Mafia Wars, the supremely popular, text-based, online Role Playing Game has over seven million daily players according to Zynga’s latest numbers. One thing they are constantly looking for is an item in the game called Illegal Transactions.
This is because Mafia Wars, for most people, is all about mastering all the jobs, massing obscene amounts of cash, and having tons of weapons, vehicles, and even exotic paintings and animals. Well in order to master all the jobs in New York, you’re going to need quite a few Illegal Transactions.
The reason this is so hard for new players to understand is because Illegal Transactions, unlike most items needed to do jobs in mafia wars, are consumed on use. Other jobs may require you to have two getaway cars and two tommy guns, but you are allowed to reuse those items until you’ve mastered the job, and even get to keep them to do other jobs. With Illegal Transactions, it’s different.
There are two ways to obtain Illegal transactions in mafia wars. One is have your friends gift them to you. One reason Zynga games have become so popular is because they allow players to gift items that they need to one another even if they don’t actually own the items themselves in exchange for posting announcements on their Facebook pages, promoting the game.
However, unless you have hordes of friends who routinely check their announcements and are able to send you illegal transactions at a moment’s notice, this method of obtaining them is rather inefficient.
The other, more dependable way to get illegal transactions is to do the job “Steal Bank Records,” which is in the Capo tier (level 25-34). You won’t necessarily get illegal transactions to drop from doing this job, but it is the best way to get these items that you need to master the jobs at higher levels.

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!

Mafia Wars Untraceable Cell Phones
In mafia wars, some items are extremely valuable if you want to complete all the job masteries in New York. One of those is untraceable cellphones. In order to master all the jobs all the way to Boss level (100) in New York, you’re going to need lots and lots of untraceable cellphones.
The reason for this is that unlike most items in Mafia Wars, like Tommy Guns, Sawed-off Shotguns, or getaway cars, untraceable cellphones are consumed with each use. So in order to master the jobs that require untraceable cell phones, you’re going to need a stockpile. And, before you ask, you can’t simply buy untraceable cell phones at the market place.
Here is a list of all the jobs that require untraceable cell phones:
-used on ‘order hit on public official’ Underboss 69-90
-used on ‘ransom a busnissman’s kids’ Consigliere
-used on ‘flip a snitch’ – Capo 25-34
-used on ‘dodge an fbi tail’ – Capo 25-34
There are only two ways to get untraceable cell phones in Mafia Wars. You can ask for your mafia friends to send them to you. Players are able to send gifts even if they don’t actually own any of the item they are gifting. This is one of the strategies game-maker Zynga has used that made all of their games go viral. Friends encourage friends to sign up so they can send them untraceable cell phones.
The other way to get untraceable cell phones in mafia wars is to do the job “Rob an Electronics Store,” which is in the Enforcer tier (level 13-17). I almost feel bad for the owners of the electronics store, because you are going to need to rob them a lot. It’s not guaranteed that you get an untraceable cell phone from the job, but you also need concealable cameras in order to get blackmail photos!
That’s how you can get untraceable cell phones in mafia wars, so get out there an rob some electronics stores!

Mafia Wars Blackmail Photos
In the massively multiplayer popular online text-based Facebook role playing game, or MMPOTBFBRPG, Mafia Wars, which has over seven million daily users according to game-maker Zynga, there are some items that are highly valuable, and one of those in mafia wars is blackmail photos.
The reason blackmail photos are in such high demand is that they are required for many many jobs available in the New York section of the game. In order to earn job mastery for several jobs on several different levels, you’re going to have to have a lot of blackmail photos. The reason for this is that, unlike other items like Tommy Guns, Sedans, or Lead Pipes, blackmail photos are consumed when you click “Do Job,” meaning you could have all the energy in the world, but if you don’t have enough blackmail photos, you’re not going to be able to master that job.
There are actually two ways to get blackmail photos in mafia wars. One is ask for your friends in your mafia to send them to you. The game allows players to “gift” items they don’t actually have to each other to encourage you to keep playing the game and keep posting updates about it on your Facebook page. This is the strategy Zynga has used to make its games hugely successful. So, your first option at getting blackmail photos is to beg for them from your friends.
The second way to get blackmail photos is by doing the “Obtain Compromising Photos” job in the Hitman (level 18-24). In order to do that, however, you need to have a concealable camera, which is sometimes a reward from “Rob an Electronics Store.” You will have to do that job a lot in order to master all the jobs in New York, even after you’ve already mastered it.
Here are a list of the Jobs that you will need blackmail photos to do:
‘buy off a federal agent’ Boss Tier (level 100+)
‘blackmail district attorney,’ Boss Tier (level 100+)
‘influence a harbor official,’ Consigliere (level 35-59)
So now that you know how important blackmail photos are in mafia wars, get out there and start obtaining some compromising photos!

