Facebook Mafia Wars – How to Level Quick & Impress Your Friends

This announce was originally from Feb 2009, before copious of the fresh features allied job crackerjacky, achievements, Cuba, and Russian federation. Forasmuch as you may boast details on some of these items lost or that matters elbow grease completely disparate in places. I am no longer updating this blog, however yet of the counsel even holds kosher (cache putting all of your profile points into pressure!!!). Thanks for forgiving and ace luck on the streets!!!

I’m currently a constant 92 335 (as of 6/25/09) Courageous in Facebook Mafia Wars. I go back starting away and scouring the internet for some deluxe hints (not cheats), and growth highly disappointed at the deficit of commendable benefit absent there. Most of the articles focused on cheats (provided you’re going to cheat, why bother playing???) or were written by a commensurate 20-something. I endow a couple of acceptable tidbits, which I bear applied, on the contrary gem it my boundness to fill a cavity that’s gone there. So here are some tips and cooperate on levelling quickly in Facebook Mafia Wars.

Note that there are INDEFINITE at variance ways to play this entertainment. I prefer to play to exact quickly and consistently, hence this is what this captain focuses on.

Disclaimer: This chaperon is written by an engineer. Proceed with alert intellect.

When I started this sport, I had no design what I was getting into. Or what an addiction Mafia Wars would mature. You’re antecedent disposed the election of a flag and crasis type. Don’t doubt as well still approximately your alias. You could choose one to intimidate, or pick “Don something” coextensive most others. Don’t bother trying to receive “Godfather” – it’s taken. And provided you complete happen to select mistake, you keep the fair shake to interchange it next using expenditure points (stopover the Godfather). For disposition type, the hold up one to fix yourself up to flat quickly is “Maniac.” Maniacs keep compel that regenerates quicker, vs. Lord which regenerates boodle quicker, and Valorous which regenerates health quicker. With the solution to levelling quickly (and with less bout/deed expense) lifetime power to effect jobs, Maniac becomes the sunshiny winner.

You are obsessed some fee (Godfather) points starting away. Don’t spend these prerrogative elsewhere. As beguiling as it is to spend them, dispose a first-class dray ovum and payment yourself adjacent. To equivalent the quickest, alone spend Godfather points everyone day you distance 10, and capitalization them on an force refill (after you are at naught force and won’t dissipate the refill points, sure).

Income. In the induction your biggest field should be moulding cash to erect your empire. Inauguration by doing some jobs.  At inceptive concentrate on jobs that earn you bread so that you can save up to purchase some belongings. You’ll move some knowledge and testament climb a uncommon levels again, on the other hand the pivotal here is to erect a forceful representation so that you can commensurate quickly and efficiently sequential on. And discharge some robbing (in the “Contention” tab). On the other hand whether you are not winning mode from them create not draw out to rob them. You’ll imaginable treasure this to be extra forcible than doing jobs (one at cardinal) in forging some active dough. Once your lodge ovum is built, nevertheless, there testament be no duty to rob anyone as your hourly means from belongings that you testament get testament be else than sufficient to garner you going.

Properties. Once you acquire a belongings (1 or 10) the worth of the abutting one(s) goes up. So to receipts work of the low bill of initial properties, sole pay for in quantities of 10. Be patient and save up; it testament be value the chronology. The isolated exception is Mafia Mike’s, which you can apart purchase in parcel of one by reason of your endowment to pay for it is dependent on Mafia extent. Shop for Mafia Mike’s as soon as you posses 1)enough check to obtain 10 deserted lots and a Mafia Mike’s and 2)enough mafia to be eligible to obtain them.

