lead to unlocking this achievement as you expand your ranching operations.
Variety Farmer
Achievement: Ship 30 different crops
Achieving “Variety Farmer” requires Town Rank E or higher, as Town Rank F only provides access to around 17 seed types. To increase your Town Rank, focus on activities like clearing the ocean, donating items to the museum, and completing offerings at the Lake Temple altars. Once you reach Town Rank E, purchase at least one of every available seed at the beginning of each season. This ensures you’re growing and shipping a wide variety of crops, unlocking the achievement in a timely manner.
Specialty Rancher
Achievement: Ship one animal product 1000 times
While you could optimize this achievement by dedicating multiple coops or barns to a single animal type, playing the game naturally will also lead to its eventual unlock. Consistent animal care and product shipping, as part of your regular gameplay loop, will contribute to reaching the 1000 shipments milestone over time.
Grade A Only
Achievement: Ship a golden animal product
Golden animal products are obtained from animals that have won an Animal Festival event, reached maximum hearts (5), and are well-fed. The Animal Festival occurs on Summer 12th, so aim to have at least a chicken or cow ready to compete in your first year. Winning the festival and ensuring your animal’s happiness and well-being are key to producing and shipping golden animal products.
Operation Trophy Rancher
Achievement: Ship all animal products
Currently, there are 24 animal products to ship to unlock this achievement. Reaching Town Rank B is necessary, along with constructing multiple coops and barns to house a variety of animals. Winning both the Cow and Chicken competitions at the Animal Festival is crucial for obtaining golden animal products, which are required for this achievement. If you have all animals but are still missing the achievement, try slightly neglecting your Animal Festival winners’ feeding for a few days, then feed them again. This might encourage them to produce small versions of their products, which could be the missing items. The complete list of animal products includes various eggs, milk, wool, truffles, and coffee beans, encompassing both regular and large sizes, as well as golden variants.
You Name It We Sell It
Achievement: Ship all crops
“You Name It We Sell It” requires shipping all 48 seed crops available in the game, excluding tree fruits. Town Rank C is the minimum requirement to access all seeds from Sam’s General Store. Due to the extensive list of crops, it’s recommended to consult the Coral Island Wiki for a detailed checklist if you’re unsure which crops you might be missing. Alternatively, you can check your in-game Crops collection, although you’ll likely unlock this achievement before completing the collection list.
Legendary Farmer
Achievement: Ship everything in the game
This is the ultimate shipping achievement in Coral Island, requiring you to ship a vast array of items across different categories: Fish, Ocean Critters, Insects, Crops, Artifacts, Gems, Fossils, Beach and Ocean Foraged Items, and Seasonal Foraged Items. Keeping track of everything can be challenging, especially considering quality variations. Utilize community-created spreadsheets, like the one linked in the original guide, to meticulously track your progress and identify any missing items. Some players have reported needing to ship Small and Large Ostrich Eggs and Buffalo Milk, even after seemingly shipping everything else, highlighting the potential for hidden requirements or bugs.
This is Coral Island
Achievement: Reach level 10 mastery in everything
Achieving level 10 mastery in all skills is a significant time investment. Focus on diversifying your activities and leveling up skills you don’t naturally gravitate towards. Winter is an ideal season to concentrate on Mining, Diving, and Fishing, as farming and foraging activities are slower. Be mindful when choosing skills, as you cannot respecialize (though the final skill point can be purchased with town points). Combat skill is notably slower to level, but a recommended method involves repeatedly farming Advanced Slimes in level 15 of the Fire Mines. By kiting an Advanced Slime and eliminating its offspring, you can efficiently gain combat experience until the end of the day.
