Where to invest skill points?

My fellow mafia have always been in a dilemma as to where should they invest their skill points.

Old players can invest their skill points into either of these: Health, Stamina, Energy, Attack, Defense. In addition to these options some of the players who have the RACKETS in their profiles even have an option to invest their skill points into Influence, which actually helps them acquire more money out of their rackets.

Q1. Should I invest my skill points in Health??
A: Dont invest too many skill points into health as health can be refilled by visiting the doctor at the hospital every 60 seconds. A health of 150 is good enough for a 200 level player and that of 400 for a 500 level player.

Q2. Should I invest in Energy or Stamina?
A: Well both have their pros and cons, I shall take you through them point by point.
1. Energy is required for doing jobs (obtaining mastery), getting loots, experience points (XP) and money; on the other hand in fights you don't get any mastery but you do get the latter three if you are lucky.

2. If you choose stamina over energy, you should ensure that you even invest in Attack and defense so that you can win most of your fights, ideally your attack and defense should at least be equal to your level.

3. Stamina is better than energy as for each skill point you invest in stamina, you get atleast 1XP if you win to a max of 6XP, not to mention you get various loot drops if you are a level 100+ mafia... on the other hand in energy you would get a maximum of 2XP on every 1 energy spent (ideally even lower in Moscow and Bangkok).

4. You need less amount of time to use up all your energy as compared to the time you would require to use the same amount of stamina, as each fight consumes only 1 stamina which is very less compared to the jobs; then again while fighting you keep on losing heath and need to refill constantly so this can be annoying if your max health is less.

So, the answer is if you are a person who is interested only in jobs, you can go for high energy and at the same time for every 2-3 level ups you can invest a skill point in stamina, and for every level up invest one skill point each into attack and defense, rest can go into health and energy as per your wish.

FYI, I got lots and lots of Cuba, Moscow and Bangkok loot items like Shturmoviks, Executive coats, Ubijca Assault Rifle, Canonazo, Riding elephants and much much more even before I had started doing the jobs which had these cool items as loot drops

And dont forget to promote and fill in all your top mafia positions if you havent already.

Welcome to the Mafia Den

Hi Fellow Dons and Donnas,

This blog is dedicated to all the newbies, addicts, zombies playing MW, if you don't know what MW means or it stands for you may click HERE (why ask them to leave immediately when you can make them join your gang ;-) ).

Now a few lines about myself and my mafia experience so far, I have been playing MW daily for the past 115 days, and am a level 403 Maniac as of now. One of my friends registered me for mafia wars last year and I started playing it when rest of my friends said I was missing out on something by not playing the game. Soon enough I got addicted to the game and surpassed some of me (the then) top mafia friends.

Well enough about me, myself being a mafia addict I thought to start up this blog and post the strategies which have worked for me and what needs to be done and how it needs to be done.

So hold your breaths and hop in for a bumpy joy ride into the internals of Mafia wars :).

PS: I might not cover each and every update of MW, depending upon the time I have on my hands, but I sure will give you some useful tips which I have learned from my experience.
