Myth
There was a brief period when the type of item to be sent in a Mystery Bag was partially controlled by the gifter, in that a Free Boost, Free Rare or Free Gift was indicated at the top of the gift grid. This can be changed with multiple Refreshes of the page, however, a certain amount of persistence is required to get to the Free Rare item selection. After recent tests (2010-Jul-30), this no more applies and does not matter if you send a mystery bag from Free Gift page or from Free Rare Collection Item page. The chances to get a rare/common/boost are generic and can be from any city. An "allegedly" Free Rare turned out to be a common boost on redemption.

Nota bene: The terms Free Boost, Free Gift, and Free Rare Collection Item identify the three different Free Gift pages available in-game. On the Free Boost page, you can send boosts to you mafia; on the Free Gift page, you can send loot and consumables; and on the Free Rare Collection Item page, you can send New York Collection items.

"Mysterybagrp.jpg have more of an option of what you get in your mystery bags? Well we're going to give you just that. We're introducing the Mystery Bag Mulligan! Here's how it works - when you click on your mystery bag requests from your mafia, you'll see what surprise you got inside. Don't like it or don't happen to need it? No problem! You can use 3RP for a chance to get another mystery gift and land on something you're sure to love.

It's really that simple. Next time you open a mystery bag and get something you may not need, just try your luck again and open another bag! Be on the lookout for this new feature coming to Mafia Wars."
