Re:Big Job Update

 * Bagman bonus has been reduced to 11%. That has been confirmed. Yes it seems they tweaked the exp, at least I noticed for Boss level in NY. [[file:greenbeer.gif|Mafia Wars Wiki Admin]] Da Irish Kid 15:44, January 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * It seems jobs in NY are now -3 Exp from what the articles state now. Confirmed on Boss and Consigliere. [[file:greenbeer.gif|Mafia Wars Wiki Admin]] Da Irish Kid 15:51, January 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Weird, Edricteo said his jobs still payout normally exp wise. Must be a bug or something? [[file:greenbeer.gif|Mafia Wars Wiki Admin]] Da Irish Kid 15:55, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Since now the data for job help request is almost complete, is it possible to work out the formula of the exp gain?

I have found a mistake on this, and on Blofeld´s, page.

The Pain & Suffering are NOT administrator or developer loot. It was simply some loot that you could buy in some Crates (called Developer Crates), back when Cuba just had opened.Most. Most players did not buy those Crates, because 25 Godfather points where too much for 1 pice of loot, and they had other things to use their Godfather points on. Things like Energy. Around that time, we could also put al things on our wish list just by using the addressbar in our browser, where we wrote a link + a code for the item that we wanted on our wish list.

This list are from that time. Look at number 184 to 188 (Pain & Suffering are number 187), those are the 4 CRATES that we could BUY. All the things that we got for completing Cuba Episodes could also be put on the wish list by using this code. But after a couple of weeksm zynga changed the way that url´s are written and changed how url´s work in the game, and from that time the code has not worked.

Ps. I got the Pain & Suffering. I got 11 of them. So I know where they are from. And their stats are 46 attack + 16 defense.

Updates

 * Straighteed out Respect Safehouse, and added Chop Shop items to the Wishlist Adder. I didn't really touch the Chop Shop article. Also I did some extensive research and found nothing at all about the "Developer Crate" that [MF'n DB's] HOLYDEVIL was referring to. I've checked various sources, including a few old time players, and they do not recall such items. Not sure if you can dig up some info verifying/debunking the message that [MF'n DB's] HOLYDEVIL left.? [[file:greenbeer.gif|Mafia Wars Wiki Admin]] Da Irish Kid 05:47, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

NY Properties Upgrade: Additional Calculation Needed
Hi Owed,

Thanks for posting the formula for calculating NY property upgrade costs.

Will you mind adding the following formula to your post, please?

Why the add?

While your formula is perfect for those who have not mastered the NY Enforcer tier, it needs an adjustment for those who have mastered the tier.

If a player mastered the NY Enforcer tier, they receive a 5% property discount on the base price of a property plus a 5% discount on the upgrade price.

Upgrade Cost = (Base Cost – (Base Cost X .05)) + (Current Building Level X (Extra Cost per Upgrade – (Extra Cost per Upgrade X .05))

Example for player who mastered Enforcer tier: If a Tenement is currently at level 100, the cost to upgrade it to level 101 from level 100 would be:

Upgrade Cost = ($250,000 – ($250,000 X .05)) + (100 X ($20,000 – ($20,000 X .05)) = $2,137,500

Thanks for your time,

Jay &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jmaitri (talk &bull; contribs) at 16:10, February 23, 2010 (UTC).

NY Properties: More Stuff
You're welcome, Owed!

To save players with some number crunching on the formula I sent, here’s a listing of costs less the 5% property reduction for mastering the Enforcer tier:

All players have to do is plug these values into your formula.

