1. Start making money straight away. If you want to master the game, you have to start somewhere, and that is with regular Mafia jobs. You need to take on as many jobs as you can early in the game so you can earn some quick cash and get a better understanding of how the game works. You have to understand that cash is king in Mafia Wars, and the more money you earn the more power you will have. Try to hold off on doing anything that will hurt your money situation, as you need to build up a nice amount to level up easier in the game.

2. Be a good family man. If money is the most important thing in Mafia Wars, your family is a close second. You need to also build up a strong and loyal Mafia family if you are to level up and dominate the game. To do this you need to be good to your people. If you treat them well, they will in turn protect you and defend your property against attacks. This is crucial to your success. Without a strong and loyal family, you’re on your own, which means you’re an easy target for your rivals to just squash.

3. Purchase the best equipment for your family. One crucial way for you to be good to your family is to purchase the best equipment for them. By getting the best weapons, vehicles and armor for you and your family, it means you are able to better defend your family from attack, and at the same time be able to go on the attack against your rivals. Some of the equipment is only available at certain levels, but you should always be trying to purchase the new equipment, especially weapons, when they become available.

4. Make smart investment decisions. You don’t want to be doing regular Mafia jobs if you want to dominate the game. To continue to grow your money you need to make sound investment decisions. You can start off with smaller items to invest in, but as you level up and earn more money, you should be looking at investing in larger properties as these are the big money earners.

If you’re serious about dominating your rivals and mastering Mafia Wars, these 4 simple but deadly tips are essential to your success. Use them now, and you will be way ahead of the competition.

Your energy levels are essential to you advancing through the game. Without energy you aren’t able to do a lot in the game. If you have more energy you will be able to do more jobs, which leads to more money, more experience points and an easy path to the next level. When you do advance to the next level, you gain extra skill points that you can then use to improve your character. Spend these skill points on increasing your maximum energy. This is crucial.

Another easy way of leveling up is to focus on doing jobs that will give you the most experience points for the least amount of energy required. You’ll always be getting a fair amount of cash for each job, so the experience points are the thing you need to look at next. By getting more experience points faster, you will be able to level up a lot faster as well.

To earn even more experience points easily and to help you level up quickly, you should also promote a top Mastermind as soon as you can. This will allow you to get omre experience points for each job you do if you have the right person in that position. You should also get a good Wheelman which will let you complete more jobs as it will require less energy. Be sure to choose high quality players for these positions as their ability will have an impact on how well you do. This all means that you will be getting more experience points from the jobs you do, which then means it’s a lot easier to level up.

One final thing you need to watch out for to gain experience points and to level up is to not fight until you know you will win. Fight against rivals you know you will beat. You gain experience points for winning fights, but you can also lose experience points if you are snuffed in a fight. Not to mention that you can also get robbed. Fight against rivals that are smaller and have less powerful weapons than you do. Pick fights that you will win, and you will be able to level up quicker as well.

Leveling up quickly depends largely on your experience points, among other aspects. Moving to the next level provides you with great benefits, so by following these easy tips you will be able to gain a lot more experience points quickly, which means you will easy and quickly level up without any problems.

How To Level Up The Easy Way In Mafia Wars is a post from: Mafia Wars Help and Tips guide to Mafia Wars

We all start out the same; we end up getting stuck not know where to go next, having to damn near beg people to join your family, and then constantly getting those begs thrown back into your face with denials to join. But you know what, it’s also possible to have other people beg you to join your family, then build up a family in no time at all, and start calling the shots.

If you want to get there, then follow these steps.

The first thing you need to do to start dominating Mafia Wars is to work your butt off. Work like your life depended on it, because it kind of does. Work like you’ve got some dudes chasing you with a gun ready to take you down unless you work harder, because that’s kind of what’s going on. Work hard and make as much money as you can as quickly as you can. This is crucial to your success; you need money. Money is everything in this game; if you don’t have money, you don’t have anything.

The second thing you need to understand is to treat your family well. If you treat them well, they will treat you well. spend your money on them, buy them the proper armour, vehicles and weapons so they can defend yourself and defend you. If they can’t defend themselves, it’s your fault for not being able to provide them good quality weapons. If you take good care of your family, your reputation will get around, and then you’ll have so many people begging you to join your family, you’re going to have to turn some of them down.

The third important thing you need to remember is to invest your money wisely. Invest as much of your money as you can, but not just anywhere. Invest in the items and properties that will give you a bigger reward. You won’t be able to invest in the big properties initially, that’s why you have to work your way up. Get some money by working, then invest in the smaller things first. When you get your returns from them, that’s when you start investing like the big players.

These 3 steps will build your status up quickly from the new guy to the godfather in no time. But you need to do these things consistently if you’re serious about dominating Mafia Wars and leveling up quickly.

