Over the weekend, we discovered a set of Unicorn Island animals and building materials that had mysteriously appeared in the FarmVille marketplace, and tonight they've actually been given a purpose. That's right, Unicorn Island is now available to build on your farm(s)! While the Unicorn Island might appear pretty daunting, it can ultimately be thought of as a general animal storage habitat, similar to the Dino Lab. That is, you'll need to collect building materials to construct the Unicorn Island, which can then be used to store unicorns in your game.The first stage of Unicorn Island requires 30 building materials 10 Enchanted Blossoms, 10 Rainbow Clovers and 10 Hearts of Gold. These items are earned by asking your friends to send them to you, or by purchasing them with Farm Cash. You can also claim these items for free on the wall posts shared by your friends as they also work on completing their very own Unicorn Islands.
When you've completed the construction of your Unicorn Island, you'll be able to store 20 unicorns inside it. You'll be able to harvest Unicorn Island once per day to earn mastery points and coins relating to the animals stored inside, but the main draw is the ability to collect gems. Similar to the DNA of the Dino Lab feature, these gems can be combined to receive new types of unicorns in your game! Different kinds of unicorns produce different colors of gems, so it's worth keeping all of the unicorns you might create, even if they're duplicates.
There are multiple unicorns and gem combinations available within Unicorn Island, and here's a complete look at the different formulas, straight from Zynga.
