Mafia 101 - crash course

This is a fast reference guide for new players in fuMafia, based on my personal recommendations. I've arranged the information to correspond with the various tabs in fuMafia. [Home, Missions, Territory, Favors, Bank, Attack, Journal, Hitlist, Equipment, Hospital, My Turf, Turfs, Lottery, My Mobster, Ranks, New Players, Help]

***Home***

This is where you get the latest news and broadcasts from your personal mob as well updates on your players status and other useful information. This is the default tab that loads when you first enter Mafia

***Missions***

Energy points are required to perform missions. Doing missions will level you quickly so try not to get carried away. Regular missions will earn you money & equipment in addition to experience/skill points so pace yourself. Loot missions earn you specific items or upgrades. Chance missions allow you a slot-machine spin and you either win or lose energy points. Nuclear Arms Race missions are available after level 100.  NOTE: If you want to be a strong and effective player, do NOT do a lot of regular missions as they level you up WAY too fast to build your player properly. Try to limit missions to those required to earn equipment i.e. blast shelters, battle tanks, fortified m-16s etc.

***Territory***

Buy as much territory as you can. This is how you generate your hourly "income" or Cash Flow (CF). I recommend maintaining a CF equal to or greater than your ranking. For example: level 75 should have 75M or more CF. Always purchase territories in sets of 10. This saves money. I suggest buying at least 50-100 of every territory as you earn cash, buy what you can when you can. To save money, only buy 10 deserted lots, abandoned storefronts and/or town squares when needed and use them up before buying 10 more. I recommend trying to get a CF of 500M by level 150 and 1B by level 200. Try to build up enough cash to purchase the higher-priced properties as they bring in more income. NOTE: Safehouses lower your chance of being milked for cash on hand when losing a random attack as well as lowering the actual amount taken from you.

***Favors***

This is where you can use fubar credits to buy scrubs, stat refills and cash bonuses as well as redeem gift favors given to you.

***Banking***

I definitely recommend banking as much cash on hand as possible. If you lose a random attack, there is a likely chance your attacker will loot $$$ from you so bank as much as possible to avoid major losses. Before making a deposit, be sure to check the availability of banks with lower deposit rates.

***Attacking***

Health and stamina are needed to attack random players and hitlisted players. One stamina is used per attack.
NOTE: Its common mafia courtesy to respect the rule of 3. Do not attack enemy players more than 3 times if they are in a turf. If they are turfless there is no limit to how many times you can attack. Keep backhanding to a minimum. Retaliation results in your players being hitlisted and/or your turf members being listed as well. I DO NOT recommend doing random attacks on anyone from the major turfs or turfs more powerful than your own.

***Journal***

This is where you bookmark certain players who you want to find in the future, it is also a list of mobsters you have recently attacked from the random list. I keep non-turfed players in my journal for reference. I suggest bookmarking opponents who are unturfed and within your level that reap wins and big payoffs.


***Hitlist/Bounties***

This is the best way to get money quickly. I recommend monitoring the HL as much as possible especially while still at a low level. It is very tedious but is very rewarding in the end. Do not waste health/stamina on players who have been on the list longer than 10 minutes. Your Hitlist value is your cashflow + upkeep x 10.

 

***Equipment***

Do not overequip your player, this leads to overspending. Keep the minimum items required for missions and equip your mob accordingly. If you're unsure of how much equipment to buy and what items, please ask. We will help you keep expenses minimal.

***Hospital/Healing***

You may use the hospital to increase your health level quickly (up to 70%) but this costs money. Always check to be sure you are in the right hospital for your specific needs. Ask if you don't know what this means.

***My Turf***

This is where you click if you join a turf and want to go to your turf home page and meeting room.

***Turfs***

This is a list of all fuMafia turfs available. An independant mobster can do the turf mission if he or she wishes to run their own turf and be the boss.

***Lottery***

These are rackets (businesses) available for temporary ownership by a turf. Owning a racket can increase a turfs income or boost stats or offer equipment upgrades.

***My Mobster***

This is your mobsters profile page. This is where you view your statistics and achievements. You can access your personal mob here as well as edit your mobster. It is important to have 5 mobsters per every level. Do not stop attempting to increase mob until you reach 750 mobsters. The easiest way to increase your mob level is to frequently visit the New Players tab. Do not stop increasing your personal mob even when you have 750 to compensate for deleted players. Always visit your turf allies to check for new recruits who may not be in your mob. If you are undermobbed your attack and defense will not be as powerful or as effective.

***Stats/Exp/Skills***

For New Players, I recommend increasing your skills as follows: Evenly distribute earned experience/skill points and build up towards the following for starters
[350 Attack, 150 Defense, 1300 Energy, 1000 Health, 50 Stamina]

***Ranks***

This is a list of the top mobsters and turfs over a range of categories.

***New Players***

This is the most recent additions to mafia, you can come here to quickly add mob when needed.
