Mafia Wars Sundown

Collector's Edition Items - Tattoo Enthusiast

This week's Collector's Edition item is a henchman Tattoo Enthusiast. The henchman has 403 attack 337 defense and bonus +6 Energy and available for 46 reward points in the marketplace. It seems Zynga is into tattoo stuff lately, last week collector's item was bodysuit which is t-shirt with tattoo arts all over it. Also a month ago, an item from Limited Time Collection in Japan, a Japanese Tattoo Master.

Anyway, he looks kinda cool and tough, so I bought one for myself this time.

Limited Time Property 60: Retro Arcade - Crazy Driver

The 60th Limited Time Property is available today. Construction time for the property is available for the next 16 days to get the maximum level 15. During this event every time you upgrade the property you will get small number of construction parts and certain % energy/stamina refill.

Crazy Driver

301386

If you can complete the construction up to level 15 within this limited time event, you will get an exclusive item of vehicle Crazy Driver with 301 attack and 386 defense. As for the best available item you can build in the property on level 15 is an armor Wrist Play 298 attack 347 defense and bonus +6 attack.

Siege Leagues 7

The 7th  Season of Siege Leagues is available now. The grandprize item is linked incorrectly, so I could not tell what is the item for this season. I have messaged couple family's godfather, but they have not replied or seem not going to reply at all *sigh* I will look around try to get more info about the reward item. One of many mafia wars fansites probably have the complete info about it.

Stat Card Stakes 58: Royal Requirements - Continuity Announcer

The 58th Stat Card Stakes is available for play now. The free draws are available from jobbing, fighting and robbing every 2 hours for a maximum 3 draws per day. The event will run for 10 days, so get the full benefits by looting all possible free draws daily to boost up your stats. If you plan to master the event, you are aiming at a Grand Prize of henchman Continuity Announcer with 449 attack and 449 defense which is consider quite high attack/defense item currently.

Safesmith 7 - Stinger Tank

The 7th Safesmith is available for play today. The Grand Prize is a vehicle called Stinger Tank of 450 attack and 422 defense with bonus of +60 skill points. As usual you will get 2 free lockpicks per day, 1 from job loot and 1 from fight loot, however on this first day of the event the free lockpicks are not available. Another error on this event that I notice is that the info says the event will run for 17 days but the counter definitely counting down from 15 hours 59 minutes.

Hopefully there are no more hiccups during the event and we are getting our daily free lockpicks for the rest of the remaining days.

Collector's Edition Items - Bodysuit

The Collector's Edition item for this week is available for sale in the marketplace. It's an armor called Bodysuit of 336 attack 402 defense and bonus +6 attack points. At first sight this item reminds me of body art tattoos on yakuza member. This item would really be cool if exist for sale in real life. I bet a lot of people willing to buy it for decent price. The color of the fabric that matches the skin will be great for tricking people, makes the tattoos art will look like the real tattoos on our bodies.

I wonder why Zynga never produce and sell any of the in-game item in real life, because I think some of the items are of great design.

[Re-Open] Secret District 44: Rigged Operation

The 44th Secret District is available again today. This is an old secret district that is re-open for pay to play, the cost is 27 reward points if you have never done it or start from the beginning tier (bronze). The district is located in Brazil, so you will be needing some Brazilian Real (BRL) currency to do jobs that required cash. The Grand Prize for defeating the district boss, Tias Lima, is a henchman Roughneck with stats of 399 attack and 329 defense on its Ruby grade mastery. As for getting the district mastery reward you need to defeat the boss and master all jobs in the district. And then you will be rewarded a district mastery item of animal Australasian Osprey with 301 attack and 402 defense for Ruby grade mastery.

The consumable used in this district is Tranquilizer Dart that you need for some jobs and also can be used for boss fight. There are 4 loot items available in this district, one of them is considered very rare because of its very low drop rate.

 [ will add more info and images once I get into the district ] 

Killer Instinct 16 - Flamingo Tongue Snail

The 16th Killer Instinct is available today. The grand prize for the event is an animal Flamingo Tongue Snail of Ruby grade with 409 attack and 328 defense. All the rules are still the same, if you need some reminder you can find more info on my post of the 14th Killer Instinct event.

The stat on grand prize reward of different grades are shown on the image below:

VIP Exclusive Mission Event: Tourney Domination

A VIP Exclusive Mission event is available today. I do not have VIP access, so I do not have more information on the event. I will try to get some info from the VIP user.

Japan District 8, 9 & 10

The last 3 districts in Japan are now available. The new city store items for the jobs are also purchaseable in the city store. New city loots with exact image & name but different tag (Job Loot tag) are also available for jobbing in these 3 new districts. There a few more additions to the game, I will write more about it as soon as possible.

