----

RESPECT level bonuses..

 

You can get the gifts if your mafia fulfilling your gift request by sending you some Respect or Disrespect.

 

* Items are the same as the previous Gift Safe Houses.

* Each gift of respect gives you a +10% to your respect meter for level 0, and +5% each level thereafter.

* Each gift of disrespect gives you -5% to your respect meter.

* Everytime your meter reaches 100%, you gain a level of respect.

Zynga has give us the option of changing our Mafia Wars Character finally. You are no long stuck with the type of character you chose when you fist started playing the game. Your options are......

 

The Mogul character type has increased cash flow with cash coming in every 54 minutes instead of every hour. A mogul is also the only character type that can be a Top Mafia Bagman. If assigned to be a Top Mafia Bagman in a friend's mafia you have the chance to earn double the money from performing jobs.

 

The Maniac character type has increased energy regeneration with a new energy point being awarded every 3 minutes instead of every 5 minutes. A maniac is also the only character type that can be a Top Mafia Button man. If assigned to be a Top Mafia Button man in a friend's mafia you have the chance to automatically win any fight that you initiate.

 

The Fearless character type has increased health regeneration. A Fearless character is also the only character type that can be a Top Mafia Wheelman. If assigned to be a Top Mafia Wheelman in a friend's mafia you have the chance to complete jobs without spending any energy.

 

Also note, if you change your character, and are in someones top mafia you will lose that position as you may no longer be qualified for it.

 

Chose wisely, it will cost you 15 Godfather points to change..

 

 

this will be interesting since im expecting MW players to go maniac because russia and bangkok jobs consume alot of energy..

 

what im trying to say is, check your top mafia -- they might change characters and you won't get max bonus

Bangkok Tip:

 

In NY, remember all those Blackmail Photos and Computer Setups that you needed? Well, in Bangkok you need consumables too. But what if I told you that if you had picked Triads over Yakuza, or Yakuza over Triads you wouldn’t need the consumables. I’m about to tell you which side to pick for each chapter so you can avoid spending some of your precious consumables (You will need lots of pirates and satellite phones for the last episode so hopefully this will help!) This message is a bit long, but worth it!

 

I recommend you save this and refer to it as you enter a new episode/chapter. These are only my recommendations. You play your game! Money is an issue so after I finished the first level of Episode 3, I went back to Episode 1 and 2 and sold all the required inventory for those jobs. I don’t know why I waited to do that because each episode has different required inventory—meaning , what you use in episode 1, you will not use in episode 3.

 

I’ll start with recommendations first and then below all these are the reasons. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

 

 

 

 

SUMMARY:

In Episode 1 and 2, it doesn’t matter which side you choose. None of the loot pieces are that great.

 

Episode 3

Ch 2-doesn’t matter

Ch 3-Always pick Yakuza

 

Episode 4

Ch 2-doesn’t matter

Ch 3-Pick Triads

 

Episode 5a

Ch 2- Pick Yakuza

Ch 3-Pick Yakuza

 

Episode 5b

Ch 2- Pick Yakuza

Ch 3-Pick Yakuza

 

 

 

REASONS:

 

Episode 3:

Chapter 2- There is no real advantage to choosing one side over the other here. Note that the "Hijack a Boat Load of Electronics" job will need to be repeated for consumables down the line, so consider finalizing the choice with your lowest faction. This job drops the Satellite Phone.

 

Chapter 3-The "Offload The Cars Onto A Waiting Barge" job is Triad-only and costs 1 Satellite Phone, while the Yakuza-only version does not require a consumable. As a result, you always want to pick Yakuza in Episode 3, Chapter 3. There is no reason to pick Triad for this section.

 

 

Episode 4:

 

Chapter 2- It makes no difference whether you pick Triad or Yakuza here; either way you are going to be using drug shipments.

 

Chapter 3- By siding with the Triads you can get out of spending satellite phones. None of the loot is worthwhile here so that is a non-factor.

 

 

Episode 5a:

 

Chapter 2- Don't be fooled by the stats on the Kage Jet; it is the same as an Armored State Car which has little value on the market. Siding with the Triads here costs extra drug shipments for the "Frame An Enemy For The Murder" job, so pick Yakuza.

 

Chapter 3- The "Gather More Evidence Of A Betrayal" job drops the Yakuza-only Tanto (weapon; 43 attack, 28 defense). This item is tied with the Ubijca Assault Rifle (from Moscow Episode 5) as the best in slot weapon. Pick Yakuza.

The "Spread Distrust Among the Yakuza Families" job drops the Triad-only Optical Camo Suit (armor; 43 attack, 26 defense).

 

Conclusion: The Optical Camo Suit is garbage; the Shturmovik from Episode 4 of Moscow has 2 more attack points. Pick Yakuza here.

 

 

Episode 5b:

 

Chapter 2-Note that the Yakuza job drops a good item you will want but the Triad job does not cost a pirate. If you are short on pirates, consider picking Triad until the final time through the tier, and then switch over to Yakuza to give yourself permanent access to the Yakuza-only Lloyds Spectre. If you have plenty of Pirates, just pick Yakuza every time.

