FrontierVille Ponderosa Lodge Goals: Everything you need to know

That old, warped cabin of yours is in desperate need of a makeover, no? Well, Zynga is going all Extreme Makeover: Home Edition on FrontierVille's default building with the new Ponderosa Lodge Goals. These missions either have yet to be released or are slowly rolling out to players, so details like specific rewards are scarce and this information is subject to change. With that disclaimer behind us, let's move into our southwestern lodge, shall we?
Ponderosa Lodge Goals


Ponderosa Lodge1. Wishes Come True

    Purchase the Ponderosa Lodge
    Tend 20 Oxen
    Craft 4 Sawhorses


It's unknown how much the Lodge will cost exactly in the Market, but we're guessing in the range of 10 thousand plus coins--don't quote us on that one. Tending 20 Oxen will take quite some time if you only own one or two, but considering they cost 990 coins a piece you might be better off exercising some patience. The four Sawhorses are crafted in the Barn and will require 20 Planks and 8 Tools. Complete this Goal for 200 XP and a collectible item.

2. Gussy Up the Place

    Harvest 15 White Roses
    Collect 15 Elegant Paintings
    Tend 12 Peach Trees


Elegant PaintingsHarvesting 15 White Roses will take 10 hours if all of them are planted at once, which shouldn't be difficult, for a total of 3 thousand coins. The 15 Elegant Paintings will likely be requested from the Goal's menu window for your friends to respond to. The 12 Peach Trees would take just three hours to ripen and harvest, but owning 12 Peach Trees would cost a hefty 12,720 coins to manage. Again, the waiting game continues. Finish this quest for an Oak Tree and 500 XP.

3. Packin' Up

    Visit 15 Neighbors
    Harvest 20 Cotton
    Send 5 Neighbor wishlist items


The first requirement to this Goal is something you all should be familiar with, but it can be done while you wait for your Cotton to grow. That second requirement will cost you 12 thousand coins and take at least three days, so hang tight. But don't forget to send your friends some Wish List items. You can do this by clicking on a player portrait on your friends bar and clicking on one of the items that pops up. For completing this Goal, 750 XP and one Rivet are yours.

Box of Kittens4. A Man's Home is His Castle

    Collect 10 Throne Plungers
    Have 500 wood
    Plant 20 Sunflowers


In this fourth and final Goal, the Throne Plungers will be requested from friends through the quest's menu window, while just having 500 Wood at the time shouldn't be difficult--go chop down some trees. Planting 20 Sunflowers will cost you 6,200 coins total and take at least 18 hours to harvest. Finally, this Goal will reward you with the Adobe Bricks needed to complete the Ponderosa Lodge, plus you'll get a Box of Kittens and 1,000 XP. As to why Zynga threw in a Box of Kittens as if they were a magazine subscription we have no idea, but at least they're are cute. Yay, I guess.

Building the FrontierVille Ponderosa Lodge: Everything you need to know

With the dreams of a big new house on the horizon in FrontierVille, it would help to know how to put this thing together. First of all, you need to start the new Ponderosa Lodge Goals that have yet to be released as of this writing. Luckily for you, we have all the details on how to throw together this new castle after the break.

After you take on the first Goal of the series, you will have to purchase the Ponderosa Lodge from the Market, which will cost just 950 coins and 20 Wood in the Buildings section. However, this new building cannot be finished until the Ponderosa Lodge Goals are complete, a first for FrontierVille.

Place the building anyway, just to get it out of the way. Then, give it seven good whacks at 1 Energy and 10 Wood per whack. Once that's through, the familiar building menu will appear with six item requirements:

    20 Elbow Grease
    10 Gas Lamp
    10 Insulation
    15 Rivets
    15 Banister
    15 Adobe Bricks


The first three items can be found by posting request on your Facebook wall through the building menu. The next two, the Rivets and Banisters, can be requested from friends directly. Finally, the Adobe Bricks are part of your reward for completing the final Ponderosa Lodge Goal. It's a strange approach to introducing content in Zynga games, which may turn some heads for gating new features through Goals. We'll see in, oh, about a few hours.
