Brazil 5-8 Released

Brazil 5-8 Has been released, I'm still working my way through them, so give it time before you see a full Brazil Re-Cap...

But in the mean time, here is the new list of the top Lootable items!

Lots of new loot with Numbers in the 90's range, A few in the 80's range, and 2 stragglers in the rear still boasting about their stats in the 70's

For the moment the ONLY thing I can Suggest to those out there that want a CHANCE of getting 501 of any of these pieces. Stay at Silver Mastery on Chapter 7 (Rio De Janeiro: Copacabana) after you have unlocked Chapter 8 (Sao Paolo: Taubate Prison), and start repeating the jobs for the lower Energy cost, Sure it seems the drop rates are better then what they where for Brazil 1-5, But they are still bad enough you can expect to spend hundreds of millions of energy points for your 501 Sets!

What surprised me the most is all the newly released FHEL6 has been replaced, Yet the Good old Venomous from FHEL4 is still hanging around!

Obsolete already

With all things Mafia Wars Loot becomes obsolete fast! And with today's introduction of FHEL5 more loot then ever has become old news!
Lets look at what was ONCE new and is now Old!

1 Month ago we had 4 new Operations released, These where great and had some nice Stats, but with the pathetic drop rates, getting 501 was going to be impossible 71 operations done here for 6 "Rare" Items and 534 Operations done here for 24 "Rare" items
So for those players who tried their hardest to get the operation loot, What's left? Well the answer is of the 7 New items that where released, only 4 remain standing as HEL

 Or how about the Armoury and Zoo upgrades released just 9 Days ago, 10 New loot items released, of that 3 items where above top loot at the time Now just 1 item is left

 How about the Lucky Stash, That at least costs Reward points to stock up on, Hows it fairing after the release of the latest Fight loot? Again the answer is not good!

 How about the War Rewards they where released just 2 days ago, Surely some of those HAVE to be worth the time gathering!

Tier 2 Rewards are a Strike NOTHING is higher then the current FHEL5 and Job Lootable items

And Tier 3 War items dont look much better! with just 4 Items remaining above the current HEL Standard!

Thanks to the Mafia Wars Wiki for the details on Tier 3 War loot

 So with FHEL5 Making so many things obsolete overnight you have to wonder if one department inside Zynga even talks to another, Surely there has to be some thing going wrong if so much recently released loot becomes obsolete after just one release!

Whats the new Top Loot?

Well with the latest introduction of FHEL5 What's now considered Top Loot? Well here is the current list of the top Lootable Loot

With now 5 out of 8 Items dropping from Fights, and one Purchasable with Victory Coins from Fights, it really Seems Zynga is pushing the Fighting aspect of the game! Really if your not stocking up on Stamina, and have at least 1250 in Personal Attack I really think its time your started taking another look at your account!

The Top Giftable loot is nothing to be ashamed at either, But then again with the drop rate so low in Italy, really the only way your going to get to 501 of any of these, is to either Bleed energy, or be the biggest trader in Mafia Wars, or Buy it from the black Market, Even with my ending supply of energy I gave up trying to collect any more then 100 of these

Fight High End Loot 5 Released

Yep the latest round of Fight loot has been released, Along with the new Bugs with every Zynga Update

If you check the rewards on your Fight page you will see they have be updated, the 4 new items are all Superior items

The four new items are the Windswept, the Slipstream, Talon, and Idle Hands

 

 1 New Weapon, Armour, Vehicle, and Animal

Now with all Good Zynga releases, Zynga always drops in a bug or 2, we have 4 New FIGHT loot items, the bad news is only 3 of them drop from fighting! The 4th still seems to be missing!

As for Drop rate's well there are still issues with only 3 items dropping but for the moment here is my first run

18 Idle Hands
23 Slipstreams
and 18 Talons
89 FHEL5 items in 19,765 wins that's 1 FHEL5 per 335 Wins
If the drop rate is the same for all 4 items then you should get 1 item per 250 wins
So your gonna have to win about 600K fights to max out on FHEL5 so its time to Start up Brawler and start Fighting your way through Mafia Wars one Ice at a time!

Italy goes Giftable

In case you haven't noticed yet Italy Loot went giftable today replacing the VHEL as the new top giftable loot
So here is a list of the current TOP giftable Loot, its ALL from Italy, replacing those bits and pieces of Operation loot that was giftable

But when the loot went Giftable Zynga forgot something.... The consumables they still aren't giftable, so if you had planed to use a energy account to help you progress, Sorry guys... more waiting :(

Sure the Consumables where giftable as free gifts for a little while there, but they had daily limited on how many your could accept, and where shortly replaced on the free gifts page by the constant onslaught of gifting events

So what is the current TOP loot? well thats a REALLY hard question.... here is the top IS lootable

The top loot that IS lootable is mostly Operations... sure like I said just yesterday in "Operations just how bad are the loot drops?" it IS lootable but you have no real chance of getting even 100 of these items let alone 501

So what do you have a chance of looting? Well here is your answer These are the items you have a chance of maxing out on, either via gifting or fighting or looting

But event then with the drop rate SO bad in both Italy and Brazil what can you expect most players inventory to look like? well providing you have the stamina, to get the required amount of Victory Coins here is what most players should be aiming for

With this latest change in what loot has gone giftable, you can expect the average Attack and Defence scores to be raised to the 150K milestone over the next coming weeks
Now if Italy and Brazil items actually DROPPED that would help those who don't rely on gifting from a energy account keep ahead of the pack!
