Bangkok Glitch : Boss Jobs!

I'm sure this is old news.. but I still want to post it..

There is a glitch on Bangkok.. If somebody posted a Boss Job help in Bangkok, help by click on "Claim Your Bonus" button.
You can click up to 25x or until you have the limit of helping friends in a day.

The post should be look like this..




This works for Boss Fight episode 1 and episode 2 so far..





You'll have this after claiming your bonus :
You received 6 experience points and B$1,000 for helping XXXXX

Keep clicking, guys!

And now for the person who publish the job!
After our mafias help us, some lucky players can get up to 10 Million Baht!
But you need lots of mafia to do 25x clicks of the claim bonus button.. the more mafia who do 25x clicks, the more Baht you'll earn.
Also, my friend said that you have to be on another city after you publish this Boss help.. and after you think it's enough, you can go travel back to Bangkok to receive your XP and Baht. Only your mafias who can help you on the jobs, please remember that.

This hint works for some mafias and do not work for some unlucky ones..

For you who don't have a button to post your job help, I can only suggest to submit a ticket to the team. I have been trying for solutions, but none of the links I've found worked.. Apologize for unable to help further more.. Domo....

Good luck, my friends..

PS : thank you to Lynn, Thi Thi, Thomas, Rajan, Pedro, and some others who really nice sharing this glitch to me.. Have a nice day, guys!

YetiSkin Ghillie Suit!

Who wants this ARMOR?



Looks scary to me.. but still doesn't have better stats than Executive Overcoat from Moscow..
So better skip this one, my friend..
You'll need your Reward Points to refill energy on Bangkok or just spend them to buy skill points to increase your attack and or defense points..

Have fun! Peace!

FaceBook Spybot

There is a spybot on facebook and it may be slowing down FaceBook applications.
You can find it and then delete it.. I have tried and it works for me..

I have more info about this.. one of my friend this is only a hoax!
This I quote from him :
"I have a correction to make - The facebook spybot thing is jus a hoax. The 'Boxes' tab is named as 'unnamed app' in the 'Added to profile' list. Jus a facebook bug, not bot. When you remove it, the boxed tab disappears from your profile."

I checked it and it's true.. I have no more Boxes tab on my profile..
So it is NOT a virus or spyware, it is your “Boxes” tab, and Facebook is going to be getting rid of it soon.
But I won't delete this post.. Up to you to remove it now or not.. Domo....


How To Remove

1. Move cursor over SETTINGS tab (blue bar or top of page of your FaceBook screen)
2. Click on APPLICATION SETTINGS.
Just below it there is a box that shows - Show: Recently used, click down arrow and click "Added to Profile".




3. Under the first box (Added Profile tabs) If you see one in there called "Unnamed App", delete it!



Its an internal spybot. Nobody knows where does it come from.. but you better delete it..
Hope this helps you to play your game(s) better and faster.. Thanks a lot!


PS : Thank you to Kelly and Kripto Kool! Thanks to Varun for the correction!

Bangkok : Episode 1 (Brawler) And Episode 2 (Criminal)



I know that lots of you are waiting for the info about Bangkok episodes, which faction gives you better loots, etc..

Well please go to Mafia Wars Wiki then..
Bangkok episode 1 :
http://mafiawars.wikia.com/wiki/Brawler

Bangkok episode 2 :
http://mafiawars.wikia.com/wiki/Criminal

This site will give you detail info about each job.. the payout, the energy needed, the collections..
You won't miss one info! Yeah


For me, it doesn't matter which faction.. because a bit different with Moscow, you can choose it again on next chapter! And.. you can also do Yakuza and Triad job at the same time until you master each one. One click for Yakuza job, one click for Triad job, and soon.. and soon..

Episode 1 & 2, doesn't give powerful loots.. so you don't have to worry of choosing the wrong faction. Have fun exploring the episodes! Yahooooo

Bangkok Beta : Mafia Wars Bugs

Still we're facing Bangkok Beta version..
Mafia Wars was down for maintenance and yes there are some bugs that appear.. For example, we can gain Bangkok collection when we're doing jobs.. or when we help on our mafia's job.. even when they help us on our job.



And this one is a bit strange..
Our friend here was asking for help of his Mugging job. And he got this bonus after his mafias helping him.



Mugging job is located in New York, Street Thug job tier. Job's in New York and he received a Moscow Collection & Vault Egg.

