Money, money, money. That’s what you’re in it for. That’s why you’re playing Mafia Wars. Sure, it’s nice to grow a big Mafia family, but you complete jobs for money. You attack people for money (and revenge sometimes). Heck, you have a family to defend yourself and your properties from losing money. I’m sure you’ll do just about anything to earn more money in Mafia Wars.
Of course the most important part of your money earning is to invest in some properties. At the start you’ll probably focus on buying undeveloped land, then as you advance in the game you’ll start purchasing businesses and buildings that will earn you a steady stream of income without you having to complete more jobs. There are some ways to maximize your earnings from your properties that you should be focusing on.
- Buy properties in bulk of 5 or 10 instead of one at a time. The price of the items goes up after each transaction, so if you can purchase in bulk you will be saving yourself some money. Of course it means you will have to earn more money first.
- Keep checking the price of properties as they might be lower after a while, and if they are you just got yourself a bargain.
- Protect your properties to maintain their health. Your properties will be attacked and robbed, and each time this happens their health decreases. Once this happens the building starts earning less money for you, so you should always protect your buildings from attacks and robberies.
- Collect your income at least once a day. This will maximize your earnings, and if you don’t you will lose more money.
Now when you have some serious money coming in you should think about depositing it into a bank. If you have your money out in the open, you will get robbed and lose money. Having said that, there is a 10% fee on the total amount you deposit each time. So if you are losing more than 10% each time you get robbed, you better deposit that money. But if you are only losing say 2%, then forget about the bank. They’re the ones robbing you.
You also need to ensure you will be around long enough to create more money, so your health is essential. Before you log out each time, if your Mafia’s health is low go to the hospital and get yourself healed. You will be ready to get back to money making when you log in the next time.
One overlooked way of getting more money, indirectly, is through Godfather points. You shouldn’t use your points on actual money though, that’s a waste as you can earn a lot more through jobs and investments. Nor should you use it on getting more members or restoring your health. Godfather points are extremely valuable, so you should use them on skill points (which will ensure your long term domination), crates (to get some powerful and useful items) and energy (only when you have a high energy capacity). If you focus on using your Godfather points on these three areas, you’re ability to make more money will be significantly increased.
So focus your attention on the things that will make you more money, and your Mafia will be better off because of it.
