5 Tips from Bob

6. Complete MASTER BOSS first

If you are able then complete the Master Boss job before any other jobs as this gives you double energy for for certain periods, it will give you the gold throne but no title until you complete all other jobs.
Do not chase the new collections as the rewards are not worth the energy to chase - just use your spare energy as you can bit by bit or by doing swaps for the items.

The Energy Regeneration (Golden Throne) works out to:

Mogul/Fearless = 288 per 24 hours
Maniac = 480 per 24 hours

Therefore, a Master Boss would equal;

Mogul/Fearless = 640 per 24 hours
Maniac = 1152 per 24 hours

Once complete, you can go back and complete the 3 levels of the other jobs, but there is nothing like accelerated Energy Regeneration!

7. ( Level 50+)

You should not attempt this until you have bought some properties and amassed a small mafia family along with 1 weapon of attack, defense & vehicle per member as you need to build up your finances before you start thinking about attacking.

At minimum level 50 and above (preferably level 100+), you should be balancing your ATTACK & DEFENSE points gained. Without getting into complicated Mafia Wars math, your ATTACK points should be 2:1 versus your LEVEL and your DEFENSE points should be 1.8:1 or 1.9:1 versus your LEVEL.
Example:

If you are level 100;
ATTACK points should be 200
DEFENSE points should be 180 - 190

Keep maintaining this ratio as you continue to grow and you will have the best of both worlds, able to inflict much damage on attacks and able to defend oneself when being attacked.

8. (Top Mafia Family Members)
Ever wonder how the Top Mafia works when either you assign someone to a position or you have been assigned by a fellow mafia member?

Assign your best mafia members to positions within your mafia. Each position has a unique bonus which can be greater depending on who gets promoted to that position.

Mastermind – Choose a member with many jobs completed to promote to Mastermind to get more experience points from doing jobs. Your Mastermind gains a small chance of gaining 50% more experience when performing jobs.

Wheelman – Choose a member with the Fearless character type and a high level to promote to Wheelman to get a reduced energy cost for jobs. Your Wheelman gains a small chance to perform jobs for no energy.

Button Man – Choose a member with the Maniac character type and a high level to promote to Button Man to get an Attack bonus. Your Button Man gains a small chance to always win fights they initiate.

Bodyguard – Choose a member with many fights won to promote to Bodyguard to get a Defense bonus. Your Bodyguard gains a small chance to always win fights when they are attacked.

Safecracker – Choose a member with many successful heists to promote to Safecracker to get more money from fighting and robbing. Your Safecracker gains a small chance to gain double the money when fighting or robbing.

Bagman – Choose a member with the Mogul character type and a high level to promote to Bagman to get more money from jobs. Your Bagman gains a small chance to gain double the money when performing jobs.

5 Tips





1. Grow your Mafia Family

The more family members your mafia has, the stronger you are. The first and ultimately most important key to advancing is to keep the mob family growing. This can be done in a couple of ways:

  • You can invite all your friends in your friend list.
  • You can go to mafia add me pages on facebook and display your profile and mafia link there.



2. Use Godfather Points Strategically

With each level up, you earn get 5 skill points from the Godfather. These can be used to increase a variety of attributes, such as attack, defense, energy and more. Where to apply these points depends on your startegy.

  • Knocking off rivals and going for kills: to be able to do this you have to increase your attack, defence and stamina attributes. This allows you to knock off other mobs and engage in more fights while staying strong yourself.
  • Money Accumulation: this strategy requires putting most skill points into the energy level. Energy enables you to do more jobs, thus acquiring more money.



3.Use Godfather Limited edition Loot to get your Mafia well equipped

  • Limited Edition Loot is the best way to equipp you mafia faster and cheaper, it costs you anly 10,000 $ per piece.To do this you must grow you mafia constantly ( addiing members everyday )



4.How to advance faster ?


If you want to pass levels faster you got to do this:

  • Use godfather skill points to increase energy
  • Hit only the jobs that give you more experience and take less energy.



5.How to avoid being robbed ?

  • Don't buy expensive properties, especially when you are in low level, the best investment is to buy MAFIA MIKE's, because they are cheaper, and also cannot be robbed.
  • Increase your defence, by buying equipment that gives more defence or hitting jobs that give you loot items who have more defensive attributes like bodyguards, private jets, falsified documents etc ( you have the list in the inventory page ) , and use Godfather Points to increase your defence attibutes, "defence" is also very important in fights,more than "attack" because of a simple reason that you must remember " YOU CAN CHOOSE WHO TO ATTACK, BUT YOU CANNOT CHOOSE WHO WILL ATTACK YOU"
