When leveling up quick is your primary goal, focusing on Mafia Wars jobs is an safe, solid approach. I say safe because fights and robbing will get you leveled up quick too, but you’ll doubtless end up on the hitlist or getting attacked a lot yourself. Revenge is not a worry when you are pursuing jobs to earn your leveling experience points.
Experience isn’t the only thing you’ll receive from making jobs your primary leveling tool. Loot drops and cash come from jobs, also. The loot is often something that will make possible you to equip your growing crew. It could be a weapon, armor, or a vehicle in the loot drop. Completing collections is done through jobs, too, because loot drops will sometimes have special items. Since completing jobs is also a fantastic way to start your cash rollin’ too, it’s jobs that give you a powerful platform for Mafia Wars profile maximization.
Mastering a job and a tier will also get you those skill points. Skill points are the life blood of your character building effort. If you’re primarily concerned with leveling, you’ll direct those points into energy. Otherwise, you could use them to reinforce any of your personal stats that seem to be deficient.
Everyone starts Mafia Wars in the Street Thug job tier. Each job tier is connected with a certain set of Mafia Wars levels. When you’re in level 1-4, Street Thug is your intended tier. When you get to level 100+, you’ll be, theoretically, ready to master the Boss tier in NYC Mafia Wars. The job roster of Street Thug looks like this (job ratio in parenthesis): Mugging (1); Corner Store Hold-Up (1); Warehouse Robbery (1); Auto Theft (1.14); Beat Up Rival Gangster (1); Rob A Pimp (1); Collect On A Loan (1).
When you start out, these are your job picks that match your new character’s abilities. You are effective this tier until you master each Street Thug job if you want to earn all the mastery titles for the next tiers. As a rule, a tier is designed for a character with specific achieved level and mastery of the previous tier. But you can work any job tier if you have the right level. You’ll learn the job tiers get more hard – demanding prep jobs, consumables, and crew help - as you go up the tiers.
Getting back to our example, you’ll plot to master each job in the Street Thug tier. Get in the habit of selecting the peak Mafia Wars jobs ratio straight away by selecting Auto Theft! Prepare to do the Auto Theft job over and over. You’ll see a blue bar that indicates how you’re doing in mastering the job. It will gradually fill as you repeat Auto Theft until it is 100% blue and you’ve refined mastery of that job. A skill point will be added to your balance when you’ve mastered a job.
Once you’ve got every job in the tier mastered, you’ll have completed the initially mastery cycle for that tier. With mastery comes a skill point and a fancy-smancy title. In this example, you’d earn “Street Thug Don Default.”
Although you’ve mastered a tier, you ought to continue to work those jobs. There are certain jobs that have very desirable loot drops, ratios, and cash. Particular jobs are value revisiting even though you’ve leveled out of the tier and mastered it. Admittedly, Street Thug tier isn’t packed with prime loot – unless you want that .22 pistol, the 9mm semi-automatic, or a Diamond card!
It’s not pointless to master each job in Street Thug for a second time. You earn more skill points, a second title “Skilled Street Thug Don Default,” and five percent increase in the loot drops for the jobs in the Street Thug tier.
The 3rd time through mastery of Street Thug and you become “Master Street Thug,” with even more skill points. And 10% additional job loot. Best of all, you get five percent experience bonus for any the jobs you do in Street Thug henceforth.
There’s additional reward for bothering with mastery of the tier 3x’s – the bonus item. In Street Thug tier, you get a Pistol Bayonet that increases the hurt you dish out in a Mafia Wars fight by 4%. You’ll learn that the mastery bonus items are some of the best items you can earn in Mafia Wars.
Consider this: Doing every NYC job to the triple level of mastery will result in 219 skill points by the time you end Boss in Mafia Wars! Very nice!