Mafia Wars Illegal Records
Illegal records in mafia wars is one of those consumable items that can only be obtained by completing jobs or from gifts from other members of your mafia. Here is an overview of how to get a pack of illegal records and just how many you are going to need to master the Consigliere, underboss and boss levels all the way through three stars.
You obtain illegal records by completing the job in the Capo tier entitled: steal bank records. This job requires 30 energy and returns 38 experience and $840,000. In order to complete the illegal records job you will need to have completed the job: smuggle Thai gems in order to receive the armored truck loot.
Illegal records are used in the jobs:
Consigliere Tier - Fix The Big Game
Underboss Tier - Extort a Corrupt Judge and Embezzle Funds Through a Phony Company
Boss Tier - Shake Down a City Council Member
Each of these jobs will require one set of illegal records. In order to master each level of each of the jobs listed above are will require 52 illegal records for fix the big game, 184 for extort a corrupt judge, 79 for in embezzle funds through a phony company and 109 to complete shake down a city Council member.
This means you will need to gather a grand total of 424 sets of illegal transaction records and to master each of the job titles listed above. That's going to mean smuggling an awful lot of gems, as well as stealing a whole bunch of bank records. You would think that after a while the bank and the feds would eventually get you. It's hard to rob a bank even once, but more than 400 times? Oh well, nobody said games were supposed to fall in line with reality.

Blackmail Photos
There are lots of different kinds of loot items in mafia wars that require you to collect a certain number in order to complete various jobs. One of these types of consumable loot items is blackmail photos. Blackmail photos can be obtained a couple of different ways when playing mafia wars on Facebook.
Before we talk about the specifics you should probably know that in order to complete all of the jobs in the New York tiers, you are going to need more than 403 sets. Since you will probably not do the job that obtains blackmail photos even 100 times, it means that you are going to have to use your first source for blackmail photos as your primary way of collecting this loot item.
The best way to get blackmail photos is as a gift from friends. Now, you can also get them from the Godfather, but you should probably spend those points on something else. Having lots of mafia wars friends to help you out is absolutely the number one way to obtain most loot items.
But, if you are only trying to get enough blackmail photos to complete a certain job, you can get them from the quest "obtain compromising photos" which requires you to have a concealable camera in your inventory. The camera comes from the job "rob an electronics store."
Just remember that it is always best to receive most of your quest items as gifts, which will require that you grow your mafia wars friends list as much as you possibly can.

Mafia Wars Bodygaurds
It's easy to see why mafia wars has become so popular, it's addictive as hell. It is really simple to play, more fun than an automatic weapon, and a whole lot quieter to boot. It's a chance for you to let your inner thug out for the day, or at least for a few hours. And speaking of thugs, let's talk a little bit more about bodyguards in mafia wars.
Bodyguards are rare loot items that you can get it in several different ways. Like most rare loot items you are going to need bodyguards in order to complete certain jobs as you progress toward Godfather. The biggest reason for needing more bodyguards is that your defense is very important in most fights; having bodyguards in your inventory will give you a better chance of winning.
You can get more bodyguards by completing a certain quest in the game called "protect your city against a rival family" once you have risen to hitman level. Since this is a random loot item, you will want to complete this quest several times until you've built up a small army of bodyguards.
But the best way to get bodyguards is from other players as a gift. This is why it's so important that you recruit a lot of friends, especially players who are much higher level than you in mafia wars. There are lots of really useful items they can send you as gifts everyday. Just be sure that once you are one of the top mafia, you give back to the people who gave to you and also your friends that may need a little boost.
You can also receive bodyguards as a random item through fights, but fighting is not a recommended activity early in the game. You stand a much greater chance of losing your fights when you are low-level, than when you've had a chance to gain more items and experience playing mafia wars.

Mafia Wars Private Jet
Of all the cool loot in mafia wars, the private jet that may be atop the list for many people. Of course, it's only available when you get to level 100 and can begin the boss level quests. Here's a brief overview of what you are going to need in order to complete the quest that drops the private jet as loot.
The first order of business is energy. The name of the job from which you can get the private jet is called "make a deal with the Mexican cartel." The job will require you to have 35 energy to complete. You will also need to have:
3 prop planes (http://mafiawars.wikia.com/wiki/Prop_Plane)
4 night vision goggles (http://mafiawars.wikia.com/wiki/Night_Vision_Goggles)
10 automatic rifles (>http://mafiawars.wikia.com/wiki/Automatic_Rifle>
The prop planes are obtained from the quest steal an air freight delivery, and are also used in the quests "help a fugitive flee the country" in the consigliere level, and "arrange a new York drug shipment," which is an El Cacique level quest.
The night vision goggles are looted from the quest "assassinate a political figure," and are also used in the capo level quest "loot the police impound lot."
Automatic rifles are obtained as loot from the quest "bust a made man out of prison."
You will need to complete the prerequisite quests a few times as you level up to acquire the loot necessary to get the private jet, but the effort is well worth it for one of the coolest loot items around.>
