FrontierVille Tailor Shop Goals: Everything you need to know

While most of us are probably still working on getting our distant cousins hitched, Zynga introduced a stylish set of Goals to FrontierVille titled "Tailor Shop." This set of four goals is designed to get you on the path to building your very own Tailor Shop. More specifically, your task is to rescue your cousin Charlie from a sweatshop buy gathering enough money to pay his way out of there. Oh, and you have to build him a Tailor Shop so he can use his skills in the new world. No pressure, right? The missions are pretty self explanatory, but a little bit of planning ahead can go a long way in saving you time.

Check after the break for a full guide on these new Goals.
Talior Shop!
Your first goal--titled simply and proudly "Tailor Shop!"--asks only that you buy lots of things. But already from the start we notice that you're going to need at least nine neighbors (and a lot of patience) for this Goal series as Cotton takes three days to ripen and requires that many neighbors for plating. Honestly, just wait until you harvest the Cotton before you buy the Lunch, which will take you most of the way to the cost and closer to 100 XP.

Scout the Territory
Second we have "Scout the Territory," a Goal that's also pretty straightforward, but calls for you to start the Tailor Shop, which costs 800 coins and 11 Wood. After the recent wave of insane goals, we think you can handle parting with some coins and asking friends for the measurements. Complete this Goal and enjoy 10 free Cloth.

Getting Started
The third Goal in this list is "Getting Started" and prepares for the amount of Cloth your about to use in the Tailor Shop, so here's to another three days. Other than that, all you can do in those three days is feed the sheep and make up for the losses to clear 1,000 coins.

Getting to Business
The fourth and final Goal, "Getting to Business," simply asks that you finish the shop, talk to a few friends about scoring some Dress Patterns, and finally buying your first suit or dress in the Tailor Shop. Finish these three somewhat simple tasks and score 10 Cloth and 100 coins. And there you have it, your very own Tailor Shop for a pretty lax set of Goals. Now, get back to work on bringing in that tax revenue.

The FrontierVille Christmas Items shopping spree begins today

FrontierVille Christmas Items
Be ready to whip out those virtual shopping carts as Zynga has finally released a long list of Christmas decorations in FrontierVille. Hinted at earlier this week, there are items available that go for both coins and Horseshoes. Here's a full list of what you'll find in the Market:

- Snow Fox: 2375 coins
- Pile o' Snowballs: 5130 coins
- Candy Cane Fence: 475 coins, 50 wood
- Luminaire: 1805 coins
- Lawn buck: 2565 coins, 50 wood
- Yellow Snow: 2280 coins, 20 wood
- Tangled Lights: 3230 coins
- Lighted Sign: 2280 coins, 20 wood
- Mistletoe: 40 Horseshoes
- Santa's Chair: 25 Horseshoes
- Lawn Rudolph: 6 Horseshoes
- Train Set: 23 Horseshoes
- Red Luminaire: 5 Horseshoes
- Green Luminaire: 5 Horseshoes
- Red Nutcracker: 18 Horseshoes
- Green Nutcracker: 18 Horseshoes
- Sack o' Gifts: 22 Horseshoes
- Lawn Deer: 40 Horseshoes
- Snow Jack: 40 Horseshoes

These items will be here well past the holidays and into next year (38 days, to be exact), so that should give you some time to recover after this year's shopping season. Well, we mean financially--if you end up drinking a tad too much eggnog, not much we can do for you there.

FrontierVille's Snowy Land: Cover your homestead in frosty flakes

Fortunately, Zynga is not referring to the bladed cereal of death that plagues children around the globe. What it does mean, however, is the opportunity to transform your homestead into a winter wonderland thanks to the Snowy Land option in the FrontierVille Market. This new item requires you to either invite 10 new friends or unlock it early with a fat 30 Horseshoes.

Snowy Land includes the option to "Skip" the friend requirement, but we imagine this will lock you out of adding friends to make this item available. If you're going the traditional route, FrontierVille Info recommends you add friends through the option in the Market to make sure they count toward unlocking the item. With the amount of Holiday-themed content that's been added over the past few days, it's only fitting that you do it up in wintry style.

