FrontierVille Sneak Peek: The Oregon Trail Timed Goal, 'Oregon, Ho!'

FrontierVille's Orgeon Trail
You read that right, fellow pioneers. Zynga could be going all English Countryside on FrontierVille as early as May with the Oregon Trail expansion around the corner. FrontierVille Info found exactly how it will be introduced: a leaked Timed Goal known as "Oregon, Ho! (Or On the Trail)." You might have noticed how often the fan site has made predictions concerning the The Oregon Trail, and they've finally paid off. Check behind the break for details on how this mission might pan out.
Oregon Trail Ho Timed Goal
FrontierVille Info has found a few details on the new Timed Goal, but nothing has been confirmed by Zynga and its subject to change. The new Timed Goal will have players completing these three tasks:

    Collect Nine Pages from the Medical Journal
    Watch FronterVille's Oregon Trail Video
    Collect Ten Snake Bite Kits


You can imagine that the pages from the Medical Journal and the 10 Snake Bites will be friend gifts or part of a larger mission, but what's most important is the second requirement. Soon, it appears that Zynga will release a trailer for the expansion, so you can imagine this is serious stuff. If this was just another content update, there would be no reason for the developer to release a trailer and force you to watch it--this expansion is going to be big.

While I would like to see something new, I can't help but expect this to be identical to FarmVille's English Countryside, but out West. FrontierVille Info reports that the Timed Goal will expire May 31, which points to the first or second week of May for this mission to release. Keep your fingers crossed that we're right.

Do you think that this information is enough to expect that the Oregon Trail is coming soon? What do you think the new expansion will be like?

FrontierVille Sneak Peek: Oregon Trail items blow in from the West

    Oregon Grape Flower     Haning Pelts
That's it, the floodgates have opened. Details of FrontierVille's first ever expansion, The Oregon Trail, are likely all over the Internet. FrontierVille Info gives us the latest in 13 leaked images of items we might find while on the Oregon Trail including all nine pages from the Medical Journal for the Oregon, Ho! Timed Goal. Check after the break for a look at the rest of this extremely exciting--ahem, cautiously excited, of course--early content.
FrontierVille Medical Journal 1     FrontierVille Medical Journal 2     FrontierVille Medical Journal 3     FrontierVille Medical Journal 4     FrontierVille Medical Journal 5
Here are all the items that may or may not be part of an Oregon Trail expansion:

    Medical Kit
    Oregon Grape Flower
    Medical Journal Page
    Oregon Trail Cooties
    Oregon Trail Measles
    Oregon Trail Picklefinger
    Oregon Trail Scoots
    Oregon Trail Skunkticks


FrontierVille Medical Journal 6     FrontierVille Medical Journal 7     FrontierVille Medical Journal 8     FrontierVille Medical Journal 9     FrontierVille Medical Journal 10
You can likely already tell that most of those items will almost certainly be the nine Medical Journal Pages needed for one of the Goal's requirements. As for the other items, we haven't an idea in the slightest other than they appear to be decorations. Though, the black briefcase sure does look like a Snake Bite Kit. It shouldn't be long before more information and images appear, so sit tight--and stop staring at the Oregon Trail in-game banner ... it's weird.

Are you excited to see more information released about the imminent Oregon Trail expansion? When do you think the Timed Goal will finally drop?

FarmVille Livestock Pen Goals: Everything you need to know

To go along with tonight's launch of the Livestock Pen in FarmVille comes a set of goals (what, you didn't they we'd get away without them, did you?). These goals are of course sheep, goat and llama themed to go along with our new animal breeding building, so read on for how to complete these goals as quickly as possible (and of course receive your rewards).

Farmin' Ain't Easy

    * Get 8 Farmer's Overalls
    * Place 1 Livestock Pen
    * Place 4 Whitewash Fences


Whitewash Fences cost just 300 coins per square, so spend the 1,200 coins on four and then delete them as soon as you're done with this goal. As for the Farmer's Overalls, you'll need to ask your friends to send them to you. Finish this first goal and you'll receive 50 XP, 2,500 coins and a Grey Mouflon Goat.

These Boots Were Made for Farmin'

    * Get 8 Pairs of Farmer's Boots
    * Buy 3 Barrels
    * Harvest 5 Sheep


Barrels cost 125 coins each, so at least this is another cheap expensive just to finish the goal. Gathering the Farmer's Boots is another task for asking your friends to help. Finishing this goal gives you another 50 XP, 2,500 coins and one White Llama.

Perqs for the Talent

    * Get 8 Wool Blankets
    * Complete the Livestock Pen
    * Harvest 50 Vegetables


Luckily, it doesn't matter which of the vegetable crops you grow, so just pick something you have yet to master, or the shortest growth-time vegetable to finish this one off. As for the Wool Blankets - you guessed it - ask your friends to send them to you. As for completing the Livestock Pen, you can check out our guide to doing so right here. Finish off this goal to earn 50 XP, 2,500 coins and five Animal Feed.

Hay-Ho the Dairy-O!

    * Get 8 Piles of Hay
    * Harvest the Livestock Pen
    * Harvest 75 Flowers


Again, it doesn't look like it matters which kind of flower you harvest, so just pick the lowest harvest-time building and you'll be able to move on. Ask your friends for the Piles of Hay and eventually you'll finish this one off, being rewarded with 50 XP, 2,500 coins and Flower Sheep for your efforts.

Keeping Up With Baby

    * Get 8 Livestock Tags
    * Raise a Livestock Baby
    * Harvest 90 Fruit


Remember, common Livestock Babies take 10 Animal Feed to grow, while rare babies take 30. Once you finish this goal, you'll earn another 50 XP, 2,500 coins and five Animal Feed.

Get Oat!

    * Get 9 Oat Sacks
    * Master White Llama to Level 1
    * Harvest 100 Vegetable Crops


Again, plant whatever vegetable you like just to be done with this one as quickly as possible. As for the Oat Sacks, you might be lucky enough to have some extras on hand from the first set of Lighthouse Cove goals, but if not, just ask your friends to send you the Sacks that you do need. Finishing off this last goal in the series gives you 50 XP, 2,500 coins and a Black Laxta Sheep.

Luckily, we're given a full two weeks to work on these goals, so if you have others that you need to clear off your plate first, feel free to do so without worrying about these expiring as well.
