Facebook Myspace Mafia Wars Cheats Myspace Facebook

I like many other facebook or myspace users who like playing the game Mafia Wars have found an addictive and stimulating little game which helps build friendships and a sense of community in the form of helping out with jobs and also swapping crucial items within the game. When starting out it is very difficult to get going because everything is new and where to start to gain a solid footing in Mafia Wars can be very difficult, so people like myself resort to searching for mafia wars cheats through the various search engines to gain a good headstart when first playing the game.

Having searched for mafia wars cheats myself ive discovered there is no real quick fix cheats available only carefully planned strategies to put in place when first choosing the right type of mafia characteristic, starting to do jobs, building your mafia family, effectively using energy, best thing to spend godfather points on and so on.

When first playing mafia wars there is a chance to choose which mafia characteristic you would like, these come in three forms mogul which make money faster, maniacs who recovery energy faster and fearless who regain health quickly.

Since the game is entirely based around energy for doing jobs to build cash reserves and for fast experience gaining to level up quicker. The best one to choose when starting out would be the Maniacs characteristic for quicker energy gain.

MAFIA FRIENDS

Relationships are important for future jobs and for begging for weapons and gaining important items. The very best way to build friends is to visit the groups section and search for mafia wars, loads of mafia wars family building group pages appear and simply joining and placing a polite "add me, please" message on the groups wall will help grow your mafia family.

JOBS

When you first start out you are in New York the jobs are very scarce and some require certain weapons to be bought from the inventory section to actually do the jobs so gaining some cash at first to buy weapons is important, there are two ways to do this either start fights which helps build your bank balance and experience for levelling (will need a mafia family of 10 or more for better chance of winning and will need to spend cash to regain health at the hospital), do the job increaser method ie do the mugging job till you have enough to buy crow bar, do cornerstore hold up till you got enough cash to buy .45 calibur pistol and so on this again builds your bank balance and experience points for levelling.

Any cash you dont spend always put it in the bank this will prevent enemy mafia wars members fighting you in fights and taking your hard earned cash from you.

SPENDING CASH

In the early stages it is best to spend your hard earned cash from jobs in the inventory on weapons, body armour and vehicles this helps to increase the defense and attack attributes of your whole gang and enables you to take on gangs that have more family members than you in fights taking more cash and experience and dealing bigger damage to them.

Note only buy 500 of each item because past this point your defense and attack attributes no longer increase, so its a waste of money, also dont bother buying the speed boats as these are no benefit to you whatsoever.

LEVELLING AND PROFILE POINTS

Every time you level up your mafia wars character attributes refill fully and you gain 5 profile points to strengthen the statistics of your mafia wars character, you can add points to the six different attributes, Attack, Defense, Health, Energy, Stamina and Influence. At the beginning it is recommended to spend all the 5 profile points from levelling on the energy attribute to help you perform more jobs each level therefore gaining cash and experience to help levelling quicker.

Also you will notice when levelling more jobs become available for each level stage you are at e.g between levels 1-4 only street thug jobs are available and 5-8 associate jobs and so on, In each job section each job has a blue levelling bar (three levels in total), once the blue bar is full that job level is reached and your are awarded a profile point. The best way to spend the points from completed jobs levels is on either strengthening your attack or defense attributes, this will help in fights and also when you are being attacked in defense.

As you play through Mafia Wars you will see that many jobs and achievements will give you valuable profile points, experience, weapons, items and most important the cash to buy available weapons and equipment to strengthen your mafia family.

GODFATHER POINTS

Now Godfather Points are very useful, you will notice at the beginning that you will have some Godfather points to spend, well the best way to spend these points is to fully replenish your energy bar when exhausted which costs 10 Godfather points, the other items are just little luxuries which you may or may not want to purchase at a later date.

Notice you will gain 1 Godfather point for every two levels you gain, just save these up to 10 points and replenish your energy for faster levelling capabilites.

ENERGY PACKS

Every 23 hours you are usually sent an energy pack from your Mafia Family this will replenish the energy bar and add 25% to your energy attribute and is best to use when you have exhausted all your energy and stamina and still need 200 or more experience points in order to level up.

COLLECTIONS & VAULTS ALSO BEGGING

In the Mafia Wars game is Collections and Vault which is in the inventory section, this is another great way to gain energy advantages and again more items are available to collect as you continue to level up. In this area you will find various items to collect and vault which give you various benefits for example collecting and vaulting the diamond flush collection for the first time will give you 1 energy point and if you were to collect and revault again you would gain tripwires to help in defense, you can gain these items through loot that are found at jobs or if youve built a sizeable mafia family then you can send item request out and hopefully your kind mafia family will send them to you for free.

Note at the beginning it is best to try and vault collections that give you job energy loss discounts such as the heart flush collection this will give you +5 health the first time you vault and -3 job energy costs when you revault the collection, Others to look out for later on are the club flush collection, the cigars collection, the rings collection and the great horses collection. Others will become available to you once you have access to the Cuba and Moscow scenarios.

THE BIG TIP FOR NEW YORK JOBS

The most important item in the New York Job scenario and the rarerist to get hold of is the 'untraceable mobile phone', you will notice that jobs in Capo job levels and above will require you to have this item to partake in one or two of the jobs and you will need loads of this item to successfully master the job levels. The only place you can get hold of 'untraceable mobile phones' is to do the 'Rob an Electronic Store' job in the Enforcer job level and whats worse is you have a 1 in 3 chance of successfully obtaining one each time you do the job. So my tip would be to waste several levels of job energy doing the 'Rob an Electronic Store' job and build up your 'untraceable mobile phone' stash to help with later jobs that require them and also doing this job will build up your stash of 'Concealable Camera' and 'Computer Set-Up'