FrontierVille 12 Days of Christmas Missions: Everything you need to know for Day 5

frontierville 12 days of christmas missions day 5
If you've been completing FrontierVille's 12 Days of Christmas Missions, you probably already know that today is Day 5. The Fifth Day requires a good deal of work to be done for your neighbors, so be careful not to do any unnecessary neighbor work. Unfortunately, unlike normal energy, your neighbor energy doesn't recharge. You won't get more energy to help your neighbors until tomorrow. So use it wisely if you want to complete FrontierVille 12 Days of Christmas Missions: Day Five.

Otherwise, FrontierVille Christmas Mission Day 5 is pretty straightforward. Here's what you have to do:

    Tend Five Neighbor Cows
    Tend Five Neighbor Oxen
    Collect Five Friends to Go Caroling!


Tending five cows and five oxen is as simple as it sounds. But like I said earlier, help your neighbors carefully. Especially if you don't have a lot of neighbors (like me), scout out which friends have cows and oxen first. It would be tragic to discover you tended five oxen for the only neighbor with cows. Make a mistake and completing FrontierVille Christmas Mission Day 5 will be an impossible feat.
frontierville christmas missions day 5
As for collecting five friends to go caroling, this should also be straightforward assuming you have five friends that play FrontierVille consistently. All you have to do is click the "Ask Friends" button (pictured at the top) and post the notice to your wall. After five friends help you out by clicking "I Want In" on your wall, FrontierVille 12 Days of Christmas Missions: Day 5 will be a thing of the past. Well done folks.

Note: FrontierVille has reported some issues on Facebook. If you're having trouble finishing FrontierVille Christmas Mission Day 5, just be patient and it will be working fine before long.

FrontierVille: Earn a free Ox from the FrontierVille fan page

It seems as though Zynga is feeling a bit desperate lately, at least when it comes to getting players to both Like, and routinely check up on the FrontierVille fan page on Facebook. Over the past few weeks, they have started giving away items at seemingly random intervals via the game's official page on Facebook, with tonight seeing another item being released.

We've seen food released in the past, but today's release is a free Ox. The motivation behind releasing it, says Zynga, is for users that need an Ox for one of our missions. However, what you do with your free Ox is entirely up to you - you can keep it in your inventory indefinitely, waiting for a mission that asks you to buy an Ox (as placing one from your inventory tends to count as "buying"), you can immediately sell it (for a very small profit, I assure you), or you can decide to help the animal grow, and then sell it once its an adult (perhaps once you're on a mission that asks you to).

No matter what you decide to do with the Ox, it is kind of nice to see Zynga offering free items to fans of the game, as a way of saying thanks, or even if it is just a ploy to get more players to like the fan page. Whatever the reason, we'll gladly accept free gifts (You hear that Zynga? More free items, please!).

It's likely that this free Ox (worth almost 1,000 coins in the game, if you purchased it from the store) will only be available for a limited time, so be sure to click on the free giveaway link (this link right here) as soon as possible to ensure that your free Ox makes his way safe and sound into your inventory.

FrontierVille Hank and Fanny Goals: Everything you need to know

In the ongoing saga of the love triangle between Hank, Fanny, and Bess in FrontierVille, we've now been given a choice of which two of these characters we'd like to see move into romantic relationship via the launch of the Kissing Tree in the game. After finishing the first three Kissing Tree Goals (link is to a guide to completing said goals), you'll be able to choose which couple you'd like to hit it off.

If you choose to have Hank and Fanny hit it off in the game, you'll be given a five-part mission series detailing their specific romance. The contents of this quests are subject to change at any time, so keep that in mind.

The first step in this goal series has you helping Hank build up the nerve to ask Fanny out to a nice dinner, which you'll apparently be making yourself.

Harvest 10 Tomatoes
Harvest 10 Wheat
Have or Get 2 Butters

Butters are part of the Cow collection, and if you already have them on your account, you won't need to earn two more. Tomatoes, meanwhile, grow in 15 minutes, while Wheat takes one full day to grow. Don't forget, though, all you need to do is have your friends come and water your crops and then accept their action to count as a harvest. Four friends later, and you could have this step done within a matter of minutes, rather than waiting a full day for your wheat to grow. The rewards for completing Part I are 100 XP and 25 Reputation Hearts (individual points, not full levels).
Part II of V will slow your progress a bit, as you'll have to ask for some items from your friends, allowing with growing more crops.

