Top Mafia Guide

At level 8, players are able to promote Mafia family members into Top Mafia positions available on your My Mafia tab. Occupying a position as a Top Mafia and promoting others to your own Top Mafia both provide bonuses to your stats and accumulation of money and experience.

There are six positions available to promote your Mafia friends:

  • Mastermind
  • Wheelman
  • Button Man
  • Bodyguard
  • Safecracker
  • Bagman
  • March 10, 2009: Each Top Mafia member will now provide you with unique benefits.
  • March 17, 2009: Friend Benefits – Earn Rewards for Being in a Friend’s Top Mafia

The following six tables provide some guidance about how various levels on bonuses are determined for your Top Mafia.

  1. ? This means the Heist value for the old robbing system, not Robbing Wins. This Heist value is not modifiable any longer, therefore only “old” players have values greater than 5%.

Demote & Re-Promote Strategy

A common strategy among players with large pools of Energy is to Demote their Mastermind after using an Energy Pack. The basic idea is that the total pool of Energy available to level up including the Energy Pack far exceeds the amount of XP needed to level. By eliminating the XP gain from the Mastermind bonus, players are able to complete more Jobs and progress farther along in the Job Mastery. Once the player levels up, they Re-Promote the demoted Mafia member to Mastermind.

This strategy is only useful for increasing Job Mastery, or obtaining more Job Preparation Items and/or Special Loot. Experience gained from jobs that is greater than what is required to level carries over to the next level. Energy Packs set your current energy to 125% of the maximum, they don’t add that much energy. Leveling resets any amount of energy below 100% to 100%.

In other words, to get the most out of an Energy Pack, you should use it at 0 energy, and when 125% of your energy will not force you to level. For most Energy-based characters, this is impossible.

NEW Top Mafia

Some players have now been given access to the NEW Top Mafia hierarchial setup. Players who have received this access, shall now see the following, on their Top Mafia Page.

File:Top_Mafia_Slots_Open.jpg

There are now only FOUR rankings, for which you can assign players. However, multiple players can be assigned to some ranks.

The new ranks are as follows:

  • Captains
  • Lieutenants
  • Enforcers
  • Street Crew

Daily Rewards include a consumable, a loot item, stamina refill, energy refill, or bonus experience.

For sending an energy pack to a Top Mafia Memeber you receive 3 experience and for sending a gift you gain 4 experience.