Not only that, when he clicked on Home again, that pop up comes up again. Each time it appears, he'll receive another $63, 2 experience points, and Egg (not only Pansy).

This happened just after their maintenance.. and he keep doing that til he's tired.. qeqeqe


Not only on job help, the bug also appear on War. Some of you can not attack your target.. the screen went blank, etc..

Here is the answer from Zynga about this matter :

"There are a few situations that we’ve found result in game items not loading correctly or completely. These include Server lag, Ajax request timeouts, or simply an incorrectly cached copy of the data on your local machine.

If you are missing items or your Mafia Wars game is not loading correctly, please clear your cache. This will remove your temporary internet files resulting in increased browser speed and performance. It will also ensure that you are not referencing local files in place of files that have been updated on our servers. Bla bla bla..."

So, if the bug is annoying to you.. try to do their suggestions.. if still not working, submit a ticket! If still not satiesfied with their answer.. go to Zynga forum and send a PM (Private Message) to the admin or developers there. Goodluck!


PS : Thank you to Fabbie, Ronnie, Zaki for the screenshots and great infos!

Frog Man!

Bangkok Beta has been launched.. we're crazy about it for now!
And here comes new limited time offers from our beloved GodFather.. Frog Man!



First I thought it's an armor.. because I don't wanna buy item that has less stats than Moscow top loots..
Then I asked about this to one of my best mafia, she said it's a WEAPON! Geez.. perhaps because this Frog Man hold a harpoon or is that a weapon? No idea..

But let's skip this.. unless if you are a COLLECTOR who has lots of Reward Points.. Peace!

I need my points to refill energy so I can finish some jobs in Bangkok!


PS : Thank you, miss Chris, for the info! Domo....

Mika Vesasto's Wishlist Adder

I love this site.. Mika Vesasto's Wishlist Adder!
Site : http://shell.only4fun.org/~locheed/wish/index.html



This site is always update with new items.. including link to add Treasure Chest on your wishlist.. Bangkok collections (up to episode 5!), Bangkok boosts (including boost from the business), Thai Envelope, and also updates images of New York consumables..

I always suggest this site to my mafias.. they can put the item(s) even they do not have any yet!
Very nice job, Mika.. all credit goes to you! Thank you!

Which Faction Do You Choose?

NEW FEATURE – CHOOSE A FACTION FOR BEST LOOT

This is the single biggest change over Moscow.

Whenever you choose a side and do a job for that particular side, you receive experience that sways which the balance of the faction you side with. There are several progressive levels you can get to for whichever side you choose.



If you have chosen Yakuza, each time you do the ‘Yakuza’ specific job, you received 3 XP points towards the Yakuza faction; you also lose 1 XP point from the Triad faction. The same formula works in reverse.



Note : CELL Phones play a big Role here – YOU WILL NEED CELL PHONES!

The purpose of this is to allow the purchase of faction specific loot which has better attack and defense than any Moscow weapons. This loot can be purchased ONLY if you have progressed to the required faction level. You buy it with the cash you earn from doing jobs and opening businesses. The loot by comparison is very expensive and will take a long time to accumulate in quantity.

At this stage it appears as though the special faction loot is NOT giftable. Let's see if they launch Bangkok in full version.

At this stage you CANNOT fight in Bangkok yet.



Example: Yakuza OR Triad Faction - 1500 XP required to reach highest level, that's 500 jobs MINIMUM

Faction Levels -> Hostile - Suspicious - Neutral - Trusted - Honored - Allied

Faction Requirements

Hostile: 1-199/1500 faction
Suspicious: 200-399/1500 faction
Neutral: 400-699/1500 faction
Trusted: 700-999/1500 faction
Honored: 1000-1400/1500 faction
Allied: 1401-1500 faction

These are the various levels you get to depending on the XP you accumulate, as mentioned above, 1500 XP is required to achieve allied status. You can only gain this XP by doing the Yakuza or Triad specific job over and over. The rewards are good however ...

Yakuza is Attack - best Faction loot item - Yakuza Assassin 50 Attack 26 Defense
Triad is Defense - best Faction loot item - Shaolin Bodyguard 27 Attack 51 Defense


How to master each faction?



Each time you do a job for one faction, you gain +3 and only lose -1 from the previous job. As a result, with some work, you can actually max out both factions.
I chose Yakuza as my first faction to master, because I don't wanna get confuse with the additional +3 and -1 of each faction. You can try to max on Triad first, that's fine.. and then you can try to max on the next faction..

