Property Dashboard and Global Properties – FAQ
Mafia Wars Home pageQ. How do I use the new Property Dashboard on the Mafia Wars home page?
A. We have made it easier for you to manage all your properties using the new Property Dashboard on the Mafia Wars home page.
The Property Dashboard has 3 tabs:1. COLLECT:
Click on Collect to view all the cities in which you have properties.
You can collect from each city property one at a time, or can collect
from all your properties within a city at the same time.
The timer indicates how long you need to wait until you can collect again.
Clicking on "Collect All" will show you what you have collected from a particular property:
You will also be notified when you collect individually:
Please note that New York properties on the Home page will not include the old NY properties:
2. CRAFT:
Click on Craft to craft from all your properties in each city, quickly
and with ease. You can build items, make consumables and buy items
using City Cash
You will see all Global Properties and City Properties under this tab.
Global Properties consist of all the Limited Time Properties released to date, along with the following old New York Properties:
- Chop Shop
- Weapons Depot
- Armory
- Private Zoo
You can access the Limited time properties by clicking on “Visit Property” link.
Click on the drop-down to select an item and click on the Build button to finish building.
The drop-down menu will have 2 categories:
- Craftable
- Locked
You
will only be able to build items under the Craftable category. If you
want to build a locked item then you will have to upgrade the property.
Click on “Visit Property” to visit your Global Properties.
Q: How will I be notified after building an Item?
A: You will be notified after successfully building an item by a message similar to the one below:

Q: How will I know which building materials are needed to build an item?A: Use the Visit Property link to visit your property and find out what materials are required to build an item.
At this moment, we are not displaying this information through any notficiations.
If
you wish to craft an Item from a different property, the "Visit
Property" link will help you navigate through all your properties.
Q: If I have a Property Crew activated, will I get the bonus Stats?A:
Yes, you will receive the Bonus Stats if your property crew is
activated. Please note that Property crew will expire even if you use
the individual collect option.

the City Properties tab. This will ensure quick navigation to your
favorite properties without you having to travel to New york.
Q: The Global Properties tab shows that I can build an item from 6 properties every 24 hours. How does it work?
A: Global
Properties are a great way to build new items and sharpen your skills.
Previously, players were able to build an item from 5 different
properties every 18 hours. You will now be able to build an item from 6
different properties every 24 hours.
Q: How will the Property Timers work?A:
Property Timers are now uniform for all the players across different
geographies. To ensure that all players get similar benefits, the
Property Timer resets every day at 00:00 AM Pacific Time.
You
can build one free item per property every 24 hours, and can build a
maximum of six items from across all your property within this time
frame (From 00:00 AM to 23:59 PM Pacific Time of the same day). The
timer will reset at 00:00 AM and any unused free builds will be lapsed.
Q: What else has changed in the Properties page?A: We have redesigned the Properties page to load faster.
It is no longer required to make a property “Active” in order to use it to collect or build.
The
Global Properties tab has arrows on either side so that you can scroll
right or left through all your properties without reloading the page.
When you mouse-over a property, you can view the various options that are available to manage the property:
