Mafia Wars has taken social networking by storm and seems to have the potential of becomeWorld of Warcraft of the social scene. The Mafia Wars craze is running wild with a player base

s quickly exceeding more than 11 million players.

Here are 101 Mafia Wars Tips that you can use to improve your character, pull down the big

and win every fight.

Getting StartedGetting StartedGetting StartedGetting Started.) Whats in a name?

Everyone wants to have their own unique personality even in a game like Mafia Wars but it cadone in a tasteful manner. Using names that have profanity, hate, sexism, innuendo, etc. eventually cause your account to be banned so much for Mafia Wars.

2.) Picking a Character Type

Mogul Earns money faster Maniac Regains energy faster Fearless Regains health faster

3.) The Best Type to Play

ike all character based games they all have their strengths and weaknesses. If you want to

quickly the best choice is the Fearless type. I can hear the groans and whining now but hear m

and you may think differently.

Even though the Maniac regenerates energy faster and might leap ahead of the Fearless early, in the long run the Maniac will see nothing but tail lights as Fearless charges by. Thbecause once a Fearless type is put into the Wheelman position (which only they can be in)

mafia they gain the ability to occasionally pay ZERO energy for a job. When we say occasionausually 3 5 times per level. This is where Fearless will out pace Maniac.

4.) Energy, Energy, Energy

f you want to powerlevel super quick you should be dumping their points into nothing but enuntil around level 200. This is true even with the Fearless type. The energy reduction benefit Fearless gives is based on their level and early on energy is everything to all types. If you wabuild a stronger character you can point puts in attack and defense early on but itll be a lot sl

o level.

5.) Attack and Defense

Unless you plan on beating your head against the wall over and over and knocking your self siattacking all the time be very sparing on the points in these until after level 200. Then start slampoints into attack and defense. By that time you should have a full 501 members in your mafia

be very well equipped.

6.) Health

his stat is all but useless since you have access to healing just about anytime you want it. I f you o get the bulletproof achievement go for it, otherwise dont waste points here.

7.) Stamina

tart looking at this stat when you have decided that it is time to start on the offense and ighting.

BankingBankingBankingBanking

8.) Dont bother keeping your cash in the bank if you are level 50 or lower. Here is why.

ets say you are working out the tier at the Consigliere level. It will take around 300 jobs to comand at roughly $5 million per job you would earn $1.5 billion. If you deposit that amount into the at 10% banking fee you are paying $150 million dollars. Since the most that you can lose in any sight is $100,000 you would have to lose 1,500 fights to save money by banking.

Not many people in the GAME have lost 1,500 fights so what are the chances you will beforenotice it.

9.) Banking in Cuba(Cuba is now Closed)

Cuba is a completely different story. Money there is pretty scarce and you can still lose up to 10

n a fight. When in Cuba use the bank regularly.

Buying PropertyBuying PropertyBuying PropertyBuying Property

0.) Buy Property in Blocks of Ten

When possible buy property in blocks of ten to save money. Take abandoned lots for instanc

abandoned lots cost $7000 each at the level you are at a block of 10 would cost $70,000. Eachyou buy a property the cost goes up, if you buy a block they all at the same price. In the exahere buying 10 abandoned lots one at a time would cost $115,000. Buying them in a block aves $45,000. That is just on empty lots, imagine the cost on casinos if you buy them one by one

1.) Some properties go up in cost faster than others. Building costs go up much quicker tha

cost of the lots that they sit on.

The Home PageThe Home PageThe Home PageThe Home Page

2.) Limited Time Offers

Keeping your mafia well equipped in very important if you want to kick ass and take names ooffense or have an impenetrable wall on defense. On the home page right under the ho

button there will be an item listed that requires a certain number of mafia. It can be a weapoarmor but it is usually pretty damned good as far as purchasable items go. Stock up on them wyou can.

3.) Player Updates

Keep an eye on player updates this is where you can see if you have any rewards coming

helping your mafia. This can also be seen under notifications on Facebook but always check wyou are on the home page. If you miss out you could be losing some extra cash and experience

4.) Keep a high level Fearless type in the Wheelman position on your top mafia. Ideally the phould be higher than level 299 in order to receive the maximum energy reduction of 11%.