Basically it doesn't matter on which faction first.. one of my friend tried to choose Yakuza on first level and then Triad on the second level until he maxed out both factions. You can do that too!
In this way, you can figure out which faction can give you lower energy or else.. but I just don't have time to figure it out..

So again.. have fun in Bangkok, guys! Friends forever!


PS : thanks to Dan Ho and Larry for the info!

Bangkok Business Upgrade!

Hi guys,

This is the info business upgrade in Bangkok..
We have 4 business that we can get right away (of course if you have enough Baht to buy them) and 2 business require you to have Trusted Reputation on both factions.

Just like other cities, each business can be upgraded and require some amount of Baht. Here is the fully upgrade for 4 businesses..




And below is the screenshot of faction businesses.. one of my best mafia has unlocked these businesses and still need to upgrade all..



Unlike the 4 businesses above which produce Baht, these 2 faction businesses able to produce new boosts! Yes, just like Politico Corrupto from Cuban businesses. See the boosts and stats below :




What's the best strategy to manage your Baht money? Do you we have to buy businesses and upgrade them all?
Or just keep the Baht and spend them all to buy the requirements?

For you who is low level and doesn't have much Baht, you have no choice but only have ability to save your money and spend them on buying the job requirements.. qeqeqe

But if you have lots of energy to do the jobs and can master each level and episodes, of course you can start making business in Bangkok and upgrade them all to the fullest!

Happy gaming then! Let's dance!


PS : Thanks for the screenshot to Larry, Roger and Madoka!

Bangkok : Full Reputations!

I have tried to master one faction, which is Yakuza faction. And I did it..



The color of bars changing from one reputation to another.. From red, to yellow, and then green, blue and purple! Did I miss one color? I forget one, sorry..

Then I see this screenshot.. OMG!



This mafia fellow has reached the highest reputation of both factions and has unlocked all items from Faction Store!
He has full bought the businesses of both factions too..

Surely took lots of energy and GodFather points to refill the energy.. not to mention doing jobs of Yakuza and Triad back and forth..

Nice job, Larry! Very good job!!!!


PS : Thanks to Larry for the screenshot!

Envelope of Thai Baht

We have one free gift from Bangkok city : "Envelope of Thai Baht".

We can send it our family as free gift, here is the link or just go to your Free-Gift page :

http://mwfb.zynga.com/mwfb/remote/html_server.php?xw_controller=freegifts&xw_action=view&xw_city=3&tmp=c4ae3f5576026cba780ca09a09c2f0e4&cb=1000001517465021264158368




One of you has find a secret way to collect lots of envelopes.. he said it took hard work to collect these much.. please see the screenshot below :



Are you wondering how he can get those all?
I have posted several months ago about the cheat way to send lots of free gifts to your mafia.. I hope you can figure it out by yourself now.. come on, don't be lazy.. search it here on this blog!

Also there is another way..
If you have free gift of this item from your mafias, click on accept it from your request page but don't quickly open it. Like this :



Do not click on any button yet!
Quickly copy the link available on your browser and paste it on a new tab.. you'll have 2 gifts instead of one from the same person! So if you have 5 free-gifts, you can accept 10 gifts then..

Now you can accept more gifts or just play the game.. not bad at all!


PS : Thanks to Gadis Desa, Stuart, Pedro and Thi Thi for the info!

Millions of Baht!

Some lucky players have the ability to post their job help in Bangkok.. specially for the BOSS JOB! If you have reached on level 3 mastery (on each episode) and able to post the job help, you'll gained these (example of episode 2 level 3) :

Your Mafia was eager to help on Discredit Police Commissioner Chatri job. You earned B$561,000 and 1 experience point.

I was not one of the lucky players so I only gained B$561,000 and 1 experience point. But some of you, has variance of Baht while the XP is the same only 1 XP. My mafias got B$2,200,000 and few others who is level 500++ got B$5,000,000.



Now they're able to upgrade their Bangkok businesses to higher grade!

I don't know what determine the bonus.. I chose the same faction as one of the lucky one.. I even have higher level than he's.. so I guess this is randomly chosen by the game..

Congratulations to all of you who got millions of Baht! Have a good time! Wheeeeeeeeee..


PS : Thanks and congratz to Govind (for the screenshot too), Madoka, Pegasus, Davo and Jimmy for the info.. I'm waiting for your screenshot of upgraded Bangkok businesses.. Peace yo!