Have or Get 1 Old Book
Collect 10 Body-Building Magazines
Harvest 20 Pink Roses

Pink Roses are available to harvest after growing for 14 hours, while the Old Book is part of the General Store collection. Just as with the Butters before, if you already have an Old Book, you won't have to ask for another. Finally, the Body-Building Magazines can be earned by asking your friends to send them to you (at the time of this writing via your news feed). Finish this quest and you'll earn 50 XP and 200 coins.

Part III of V will slow your progress even further, as you won't be able to finish it for at least 24 hours, unless you want to pay Horseshoes.

Collect 2 School Bonuses
Visit 10 Neighbors
Talk to Fanny

Fanny can be spoken to at any time by clicking on her avatar standing outside the School. Meanwhile, the daily bonus from the School can only be collected once per day. This quest is quite simple, and so are the rewards - 50 XP and 1 Bed of Flowers (a decorative item available to purchase in the store for 14,500 coins)

Part IV of V will require you to chop down quite a few trees, but not because that itself is a stipulation of the goal.

Clobber 5 Bears
Harvest 30 White Roses
Collect 10 Silver Needles

Like I said, you'll need to chop down plenty of trees to be able to bring out 5 Bears, but hopefully, you still have some trees left over from your recent 35 x 35 land expansion that you can chop down to lure them out. Meanwhile, you'll need to ask your friends for Silver Needles, and then wait 10 hours to harvest your 30 White Roses, if you don't believe in the "friends watering" exploit that I spoke of at the top of this post. Your final rewards before the finale of this mission are 100 coins and 2 Dinner energy items.

Finally, Part V of V will see the culmination of this particular romance on your farm, with a big party to celebrate Hank and Fanny's new-found romance. The three tasks required though, are rather odd.

Sell 10 Adult Geese
Harvest 20 Potatoes
Pick 10 Wildflowers

Geese can be purchased from the store for 330 coins each, and will grow to an adult goose after being fed a total of 11 times. Potatoes, meanwhile, can be planted and harvested after just 4 hours. Your rewards for finishing this love-story on your homestead are 200 XP and 1 Flowery Can, a decorative item that normally costs 10,000 coins when purchased from the store.

And there you have it! A sweeping love-story that apparently ends on a happy ending... for now. How will your choice alter the gameplay and story of your own game into the future? Only time will tell at this point, but we'll be sure to let you know how this changes the big picture when we know more.

Check out the rest of our Valentine's Day 2011 coverage right here.

Is this the love-story that you chose in FrontierVille? Is your choice affected by the complexity of the missions, or will you follow your own heart with your choice?

FrontierVille Hank and Bess Goals: Everything you need to know

In the ongoing saga of the love triangle between Hank, Fanny, and Bess in FrontierVille, we've now been given a choice of which two of these characters we'd like to see move into romantic relationship via the launch of the Kissing Tree in the game. After finishing the first three Kissing Tree Goals (link is to a guide to completing said goals), you'll be able to choose which couple you'd like to hit it off.
If you choose to have Hank and Bess hit it off in the game, you'll be given a five-part mission series detailing their specific romance. The contents of this quests are subject to change at any time, so keep that in mind.

The first step in Hank and Bess's romance will see you learning more about what Bess likes, in order for Hank to become a smarter gentleman in the process.

Clear 5 Wildflowers
Get 1 Bird House
Feed 10 Cows

These steps are relatively simple, so long as you have enough room on your land for the Wildflowers to actually spawn. A Bird House can be purchased from the store for 1500 coins and 10 Wood. Your rewards for starting on your path to romance are 100 XP and 25 Reputation Hearts (individual points, not full Reputation levels).
Part II of V will see you helping Bess cook a nice dinner for Hank, as he is tired of living the Bachelor's life, with no down-home cooking on his plate.

Harvest 20 Potatoes
Have or Get 2 Butters
Turn in the Pig Collection

Potatoes are available to harvest after just four hours, while Butters are part of the Cow Collection. As tends to be the case with such requirements, if you already have the Butters on your account before starting this mission, you won't need to earn anymore - this step will be completed for you automatically. Meanwhile, you'll be able to tend pigs on your own, or on your friends' Homesteads to randomly earn the items necessary to turn in the Pig Collection. Completing these three steps rewards you with 150 Food and 50 Reputation points.

Part III of V will finally see the inclusion of a collection feature to this mission set, so I hope you have a few friends on hand that can help you out.