5.) Pick jobs that give the most bang for the buck. If a job awards 49 experience points foenergy cost of 27 it is much more efficient than one that gives 5 for 5.

Using Energy PacksUsing Energy PacksUsing Energy PacksUsing Energy Packs

6.) Using energy packs to simply level is a waste of a good energy pack.

7.) Dont start using energy packs before level 100. If you are smart and use you head you

each level 100 very quickly. To make full use of the power of an energy pack you need to haarge amount of energy.

8.) The best use for energy packs is to do missions that allow you to stock up on consumables

as computer setups, concealable cameras, untraceable cell phones, and the like. You are goinuse a large amount of consumable to react then upper levels.

he problem is that most of the missions in which these items can be found are pretty horrible whcomes to experience versus energy usage. Using an energy pack will help a great deal when fior consumables.

9.) When using an energy pack to gather consumable items go into your Top Mafia and demyour Mastermind. This will let you do the jobs many more times since the object when lookin

tems is not leveling its doing the job over and over.

20.) Dont forget to promote your Mastermind when you are done.

21.) Always do your most expensive and best experience job right before you hit a new levelenergy right up until you cannot do another job without leveling then pick a big one to give yump on next level.

22. The best setup to squeeze the most experience out of jobs for the least amount of energy iollowing setup.

Top Wheelman (level 299+) for an 11% reduction on energy costs. The best Mastermind (level 299+) for an 11% bonus to experience on jobs. A Private Island for which gives a bonus of 5% experience on jobs for being a M

Underboss.

23.) Just because you have mastered a tier does not mean you should quit doing jobs there. MWars has a number of missions that requires the use of consumable goods that can only be lo

rom mission. You will NOT get everything that you need from mastering a tier. See above uusing energy packs

24.) Look for rare items as random loot. Some jobs advertise that there is a chance to find rare needed for some other jobs.

25.) Here is a quick list of rare items and where they are found

.22 Pistol Beat Up Rival Gangster .45 Revolver Take Out A Rouge Cop .50 Caliber Rifle Disrupt Rival Smuggling Ring 9mm Semi-Automatic Rob A Pimp Armored Car Invade Tong-Controlled Neighborhood Armored Truck Smuggle Across The Border Automatic Rifle Bust a Made Man Out of Prison Bodyguards Protect Your City Against A Rival Family Brass Knuckles Rough Up Dealers Bullet-Proof Bentley Win 20,000 Chips In Mafia Wars Poker Butterfly Knife Collect Protection Money C-4 Destroy Enemy Mon Hideout Grenade Launcher Repel the Yakuza Napalm Attack Exterminate a Rival Family Night Vision Goggles Assassinate A Political Figure RGP Launcher Sell Guns to Russian Mob Semi-Automatic Shotgun Fight a Haitian Gang Stab-Proof Vest Kill A Protected Snitch Tactical Shotgun Perform a Hit

You may not get some of these items as you master the tiers. Chances are you will have to c

back and work the missions for some time to get them all.

How can you know if you will win a fight? You wont know for sure until you try but there are s

hings you can do to investigate your opponent.

26.) Mafia Size

OK, this one is kind of a no-brainer but I thought I should toss it in. If your enemy has a smaller mhan you do you have a better chance of winning, if its larger you will probably lose.

27.) Check the win/loss record. If a player has fought a total of 122 fights and lost 80 it basmeans that they are on the losing end 67% of the time and should be fairly easy. On the other h

f they have fought 122 fights and lost only 22 they have a winning percentage of 82% and wmake a hard target.

28.) Take a look at Deaths versus mobsters whacked. Its a good bet that if a player has significmore kills than deaths they could very well be bad news for you.

29.) Another indicator is successful heists and times robbed. If the person has never robbed anyand been beaten up regularly they are a mark. If they have a great deal of successful heistsnever been robbedrun away.

30.) To win easy fights find a weak player and attack them repeatedly.

31.) Weak players are nice but inactive ones are gravy. Check to see if the collectables they h

are old, if so chances are they are inactive. People quit the game every day but the game remactive. When you find one of these guys make note of them and you can pluck them like a chic

How to Deal With Being on the Hit List

f you are the kind of player who keeps their nose clean and does not attack or rob others and

happy with doing jobs chances are you will never see the Hit List. On the other hand if you are ype that likes to attack others or rob their properties eventually you will either get hit or g

attacked by the buddies of someone you have pissed off.