To impress into the factual nitty-gritty of buying properties, concentrate on saving up cardinal for properties that administer the shortest reimburse on investment (ROI). To figure this away, add the price of 10 lots required for your belongings to the worth of 10 properties and section this complete by the way this belongings testament feed (don’t forget to multiply mode by 10, as you testament pay for 10 of the belongings). The digit you dispose is the cipher of hours it testament proceeds you to brew back the complete proportions of bankroll you invested in the lots & properties. You yearning this character to be as low as likely. I indeed settle well-adjusted an Excel spreadsheet to prioritize which properties I needed to obtain in which adjustment, and I updated it everyone day belongings costs went up. I propose you accomplish the equivalent. It’ll accord you a stirring line of what to get when you gain the method to bring about so. (Letter: Once I owned approximately 20 of everything, I establish that the ROI was so faraway that I didn’t yet fancy to bother. As drawn out as you are manufacture in the $15-20 million/hr. gamut, you are viable commendable to comprehend any now upkeep charges you testament ever enjoy.) Update 5/16/09: Habituated the “Achievements” aspect added earlier this month, you may need to keep at buying belongings until you are in the $100 million + gamut. $20 million/hr testament be sufficient to cause whatever you yearning to bring about in this pastime (outfit your mafia, etc.), on the contrary it testament haul you FOREVER to hit the “bank $1 trillion and $10 trillion” achievements. Espy my other announce Facebook Mafia Wars – Engage in the Maths! for extra on those achievements.

Mafia. Starting absent, EFFECT NOT create a bulky mafia. To be energetic in fighting you must be able to outfit all of your mafia with the peak in weapon, safeguard, and vehicle. Provided your mafia is also colossal at cardinal you testament not be able to afford the stock or upkeep associated with interest them all outfitted. Instead, amuse yourself 6 mafia family quickly (for a complete family of 7), as you can compose them your top mafia and, provided they deposit you in their top mafia then they can then service you with vigour packs (impact boosts they can mail you every 24 hrs so that you can act augmented jobs). Your top mafia should be crowd who play recurrently, and ideally that deposit you in their top mafia. And enshrine to shop for all of the Mafia Mike’s properties that you can obsessed your family immensity of 7. WARNING – be careful approximately buying your mafia family of 7 all of the biggest and elite weapons, safeguard, and vehicles honest elsewhere, as you may drop yourself into obligation. Memo carefully the upkeep ($/hr) associated with everyone stock obtain you build, and dash off positive you own quantity to comprehend that valuation and all the more beget a decent hourly wealth.

Profile points. Profile points are the points you pay for when you equivalent up or crackerjack jobs. I would propose dumping all of these into power at basic and current. Here’s why:

Profile points lay into impact come directly back to you in doing points, in anywhere from a 1:1 to 2:1 ratio (training per force bill), depending on the job. Profile points settle into stamina transmit to you in an criterion of approximately 2:1 (involvement per stamina payment), which is exceeding than what you carry for strength value, on the contrary it costs TWO profile points to elevate stamina by 1 (so the training to profile ratio is peerless 1:1 current provided you settle points in relation to stamina, vs. a continued 1:1 to 2:1 happening whether you settle points in relation to contact). Moreover, to sweep fights you’ll exigency to propel profile points not just into stamina, nevertheless very into incursion and defence. (Confusing, I be read, on the other hand keep at to instigation this absent and it’ll constitute concept.) So to last to receive the most evidence gone of everyone profile aim, concentrate on using them to act extra jobs (impulse) vs. fitting in a superior way at fighting (stamina, blitz, and defence). Don’t bother to ever settle profile points into health. Health exclusive prolongs how great you can action without visiting the physician, nevertheless now you’ll be creation so yet process that you’ll be able to afford the physician as still as you’d allying without investigation.

Daily gameplay strategy. Don’t ever let strength and/or stamina max outside (ideally). Whether you effect this you are never letting a site pep to dissipate. Nevertheless realistically you won’t be able to create this perfectly. So, everyone bout you proof into Mafia Wars, arrange certain you spend every pressure and stamina speck you hog. The sole exception is for force. Provided you distinguish that you’ll be able to evaluation in again before your impulse maxes elsewhere, and that provided by saving points you’ll be able to conclude a more desirable job (also training for the impact objective) or a job you much devoir to masterly, then by all process save some power points. (My power is instanter above 800, and never maxes absent overnight, so I can normally much save a infrequent carry on of the dim to arrange exceeding jobs in the forenoon.)

An contemporary strategy for when you are fast to levelling up is to call up most, however not all of your coercion, saving sufficiently to discharge a job you duty to skilled (or just another skilled existence:pressure job). Then, inch your hook up to the hard by flush by robbing, on the other hand cessation when you are within 6 action points of levelling up. Lastly, apply up the carry on bit of coercion you hold to jump to the consequent aligned, and you testament already annex a jump on convention points for your attached equable.

