Looking for a few "Mafia Wars" tips? Although "Mafia Wars" is most popular on Facebook, it is available on several other websites, too, such as Myspace and Yahoo. This multiplayer game is also available in the form of an application for the iPhone and Google Chrome. "Mafia Wars" was developed and published by Zynga and over 40 million people throughout the world play it. Below you will find a few "Mafia Wars" tips that should help you advance your criminal empire.

  1. Boost your Energy. One of the best ways to advance yourself in "Mafia Wars" is to place your points into energy. You will want to continue to do this until your energy reaches the 200 mark. You may end up with a stronger character if you put your points into defense and attack in the beginning, but you will find that it is much more difficult to power level.
  2. How to Bank. As you probably know, you have to pay a ten percent fee to place your money in the bank in "Mafia Wars". That means that you should keep all of your money on you until you reach level 51. The purpose for doing that is the fact that even if you lose a few fights, you will still save yourself money when compared to the bank fee, as the most you can loose in a fight is $100,000.
  3. Buy Properties in Blocks. If you are buying property in "Mafia Wars", one of the best tips you will receive is to purchase those properties in blocks of ten. You are going to save yourself a lot of money by doing that, because every time you purchase a property, the cost of other similar properties goes up.
  4. Random Loot. Doing jobs in "Mafia Wars" is one of the best ways to earn money. When you are looking around for jobs, keep an eye out for ones that advertise rare items as possible payment. If you can pick up some random loot on one of your jobs, you will be in for a nice payday.
  5. Win/Loss Record. One of the best "Mafia Wars" tips you will receive is to check the win/loss record of other players. Even though a player may be at a higher level than you, if they have a bad win/loss record, chances are you will be able to defeat them. If you can, stay away from players with a high percentage of wins, as they will be very difficult to defeat.
