CityVille Cheats and Tips: Reputation by the numbers

In CityVille, Reputation is more important than you might think. Anyone who has read our guide on Neighbor Visits might agree. As many probably know already, doing each of the five actions you're allowed for a Neighbor every 12 hours drops a single Heart. These Hearts act exactly like the blue stars that stand for XP while tending to your own city, but increase your Reputation level.

However, few might have known exactly how many Hearts it takes to get your Reputation to the maximum level of 50. Here's a hint: it rhymes with "heaven" and ends in "thousand." That's right, it takes a whopping 7,000 Hearts to reach Reputation Level 50

Join us after the break for a full breakdown of how many Hearts it takes to achieve each Reputation level in CityVille.

    Level 32 – 9000 Hearts
    Level 33 – 10000 Hearts
    Level 34 – 11000 Hearts
    Level 35 – 12000 Hearts
    Level 36 – 13000 Hearts
    Level 37 – 14000 Hearts
    Level 38 – 15000 Hearts
    Level 39 – 16000 Hearts
    Level 40 – 17000 Hearts
    Level 41 – 18000 Hearts
    Level 42 – 19000 Hearts
    Level 43 – 20000 Hearts
    Level 44 – 21000 Hearts
    Level 45 – 22000 Hearts
    Level 46 – 23000 Hearts
    Level 47 – 24000 Hearts
    Level 48 – 25000 Hearts
    Level 49 – 30000 Hearts
    Level 50 – 35000 Hearts



As you can see, things get a little crazy around Level 28, doubling the amount of Hearts required for each level to one thousand. The best way to level your Reputation as quickly as possible is to make as many friends as you can and master the 12-hour timer system attached to Reputation. As silly as it sounds, scheduling your Neighbor visits around your daily life will maximize your daily Reputation games. But it's up to you if you want to take it that far.

CityVille: Grow Pineapples to give your city a tropical touch

A new limited edition crop has been added to CityVille that looks to help the game continue in its recent summer theme. However, don't get too excited about this one, as it will cost you City Cash for each individual square you plant. The crop is the Pineapple, and it is available from the regular Crops section of the game's store.

You can plant a single square of Pineapples for 3 City Cash, and while the growth time is instant, you'll only receive 95 Goods per square planted. Sure, that's a great turnaround on an instantly growing crop, but if you instead decide to save your City Cash and grow regular crops, you can each just as many Goods, if not more, by waiting a day and planting Corn, for instance.

Still, if you have plenty of City Cash to throw around, and simply don't want to wait for your crops to grow, this is definitely an option - but only a limited one, as these Pineapples won't be around forever.

Will you plant a field full of Pineapples in your city, or are you sticking with crops that won't cost you any real world money to plant?

CityVille Reel World Timed Goal: Everything you need to know

A new timed goal has launched in CityVille this week, taking us back to the great outdoors for some fishing. If you're level 35 or above, you'll have access to this goal, which can be started at any point in your game - it's up to you when exactly you'll begin. Using our guide to the goal, you should be able to prepare yourself as much as possible before actually starting the goal, and that way you'll have a better chance of earning the gold trophy and the prizes that come with it.

The Reel World

    * Get 10 Fishing Lures
    * Harvest 30 Pumpkins
    * Collect 8 Times from a Seafood Restaurant


A Seafood Restaurant costs just 7,500 coins to purchase from the store, and if you're a veteran player in the game, it's highly unlikely that you don't already have at least one sitting in your town. It requires 140 Goods to operate, so your best bet to completing this particular task quickly would be to make it the only business that currently has Goods, so all citizens will flock to it, causing it to sell out much faster than normal. Pumpkins, meanwhile, take 18 hours to harvest, so unless you follow our suggestion of having pumpkins already to harvest before starting this goal, that's some serious time you'll spend (waste), waiting for them to grow.

If you can complete these three tasks within the first 24 hours of starting the goal, you'll receive the Gold Trophy, a Sailboat, 2,300 coins and 1,200 Goods. Unfortunately, you must complete this goal at this top level to receive the Sailboat. If you don't finish within the first day, but can complete the goal before the 72-hour mark has passed, you'll receive the Silver Trophy, 2,600 coins and 1,200 Goods, while finishing at any point after that cutoff gives you the Bronze Trophy and 1,200 Goods.

Luckily, it seems that these timed goals are becoming a bit easier with each one that's released. So long as you plan ahead with the pumpkin task, you should have no real trouble finishing this one off in 24 hours, but we still wish you good luck in your attempt!

CityVille Campaign Committee Goal: Everything you need to know

If you're looking for a way to earn extra coins, XP and Zoning Permits in CityVille, and you have a lot of friends that are always willing to help you out, you might be interested in the new "Campaign Committee" goal that was launched this week in the game. This feature is open to users that are at least level 15 and have at least one City Hall building in their town. As of right now, this is a one-time only feature, and instead of showing up on the left-hand side of your screen as other goals appear, this one must be activated by you by collecting from your City Hall when it's ready.

The next time you collect your profits from your City Hall, you'll see a new menu, asking you whether or not you'd like to start this new goal. You'll have just 24 hours to collect as much help from your City Hall staff members as you plan your campaign for your run for Governor. There are three levels of prizes associated with this goal, with more upgraded City Halls unlocking better prizes, and the amount of friends that ultimately help you also affecting your rewards. For a Level 2 City Hall, the three level of rewards are 10,000 coins, 40 XP and 3 Zoning Permits.

Once you start the goal (remember, it's a manual start - you can choose to do so whenever you're ready), you'll be able to post wall posts to your friends' walls asking them to come help you out. If you happen to have many spaces filled by Samantha or just blank staff positions, you can fill those by asking friends as well. When a friend responds to your call for help, you'll see a green check mark appear next to their name on the list. After the 24 hour period has passed, you'll receive whatever prizes you've received for your current level (note: you can track your current status on prizes by looking inside the goal's menu, as seen below).

Again, this Campaign Committee goal is a one-time-only activity for your town. Perhaps if it goes over well enough with users, we'll see another opportunity to ask our friends for help with campaign "donations," but for now, just focus all of your efforts on earning the most rewards from this feature while you can.