Collector's Edition Items - Inklusive

If you are a collector, I bet you have been waiting for friday event... yeah that's right Collector's Edition Items promo. For this friday we hava a weapon called Inklusive, 335 attack 401 defense and +10 Stamina points bonus on it. This would be a great addition to your collection, and the bonus points are quite useful too for you as a fighter.

I say Zynga should give all collectors some appreciation once awhile for their loyalty buying the collector's items every week. Maybe by creating a new Collector's Appreciation event and rewarding a collector that has a set of collector's items. Perhaps new achievement(s) that can be completed by accumulating certain numbers of different collector's items.

Loot Lottery St. Patricks - Great Crested Grebe

Loot Lottery St. Patricks themed is available today. The loot items you need to collect that counts toward your progression can be obtained from  St. Patricks Loot Trunk  and  Skill Bag deals . This loot trunk has 8 new released items available as random loot. I think the loot trunk and and skill deals are quite good bargains, for 15 reward points you can get a loot item (from the trunk) or a minimum of 11 energy points (from the skill bag). If you are looking for items to add your mafia attack/defense or just want to buy some skill points, this is one of the best chance for you... though you have to remember the skills you get are random.

If you planning to get the mastery item, you need to collect 5 target items and 3 skills deals and you will be rewarded with an animal Great Crested Grebe of 432 attack 432 defense and added bonus 40 skill points.

Arena Conquest 6

The 6th Arena Conquest is here today. The best item is a defense armor called Sorceress' Gift of 319 attack and 446 defense that you can get by exchanging 31000 insignias on the first day and up to 51000 insignias on the last (5th) day. Here is the complete list of available rewards and their insignia costs:

Frenzy Sale: Irish Pride - Green June Beetle

A Frenzy Sale marketplace sale is available today. It is in the spirit of St. Patrick's Day celebration, so you should expect to see a lot of green things these days. And get your fighting gear ready, we will have Arena Conquest tomorrow.

7 Day Deal: Rampant Revelry

A new offer of 7 day deal is available today. The items are all greenish, yeah that's right... it's themed St. Patrick's Day. Pretty nice looking images for the items but quite expensive if you aiming for the skill points. And if you are in it for the attack/defense points, get ready to get disappointed in less than month, they will be outdated and surpassed by other new items in the marketplace or even free loot drops.

The seven new greenish released items are as follows:

Volcano Crates

Volcano Crates are now available for sale in the marketplace.
I was wondering how did Zynga come up with the idea of Volcano Crates. There's no big volcano eruption around or no exciting news about any volcanoes.

Anyway if you plan to get them, I would suggest wait till there is a discount or other marketplace promo. I am pretty sure we will soon have more marketplace promo in the near future.

Lucky Break 15

The 15th Lucky Break is available for play today. This is a 5 days ask-request event. You started with a stack of specific card number and you need to get other card numbers to make a set and turn it in to get an item of the day with 3 different grades available. You can collect 5 of each grade per day, for a total of 15 pieces per day. Each day different item is being released, so for the duration of the event you can collect for the maximum of 75 loot pieces of 15 items (5 items of 3 grades).

Challenge Mission 32: Brazil - Trickle-Down Economics

The 32nd Challenge Mission is available today. We are going back to Brazil to do the mission and have 9 days to complete all 3 chapters. The consumable needed for this mission is called Globe Smasher.

By the way today is the last day for Urban Assault, so try to get it done as much as possible in the last hours of the event.

Nothing new in this event just same boss different loots, different required ammos but same basic rules and requirements.

I will put up images of the loots once the event is done.

Stat Card Stakes 57: Good Sport - Shock Block

The 57th Stat Card Stake is now available for free draw looting session. The rules still hasn't changed, so if you are not familiar yet with this event go search for keyword or label Stat Card Stake. Actually just click that word, I made it easier for you. You can only loot 3 free draws per day for the next 10 days. These 30 draws can be redeemed for 30 cards, which I am prety sure you will be getting lots duplicate cards hence you need to buy some more if you intent to complete the event. If you manage to complete it, you will be rewarded with a Grand Prize of armor item Shock Block with 445 attack and 445 defense and some skill points.

Collector's Edition Items - Air Hound

We got so many events currently running. But don't worry, Zynga would never miss to put up any marketplace promo. And every Friday we always have a new collector's item, so for this week is an airplane called Air Hound. This item has 333 attack and 399 defense with added bonus +6 energy points. Look at the front tip of the airplane, now you know why they named it Air Hound.

Limited Time Collection: Journey To The Top Collection - Japanese Tattoo Master

Journey To The Top Collection is now available on the collection page. This is the first Limited Time Collection event for Japan city. To vault the collection you need to collect 7 items from 7 available japan disctricts. You can vault it for the maximum of 10 times in the duration of 10 days. Each item will drop only once per day, so if you missed one item on a specific day you will also miss a chance to vault it.

