Mafia Wars Tips and Tricks: The "Job Friend Reward"

Some of you have already noticed that Zynga has made changes to the attack screen to some users. Zynga has not implemented this to everyone because they are testing it on some users first. Some have also noticed changes in the job loot drop. When you do a job you can get loot dropped. Before you just got notified that you got a loot item doing a particular job. Now you're also notified that someone in your Mafia found this loot item for you.

What is the "Job Friend Reward"?

Well, when you (i.e. Jane Smith) get a loot item dropped and are notified that i.e. "John Smith found a TNT..." John Smith will get the following message in his "Player Updates" window (front page of Mafia Wars): "Jane Smith earned some great items with your help. Click here to claim your reward." When you click this link you'll get a experience point reward for helping a Mafia friend find a loot item doing a job.

The "Social Fight Reward", or Capo reward, for fighting as someones Capo is not the same as the "Job Friend Reward".

The "Social Fight Reward" gives you experience points for helping one of your Mafia members win a fight (fighting as their Capo). You don't have to be friends to get this reward, only that you are in each others Mafia, and it's rewarded automatically without clicking any links. This reward is one of two reasons to grow your Mafia beyond 501 Mafia.

Use this link to see how many experience points you've earned fighting as a Capo helping your Mafia: http://apps.facebook.com/inthemafia/index.php?xw_controller=index&xw_action=social_fight_reward
*Once you click that link your count will be set to zero. The next time you click the link you'll see the experience points you've received from the last time you clicked that link. Credit for the link goes to http://www.mafia-wars.org

The second reason to growing your Mafia beyond 501 is the "Job Friend Reward". It works in the exact same way as the "Social Fight Reward", only that now you also get experience points when YOU find loot when friends are doing jobs. The reward given is 2 experience points for everytime you find a loot item for a friend. There's no way to increase your chances of getting picked as the person finding the loot item when your friend are doing that job. It's equally random as getting picked fighting as someones Capo in the "Social Fight Reward".

Everytime you check your "Player Updates" window and click the link provided when you get a message like this -"Jane Smith earned some great items with your help. Click here to claim your reward."- you'll see the reward you obtained from the last time you clicked that link. This also works the same as the "Social fight reward" link.

Now go out there and fight as a Capo, help your friends find some loot and grow your Mafia to earn more experience points.

Update 8/6-09 due to member comments: I want to clarify that the reward experience points are given automatically and there's no need to click the links to get them. The links are a tool so that you can see how many experience points you've been rewarded.
