When leveling up rapidly is your number one objective, concentrating on Mafia Wars jobs is an safe, solid strategy.  I say safe because fights and robbing will get you leveled up fast too, but you’ll probably end up on the hitlist or getting attacked a bunch yourself.  Jobs won’t earn you a crowd of vengeance-mad victims the way that fighting and robbery can.

Leveling juice (aka, experience points!) isn’t the only thing jobs deliver.  Money and loot are also results of doin’ the job.  Job loot can help you in equipping your mafia members.  It could be a weapon, armor, or a vehicle in the loot drop.  Completing collections is accomplished through jobs, as well, because loot drops will occasionally have special items.  Consider the money a way to purchase more Mafia Mike’s so that you can upkeep all that new equipment, and jobs will have positioned you perfectly to dominate Mafia Wars.

Don’t forget you’ll get skill points each time you “master” any job and job tier.  Those will also help  strengthen you as a character.  Energy is the category to put those points if you want to do mostly jobs and level that way.  If leveling isn’t your main goal, distributing those skill points into attack and defense and stamina is another choice.

The first job tier in Mafia Wars is Street thug, so let’s examine that for our discussion.  The job tiers are linked with certain levels, also.  At level 1 thru 4, Street Thug is the tier.  Boss tier – the highest tier in the New York City Mafia Wars venue – is related to players in level 100+. The jobs in Street Thug tier are as follows (including job ratio): Mugging (1); Corner Store Hold-Up (1); Warehouse Robbery (1); Auto Theft (1.14); Beat Up Rival Gangster (1); Rob A Pimp (1); Collect On A Loan (1).

As a raw beginner, these are the jobs you’ll do 1st.  You can proceed to the next tier before you’ve mastered every job in the tier 1x, but you can’t get all the mastery titles. Essentially, a tier is designed for a character with specific achieved level and mastery of the preceding tier.  But you can work any job tier if you have the right level.  Tiers are composed of more demanding jobs as you advance in the tiers.

Every job in Street Thug tier will need to be mastered by you.  Begin with Auto Theft to get in the habit of choosing the highest Mafia Wars jobs ratio!  You’ll do the Auto Theft job repeatedly to master it.  You’ll see a blue bar that shows how you’re progressing in mastering the job.  When you’ve mastered Auto Theft, it will be a solid blue bar.  Once you’ve mastered the given job, you’ll receive a skill point.

Repeat the job mastery process on all the jobs in the tier and you’ll have mastered the tier for the first time.  You get  skill point and a title to place with your Mafia Wars name.  You are now “Street Thug YourMWName.”

Don’t done with those jobs|put all the jobs out of your mind] once you’ve mastered a tier!  Some jobs will yield smokin’ hot loot, experience, or cash.  You can do gravy jobs even when you’ve leveled up beyond the tier and earned mastery of it.  Unless you need the .22 pistol, 9mm, or a Diamond card, Street Thug tier is a bit thin on yummy loot, but you understand my point about revisiting jobs.

Getting mastery for each job a 2nd time is worth the energy.  The reward for your mastery is eight more skill points to distribute, a “Skilled Street Thug” title, and a five percent increase in the loot drop for jobs in the thug tier.

Grin and bear it in order to master every job for the third time and you’ll get additional skill points and the top title for the tier, “Master Street Thug Don Default.”  You’ll also get 10% extra loot in the Street thug tier.  And the real gravy – you earn 5% experience bonus for any Street Thug job you do after mastery.

You’ll also get the bonus item for 3rd tier mastery.  For Street Thug, the bonus item is the Pistol Bayonet that escalates the damage you can deliver in Mafia Wars fights by 4%.  Mastery bonus items are usually pretty excellent.

A final appeal to your smarts: If you master every NY job tiers, you’ll receive a total of 219 Mafia Wars skill points.  Very nice!