Crush Mafia Wars The Easy Way: 3 Tips To Take You To The Top is a post from: Mafia Wars Help and Tips guide to Mafia Wars

Think you don’t need bodyguards, think again. There are really two main reasons you need them to succeed in Mafia Wars. First they are essential to completing your jobs later on in the game, if you make it that far. If you reach level 25 -34 you will need the services of at least 2 bodyguards to help you finish the job in Capo tier.

Before you even reach anything close to that level though, you need bodyguards to boost your defenses. To even get to that type of level, you’re going to face some enemies on your way. A good defense system means you’ve got a better chance of getting rid of your enemies before they beat you up and teach you a lesson. Your bodyguards will be your first line of defense against the enemies you will face. Without them, you’re on your own and you won’t last long.

One of the most common ways of getting a bodyguard is to complete the “Protect Your City Against A Rival Family” job in the Hitman stage. It is a random loot item so you will need to keep completing the jobs until you get what you’re after.

Another way you can get more bodyguards protecting you is to actually receive them as gifts from other high level players. Don’t waste your time messing around with players that are inactive, they won’t do anything for you. High level players are the ones who are loaded with useful loot items. They’ve got so many that they’ll give them away, if you’re good to them, and one of the items they can give you is a bodyguard. But the key to this is to help them out and to give them gifts first. They need a reason to give you something. Be good to them first, and they will reciprocate the giving.

There is another way of getting bodyguards on your side, but I don’t recommend it for those still in the initial stages of the game. This involves getting bodyguards as random dropped items in fights. If you’re still in the early stages of the game, you shouldn’t be fighting. You don’t have enough energy, not enough strength in your family (if you even have one) and you don’t have the right equipment. Don’t think you can just start out by kicking some butt. It doesn’t work like that. This will get you straight on to the Fight List, where higher level players who are far more powerful and experienced than you will rob you, snuff you and knock you out. You need to increase your energy points by working and building yourself and your family up before you can begin fighting frequently. That’s when the real bodyguards will come running your way.

Next thing you know, you’ve got a strong army of loyal bodyguards who will do anything for you. That’s when you know you’re dominating the game and have become a Godfather.

The Secrets You Need To Know To Having Strong And Loyal Bodyguards In Mafia Wars is a post from: Mafia Wars Help and Tips guide to Mafia Wars

Now obviously there are many ways of achieving these two primary objectives, such as attacking rival Mafia gangs, investing your money into large properties, and defending your territory with the strongest weapons available.

One thing you need to keep in mind is that everybody who is serious about Mafia Wars is trying to achieve the same objectives, but in their own way. This is why you need an edge against your rivals. Use these 8 tips to your advantage, and gain the edge you need over your competitors to dominate and win in Mafia Wars.

1. Recruit strong players into your Mafia family by joining groups on Facebook, forums and message boards around the net dedicated to Mafia Wars. You’ll be able to spot the active players who actually know what they’re doing, and recruit them into your family.

2. Buy properties in bulk to get the most out of your investments. Earn as much money as you can at each level by doing jobs, then invest it wisely into properties that will give you a good financial return on your investment.

3. Also invest in top quality weapons. Purchase weapons that are strong enough to defend your family and properties from attack by your rivals, and to dominate them if you are the one doing the attacking. There’s no point investing in properties that will just get robbed over and over again. If you purchase large properties, defend them with strong weapons.

4. Complete all your jobs at each level. Try to complete them as quickly as you can so you will be able to unlock bonus items and earn more cash.

5. Something that is usually overlooked is to deposit your hard earned cash into a bank before it gets stolen. If you’re attacked and your cash isn’t in a bank, you’ll lose your cash, which can be potentially millions of dollars just gone. Even though there is a fee to deposit your money into a bank, it is well worth it in the big picture.

6. Stay updated on new strategies and tips so you can be ahead of the curve when it comes to Mafia Wars. Some people just play Mafia Wars for a bit of fun, others will try to learn a few tips and trick and think they can dominate, but then there are the real godfathers who learn and continue to learn about ways to really get ahead in the game. This is what you need to do if you want to get to the top of Mafia Wars.

Follow these 6 steps and continue to discover more tips and strategies, and your rivals will be left wondering how you can consistently dominate them like they’re not even there.

6 Tips To Get You To The Top Of Mafia Wars is a post from: Mafia Wars Help and Tips guide to Mafia Wars

Before you get into a fight, you should research your opponent before you attack them. To do this, just follow these 5 simple tips.

Tip 1: attack players with either the same size or a smaller Mafia as you. This is a no brainer. If your opponent has a smaller Mafia then you, you will obviously have a greater advantage over them with more members and more weapons.

