no lovely pictures this time, just text!
First the Triad is cheaper then the Yakuza by a bit over 3000 energy
But the other admins have told me i need to be quite and just post that you have to play as Yakuza
the reasoning the loot


The Lloyds Spectre is just 1 point better then the Konstantin Cargo Carrier and is now the top DEF Vehicle
And the Cleaver has been included it has the same Def as the Zmeya Carbon Blade but its included anyway for those who didnt have a chance to pickup 501 Zmeya Carbon Blade's

NEW way to get your mini energy buff

This is for those who don't want the toolbar yet want the mini buff.

The toolbar sent out 2 urls, one to inform Zynga that user is indeed using the toolbar and the second is just the toolbar's way of starting up Mafia Wars

INSTRUCTIONS :

1. Make sure you're logged into Facebook first.

2. This is the first link. Click it -


Guessing this is Zynga's way of informing that the user has indeed started up mafia wars since previously logged off users kept getting hit listed even when logged off after installing the toolbar.

If you should get something like this -

Click on the link to log in and allow permissions to whatever popup comes up.

If you get ANY other page, don't worry it means you've already granted permissions to whatever is needed to access the buff.



3. Click this link. It basically starts up MW and gives you the buff -




4. Once you've done this, make sure you click this link too -


This is the toolbar's way of informing Zynga that the user has logged off and cannot be hit listed/attacked over and over again.

Order of Mastery for Maximum Progression

It takes a considerable amount of time to fully master all of the job tiers currently available within Mafia Wars. Which ones should we focus on mastering first?

you don't have to fully master all of the prior job tiers in order to receive the "Mastery Loot" for that particular job tier (for example, you don't have to master Capo in order to receive the Golden Throne if you want to master Boss first).

Job Mastery Explained :--
To fully master a job tier, you must complete three levels of progression. By completing the first level, you will be granted a "Title" for that particular job tier (Street Thug, Enforcer, Underboss, etc). Upon completing the 2nd level of progression, you will be "skilled" at that job tier (however, in order to be granted the skilled title, you must be skilled at the lower job tiers). The final level of progression is master. Upon mastering a particular job tier, you will receive special mastery loot.



List of "mastery loot":-

  • Street Thug tier(level1-4)- Pistol Bayonet: +4% damage dealt in fights

  • Associate Tier (level5-8)- Bugatti: -7% damage received in fights

  • Soldier Tier (level 9-12)-Golden Skull: a 30 second reduction on your health regen timer

  • Enforcer (level 13-17)- Money Plate: a 5% discount on property purchases

  • Hitman Tier (level 18-24)- Chainsaw Bayonet: a 30 second reduction on your stamina regen timer

  • Capo Tier (level 25 -34)-State Senator: a 5% discount on property repairs

  • Consigliere Tier (level 35- 59)- Helicopter: a 30 second reduction on your energy regen timer

  • Underboss Tier (level 60-99)- Private Island: a 5% bonus on job experience

  • Boss Tier (level 100+)-Golden Throne: 2x the energy regenerated per regen period


Recommendations:
  • First: Obtain mastery for Street Thug (complete all 3 levels). These jobs require little energy and will reward additional profile points for completion. The Pistol Bayonet doesn't actually increase progression rate, but since we all must start on Street Thug jobs, makes sense to go ahead and complete these. By the time that you get Street Thug mastery, you will be very close to start on our next recommended level, Hitman.

  • Second: Begin working on the Hitman jobs. The energy/experience ratio is substantially higher on these levels. You probably will not be able to master this tier prior to reaching level 35. Upon reaching level 35 start working on the Consigliere jobs!!

  • Third: Begin working on Consigliere jobs as soon as you reach level 35. This is the most important tier for you to master ASAP. The helicopter (30 second reduction on energy regen timer) will greatly increase your ability to level faster. Use the majority of your energy on these jobs until you receive the helicopter.

  • Fourth: Begin working on Boss jobs. If you've already mastered Consigliere and you aren't quite level 100 yet, go back and finish Hitman jobs. If you still aren't level 100 and you've mastered the 3 tiers that we have recommended, use your energy working on jobs that drop required items for completion of the Boss level jobs (its quite a long list). The Golden Throne will GREATLY increase your ability to level!!

  • Fifth: Begin working on Underboss jobs. The Private Island is the 4th of the four mastery loot items that will directly relate to increased progression. After completing mastery of this tier, you can go back and master the other previously unmastered job tiers with a much quicker pace.