Harvest 20 Sunflowers
Visit 20 Neighbors
Collect 10 Love Ballads

Love Ballads are a new item in the game that can be collected by posting a general news item to your feed, while Sunflowers can be planted from the store and harvested after 18 hours. Remember, you can also take advantage of the friends' watering exploit, by having four of your friends come to your Homestead and water your Sunflowers. When accepting this action back in your own game, the quest will act as though you have harvested those Sunflowers, saving you time. Finishing this mission rewards you with 150 Food and one Bed of Flowers, a decorative item that is normally available to purchase in the store for 14,500 coins.

Part IV of V asks you to craft a few items, but this can be easily skipped if you have a few Care Packages on hand.

Harvest 30 White Roses
Craft 10 Presents
Collect 2 Daily Bonuses at the Chapel

As we said, you can either open Care Packages and receive free Presents, or you can craft Presents inside the General Store. Each Present costs 2 Ribbon and 5 Cloth to produce. Meanwhile, White Roses are available to purchase from the store, and are ready to harvest after 10 hours. Finishing this quest rewards you with 200 XP and 100 coins.

Finally Part V of V sees you wrapping up this romance on your Homestead by helping Hank and Bess collect a sum of coins and supplies that they can use to hopefully own their own Homestead sometime in the future.

Collect 10,000 coins
Harvest 30 Red Roses
Collect 10 Sets of Silverware

As you might expect, the 10,000 coins will be taken from you at the completion of this mission. However, you'll earn plenty of coins in profit from harvesting your Red Roses, which take 1 day and 12 hours to grow. Finally, collecting Sets of Silverware is accomplished by simply posting a news feed to your wall asking your friends to help you. For finishing this love-story on your homestead, you'll receive 200 XP, 1 of the candy items available to purchase in the store (the giant candy hearts), and 50 Reputation Hearts.

And there you have it! A fairly simple set of missions that, while time-consuming, might be the right choice for someone who is looking to complete their section of the love-triangle as easily as possible.

Check out the rest of our Valentine's Day 2011 coverage right here.

Is this the choice you'll make in your own FrontierVille game, or do you think that Hank should end up with Fanny instead?

FrontierVille Bess and Fanny Goals: Everything you need to know

In the ongoing saga of the love triangle between Hank, Fanny, and Bess in FrontierVille, we've now been given a choice of which two of these characters we'd like to see move into romantic relationship via the launch of the Kissing Tree in the game. After finishing the first three Kissing Tree Goals (link is to a guide to completing said goals), you'll be able to choose which couple you'd like to hit it off.
If you choose to have Bess and Fanny hit it off in the game, you'll be given a five-part mission series detailing their specific romance. The contents of this quests are subject to change at any time, so keep that in mind.

Part I of V sees you kicking off this romance on your homestead by seeing what exactly Bess and Fanny have in common. You know they say opposites attract...

Harvest 10 White Roses
Clear 5 Wildflowers
Have or Get 2 Cherry Candies

The Cherry Candies are part of the Cherry Collection, but as usual, if you already have two of these in your inventory, you won't need to gather anymore - this step will be completed for you. Meanwhile, White Roses can be purchased from the store and harvested after 10 hours. Your rewards for launching this romance on your Homestead are 100 XP and 25 Reputation Hearts (those being individual points, not full Reputation levels).
Part II of V continues this romance by seeing Fanny taking a real interest in Bess, who doesn't think she has time for romance. You'll need to help convince her that she does.

Harvest 20 Pink Roses
Turn in the Cow Collection
Have 10 Love Letters

The Love Letters are a new item that can be collected by posting a general news item to your feed asking your friends to help. While you're waiting, you can plant your Pink Roses, which take 14 hours to grow, or you can spend your time harvesting either your own or your neighbors' cows in an effort to collect the items necessary to turn in the Cow Collection (if you don't have them all on-hand to start). The rewards for completing Part II are 50 XP and 200 coins.

Part III of V marks the halfway point of this storyline, and it sees you helping your friends with their animals, along with turning in another collection.

Collect 2 Barn Bonuses
Tend 20 Neighbor Oxen
Turn in the Oxen Collection

Hopefully, through the process of tending to all of those Oxen on your neighbors' homesteads, you'll be able to earn the item necessary to turn in the Oxen Collection. Remember, though, you can also tend your own Oxen to earn items as well. Meanwhile, the Barn Bonus can be collected once per day. Finishing this relatively simple mission will reward you with 50 XP and one Bed of Flowers, a decorative item that can otherwise be purchased from the store for 14,500 coins.

