Mafia Wars Level Up Fast - Jobs or Fighting?

Many people log on to Mafia Wars feeling the itch to level up. Not everybody is that single minded, but there is a satisfaction about seeing your Mafia Wars level increase. With Cuba and Moscow to lure us into higher levels, it’s no surprise that we want to get leveled up quickly.

Let’s look at basics for Mafia Wars leveling. You pass on to the next level when you acquire a set number of experience points. You convert your energy and stamina into experience by doing jobs and participating in fights. Heists used to yielded experience points, as well. (I long for robbery!)

Leveling quickly can be done through an emphasis on jobs or on fighting. If a Fearless character structures their own top mafia right and gets into the Wheelman slot in someone else’s crew, job centered leveling is laughably fast. Maniac characters also have an advantage in speed leveling with either method because of the quick recovery of energy points built into that character. Mogul characters don’t have any energy bonus built in to make job based leveling faster, but can still get fast leveling through fighting.

If you want to dodge the occasional retaliation loon in Mafia Wars, job leveling is the stress free way to go. From level one to one hundred, you’ll assign the majority of your skill points into your energy stat. Pursue job mastery and tier mastery all the time. As you go up in the tiers, jobs will demand more preparation and energy points to work but you’ll receive more experience and loot too. You’ll have to restrain yourself from leaping into the new tiers that unlock as you level up; wait until you’ve mastered the jobs and the tier all three times before you jump ahead too much. Keep track of the experience:energy ratio of Mafia Wars jobs and do the jobs that give you the most experience out for your energy investment in. This emphasis on mastery and high experience yield jobs sets you up perfectly with oceans of energy for the upper levels so you can blow through. Don’t underestimate the importance of the skill points you’ll get as you do job based leveling, or the cash, equipment, and tier mastery bonuses. (You’re huge energy stat will also be an advantage in Mafia Wars Moscow.)

If you want to level quick through fighting, you’ll have some different strategy. Allocating your skill points in both energy and stamina is necessary in order to constantly attack in Mafia Wars. Since success on the fightlist requires crew size, equipment, and strong personal stats, you’ll have to spend some time in recruitment, buy some specials or lel, and invest something in attack, at a minimum. One of the best things about this way of leveling is that you’ll soon acquire the best equipment from Cuba and NYC and loads of money from your targets. (Just aim to do a job as your last energy expenditure before you level up, since a job experience yield will give you a bigger step up that’s more experience point quantity than a fight.) Get a good fight bookmarklet to avoid dislocating your finger starting fights, and spare some sympathy for your consumable-hungry job based leveling acquaintance.

You might find that a merger of job and fight leveling is more enjoyable than pursuing just one or the other. First thing you do at every new level is fight until your stamina is gone, because fights yield more experience:energy which gets you a big push ahead in experience. After the fighting, get to work on job mastery. Combine fighting and job leveling ideas like this and you can be a tough and also earn that massive energy stat that will pay off later. The best of both Mafia Wars level up strategies.
