- When trading with someone; look at their Mafia Wars profile. See what their most consecutive days played are; how many fights they have been in and wars they have won. All these help establish whether or not the player has been active or not. Rip off artists tend to use their account lightly or are an account that has just been set-up. You may be able to fake leveling up; but it is hard to fake fight counts and wars. Hence don't trade with someone with a low fight/win count unless you absolutely trust them.
- Wanna get 200 high-end weapons and other loot? You know the daily lotto collection items? The ones you can only get buy playing the daily lotto. Those items are typically very rare and hard to get. Hence if you have a double of one those items (bingo card, roulette table and etc.) there are people in the game willing to trade up to 200 high end loot items for just one daily lotto collection item. That’s just one way to get lots of powerful weapons, armor and/or vehicles.
When purchasing the "weekly sale" item that sells for $10 000, tend to stay away from weapons; and look more towards those items that are a vehicle type. Why is that? Because it is easier to loot weapons (and in some cases armor as well), but much more difficult to loot vehicles. Anything above 10 in attack and 11 defense points on a vehicle and you are doing better than average.
So how are some people able to get 501 of high end loot in a small amount of time (without buying them of course)? Although not condoned and a violation of Zynga's policy; some players have multiple accounts. Considering how easy it is to set-up a free e-mail account and another Facebook account and I’m sure you get the idea, right? Basically each e-mail you setup becomes a new account; remember that you take the risk of losing it all if you get caught!
- Early on in the game, at lower levels. If you have a big enough mafia, you can typically ask for any weapon, armor or vehicle and have a small chance of getting. However, to get the most out of it, I would typically ask for the semi-high end loot, (2nd or 3rd rate weapons) that although they are still not as high in attack/defense as the highest end loot, will still give me a high total point value if you have 501 Mafia. For example, instead of asking for an armored state car, try asking for a Montaine 320 instead. Most high level players probably won't mind, since they probably aren't using it anyways! Then again, I would ask for high end loot once in a while. You never know, unless you ask!
You can trade (if you have a large enough mafia) for things when you need to. For example, you can offer one high end loot item (currently TNT, State Car or Track Loader) for ten politico Corruptos, ten Untraceable Cell phones and etc. Many people are willing to make a deal to move ahead in the game.
If you have money and choose to; you can actually purchase high end loot from certain people. Zynga deems this a violation of their terms; however, they exist and have yet to be shutdown. Is it worth it? Well, in option of purchasing GF points, yes; since the GF crates and weapons are typically weaker than most high end loot. Also, you know what you need and don't have to guess as to what you'll get from a crate.
If at first you don't get gifts; try gifting someone else instead! Chances are high they will try and re-gift you back! Plus, it all adds up to getting that achievement (2 of them) and the extra skill points. You would be surprised how many times I have sent 10 blackmail photos to someone and got back a Track loader! Sometimes, it’s just that easy; and in the future, it sets it up for more trading!
-
Don't waste collection items re-vaulting them; the boosts are hopeless, as they get used up at the most useless times. Instead use them for trading and giving to your other Mafia members. Remember, if you give; chances are you will get back. So update your Wishlist while you are at it!