Here are a few tips to help beef up your defenses and maybejust maybe survive.

32.) Add more mafia. A bigger mafia means more protection.


8/21

33.) Get the best equipment that you can afford. You want to have the best armor for each of mafia. Since only 501 can help you on any one fight you need to own 501 of the best armor

weapons that you can afford.

Now that youve added more mafia members (or already had 500), its important that they are

equipped. You will want one weapon, armor, and vehicle for each person in your mafia. The h

he defense on the items, the better off you will be when defending your self from attacks. Herest of the best equipment (weapons, armor, and vehicles both bought from the shop and drop

by jobs) for defense:

34.)Best Items in the game for defense

Weapon

Gaff Hook 30 defense Pillage a Shipyard job in the El Jefe tier in Cuba.Armor

Guerrilla Squad 34 defense Supply the FRG with Some Extra Muscle job in the ElPadrino tier in Cuba

Vehicles

Armored State Car 38 defense Storm the Presidential Palace job in the El Padrino tCuba.

Private Jet 38 Defense Dropped from jobs and fights35.) Spend points on Defense

501 mafia and top defensive equipment are not going to be enough if you have put no points

defense. You can get extra points by vaulting collections. As a rule of thumb your defense shouequal to your level for higher survivability. You can use Godfather points to get +4 stat poineeded.

36.) Hit them hard. If you are attacking and are awarded the maximum amount of cash, $100hen hit them again.

37.) If robbing is your favorite activity you are most definitely a mobster and along with

distinction will come the inevitable Hit List. Most of the time you can attack people and pretty mget away with it, but hit their properties a bunch of times and you are most likely dead meat.

38.) No matter how big and bad you think you are there is always someone out there somewhat is just a little bigger and a little more

39.) If it is your goal never to be on the hit list its really very easily accomplished.

1. Stick to doing jobs2. If you DO attack someone do it once and move to another target.3. NEVER rob properties

Follow those 3 rules and you will most likely never be on the Hit list.

Properties and Property ManagemenProperties and Property ManagemenProperties and Property ManagemenProperties and Property Managemen

40.) The safest properties to own are lots of all kinds and Mafia Mikes. Properties and Mikes ca

be robbed.

41.) If you own properties other than those mentioned above keep them well insured.

42.) Make money with Mafia Mikes. You can own one for every 2 members of your mafia. G

your mafia to few thousand and you have a pretty sweet income that is not subject to roving bof robbers. So recruit constantly.

43.) Always make sure that you have the maximum amount of Mafia Mikes purchased befo

ime to collect your take. I recruit constantly but within a half hour of payout I take time out to mure that I am full on the property.

How to Keep From Being RobbedHow to Keep From Being RobbedHow to Keep From Being RobbedHow to Keep From Being Robbed

44.) Keep your mafia numbers equal to your level. In normal fights you and 500 of your buddies

work together to kick some butt but its completely different in robbery scenarios.

n robberies you may attack or defend with an amount equal to your level. When the robbers lohe list and they see less mafia than the level of the player it makes you a target.

45.) Equipment makes the difference. Your defenders are only as strong as the equipment thatgive them. If you have nothing but junk, get ready to pay through the nose, but if you have tohe line stuff the robbers may have bitten off a bit more mark than they can chew

46.) Keep Leveling Up. Get out of the lower levels as quickly as possible. The higher level you are

ess appetizing you will look to the sharks. Besides boss jobs pay much better than robbing and tare chances for some sweet loot.

47.) Keep your hands out of the cookie jar. If you dont want to be robbed then dont rob others

48.) Win fights. There are very few stats available there are only a few tidbits of information womeone is going to rob you. They can see mafia size, if the property is protected, and stan

profile stats. If they see a high win over loss ratio they are less likely to pick on you.

49.) Use smoke and mirrors. No, not magic tricks, I am talking about artificially inflating your winatio. You can make it appear that you are far tougher than you are by fighting weaker people

building the wins. Call it camouflage.

50.) Dont Hit List people, plain and simple.

51.) Always buy protection.