Energy pack usage. When you applicability an vigour pack, it refills all of your power PLUS another 25%. Since, to receive the most outside of every coercion pack and never let an impact pack force to misspend, one manipulate vigour packs when you are at Force=nil, and ideally fitting after you flat up and appliance up your vigour that was refilled from the level-up. The alone eternity I don’t wait to flat up before using an impulse pack is when I be informed that I can custom up the unabridged compel pack without levelling up in the centre of that force (and let vigour points get-up-and-go to fritter).

The hitlist. I’ve seen multifold folks say that the hitlist can bring in some curt dough, on the contrary I never had any luck with it. You sole charge to be the at the end gunfire that brings one of these colossal guys down to pull in the bounty cash, on the other hand normally when there’s one on the information valuation going after (disclose over $100,000 or so) you are one of lousy with trying to bring him down and the odds aren’t with you. On the other hand, provided you conclude decide to convey it a life, my support is to establish a lower border on the bounty dollar magnitude and apart potency after the ones where you can compose that even or amassed, and exclusive day one attacking them after they’ve been on the dossier for at least a dwarf bit (so that others gain a chance to defeat them down a bit – cite, you just itch to deliver the ultimate hit that brings them down in plan to gather the bounty cash).

Once you prompt to the stop in the sport where you are creation $15-20 million/hr you can actually open levelling up in the sport quickly.

How usually to play. From what I’ve seen, you’re doing beefy whether you can commensurate up twice in one period (assuming you compass not mastered all NY jobs and are not getting the 2 compel pts per regen margin – once you dispose those you should be able to consistent up at least 3x per lifetime and sometimes 4x). I typically exigency to research into the amusement just once/day and assume 1 force pack/day to cook this happen. I succeed the strategies outlined above in “Diurnal gameplay strategy“ and “Vigour pack usage” in my diurnal play.

Deffinal yourself. Yet whether you are not one to instigate fights or rob anyone in Mafia Wars, you testament be attacked and robbed. Nevertheless, there are legion ways to defend yourself without putting profile points into defence. Here are some of those ways:

Always arrange persuaded your abundant family is outfitted with the choicest weapon, safeguard, and vehicle. This testament insure you the capital chance of winning a altercation once someone picks it. The amusement testament automatically choose from your stock the peak items cardinal and testament pick one weapon, protective part, and vehicle for everyone member to advantage in a brush. Don’t distress approximately selling items that aren’t deluxe sufficiently unless the clutter in reality gets to you or the upkeep charges are extremely steep. Message that lousy with of the determinate items offered on the “Native” stage are still larger than the items in the “Stock” stage. Get these when you can (when you hog sufficiently mafia), as they are a extensive deal, on the other hand don’t habit your mafia family just to get them. Conformation a brimming mafia, provided you can afford to outfit them all. Most players going elsewhere to pick fights or rob others are going to pick on the babyish guys. Bull mafias are intimidating; provided you admit a enormous mafia, chances are you’ll influence picked on less. Don’t lay folk on the hitlist or sucker punch them just considering they attacked you, robbed you, snuffed you, or levy you on the hitlist. Be the greater male. Each needs to assailing or rob others to assemble the most of their stamina points, so let them rob or initiative you and be done. You’ve viable robbed or attacked them before anyways. More select yet, packages them a boon companion begging and add them to your mafia =)

Property upkeep. I’m not a bull fan of this facet added Feb 2009, however just don’t forget to grip dumping resources into your belongings so that they draw out to produce the resources that you demand. You can all the more choose to “protect” your belongings by dumping a embryonic additional into them. (It’s ok though, I needed something to spend my $10 billion + on…)

Mastering jobs. I engage in agnate this different circumstance added Feb 2009. It adds another custom to receive profile points (to dump into coercion) and adds some conglomeration to the jobs you end (I had single been doing the Hitman job “Exterminate a Competitor Family” considering it had an monumental payout of 70 empiricism for just 40 force.) I’m sole assuming that mastering these jobs and thus getting deeper action points helps aligned quicker in the enduring race, on the other hand unbelievably sufficiently I haven’t done the maths.

Well mafiosos, I concern this helped you outside. Provided you acquire anything to add or debunk, palpation for love to add comments below. I testament last to refresh this proclaim as I gain besides or debunk myself. Detect you on the streets.

Ciao.
