Mafia Wars Robbing is BackFirst off… if you, like me have been chilled out about your properties and taking the lovely steady income from properties for granted, prepare to be upset. Robbing is back!!! And, like the New York properties page, it has had a bit of an overhaul (presumably why it was away in the first place).

1) How to get to Robbing: Check out this screenshot on the right (click to enlarge). Click on the Fight Button from the Information Bar at the top of the Mafia Wars page (notice the wee yellow speech bubble bouncing playfully above the Fight button? If the answer is no, you’re either not in New York (in Mafia Wars) or are reading this a significant amount of time in the future). Notice beneath the Mafia Fight Strength information bar the second option has been enabled and is entitled “Robbing”. Click here. You are presented with a selection of properties to rob, the strength of the Mafia who own them and the stamina required to rob each property (the number next to the little handgun pic). There is also a relative difficulty indicator (hard (red), medium (orange) or easy (green)) above the individual properties. If you think your Mafia can take their Mafia, then click the red “Rob” button beneath the property you want to rob. If you want to refresh this list, click the Get New Targets button at the top left hand side of the Mafia Wars Robbing window (this will cost you 9 stamina points, though). See the image to the right (click to enlarge)

2) What do I need to fight? Well Robbing uses stamina points but can be rather more lucrative than attacking weaker individuals randomly. You’ll need a decent Mafia. It’s in your interests now to grow your Mafia family for this reason. Different properties require different numbers of Mafia to help you. The bigger your Mafia, the more likely you are to have the high level crew to win every time. You’ll need loads of weapons, armour, vehicles, boosts and relevant loot drops to give your Mafia the edge.

The outcomes:

Successful Mafia Wars Robbing

If you lose, Zynga say:

Why did I lose?
Your robbing score is determined by your attack skill plus the combined attack strength of one weapon, armor, and vehicle item for each mafia member that you bring to fight.
You can get better at robbing by:

* Growing your mafia
* Increasing your attack skill

3) How am I doing? Notice the progress indicator in the top right hand side of the robbing window. You start at level 1 and have to complete 10 successful robberies to progress.

4) Damage limitation from people robbing my properties: Be sure to collect income from your properties regularly and pay attention to when your more lucrative properties such as your mega casinos or uptown hotels are due to pay out. This income will be sapped if you leave it too long as it will be ripe for robbing.

That’s all for now. I’ll try to make time to write a more detailed guide if I think it’s necessary once I’ve got to grips with the new system myself.

Good luck!

Luckys Pot of Gold - prizes to be won in Mafia Wars Have you managed to Steal Lucky’s Pot of Gold?
At the time of writing, you have 1 day and 7 hours left to get a chance to win a variety of “prizes”.

To complete this Mafia Wars Challenge you need to purchase 7 mystery items (changing daily). You need to find and follow a trail of clovers to be sure and if you follow the trail correctly and buy the correct items (look for the clover next to each item)… well read the Mafia Wars Lucky’s Pot of Gold Challenge Instructions below:

Steal Lucky’s Pot O’Gold
Find the 7 mystery items needed to steal Lucky’s Pot O’Gold. The necessary items will change daily and you can find them by following Lucky’s trail of clovers. If you purchase the right items, you will be rewarded with a special discount. You will have through March 24, 2010 to find all 7 items; if you succeed you will have a chance at winning a variety of prizes with the grand prize being 100 Reward Points!

So you’d better stock up on Godfather points. Assuming you don’t have an “organic” collection of points you can purchase more Godfather Points through the Mafia Wars Marketplace using Paypal or a credit card. Please “gamble” responsibly ;)

Good luck.

Sorry if this is old news (undoubtedly it is since St Paddy’s day was almost a week ago) but a quick post on the St. Patrick’s Day Collection (more to get me up to speed again)… if you’re still looking for the St Patrick Day Collection items, these items can be collected in particular jobs (e.g. Irish Flag, Green Fireworks, Leprechaun, Green Bowler’s Cap) from fights (Lucky Pint Glass and the Pot of Gold) and as gifts from your loyal or not-so loyal mafia family (Uilleann Pipes). As with all of these Mafia Wars seasonal collections, they won’t last too much longer so the more you play the more likely you are to find all of the items before they’re gone. If you miss out, don’t fret laddie/lassie, the treasure chests or mystery bags may give you additional chances to grab these fine Emerald Isle items.

Saint Patrick's Day Mafia Wars Collection

Happy hunting.

Think you’ve got it bad? Check out my collection so far :(

… Dammit. So what’s been going on in Mafia Wars land? From the glimpses we caught earlier, it looks as though we’re going to have to change the images all over the site. And we’ll do it for you lovely readers, too. Hope you appreciate us as much as we appreciate you.

While we’re waiting for the Zynga-magicians to do their thing and get Mafia Wars back online at Facebook , here’s some music.

Love us.

Well… we’ve done our time for icing one too many made men and we’re back on the streets.  And boy have the streets changed.  We’ll need a little time to re-adjust but we’re nothing if not resilient.  So lock up your Mega Casinos because we… like robbing (word on the street) are baaaack.