Moving onto Part IV of V sees you collecting 10 more items with the help of friends, along with turning in yet another collection.

Harvest 30 Red Roses
Turn in the Apple Collection
Collect 10 Charm Bracelets

You'll be able to collect the Charm Bracelets by posting a general news item to your wall asking your friends to help, while you can harvest both your own or your friends' Apple Trees in order to earn the items necessary to complete the Apple Collection. Finally, Red Roses can be purchased from the store and harvested after growing for 1 day and 12 hours. Your final reward before the finale of this romance is 300 XP.

Finally, Part V of V sees you concluding this love-story on your homestead by helping Fanny convince Bess to sing in the Sunday Choir at the Chapel.

Craft 3 Comforters in the Chicken Coop
Collect 10,000 coins
Craft 2 Choir Outfits in the Chapel

While this mission may look challenging, remember to use any Care Packages you might have saved to see if you can be given these five crafted items for free. If not, you can craft a Comforter using 15 Cloth and Downy Feathers, with Downy Feathers themselves being the reward for turning in the Goose Collection. Choir Outfits, meanwhile, can be crafted in the Chapel using 2 Pamphlets and 2 Fancy Clothing. Pamphlets themselves are created in the Chapel using one Ink Well and 1,000 coins each, while a single Fancy Clothing is made in the General Story for 2 Ribbon and 2 Clothes. It's a complicated process - finally getting to both of these end products - but it shouldn't prove too difficult if you have some ribbon, cloth, and coins on hand. Your final rewards for helping these two find love are 300 XP and a Dozen Roses, a decorative item that can otherwise be purchased from the store for 4,000 coins.

And there you have it! A complete guide to bringing love to your frontier. We'll be sure to let you know how your choices in this Kissing Tree event alter the rest of the game as soon as Zynga reveals more, so keep checking back.

Rumor: Zynga randomizes FrontierVille item Horseshoe prices

According to several reports from both FrontierVille Info and the FrontierVille forums, Zynga is randomizing the price of Horseshoe items, namely the new Fanny and Bess Mystery Crates. A forum contributor named Jmrissaved claims, "I noticed that the mystery crates are 40 [Horseshoes] for me but 34 [Horseshoes] for my mom. When [I] asked about this I was told that's how Zynga is now pricing things."

FrontierVille Info has received similar reports from its readers like Jamie who said, "It has come to my attention from a Zynga chat employee that Zynga is now randomizing prices of items and diff people are having to pay diff prices for same items for no reason at all! This is illegal for most services and should be here too!"

If you haven't gathered already, players are less than excited about the situation. Not to mention that if both of these players truly spoke with Zynga customer support and got that response, this change could be intentional. That said, this is the first time I've ever heard of a company randomizing prices for goods. Even in the digital world prices are normally standardized. Prices will vary from game to game and even between items, but not from player to player at random. So, the pricing issue could easily be a glitch. Regardless, we've contacted Zynga for comment, so stay tuned.

Have you seen different prices for FrontierVille items than your friends? What do you imagine Zynga is up to?

FrontierVille 37 x 37 Expansion: Get an early start for 185 Horseshoes

Taking a page from the FarmVille team, the folks behind FrontierVille's updates have decided to release the next land expansion - the Enormous or 37x37 land expansion - in the game, but only for premium currency. That's right - if you'd like a head-start on expanding your land to its current maximum, you'll have to pay Horseshoes to do it. It should be noted that a few pioneers have been given this opportunity in the past, but it appears that only now has the option been released on a widespread scale.
You can trigger the purchase of the 37x37 land expansion missions by clicking on the new border that has appeared around your Homestead. This will show you a pop-up like the one above, where you can spend the massive sum of 185 Horseshoes to start expanding your land early. We've been told that the expansion missions will be coming in full "soon," presumably for coins, but if you'd like expand now, rather than waiting, here's your chance.

For the record, 185 Horseshoes is the equivalent of around $23 US, with the current Horseshoe to dollar exchange rate. Whether or not that price is worth it, or not, will of course be up to you. If you know you'll purchase these missions early, and want a look at what to expect from them, check out our guide.

Will you unlock the 37 x 37 land expansion for Horseshoes, or will you wait until a coin option is available?

