How to Get Soap in FrontierVille

Soap is a new item in FrontierVille and it is needed to complete the fourth Back to School Mission, Time for the Annual Pre-School Bath. In this article I will share with you all the details on the FrontierVille Soap, as well as tips on how to get more in an instant!
Being a quest-only item, you only need 10 FrontierVille Soap pieces and not more. There is just one way to get the soap without paying for it: ask your friends. In order to do so, simply click the green Ask Friends button and select the ones you want to send a message to, asking them to send you some soap. Make sure you choose the most active and friendly ones as you won’t have too many chances to ask for the soap before the goal expires!
Alternately, you can unlock this requirement from the goal’s menu by paying 15 HorseShoes (the price remains the same even if you have 0 or 9 Soap pieces).
Once you have the 10 Soap for the mission, you can complete it and completely forget that you had to go through such a pain for getting it!

How to level up fast on Frontierville on Facebook

To level up quickly, there are some tasks that work better than others. Clearing grass and farming are all things you should do - and will need to do - but there are some little tricks and tips to get moving up the ladder quicker. Follow some helpful hints and you can get way ahead of your friends in a hurry. It is important to follow the correct order so that you burn off as few of your resources as possible and get the best return on those which you do use.
Start out by taking care of clearing some grass. It is an easy task but will grab a few quick experience points. Next move on to your garden, Clear a couple ripe plots - but don’t re-plant them just yet. You need Food and energy - along with a few easy experience points built up -  to go snake clobbering. Snake clobbering is going to get you some serious goodies, the only problem is you need to clobber a snake 3 or 4 times to get the job done early on before it dies. To find snakes, clear skulls on your land - they hide in skulls. That means you need an energy refill which is why you need some food stockpiled. Don’t worry too much, once you kill the snake you will level up and get a full energy refill.

Once you get a full energy refill, go back and re-plant your crops. You will build up just enough experience points to level up again. Since you already harvested tomato’s to get ready for snake clobbering, go feed the baby chicks. Once you feed all three chicks you will finish a challenge (Feed 3 chicks and harvest three tomato plants) and have enough points to level up again along with some extra gold.

Nest you want to complete the “clear your land mission.” This is super simple, but they will make you re-accomplish a few things you did already. You have to clear one rock pile, 3 patches of grass, and chop down two trees. When you finish this, if you have done it right and chosen tress which only require 2 energy to chop down, you should be out of energy, but only about 5 experience points from leveling up. This is a good time to go to the bathroom or take care of things which require no energy while your energy meter replenishes. Why waste food when you are so close? Once you level up, complete the lost sheep mission, and then get into building your cabin.

Just continue rotating a mission with snake clobbering and before you know it you will pile up experience points and rewards so fast that levels are coming one on top of the other. The key is finding a quick balance between what the game tells you to do - which is designed to get you to feel like you need to buy energy refills - and what will let you build up levels fast so you don’t need to buy energy refills to keep playing.

Chopping wood will require more energy but give you greater rewards, and clearing grass and the such the least but they are an easy point or two to pick up. Just keep in mind that anytime you see a skull on your land it is a gift - just make sure you have plenty of energy before clearing it so you can actually clobber the snake to death. Keep just enough land for farming to have a steady food supply to refill energy, and above all else, like it or not, get your friends to become neighbors so you can grab the loads of free experience points being given away while Frontierville is in beta mode. They may not do that for long. Even without friends joining, in one day of average playing this plan can get you to level 13 without batting an eye - that is tested and true.

Tip for helping neighbors

Here’s a little tip from FrontierVille Post for those of you who want to help your neighbors out with the new goals.
Plant 5-10 of every type of crop so when they come visit there is always something for them that they need!
A bit more advanced:
What I’ve done is planted the fast crops that can be harder to find in red varmint areas. I intend to let them wither and just leave them there until I accept help from a neighbor, then plant some more if need be.
Crops for neighbors
A great idea for long term crops for varmint keepers:
I’ve also planted some long term crops in these areas as I wont have to deal with them for several days, then I can just move the crops or clobber the varmint to get them later.
If worse comes to worse and you can’t find the crops you need, try Jack’s homestead! He always has some ready and if you leave his place and come back, you can tend the same crop over and over. Just remember you only get 5 per day.
This works for plants and animals too, as neighbors will need to tend those for other goals.

A Beginners Guide

I've created this guide to give you some ideas for how to progress quickly as well as some basics for how to operate FrontierVille. My tips are merely suggestions based on my experience and you are welcome to explore and play the game at your own pace. I hope you benefit from my posts and look forward to answering questions and bringing you more useful information here and on the Facebook page in the future! (All these blue links take you to more content just like this page, click them for more information on that subject).

• Do your quests in order and try not to click on other things while you're getting started. 
• Plant crops for lots of food for energy and coins for more crops. 
• Don't clear away your whole forest and grassy areas. You'll miss those areas later when you have varmint goals.
• Visit neighbors and water their crops for more food and bonuses, this also makes the crops grow faster so you can progress sooner! Longer crops give you better bonuses upon harvest.
• Collect the best bonuses from the feed. You get 30 per day, so make sure you're selective about what you need and take the best ones (ie. 50xp and 25 food or more for special quests).
• Help your neighbors by sending them gifts and clicking on their feed requests (you get 50 feed helps per day). If you help them, they're more likely to send you stuff on your wishlist!
• Plan ahead! Look at the goals that are coming up and maybe buy some animals or start asking for more building materials ahead of time.
• Keep up with the updates and tips. I'll post the most helpful posts on this page, but be sure to like our facebook page for smaller updates and ideas about the game as it evolves. You can ask to add people and get supplies in the discussion tab.
• You can also visit the official forum to see what people have asked and get help very quickly.

Frontierville Tricks and Tips

Like all games, there are ways to advance more quickly through Frontierville. Tips for faster success include:

• Get hired by neighbors to complete tasks and earn more Frontierville coins
• Hire people with higher experience levels. Players with a better reputation will earn more money for the landowner
• Earn bonuses by defending land against snakes
• Find snakes by looking under skulls, where they are likely to hide
• Complete the missions and goals that are promoted within the Frontierville game. They come with bonuses attached for each mission completed
• Hunting for snakes will help Frontierville players earn bonus items more quickly
• Every action will use energy except for when planting crops
• Get an energy boost by visiting neighbors
• Plant trees often to ensure a constant supply of fruit for food or wood for building

Unlike the previously released Zynga games like Farmville and Mafia Wars, success in Frontierville requires players to take part in a brad range of activities. Players must interact with one another to achieve results, unlock crops and actions, or move ahead.
Further, Frontierville players are encouraged to check-in on their land at least daily, so that their property is not taken over by wild animals and plants. However, all these new features have some believing that Frontierville is just one more way to annoy Facebook friends.

Wishlist

• A nice optional feature that you can use in the game is the "Wishlist" which can aid in completing difficult collections.
• When you are in the Collection menu area look along the top of the screen where it says, "Wishlist"
• As you scroll through all the collections in progress you will see items that you have are in the windows with the quantity listed at the bottom, and those you do not have are faded in the background.
• There is a tiny piece of paper with a green "+" symbol at the bottom of each faded image.
• If there is an item you really need for a collection click on this symbol and it will automatically be added to your wishlist along the top. (This is a toggle button so if you hit it by mistake just click again and it will move off of the list.)
• TIP - If you have several collections that only need 1 item to complete those are the items you should put in your Wishlist.
• TIP - Be sure to upgrade your Wishlist frequently.
