Campfire missions

First of all, you will receive the pop-up asking you to place the Pioneer Camp as soon as you log in to the game, and then you’ll have to finish building the Camp using the required materials, as seen in the image below:

Fortunately, we’re talking about just a few of each items, which makes the Pioneer Camp in FrontierVille really easy to build. Maybe because the Pioneer Trail is just around the corner? Let’s hope so!

Now back to the camp fire – new characters (and probably ones that we’ll meet again during our trip to Fort Courage) will pass by the fire and tell you stories about the Trail, but only after you help them in one way or another (by completing missions). There are 5 new characters that you must help to find out valuable information about the Pioneer Trail and receive valuable items from them: everything is done via a new series of Missions.

The Missions

Pioneer Camp Missions and requirements. We’ll start with the first mission in the series:

FrontierVille Make Camp mission guide

- Finish Building the Pioneer Camp
- Tend 40 Cows on your Homestead
- Clobber 5 Groundhogs

The rewards are very important here: 500 XP, one Flint (part of the Pioneer Camp collection) and a Blue Tent – possibly an item required for the Pioneer Trail.

FrontierVille A Handy Dandy mission guide

- Chop Oak Trees 100 Times on your Homestead or a Neighbors’
- Collect Two Pine Cones (Pine Tree collection item)
- Collect 10 Trail Canteens (ask friends to get them)

The reward for completing the A Handy Dandy mission is hearing the story of the Carpenter character and more important 1,000 coins, a Nature Journal and a Girly Tent.

FrontierVille Mountain Goat Jerky mission guide

- Collect one Chicken Drumstick (chicken collection)
- Collect 100 Food
- Collect 8 Preserving Salts (ask friends)

Completing the Goat Jerky mission will unlock the story of the Hunter and reward you with 1,000 XP, a Roasted Mallow and a Pioneer Stew Pot.

FrontierVille Pioneer’s Scourge mission guide

- Clear 50 Grass on your Homestead or a Neighbor’s Homestead
- Harvest 10 Wildflowers on your Homestead
- Collect 8 Stinky Herbs (again, ask neighbors for the items)

Completing this mission will unlock for you the story the Doctor has to say about the Pioneer’s Trail and reward you with 2,000 coins, a Skeeter Ointment and a Polka Dot Tent.

FrontierVille Mathilda the Rifle Mission guide

- Collect 5 Saltpeter (trade in the Manure Collection)
- Collect 10 Iron Ore (clear rocks on your homestead)
- Collect 10 Rounds (ask friends)

As the mission suggests, the character unlocked by it is the Soldier and the reward you get for completing the mission is 1,500 XP, a Roasted Mallow and a Camo Tent.

FrontierVille Pioneer Goods Mission guide

- Craft Two Cribs (inside the Barn)
- Collect One Brake Lever (part of the Wagon collection)
- Collect Eight Shipping Manifests (ask friends)

This final mission in the series unlocks the Trader and his story, plus the fact that it offers you a reward of 2,000XP, a Mess Kit and a Horse-stream Trailer.

The collections

Pioneer Campsite Collection which requires you to gather the following items to complete it:

- Flint
- Nature Journal
- Skeeter Ointment
- Roasted Mallow
- Mess Kit

As you can see in the image above, the reward for trading in this collection is a Sleeping bag for Two, a decoration you can place on your homestead instead of something that you can use while on the Pioneer Trail in FrontierVille.

However, the nice thing about this collection is the fact that all the collectibles required for completing it will be rewarded to you when you complete Pioneer camp missions, which make it one of the easiest collections to complete and trade in.
