This post was originally from February 2009, before many of the new features like job mastery, achievements, and Cuba. Therefore you may find details on some of these items missing. I will update as I have the time.
I’m currently a level 92 335 (as of 6/25/09) Fearless in Facebook Mafia Wars. I remember starting out and scouring the internet for some good hints (not cheats), and being extremely disappointed at the lack of good help out there. Most of the articles focused on cheats (if you’re going to cheat, why bother playing???) or were written by a level 20-something. I found a couple of good tidbits, which I have applied, but find it my responsibility to fill a gap that’s out there. So here are some tips and advice on leveling quickly in Facebook Mafia Wars.
Note that there are MANY different ways to play this game. I prefer to play to level quickly and consistently, therefore this is what this guide focuses on.

If you haven't played Mafia Wars at all yet, this is a full walk-through on getting started in a mafia war. It will give you a high level overview of getting into the game and making your choices for character type and your first skill points. The Basics
If you haven't been playing for long or just have some general questions about how things work, you should find most of what you need here in the basics. There are general strategies for what to do your first few levels, how to get started with jobs, inventory, properties, and leveraging your stamina. The Godfather and using your reward points are also covered. Rollin' a Bankroll
In Rollin' a Bankroll you will find specifics on going from your paltry initial income to the wealth that comes from high amounts of passive income. This is the place to start if you are currently broke. There is also some general advice on banking, expenses, and getting through the rough patch of $250,000 to $10,000,000 an hour. If you are just looking for property selection advice, you should start with Property Moguls instead.
If you are interested in growing your mafia at lightning speed and beating up on your weaker enemies … then this is going to be the most exciting message you ever read.
Heres why:
There is an amazing new ebook called, “Mafia War Secrets”. It covers nearly everything you need to know about cheating your way through mafia wars in ways other players would never dream of.
Imagine being able to start at the first level again with 500 mafia members. Youd almost never lose a fight or be robbed!. Wouldn`t that be great?
Or what about if you could win the admiration of other players and your friends with your killer-instinct mafia leadership skills.. How would that feel?
Imagine being able to thrash your opponents in each and every attack or robbery attempt against your mafia.. It truly is possible, but you need to know how.
Thats what this brand new e-book will teach you how to do!

I guess Mafia games are a big hit these days. Zynga’s Mafia Wars, a multiplayer game that’s playable on social networks like Facebook, as well as the iPhone, has attacted some 4 million games to its clutches. (This, despite the fact that it’s more or less a rip-off of the earlier Mafia Life game.) Part of the game’s success, I think, can be attributed to the fact that, unlike in games like World of Warcraft, there’s not as much of a social stigma attached to “whacking” rival mobsters—slaying dragons and whatnot is still sorta “nerdy,” something that good ol’ Cnet says, too. So we’re in good company here.
In any event, so long as we’re on the subject of Mafia games, you can actually win real life money by playing Mafia Payday. I don’t remember how it works, but the guy was on Ron and Fez last week talking about it. So, again, if you’re into that whole mob “thing,” it could be worth your while.