Future Zynga Facebook, mobile games could be more sequels

At least Zynga chief creative officer Brian Reynolds is thinking about it. The design head of the company recently spoke with IndustryGamers and, when whether FarmVille English Countryside has sparked a trend within the company, Reynolds replied, "Well, it's so early in our industry, is it time to have sequels? I don't know. It sounds like something we might do." In fact, Reynolds appears to be a big fan of the sequel--just look at his previous work.

"It's never too late to do a sequel, by the way," Reynolds said to IndustryGamers. "It's not like we need to be quickly running for the sequels because you can do sequels even 10 years after the original game. The first Civilization sequel came out 5 years after the first one and the next one was 5 years after that. And we've only even been a company for 3 years."

And he has a point. Civilization still sells like hotcakes and it's been reiterated upon five times now. Not to mention the mobile releases and other rehashes over the years. Could Zynga employ the same strategy to remain relevant? While the company has already shown that it can successfully launch new properties (ahem, CityVille), the groundwork has already been laid out.

FrontierVille is surrounded on all sides by promised expansions with one recently receiving a mysterious update in its description. Mafia Wars constantly releases new content, and you could consider its new-and-improved mobile app an expansion. So, would it be in Zynga's benefit to succumb to "sequelitis?"

We've yet to see FarmVille's daily active player base stabilize as a result of the new expansion, nor has its monthly players grew dramatically. Granted, it's only been around for a week, but remember CityVille's meteoric climb? If anything is to decide whether more sequels are in the future for Zynga games, it is the numbers.

Would you still be interested in Zynga games if the next few releases were sequels? What is the likelihood that this is the direction the company will head in?

FrontierVille Pet Shop Collection offers Chunky Chow as a reward

Along with the release of the Pet Shop today in FrontierVille, Zynga has also added a new collection to complete. As usual, this collection is named appropriately as the Pet Shop Collection, and you'll be able to earn the five items necessary to complete it by either whacking the frame of the Pet Shop while building it, or by collecting the Daily Bonus from a completed Pet Shop afterwards. Here are the five items to look out for:

Fish Food
Hamster Wheel
Bird Food
Catnip
Lizards

Finishing this collection rewards you with a Chunky Chow, the food item that you had to collect back when helping the Old Dog who appeared on our Homesteads a few weeks ago. It's presumable we'll need tons of Chunky Chow in the future, as this item is also awarded via the Pet Shop Goals, so make sure you hold onto this prize in case you need it in the coming days and weeks.

Have you already completed this collection, or are you still trying to build the frame of your Pet Shop?

FrontierVille's Return of Lt. Flintlock event is on!

Earlier this week, we brought you a detailed look at the six goals we expected would launch with the return of Lt. Flintlock in FrontierVille. Well, that prediction was right on target, as the event has officially launched in the game this evening, with a few rules.

You see, while the six goals we brought you in our guide are final, they won't all be available to you all at once. This is yet another event that allows you to complete only a single goal each day, as they are unlocked over a six day period. Lt. Flintlock has appeared on the outskirts of your land, complete with a new stagecoach. Each day, a new goal will be unlocked within the stagecoach, so you'll need to click on it and start each manually.

These missions are timed, as you'll need to help Lt. Flintlock prepare for his secret mission before August 30, when the event ends. Once you reach the halfway point of these goals, you'll receive a special Black Buffalo as a prize, and when you finish the sixth and final goal, you'll receive a special Carved Tree (presumably, carved with Bess and Lt. Flintlock's initials).

Unfortunately, the return of Lt. Flintlock doesn't exactly end in a happy, romantic getaway for Bess and the Lt., as he's off to the wild frontier on a mission of incredible danger (and equal importance). If you're as big of a fan of the romantic saga of these two as I am, then this is actually a bit worrying, as the Lt. leaves the Homestead by giving Bess a letter to read should he not return after six weeks. How tragic (and yet romantic)! Let's just hope everything goes well for the Lt., and that we'll eventually get to see these two live happily ever after. They deserve that much, right? Perhaps we'll even get to meet Lt. Flintlock on the Pioneer Trail and ensure that he gets back to her safely. We'll make sure to let you know if that happens to be the case.

What do you think of the Return of Lt. Flintlock event? Would you rather be allowed to start all six goals at once, or do you like the slower pacing of events such as these?

