This is an extension of Mafia Wars - Playing Tips (It appears that the hosting site freezes the story once they approve it) The future of these tips will be that there will be a consolidation of Mafia Wars and most of the other “skins” that the designer is releasing. (For my money, which they aren’t getting much of, they are diluting a very strong concept with all these variations. Nothing like greed to dilute a good thing.) It will be called Mafia Wars et al Tips 1, (2 , 3, if necessary)

1. Loot - Some loot can be obtained by doing jobs but the critical, higher value ones are only obtained through fights—Bodyguard, Napalm, RPG launcher, .50 Caliber Rifle, Night Vision Goggles, Armored Car and Armored Truck, to name a few of the better units.
2. New Interface - Right in the middle of writing this, the new interface popped up so some information is easier to locate now.  The news file that they show will explain most of the changes. They have made some adjustments to the play which will reduce some of the controls that the bigger players use such as you can only go on the Hitlist one at a time. Some of the winnings you get in fights have been capped.
3. Screen Refreshing - the new version doesn’t rewrite the same way as previously so it may appear nothing has happened. You need to read the numbers to determine what changed.
4. Bank - The bank button is very small next to cash in the upper left.
5. Hospital - The hospital button is very small under the Health tab.
6. Loot - The information on loot is found in the Inventory tab.
7. Hitlist - The list is now found under the Fight tab. No more multiple hits by one player.
8. Energy Boost - This is now available only once every 24 hours and is accessed on the home page at the very bottom where you also find news updates.
9. Boss Fights - Use Stun Gun, then Shiv. Use the Health Kit if you have lost some health. Only use the Getaway if you are in danger of falling below minimum health. You only need to fight each Boss once. The only reason to repeat is that you may have a lot of consumables that you may want to use up. Generally, they are only usable in Boss fights. The exception is the getaway car but that will be replaced by better vehicles that you can get in Fights.
10. Offensive and Defensive Weapons - You do not have to choose which weapons you would like to use. The game automatically does that for you no matter which mode you are in (attacker or defender).
11. Elite and z players - Having not reached that level yet, I can only speculate that it has something to do with numbers of Jobs won, etc. In both cases you will see that these numbers are quite high. Unless you are in one of these categories, it is not wise to fight them. You will be visiting the hospital, and possibly more than once, if they decide to target you repeatedly.
12. Transferring Money to Other Players - I have not found a way that you can do this.
13. Mike’s Bar - In order to buy this property you must have the money but also the minimum number of team members required. It goes up each time you buy it. If you need more players, you need to recruit Facebook friends or accumulate 20 reward points. (Every 2 Level ups=1 reward point or buy them. You can also go through the promotions list- see the Godfather page. I do not take part in the promotions page which lead to spam emails. I’ll leave that up to you to decide if you want to take part.)
14. Bank - You cannot buy most things in Mafia Wars if your money is in the bank. You must withdraw it prior to making a purchase. Only do so prior to the transaction and preferably when you are injured and can’t fight. Your money is not exposed to attacks at that time. It is also a good time to do Jobs.You can heal in the Hospital with money in the bank. You do not need to withdraw it.