Using your tenement example: Upgrade cost = $237,500 + (100 X $19,000) = $2,137,500

Flophouse: Base Cost = $14,250; Extra Cost per Upgrade = $950 Pawnshop: Base Cost = $33,250; Extra Cost per Upgrade = $2,850 Tenement: Base Cost = $237,500; Extra Cost per Upgrade = $19,000 Warehouse: Base Cost = $427,500; Extra Cost per Upgrade = $19,000 Restaurant: Base Cost = $522,500; Extra Cost per Upgrade = $47,500 Dockyard: Base Cost = $8,550,000; Extra Cost per Upgrade = $475,000 Office Park: Base Cost = $16,150,000; Extra Cost per Upgrade = $1,520,000 Uptown Hotel: Base Cost = $22,800,000; Extra Cost per Upgrade = $1,900,000 Mega Casino: Base Cost = $38,950,000; Extra Cost per Upgrade = $3,800,000 &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jmaitri (talk &bull; contribs) at 16:43, February 23, 2010 (UTC).

Respect Safehouse Gifts
Hey Owed.. I was trying to add the "Stuffed Turkey to the gifts on the page..but I'm not very good at editing here. I tried to copy the format that was already being used.. but it looks kind of jumbled at the moment. I think if you go there.. you can see what I was trying to do and can hopefully fix it and possibly instruct me as to how to properly edit it in the future. BTW, how do you request an Add me?

Questions
I have a few more questions for you. I was looking at the Loyal Fan page here, and I was curious as to how you become a loyal fan. I see that we are supposed to receive godfather points from time to time for being a loyal fan but I've never seen one of those messages even though I've "Become a fan". Also.. if you are curious, I have some of the links for some free godfather points:

NY properties calculator
Hi!

I wrote a calculator for NY properties that tells you which properties you should buy based on the best ROI. Maybe you want to add a link to the Properties page. I didn't want to edit the page, because I don't know if it's welcome to add links.

Editing Wiki
LOL, to be honest, all I did was copied and pasted what was already there, and tried adding in my own stuff. I don't really know much about the editing. For example, on the Bodyguards section. I tried editing it to show that it becomes available in the Free Gifts section as of Level 30, but I'm not sure how to add it to the 'events' section. I see what you did with the Stuffed Turkey, but I'm not sure how to drop down a line, or even make a whole new page for that matter. I was going to add in the Deadly Car Bomb until I saw someone added it in. I figured there'd be a page for each of the free gift collection items as well, but there wasn't. No big whoop. Any advice is much helpful thats for sure. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Windrazor (talk &bull; contribs) at 09:18, March 4, 2010 (UTC).

I have a question you may be able to help me with...
I have over 5600 members in my mafia and when I try to add someone new, (such as I just tried to add you with the message attached farthest below), it gives me this message: Sorry, you cannot add any more friends or fan more pages without removing some first. Can you direct me on how to fix this or get past it.

Thanks.

Please add me as a friend and I will do the same, then add me to your MAFIA WARS, and together we can grow to become a strong and powerful empire!!! Tell your friends to do the same.

Collection Titles
In Titles you made a bold edit.

Adding you to MW
Hey Owed.. just wanted to say thanks for helping me with editing pages.

I looked at your Profile page, and it said something about requesting to add you to MW, but I don't see a link to your profile.

Also, I saw with these new Animals Unleashed, that you added a few things that came from jobs in New York. Do you know if you can get the animals from jobs in other cities as well?

RE: Parser issue
Hi Owed. I have very little experience with parser stuff, so I'd recommend you ask about this issue at the Community Central forums. A lot of wiki tech-savvy people watch those forums and help people out. Alternatively, you could use the Contact Wikia link at the bottom of any page (below the spotlight images) which sends a message to the Community Team, who will also be able to help find a solution.

Problem with strength
My attack strength is 26,000 and when I attack someone with defence 19,000 - 25,000 I always lose!

Is there handicap in Mafia Wars???

Answer: fights also depend on number of mafia members in your family (i have about 300 and thats about 40k att strenght).

I strongly advise you to expand your family by at least 150 persons. It also depends on luck, the higher your opponent is (lvl), the more chance you have to gain a boost of 'luck', since you have less chance on winning the fight without anything.

And most importantly, your attack lvl (which can be upgraded with skill points; seen on profile page) is very important. This should be about the same as your lvl, if you're not really a fighter, but you want to withhold some attacks and want to win some fights sometimes.