 

Chapter 3-The Monk's Robe (Triad) is garbage and the Cleaver (Yakuza) is not. Furthermore, there is no difference in consumables between Yakuza and Triad. Opt for Yakuza every time here

Nice. Those are pretty useful information. :cool:

[Pipe]

update 1: MW will limit the mystery gifts to 5 a day? i haven't clocked it yet to prove it..

 

tip: when sending RESPECT GIFTS, click the SEND GIFT multiple times until the next page loads -- it will send multiple gifts to your friend

[Pipe]

tip to finish bangkok.. (and home to TOP MAFIA - DISABLED -- be a fan of this page in FB)

 

http://topmafia.info/forum/index.php?topic=3612.0

 

 

satellite phones are bangkok's version of New York's BMP's..

that site will tell you how much loots you have to buy and how many consumables you will need

 

it would be advisable to run the pirate and drug shipment business..

they are also consumable as the sat phones

 

happy looting

wickedly useful tips pipe! and i got 6GF pts as well.

 

sana lang maalala ko yung tips. laking tulong nga sa efficiency.

[Pipe]

good to know you got free GF points mga bossing!!! hehe.

 

 

on respect gifts.. i thought may bagong loots na ibibigay after level 6..

see post above or http://manilatonight.com/index.php?s=&...t&p=7267716

turns out, no new loots or no additional ghillie suits..

 

that multiple clicks on the send gifts button -- will send multiple gifts to your friend, still works..

 

 

boss labuyo,

that site (http://topmafia.info/forum/index.php?topic=3612.0) is useful in bangkok.. esp on how many sat phones you will need per chapter and which faction to go para less energy consumed..

 

 

 

one very valuable tip:

when using your energy pack, you can notice that before leveling up, you have alot of energy to spare.. right?

instead of doing the job with the highest energy requirement, do this instead..

 

go to NEW YORK - JOBS - ENFORCER tab.. and fight agostino cleto..

needs this amount of energy and yields this much XP's for the next level..

and the money you will get is a big help for the money achievements

 

if you have concerns sa health (fighting mr cleto will damage you),

there are 10 health packs, 10 shivs, and a getaway car..

those health pack and shivs are loot items when you re-do NY jobs

 

what i do is, i do jobs or fight until there are 5xp's left to level up..

then i confront mr cleto.. just make sure you have full health and do it quick..

been doing this for quite a while now.. no lose situation here

Edited March 2, 2010 by Pipe

[Labuyo]

ako mababa ang EQ ko kaya pinatulan ko na lang yung character type change. from mogul to maniac.

para mas mabilis ang energy regen. then palit na lang ulit once i feel the need to.

[Pipe]

maniac means more energy..

more energy means more jobs..

more jobs means more loot drops (consumables and weapons)

and may also mean, faster level up

 

i too have switched to maniac

[brian]

I've been a Maniac even before I played Mafia Wars.

[Pipe]

boss labuyo, boss brian and other MW players..

 

pa - post naman ng current stats nyo

ehe.

[Jongkers]

Sa wakas, isa na rin akong Maniac gaya nina master bubuy and Idol Labuyo. :thumbsupsmiley:

[Labuyo]

may Mafia Wars profile (Sun Yat Sensei)

 

syempre kinailangang magpaka-tutoo. mahirap pigilan ang likas na ka-maniac-an pero iba pa din ang aso

 

ewan ko lang how the ability to change charcter class would affect my top mafia.

 

question: ako lang ba ang nakakapansin na hindi na nagbibigay ng GF pts every time you level-up? parang every other level-up na lang ako nagkaka-GF pts e.

[bubuy]

more than two months na ata ganyan di ba?

sa fearless, yan ang tanong..

pero im sure its cool to have a high-leveled fearless na friend sa top mafia.

so kung fearless ka (like me), walang masama kung magst-stay ka instead of changing it.

 

ganun din sa karamihan. hindi every level-up nagbibigay ng GF pts.

masyado kasing madali if so.

[Labuyo]

LOL mogul pa din ako

 

baka naman he wasn't exclusively referring to mafia wars

more than two months na ata ganyan di ba?

parang mas matagal ko na yatang napapansin. ngayon ko lang nireklamo. akala ko karma lang sa pag-gamit natin nung mga 'cheats' dati

 

 

sa fearless, yan ang tanong..

pero im sure its cool to have a high-leveled fearless na friend sa top mafia.

so kung fearless ka (like me), walang masama kung magst-stay ka instead of changing it.

medyo hassle lang kasi for me (as a matter of personal preference) na puro fights. ayaw ko naman (nang) gumamit ng applet (attackX)

so i'm pretty happy with being able to do more jobs.

now if they allowed the moguls a shorter time for the regen of their businesses, then i might be tempted to change back

 

ganun din sa karamihan. hindi every level-up nagbibigay ng GF pts.

masyado kasing madali if so.

i guess it does make sense. ganun nga talaga ang style para mas ma-hook ang mga adik.

 

ako ang eventual goal ko is to make enough Baht to buy 501 of all the yakuza and triad items from the faction store.

[Pipe]

cool name eh
