Mafia Wars Money Laundering Collection & Boost; Strategy Guide

Vaulting the money laundering collection reduces the bank deposit fee from 10% to 7%. This is not a bad collection, but it's a bit underwhelming; it will only be useful in Cuba. Odds are people still won't be able to steal even 7% of your money from fighting if you have a decent amount of it, so it is better to just keep it in your inventory if you have more than around 50,000,000 (either New York or Moscow) or so.

As a boost, you can get a "Money Sock" which makes each job you do pay out 50% more (pretty weak in my opinion, even if you get 7) considering how many people you are going to have to help to get that many collection pieces in the first place.

Choosing your class; Mafia Wars Strategy

Choosing your class; Mafia Wars Strategy
Welcome to the guide. After some thought and experimentation, I've developed a way to run through the entire mafia wars' game in just a few days time, while mastering all the jobs along the way! To do this, it is important to develop a "sustainable character". Just remember that every decision should allow your character to never need to wait on stamina and energy to continue through the game. There is more to the strategy then simply maxing energy- the real goal is to maximize energy efficiency - that is how much exp you are able to get out of each energy point. With that said, on with the guide!

Character Selection

The first thing you have to do when you start playing Mafia Wars is to pick your character type. Once you pick your type, there is no turning back. There are three types: Maniac (faster energy regeneration rate), Mogul (more money from buildings), and Fearless (faster health regeneration rate).

Character selection is where most people make the biggest mistake. The common thought is that energy is important, so the "Maniac" is the best because it regenerates energy 40% faster than any other class. Wrong! While it sounds good at first, the way to level your character as fast as possible is to never need to wait for energy in order to level up. Therefore, any bonus to energy regeneration is inconsequential.

The best class for leveling up quickly is Fearless. Most people seem to think fearless is the worst class because its bonus is to regenerate health quicker, but health in Mafia Wars is inconsequential. This part is true. However, in order to level quickly, the plan is to never need to rely on energy regeneration in the first place! So energy regeneration is inconsequential as well.

However, only the Fearless type can be promoted to "Wheelman" in the top mafia section. If your character is someone else's "Wheelman", there is a chance that you will be able to do your job at no energy cost(but you still get the xp!). Only Fearless characters can be promoted to Wheelman.

What does this mean? Only Fearless characters can possibly get a bonus to "energy efficiency", that is because they randomly get a chance to spend no energy, they get more exp per energy point (assuming you are someone's wheelman)!

So, when you chose your character, choose "Fearless." Selengkapnya...

How to win Fights on Defense in Mafia Wars; Facebook Strategy & Leveling Guide

How to win Fights on Defense in Mafia Wars; Facebook Strategy & Leveling Guide
The best way to avoid losing fights in Mafia Wars is to not get attacked in the first place. The same tips that I covered earlier in the "How Not to Get Robbed" section will also help prevent you from being attacked. However, if you like to fight other players, it is inevitable that at some point you will encounter another player who will either put you on the hitlist or get his buddies to attack you. In this situation, there are a couple things you can do to boost your defense:

1. Recruit more Mafia Members

It's a bit of a redundant theme at this point, but one of the easiest things you can do to not lose as many fights on defense is to add mafia members. If you are lacking mafia members, look for groups on facebook like "Mafia Wars Recruitment Center" and you will be able to find more mafia members there.

2. Equip your Mafia

Now that you've added more mafia members (or already had 500), it's important that they are fully equipped. You will want one weapon, armor, and vehicle for each person in your mafia. The higher the defense on the items, the better off you will be when defending yourself from attacks. Here is a list of the best equipment (weapons, armor, and vehicles both bought from the shop and dropped by jobs) for defense:

Weapon:

Gaff Hook - 30 defense - dropped from the "Pillage a Shipyard" job in the El Jefe tier.

Armor:

Guerrilla Squad - 34 defense - dropped from the "Supply the FRG with Some Extra Muscle" job in the El Padrino tier.

Vehicles:

Armored State Car - 38 defense - dropped from the "Storm the Presidential Palace" job in the El Padrino tier. This is no better than the Private Jet on defense, but it does also have quite a bit of attack (30) and can be a bit easier to get.

Private Jet - 38 Defense - Dropped from jobs and fights
Description: This item has a chance to drop from the "Make a deal with the Mexican Cartel" job in Mafia Wars. If you want more defense, work on replacing your town cars with Private Jets by doing this job over and over again. The drop rate on this item is not good, so be sure you are a Master Boss before collecting it - mastering a tier gives items a +10% drop rate!

3. Put points in Defense

Even if you have a full Mafia with all the best equipment, if you have no points in defense, you will still lose fights to high-end players. One easy way to get points is to do the collections; several of these, such as the ties and rings, will add a good bit of defense to your stats. One point in defense for every level you have will set you up to be above-average when it comes to getting attacked. Additionally, use your godfather points from leveling up for stats, and put those in defense if you feel like you are still getting killed too easily.


Summary

By filling up your mafia, collecting the best defensive weapons, armor, and vehicles, and by putting some points in defense, you can be sure to cut down on your losses in the future! Selengkapnya...