Lucky Streak 23 - Unipropellor

Lucky Streak event is available for play today. This would be the 23rd runs of Lucky Streak. As usual you will get one free spin each day that will also expired the same day if you forgot to use it. So be sure to login, and use your free spin to get your free item. The Grand Prize for completing this event is a vehicle airplane named Unipropellor with 508 attack and 458 defense at its best Ruby grade mastery. Pretty high attack and defense and of course pretty hard to get also. You need to collect all 12 different items from all new 20 available loot items in this lucky streak. I am not sure how much reward points you will need to achieve that, but I am pretty sure it would be a lot!!

Arena Smashup 17

The 17th Arena Smashup is available today. Along with Heist and Urban Assault, I would say this is a good complement event. You can use your energy in Heist missions and objectives then spend the rest of your stamina in the Arena. And you can also do some energy based or stamina based tasks in Urban Assault and do the remaining energy or stamina on Heist or Arena respectively. Anyway you do it, you shoud try to find a way to keep leveling while doing all these available events today. The exp ratio on Heist is quite good and the Urban Assault provides bonus experiences when you completed Reward Stations.

The best reward item in this Arena Smashup required 75 arena tokens. It is a weapon called Shadow Assassin with 428 attack 378 defense and bonus 7 skill points. If you can be a rank 1 for three days, you will get enough token to exchange one of that Shadow Assassins.

Urban Assault 17: Deceptive Intentions - Paradise Flycatcher

The 17th Urban Assault is available now and it is based in Brazil, though the tasks are to be done in all over available cities. The best reward is an animal Paradise Flycatcher with 398 attack and 453 defense that you can get by completing all mission stations and reward stations in this urban assault event.

There are a few tasks that can be done at once, mostly arena related task where you need to get some ices, kills or accumulate damages. I will try to get all the tasks opened as soon as possible, before I can write more about this event here.

Heist 2: High Stakes Gamble

The second run of Heist is available today. In this heist we are going to Mexico City to steal from the biggest casino in that city. You are going in with three specialists: Mr. Techno, Mr. Dynamite and Ms. Sly to steal from the 12 inch vault door, 3 floor below the main building of that casino.

For this heist you will be needing Poker Chip as training ammo and Operation Plan as heist ammo. Poker Chip can be looted from Recon Mission as a 100% loot drop, 

 

while Operation Plan will drop from Training Mission by a small chance. If you need more information about how to play this heist, you can read the First Heist on this blog. Search by the label Heist or here is the direct link to it: Heist: One For The Record.

Frenzy Sale: Wild Hunt - Jungle Stalker

A marketplace promo known as Frenzy Sale is available today. The theme is Wild Jungle and of course the items available with this event is Jungle related items. There are 2 rewards in this event: one is for completing the mastery bar up to Ruby level and another one is a bonus reward for staying at Zone '4' challenge. Mastering the event is pretty simple by buying certain number of Limited Edition items as shown on the image above. And the challenge is to move the Frenzy Meter to zone 4 and stay there for a duration of time. Moving the meter can be done by frequently buying marketplace items, and as the meter rise up you also get more additional discount on LE loots and skill points added to the regular discount on the marketplace promo.

Craftmania 12 - Fire Chief

The 12th Craftmania event is available today. For this Craftmania, you need to build a total 15 items, 5 level 15 items from 3 different properties: Lingerie Store, Festive Cabin, and Aquarium. The Grand Prize for completing this event is a henchman Fire Chief with 419 attack and 307 defense.

The event runs for 15 days, so you have plenty time to complete it even if you missed building them for couple days. You can build 1 from each properties every day that means you need a maximum of only 5 days to get this done, provided that you have fully upgraded those 3 properties. For those of you, including me, that have not fully upgraded or missed those Limited Properties, this would be a second chance to pick up where you left off and upgrade it all the way to level 15.

Job Board 16 - Railway Station Guard

A Job Board event is available today and will be running for the next 5 days. This would be a jobber activity because the loot item, Fire Cannon, that you need to collect is dropping from jobs in Los Angeles city.

You need to have a good pool of energy and the ability of serial leveling. If you cannot serial leveling you can forget about getting any of the grand prize reward. Talking about the grand prize rewards, you can get 2 items in this event. One is from being the top 3 rank in the Global Job Board and one is from your Family Job Board. So, if you are not good enough to be the best 3 looters in the whole world of mafia wars then you can get a chance to get reward by being the top 3 leader in you Family Job Board.

Collector's Edition Items - Pediatrician

It's Friday... It's Collector's Edition Items day!

This week we have a henchman item Pediatrician that comes with 332 attack 398 defense and bonus +6 attack. I am kind of confused, isn't pediatrician specialize in taking care of children and infants? but why the image shows she is holding an animal... or is it a stuffed animal? perhaps the latter.
