Gamers Unite! - Farmville/CafeWorld/FrontierVille/CityVille Snag Bar, snag those various items from the news feed while playing your game of choice!

Updated post:

I posted this last year, and just wanted to give those new farmville/frontierville friends and neighbor's a heads up on how they can earn more coins.  Now with FarmVille's new English Country Side farm, you are going to need all the help you can.  I have noticed that other gamers try the different types of snag bars out their for FarmVille, and all those do is leave advertisement's to use their snag bar in the comment of each and every item the person had successfully snagged...annoying!

Since I last posted this, the snag bar has added some new options for what to snag.  The snag bar now works with, not just FarmVille, it also works with FrontierVille, CityVille and CafeWorld.

There are people that do get upset when you use the snagbar, they feel that you should play the game like everybody else, but now with the changes in the games over time, these snag bars are as helpful to your game neighbours as much as they are to you.   Take FrontierVille for example, when you need to finish one of your missions and it seems that nobody will ever click on your request in the FaceBook news feed, players using this bar will fufill your request without even having to be there.  The snag bar also now offers to automatically accept requests in your game request section, but does not send the gifts back.

How do I get my neighbors to harvest my crops when I want them to?

For three horseshoes you can buy signs, one says tend here and the other says hands off.   These signs are meant for just what they say, as you can see with mine.

There will be times when you are doing a task and need to harvest your own crop, than you use the hands off sign.  The tend sign here is perfect when you are growing cotton, which takes four days.  For every neighbor that fertilizes the cotton crop, 23 hours will be eliminated from the time it is ready to harvest, that is why you want the tend here sign.  Happy farming!

How do I get a neighbor unstuck from my farm

If a neighbor comes to your farm and gets stuck all you need to do is buy a dinner bell and/or a triangle bell.  When you ring the bell or triangle, your friends and family will gather around the bell.  You can than except the friends help, or deny it if you wish and they will than be unstuck.  If they already did the job and are just stuck, usually this happens around the tree, you have to wait for the tree to be ready or deny them. 

I like to keep them on the farm though and ring the bell, its fun to watch my husband come to me whenever I call him. The Dinner bell costs 5 horse shoes and the Triangle Dinner bell costs 10,000 coins.

FrontierVille Tip - How to get tools

Sometimes it can take days to have your neighbors and friends send you those tools you need to build your cottage and other buildings.  Lets say your best friend needs the tools for a cottage but you don't, although, they have the same number of friends you do who are the same friends.  What you do is you have each of your neighbor's send you a free gift of paint, hammer, nails and drill.  Between the two of you you should be able to collect the tools needed for at least one person in a day.

Now that you have the tools needed to build a cottage, just simply gift these to your friend through their a) ladder or b) in your inventory you can gift items to them by clicking on the gift icon below the tool.

Now the big question, what are the tools for that you send to people after you finish visiting their farm.  These tools are used for building the crib for the baby, they cannot be broken down like they are for the buildings.

FrontierVille - Harvesting tip

TIP:
Did you know when you need to harvest a crop, for example, lets say a goal is to harvest 50 wheat.  When you visit a neighbor's farm, if they have wheat and you harvest it the wheat will be counted.

If you go to a neighbor's farm and water their crops, but do not harvest it, the time for the crop to be harvested will be cut in half...who knows, just maybe they will return the favor.

FrontierVille...Will it replace FarmVille?

The other day my nephew talked me into trying out FrontierVille and I have been playing it ever since.  Since figuring out most of the plays in FarmVIlle and getting to level 61, frontierville is Farmville and FarmTown rolled into one with a fun RPG game twist to it.

Visiting farms is different than in FarmVille and what I mean by different is visiting a friends farm is more fruitful in earning and enjoyment.  If you would like to know what quests you are going to have to do to start your family, you can visit TheFaceBookInsider for the game spoiler.

Will FrontierVille replace your playing of FarmVille? For myself, no, because when you run out of energy you end up playing FarmVille until you fuel up on more energy.  Because of FrontierVille being so new in beta the game acts screwy most of the time so patience is a must until the game is fixed.