Tip 2: attack players that have completed the same amount of jobs as you. Have a look at the number of jobs they have completed, which will indicate to you how strong and experienced they are. The higher the amount of jobs they have completed, the stronger their attack and defense will be.

Tip 3: attack players with a high loss to win ratio. Check out how many wins and losses your opponent has had in their fights, if they have a higher loss to win ratio, your chances of winning are significantly increased.

Tip 4: attack players that don’t have stronger weapons than you. Look at their weapons arsenal to see how many stronger weapons they have. If they have a lot of stronger weapons than you, stay away from them. If you have more stronger weapons than them, go for it.

Tip 5: if you want to rob your opponent as well, take a look at the properties they own to see how much you can actually take from them. Winning attacks will always earn you experience points without having to rob your opponent, but you can always take some money off of them anyway.

When you’ve found an opponent that you know you can beat then attack them. If you end up losing the fight, just move on to someone else. But if you do beat them up, as you should, then take full advantage of them and continue to attack them until you run out of stamina. If you’re still attacking the same opponent, but have run out of health points, you can earn more health points then continue attacking them. To do this keep the attack window open, and open a new window or tab in your browser so you can restore your health. Once your health and stamina has been restored, go back to the attack window and continue attacking them until you get bored or you lose.

After your attacks, create a list of the players you have attacked and beaten. With this you can always go back to the same players and attack them again, and probably beat them again. To do this just copy and paste the link location of the player into a document, and just paste the same link into browser when you want to attack them again.

Be careful with this strategy of repeatedly attacking the same player though. Sometimes they will seek revenge by either attacking you once they’ve grown a stronger family, or even put you on a hit list and get stronger Mafia families to attack you for them. So take advantage of your rivals, but be aware of any revenge attacks that might come your way.

5 Tips To Winning Every Single Fight You Get Into In Mafia Wars is a post from: Mafia Wars Help and Tips guide to Mafia Wars

5 things you should never do if you want to succeed in Mafia Wars are:

Don’t fight unless you know you will win

You should be looking to fight rival families as you advance throughout the game, but don’t start a fight unless you are sure you will win. Fight a family that has less members than you, and has less powerful weapons. This way you stack the odds completely in your favor. Don’t fight someone just because they robbed you, this will just waste time and resources. Take your revenge when you become bigger and more powerful, then you can take advantage of them.

Don’t buy properties unless you can protect them

As you get more money from doing jobs you should be looking to invest that money into properties. But before you invest any money you need to focus on growing your Mafia family as they will be the ones that will protect your investment from attacks. Don’t just build hotels and casinos unless you have a strong Mafia, otherwise someone will just rob you.

Don’t spend Godfather points on useless items

There will always be times when you will be tempted by different items that you will have to buy with your Godfather points. Don’t waste your points on these. They are hard to come by and are extremely valuable so hang on to your points because you will also need them later on in the game.

Don’t waste your skill points

There are many ways you can improve your character by spending your skill points. But don’t waste them on your character’s attack or defence rating. You should be spending your money on buying strong weapons and armor, which is what will increase your attack and defence rating significantly. Don’t spend your skill points in this area, it won’t be as effective as the weapons and armor you buy.

Don’t bank money unless it makes sense

Sometimes putting your money in the bank is a smart option. If you get attacked you can’t lose money if it’s in the bank. However, there is a 10% laundering fee every time you bank some cash. This is important. Calculate how much money you lose every day compared to how much that fee costs you. So if you find you’re losing 2% of your money every day, it makes no sense to bank your money and lose 10% there. Just keep it out in the open. You’ll get robbed, but you’ll lose less money than if you were safe and put it in the bank.

You have a lot of different options about the way you play Mafia Wars, but keep these 5 things in mind and you will be well on your way to great success.

5 Important Things You Should Never Do In Mafia Wars is a post from: Mafia Wars Help and Tips guide to Mafia Wars

Some of the most commonly wanted loot items are the Untraceable Cell Phone, Concealable Camera, and a wiretap device. These, and many other loot items, are accessible at different stages of the game, but there are some common strategies you can follow to get as many as you need.

The easiest way to get the concealable weapon or untraceable cell phone is to complete the “Rob an Electronics Store” job in the Enforcer tier. The job doesn’t take much to complete, which is why it’s easy, but the downside to this is that you are randomly given one of 3 loot items when you complete the job – the third being computer setups. So even if you complete the job 100 times, there’s still a chance you won’t get the item that you want. On the other hand, you can also end up with 100 concealable cameras.

Another way you can get items you need is to do a trade with other Mafia Wars players. Now obviously you need to give something up as well in order for a trade to work. What you can do is to make a post saying you need a certain item and that you will offer something fair in return. This usually works with the higher level players who no longer need what you’re looking for. This works much better if you have a larger Mafia, as you will also have a better chance of having something that the other person would want in a trade. You can also visit Mafia Wars forums and request a trade there.

