Frontierville: A ride to hell with the new Farmville

Almost everybody in the world has been enjoying Zynga games. One of them is Farmville. With a new spinoff, Frontierville is a new early-American-homestead-building-themed game which is both addictive and filled with plentiful of frustrations.

The game is mission-based and will give you rewards for doing almost anything in you do. Your place is called a homestead. You will need to build a cabin, barn, chicken coops and everything in between a rancher needs. It is mainly based on raising animals, planting crops and fruit trees for money and experience; both of them need time to get results. You can then make the best looking farm you can ever dream of. But everything has its limitations and by that, frustrations have been part of the game since I joined the game.

But let’s put the frustrations aside first. From here, you’ll have resources like horseshoes (similar to FV farm cash. Only obtainable by levelup or real cash purchase), wood, food, energy and coins; the most important of them all is energy as almost everything you do in Frontierville will consume 1 energy. Since, you have limited energy; the game rewards you with 1 energy only after every 5 minutes.

The graphics are a tad better than Farmville but very similar. Since it’s a new game, the land expansions are far off and the game is mostly played with a more zoomed view compared to FV. The game has more animation which adds to the eye candy and a lot of slowdowns even for high-end computers. Most of the time, the game won’t load or perform very slow when game updates arrive.

As a social game, the game is very good but a nightmare at the same time. If you have tons of neighbors, be prepared to waste 30 minutes of your everyday life just by accepting gifts and giving gifts back. These items are essential to finishing missions, so you can’t just ignore some of them.

You can then have the option to visit your neighbors and have a sub-levelup system called reputation. Again, this is a very tedious task if you want to show your accomplishment. If you visit a neighbor and tend a max of 5 tends, you get 5 reputation; you only get to tend once a day per neighbor.

But this is a flash-based game. So if you put anything more on your homestead, it will likely perform very slowly and there are more gripes in this game than ever. As almost every housewives will be playing the game. Be prepared of having an addictive ride to hell.

Frontierville Primer

About the author: Its me senecaz back again with another guide to help you demolish this game into pieces. I have been a hardcore gamer since the 5th grade. I also write guides from games like Call of Duty 4, Modern Warfare 2, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and with the latest, the Flash-based game from Zynga; Frontierville.






The game has been around for quite a long time. This is another blog written for beginner to hardcore players. I won't post too much technical details which aren't important on the game. Suffice to say you have been playing this game. I would just post some rare and interesting things you could do to destroy the game, yes, destroy.


Since the time of writing this, I'm at lvl 71. I have been making blogs from other games too. Please feel free to share this if it had done you good.


Now to the guides...


The game has been glitchy even at this point. So so exploit it, there are a few things you can do upon logging on to your Facebook account. There are easy ways to open gift requests with just doing a simple middle mouse trick.


You can also powerlevel with just nothing with many neighbors. Abusing the newsfeed is really nice which in my experience, would give you 1,500 to 3,000 experience points a day.


There is also the trading boards in which can dramatically cut down your time to find those rare items on your collection.


There is also the Chicken coop trick this has been glitchy at most but can give you up to 40,000 experience points a day if you are very, very patient about the loading and sluggishness of its method.


You can also power plant items given you have a lot of neighbors or other accounts to sustain this method.


You can also spam and create multiple accounts to gift each other and gift it back to your main account, this works well in conjunction with the power planting and the building the chicken coop trick.


There is also the campfire trick which you can abuse which is a byproduct of having too much money from other methods. It can easily give you 80 exp instantly but having just 2 wood deducted from your stash.


Definitely, there are probably more and more of this methods if you just devote your time to making a high level stead.
