Upgrading the CityVille Clerk's Office: Everything you need to know

With the way Zynga's going, there won't be any more buildings to give nifty upgrades to in CityVille. The next building to get a boost is the Clerk's Office, and thankfully there's an interesting purpose to upgrading this time around.

When you reach Level 2 with this structure, you will be allowed to rename any of your Businesses at any time ... for free. Alright, so it's not huge, but it's still pretty dang cool, no? At any rate, on with the guide.

Once you reach Level 15 and have a Clerk's Office, clicking on the building should open the familiar upgrade window. This is where you'll need to enlist your friends' help in acquiring the following items:

    3 Staplers
    8 Ink Pads
    3 Paper Weights
    3 Pencil Sharpeners
    8 Manila Folders


Of course, you're also open to send these gifts to your friends through this menu window, which might increase your chances of receiving these items in return. Once you finish finding these materials, your Clerk's Office will support 300 Population and allow you to rename Businesses at any time for zero cost.

In order to upgrade to a Level 3 Clerk's Office, you must collect the daily bonus from the Level 2 version of the building. The next level will require much of the same materials, likely in larger numbers, which you should already know how to get your hands on. The Level 3 Clerk's Office offers support for 400 Population, and features a fancy new design.

Using the CityVille Eiffel Tower: Everything you need to know

So, you've finally completed all three CityVille Landmarks required to unlock the Eiffel Tower: The Sailboat Hotel, the Tonga Tower and the French Riviera Casino. Now that the game's first Wonder is yours, just what do you do with it? More importantly, how does it work? Luckily for you, we have the answers. Here's everything you need to know about the Eiffel Tower:

What's This Thing Do?
Once you unlock the Eiffel Tower, building it is as simple as placing it, and then clicking on its foundation to finish it. What the building does essentially is power-up the payouts of all Restaurants, Hotels and other Businesses in your city. More specifically, Wonders triple the payout of Hotels, double the payout of Restaurants and boost other Businesses by 25 percent. However, this effect only lasts for a limited time. In that respect, Wonders are similar to Attractions in the game.

Giving the Shine Treatment
There's no range on the Eiffel Tower--it's bonuses are city-wide. So, place the building wherever you please. Then, click on the building to get it started. Each time you use the Eiffel Tower, it costs you 3 Energy, and the effect lasts for three minutes. You can extend this time with City Cash, which at least grants you with bonus Energy. During that three minutes, any relevant buildings surrounding the Wonder will sparkle, and you must collect from those buildings while the bonuses are in effect.

Pushing the Restart Button
After the three minutes are up, your Eiffel Tower will shut down, so to speak. An icon with a key inside will hover above the building. Click it to open a new window in which displays two options. If you want to use the Wonder again immediately, you can ask your friends for six Keys to start it up again, but if you're willing to wait, the Eiffel Tower recharges in 72 hours. In essence, the Eiffel Tower is one massive Attraction, so push the power button and reap the rewards.