Pioneer Trail Ice Shed: Everything you need to know

Just days ago, we saw the launch of the Potting Shed in Pioneer Trail, and now we've seen another "shed" added to the game. This one, the Ice Shed, will allow you to "keep your milk cold," while receiving Critter Milk for free everyday. You'll unlock two new animals via the construction of this building, and will also have a couple of goals to complete along the way. Here's a complete guide to the Ice Shed, so get our your hammers and get ready to build! Note: This feature may not be available to all players as of this writing.

Once this update rolls around to you, you can either place the base right away, or you can purchase it from the store at a later time if you choose to finish some other tasks first. Once you place it, you'll need to gather plenty of building ingredients: 10 each of Rivets, Sheet Metal and Warm Gloves, along with 15 each of Ice Boxes, Saw Dust piles and Insulation. These final three items are earned through individual gift requests sent to friends, while the former trio are earned through general news feed posts.

Once built, your Ice Shed will give you access to free Critter Milk everyday when collecting the building's Daily Bonus, and you'll also receive a free Dairy Cow (that goes by the name of Daisy) once you finish the building's two goals:

Milk Cooler

• Place Ice Shed
• Tend 25 Adult Cows
• Collect 15 Blocks of Ice

You'll need to ask your friends for the Blocks of Ice, as you might expect. For finishing this first of two goals, you'll receive 500 XP, 1,000 coins and a single bottle of Critter Milk.

Stockpiling

• Tend 15 Neighbor Goats
• Tend 15 Pigmy Goats
• Collect 15 Glass Milk Bottles

Again, you'll finish this collection task by asking your friends to help you, while you'll need to visit at least three neighbors for all of those regular Goats. As for the Pygmy Goat, it becomes available to purchase in the store once you've completed your Ice Shed. If your friends beat you to it, it looks like you can tend their Pygmy Goats instead. Finish this goal and you'll receive 800 XP and the Daisy Dairy Cow that I told you about earlier.

All told, this is a fairly simple and straightforward building project and goal series (albeit probably a bit time consuming), so just make sure to take a few seconds out of your day to ask for these building pieces and you'll eventually finish both off.

What do you think of the Ice Shed in Pioneer Trail? What other sorts of items would you like to receive free from buildings, if not Critter Milk? Sound off in the comments.


Just days ago, we saw the launch of the Potting Shed in Pioneer Trail, and now we've seen another "shed" added to the game. This one, the Ice Shed, will allow you to "keep your milk cold," while receiving Critter Milk for free everyday. You'll unlock two new animals via the construction of this building, and will also have a couple of goals to complete along the way. Here's a complete guide to the Ice Shed, so get our your hammers and get ready to build! Note: This feature may not be available to all players as of this writing.

Once this update rolls around to you, you can either place the base right away, or you can purchase it from the store at a later time if you choose to finish some other tasks first. Once you place it, you'll need to gather plenty of building ingredients: 10 each of Rivets, Sheet Metal and Warm Gloves, along with 15 each of Ice Boxes, Saw Dust piles and Insulation. These final three items are earned through individual gift requests sent to friends, while the former trio are earned through general news feed posts.

Once built, your Ice Shed will give you access to free Critter Milk everyday when collecting the building's Daily Bonus, and you'll also receive a free Dairy Cow (that goes by the name of Daisy) once you finish the building's two goals:

Milk Cooler

• Place Ice Shed
• Tend 25 Adult Cows
• Collect 15 Blocks of Ice

You'll need to ask your friends for the Blocks of Ice, as you might expect. For finishing this first of two goals, you'll receive 500 XP, 1,000 coins and a single bottle of Critter Milk.

Stockpiling

• Tend 15 Neighbor Goats
• Tend 15 Pigmy Goats
• Collect 15 Glass Milk Bottles

Again, you'll finish this collection task by asking your friends to help you, while you'll need to visit at least three neighbors for all of those regular Goats. As for the Pygmy Goat, it becomes available to purchase in the store once you've completed your Ice Shed. If your friends beat you to it, it looks like you can tend their Pygmy Goats instead. Finish this goal and you'll receive 800 XP and the Daisy Dairy Cow that I told you about earlier.

All told, this is a fairly simple and straightforward building project and goal series (albeit probably a bit time consuming), so just make sure to take a few seconds out of your day to ask for these building pieces and you'll eventually finish both off.
