Mafia Wars Computer Set Up

We’ve been talking about robbing electronic stores, and it’s something you have to do a lot to master all the jobs in New York in Mafia Wars. See, in order to do the jobs at the higher tiers, you’re going to need a lot of Computer Set-Ups. A lot of them. In fact, you’re going to need a total of 263 Computer Set-Ups in order to master all the jobs all the way to the Boss tier (level 100).

The reason you’re going to have to rob the electronics store over and over and over is because, unlike most items in Mafia Wars like Tommy Guns, Getaway Cars, and Brass knuckles, Computer Set-Ups are consumed when used, so if you have one that’s required to do the job, you won’t be able to do the job again until you get your hands on another Computer Set-Up.

Two of the higher-tier (underboss, level 69-90) jobs you need Computer Set-Ups to master are:
‘take over identity theft ring’
‘embezzle funds through a phony company’

There is another way to get Computer Set-Ups. They have a small chance to drop while fighting other mafias, but the chance is so small that it’s much more efficient to rob the electronics store instead.

Another way is to have your friends send them to you. One of the reasons Zynga games have gone so viral is that they promote the game by allowing players to send each other things they need in the game so that it posts on their Facebook page, without having to actually own any of the items on their own characters.

Still, this is highly inefficient, as you are limited on how many and often you can gift items to others, so unless you have a large group of friends who readily send you items all the time, then this option is not the best choice for getting Computer Set-Ups.

So, get out there and rob some electronics stores!
