FB Mafia Wars Support Group (Page 64)

Once you get past the first couple of levels what can you sell for BHAT? What do I need to keep hold of?

If you look at most of the Bangkok levels, you only use the stuff you buy in a level in THAT level.  Generally speaking.  You can safely sell everything from levels 1, 2, 4, 5 I believe...no idea on the later two levels.  Save whatever you need in Level 3 to do the job that loots you Satellite phones since you will likely have to do that job a lot.

Finally got enough dough to buy the stuff in the finale of Chapter 7 round 2.  Will finish that tonight probably and on to round 3!

Of course I'll probably need to sell one or two of my kids to get enough baht to finish that round off.

Oh, and I am frickin' tired of getting iced/whacked.  I went from almost never getting attacked to barely being able to put facebook on without seeing my points knocked down to nothing.  I have to bank money immediately when I get it, even if my health is below 20 because I keep getting attacked!  What is the point of having 500+ mafia when you still get your azz kicked??  And what is up with these people with 300 mafia having over 80,000 attack and defense??

I know people cheat.  Our friend's husband started playing after us and already is close to 3 times our level with 90k+ attack and defense.  I think his wife said he has a computer program that runs his things constantly and he is always leveling up accordingly.  Total BS.

I

I seem to do OK on the iced/whacked front as long as I fight my health down IMMEDIATELY upon getting into FB.  With the new fighting set up I can see that as soon as someone gets on the list they get HAMMERED.  That new option to attack 5 times in a row with one click I think is kinda bad news.  I have a hard time finding anyone to attack that is still alive.  I've been trying not to bank my money to save the 7%, but I will probably just go back to banking.  The internet here is slow and I can get killed in a hurry before I even have time to click a button.

There are computer programs that run your stuff?  WTF is the fun of that?  And I just don't see how it would help...I mean, you still have to time the leveling up correctly to make the most of it...there are many times I have to sit there and wait for my energy to fill up a bit so I can level up.  I guess you can set a program up to do that for you....but then are you even really playing?????

I have 320 mafia and my attack/defense is only in the 40k range.  I put a lot of points into attack/defense though I do not believe that is what helps that the most.  I think the power or your weapons and such helps the most.  I haven't reached a point in the game where I can solely work on getting better weapons...that comes after finishing Bangkok which is going to take awhile!

Okay, I stumbled upon an extra Heart Tatoo...I recall that being the difficult one of the Valentine's Day Collection to get...who needs it?

Heh, that's about the only one I don't need.

Monday I will complete NY almost done with my last job. So where to next? I've started Bangkok and Cuba first level on each.

I guess it just depends if you want to go in "order" or get good stuff.

I would DEFINITELY do enough Bangkok to fully upgrade all of the Baht businesses and open up the "stuff" businesses.  Then maybe just collect on the businesses while doing Cuba.  Cuba isn't that long.  But by doing that you will build up more than the Baht you need to do Bangkok.  If you start Bangkok you are likely just to get frustrated and run out of Baht....even though the rewards for finishing levels are pretty good!

What about Moscow?  Or will you do that after Cuba?

Finally finished Episode 6 of Bangkok!  Now, I have to plow through Episode 7 (I'm almost done level 2); however, I am out of Baht already, even though I sold all of the stuff from episode 6.

I really hope Las Vegas doesn't have money problems like Bangkok!!!

Since NY uses dollars already I wonder what they will do in LV??

I am on Chapter 2 of level 3 of Assasin.  Still need another 400k baht to get the cars to do the last job on that level.  Then on to Chapter 3 where I'm sure I'll need another 5 billion baht.

I also just realized that when you fight you get a lot more kick azz loot then you used to.  I'm going back to fighting again instead of always robbing to get my stats up.

Interesting....Google has invested in Zynga and is getting ready to launch Google Games:

I think Cuba should be next, all the while upgrading the Moscow/Bangkok businesses so you'll have cash rolling in for both by the time you knock out Cuba.  That's how I did it, and I'm now in Moscow with $4+ billion.  Bangkok will be next & I'm already near $4mil with weeks to go before I jump into that city.

I've got 6/7 of the Vegas collection.  Just need the Liberty Bell to finish it off.

Anyone get in yet??  I've tried twice with no luck.  Still only have around 25 chip containers so only at 5% chance of getting in.

I'm not in yet, either; however, I've only tried once.

Also, can someone send me the orange for the Vegas collection?  I'm surprised I haven't been gifted it by a whole bunch of people yet.  After that, I only need the Liberty Bell.

Thanks, Lance, for sending me the orange!!

Cuba goes pretty fast, too.  Lot's of good jobs in there that pay nearly twice the experience.  Start upgrading your politico corrupto's as quickly as you can (and put them on your wishlist and we can give you a bunch - I seriously have almost 2000 and I gave my nephew a bunch of them).  

Thanks, I have the 4 basic businesses fully upgraded in Bangkok and have 6.6 M Baht in the bank I was tinkering with it when it first opened and decided to go back and finish NY. I did the same with Cuba and Moscow I have all the Businesses fully upgraded and have been collecting for some time. I have 2700 politico corrupto's. It sounds like I should go do Cuba next so I guess that's the plan. How many politicos will I need?

You'll be fine with that kind of headstart. 
If you want to really get through there - and you have aligned enough skill points to energy - then you will find a break point where you know you have to switch - though they made this harder by making settle a beef in NY cost 36 points in return for 73 as it used to be 35 points with a return oif 74 or 226 xp for 105 cost - meaning you could get 2260 experience for 1050 energy - it has been reduced to 222 for 108 or 2220 for 1080 - you do this.
Do cuba jobs until your break point - depending on your level, it will most likely be about halfway.  Then switch to NY and just do Settle A Beef.  You will level up and start again.  if you get the math down you can do this as an endless cycle up until level 450 or so - maybe longer.  The key is that you need to take all of your skill points and put them back into energy as the amount of energy goes up each time you level up.  My nephew only started playing in February and we did this with him.  He is done with all cities except Bangkok and he is in the Oyabun level.  He cakewalked through Cuba and most of Moscow.  I think he is in the low 600 level now.  His mother hates me. 

I looked today and I have at least one of everything in that collection...so put what you need on your wishlist and I can send it your way....

Wow...I have obviously been doing something wrong then....I never reliably level up like that.  Silly me kept doing whatever jobs I had not done yet....I'm guessing this only works if you started early?

 I'm hoping it's something that you can access the NYC money, losing a set percentage much like when you bank money, and that percentage going down after certain jobs are done..

but I"m biased since I"m rolling in cash for NYC

I just need a lucky number 7 to vault my first ever random collection. I know fate will curse me and I will not get it... just watch.

I don't have an extra of that one, but I've got cherries, limes, & triple bars if anyone needs them.

Sent.  Enjoy.

I have a few other random items from the collection....put 'em on your wishlist if you're interested!

All I've got left to vault is the Bangkok flowers & the Daily Chance collections.