Following on from the previous tip, you can also just ask other Mafia Wars players to send you a loot item as a gift. When you log in to Mafia Wars sometimes you’ll be able to see a “Send Free Gifts To Your Mafia” screen. Simply ask your Mafia members to send you something you want if they see that screen, and one of the items that is available to be given as a free gift is the Untraceable Cell Phone.

One more common way to pick up loot items is to have a fight with rival Mafia families. After you win a fight you will usually be able to pick up randomly dropped items and often you will be able to get something you need. The key to this strategy is to pick a fight with a rival who you know you can beat. Go after Mafia families that are smaller than yours, and who have less powerful weapons than you do. This will ensure you are able to beat them up easily. Once you beat them, take advantage of that and keep beating up on them. You will continue to win and be able to pick up even more dropped items. You will eventually run out of stamina or lose, and that’s when you can just move on. But while you are on top, take advantage of them as much as you can.

4 Easy Ways To Get More Loot Items In Mafia Wars is a post from: Mafia Wars Help and Tips guide to Mafia Wars

Pay for it.

This is the easiest way of getting more Godfather points, but probably the least desirable as well. You can of course simply pay cash for them. Not a lot of people will go with this option as there are other ways of getting points without having to spend any of your hard earned money. But if you are desperate and really need more points, you can get 85 Godfather points for only $20. That’s not too much money and you do get a solid upgrade in the game.

Play the daily chance.

Every time you log in to the game you are automatically given free tickets in the daily raffle. You can also get more tickets for the raffle by spending your Godfather points on buying more tickets, but it doesn’t guarantee anything. It is of course worth playing your free ticket every day though. Also don’t claim your Ticket Mastery Bonus until you’ve entered at least 6 tickets into the raffle. This is because you will be guaranteed at least 1 and as many as 5 Godfather points if you play 6 tickets.

Leveling up.

Every time you level up in Mafia Wars you get a Godfather point. These points won’t make you all that excited because it is just one point, but if you are able to level up quickly then you’ll see your Godfather points pile up rather quickly as well. This means you should follow good strategies and tips to focus on leveling up quickly, and then the Godfather points will follow.

Take some surveys.

This is the most popular way of getting more Godfather points quickly. You can fill out as many surveys as you can and you will be rewarded with a certain amount of points depending on the survey you take. There are two types of surveys; ones where you have to spend some money, and free ones. Obviously the paid ones will give you more points, but the free ones are quick and will also reward you with a good amount of points. One thing you should do for any surveys you take is to create a new email address with one of the free services like Gmail or Yahoo. Use this email only for the surveys as you will be getting a lot of spam and you don’t want that stuff to fill your regular email inbox.

Godfather points can be easy to come by. Just like anything else in Mafia Wars, you need to develop a strategy that works for you. Once you get the Godfather points though, you need to be wise with how you spend them.

4 Not So Secret Ways Of Getting More Godfather Points In Mafia Wars is a post from: Mafia Wars Help and Tips guide to Mafia Wars

Here are 4 secrets that will help you make wise decisions and level up quickly in Mafia Wars:

1. Want to level up like a maniac? Start off by playing with the maniac class and you will level up very quickly and very easily. Leveling up early is crucial to your success in the game. In maniac class you’ll be able to get energy a lot quicker than in other areas, and energy is exactly what you need to move fast. Starting off in the maniac class will set you up for success.

2. Be smart with your money. Don’t blow your hard earned money on items and properties that will not give you a reward. It’s not worth it. Spend your money elsewhere, somewhere that will actually give you some money back. Anything else doesn’t even deserve your consideration. Invest your money into properties that will give you a financial return, then reinvest that money into other areas as well. Also, invest your money into top quality weapons so you can get rid of your enemies.

3. Don’t expect to grow a mafia too early. You have to earn your reputation. You have to prove yourself first before anyone will even think about joining your family. Why would they? When you’re starting out you’re unproven and untested, why would anybody want to join your family? Earn their respect and their trust first by doing work and building yourself up through good investments, then once you’ve got a reputation as a player, that’s when your mafia will form.

4. Expose yourself too early, and you will be in trouble. Similar to the previous tip, don’t let everybody know you’re on the scene when you’re still an unproven new guy. Nobody likes a new guy making too much noise. Stay under the radar and do your work until you grow your reputation and people start recognizing you. If you’re at a lower level and you want to run with the big boys, they will beat you down so that you stay at that level.

You need to be wise in Mafia Wars. Take your time and earn your reputation. Nobody’s going to give it to you.
