Mafia Wars Rackets
Zynga has opted to change the game in a fairly major way by adding Mafia Wars rackets and removing properties. Now there are the “old” players who still have properties and the newer players who have rackets. Apparently those with properties will be given incentive to trade them in but how the transition will pan out is unknown at the time of this writing. So far, from what people are saying, they are not happy with the new system nor with how Zynga has delivered it.
What is the new Mafia Wars rackets thing anyway? For those who have played Farmville, it is similar to the time based harvesting system and basically needs baby-sat for you to collect your reward.
In Mafia Wars you need to “shake down” a racket and then collect your reward when the specific time has elapsed. If you don’t return to collect then the payout can be lost. This is time based and no listing is available yet to show you how long you have to collect, the listing in the facebook game under “Rackets-What’s This?” just says “if you don’t return promptly”.
Each racket requires influence to complete. The influence skill regenerates once per hour and does not reload when you level up.
How To Shakedown A Racket
When you click on the rackets tab you will see this:
When you start the game you can shakedown 5 rackets at one time… as long as you have enough influence. You can also “start a new business” which gives you the ability to run even more rackets at the same time. Each business you stat will cost you increasingly more money.
Click shakedown and you will be presented with this screen:
You can see some of the different Mafia Wars rackets you can shakedown. Each with it’s own cost (in influence) and time frame to completion.
Regain Your Influence And Get Your Take
You will also get the influence back that you used when you began the shake down which you can use to do another one. If your influence level is full, this will go above that level to a maximum of 125%. You can, however, lose the influence if you are too slow collecting on the shake down. As stated earlier, if you don’t return promptly you will also lose your take and the other benefits you may have received from the shake down.
Like jobs, rackets have mastery levels. When you master a racket you get access to better rackets. Initially the rackets don’t pay much, but once you have reached 100% mastery you will find the rackets pay better.
It’s not as bleak as it may seem, mastering all the Mafia Wars rackets can increase the payout quite nicely.
Example:
Customs Scam pays 12,500 at the first level and ends up at 18,000 for mastery. Okay, so far it’s not looking good but hang on… once you master that you move on to Import/Export Scam which pays between 1.5 million and 2.25 million. The final shake down is the Dockyard Scam which pays between 170 million and 225 million.
Of course the cost of a shake down increases with each level and can get pretty steep reaching a peak of 128 influence points for the Dockyard Scam.
