Mafia Wars Ten of Hearts and Other Collectibles - How to Get Rare Items

Mafia Wars Ten of Hearts and Other Collectibles - How to Get Rare Items
By Shane McGriever




Mafia Wars is a huge, social game. There are so many different types of playing styles and so many successful players that it almost seems impossible to become one of those players who can knock off his or her opponents with practiced skill and accrue money and items in barely any time at all. Getting rare items and collectibles in this game is tough, but if you go at with strategy and tactics, you can easily start acquiring items for the heart flush collection, like the ten of hearts.
As you advance in the game, you will be given the option to start building collections. These collections ultimately build to give you a bonus of health, energy, defense, attack, etc. The heart flush collection which the Mafia Wars ten of hearts is part of is just one of the many sets you can acquire. If you complete this entire set, you get a +5 health bonus when you add the item to your vault. You can see what bonuses you've acquired by clicking the vault button.
The diamond flush, sculptures collection, and poker chips are also some other sets you can get in this game. If you attain all these bonuses, you will have a leg up when doing jobs and the whole process of getting rare items will be a lot easier. The higher you advance in each tier, the better each boost will be.
In order to obtain the Mafia Wars ten of hearts, you need to complete individual jobs in that job tier - the Associate tier, in this case. You can see what set items you've gotten in the inventory tab. When you have all 7 pieces of a collection, you can claim the set boost. Note that these items can also be given as gifts by other players, so having a large and powerful mafia is very important to success in Mafia Wars.
If you are serious about competing with the big dogs in Mafia Wars, you need a plan of action from the very beginning. The best Mafia Wars players know how to grow powerful mafias, get lots of money, and win every fight they get into.

Progress Check-in: Day 2, level 15 in Mafia Wars

I decided to create a new facebook account with the sole purpose of seeing how fast I could level up in Mafia Wars using the Mafia Wars Blueprint.  Yes I realize it is very easy to just do some google searches for whatever you are looking for and how to get it, like Mafia Wars concealable cameras and illegal transaction records, money, vehicles, weapons, etc.  But I wanted a reputable source I could consult for everything, and the Mafia Wars Blueprint offered that.  It also came with a 60 day moneyback guarantee, so I figured what the heck.  If it's good I'll keep it; if it's not so good, I can just send it back.

Day 2 of playing Mafia Wars and following the strategies outlined in this guide and I am already almost level 16 with over $3 million.  I already have a small but well-equipped mafia and have received gifts of Mafia Wars computer set-ups and other rare loot items.  I have already almost completed several collections and finished the Heart Flush collection after receiving the rare Mafia Wars ten of hearts card.

If there is one thing I have learned from this guide, it is the importance of energy as a resource.  Forget fighting to earn money.  Sure you can fight to get bounties on other players but if you really want to profit you need to focus all your points on energy.  Health is a pretty useless stat, especially following this guide, because you get all the money you need to quickly replenish your health in the hospital.

I will keep updating this blog with posts of my Mafia Wars progress.

Mafia Wars Illegal Transaction Records: What They Are and Why You Need Them

As you advance in Mafia Wars, you will eventually start needing specific items like concealable cameras, blackmail photos, and illegal transaction records.  These are rare loot items that you can only get in specific ways, but you need them to advance in the game. 


Illegal transaction records are necessary to complete top end jobs in Mafia Wars.  The later stages of the game like Consigliere and Underboss will require you to have this item.  Doing the job "Steal Bank Record" in the Capo level is probably the best way to get Mafia Wars illegal transaction records.  You will have to do this job several times until you get enough records to complete other higher tier jobs. 


Another way to get this item is to have it gifted to you by family members or other people in your mafia.  There will probably be players who have records they don't need.  Make a request and often you will be able to get this item or some of the other rare items like concealable cameras. 


Infrequently, you can also get illegal transaction records during fights against other players.
