Mafia Wars Energy Management Made Easy

Mafia Wars is undoubtedly one of the most popular games on many of the social networks including Facebook, Myspace, Tagged, Yahoo, and even the iPhone. Zynga boasts of over 5 million players daily. Out of those 5 million plus players most of them have one thing in common. They do not know how to manage their energy for maximum efficiency.

Energy is the lifeblood of every Mafia Wars character regardless of type. Without energy you simply cannot level quickly. Many players have trouble managing their energy pool and spend more time waiting for energy to replenish than they do playing.

When you first start working your way through the tiers you will find that getting them completed up to level three can be difficult. With effective energy management you will be able to level much more quickly and thus you will spend more time playing and less waiting.

Here is some great advice on effectively making use of the energy that you have.

Use An Energy Calculator

There are a number of them out there and they can be found by searching Google for “Mafia Wars tools” or something similar. Energy calculators are handy little javascript applets.

Energy calculators will display the experience provided by each job in a form such as 1.5, 1.8, 2.0, etc. as well as tell you what average number you need to level. You can find it right beside your blue starred experience bar at the top right of the screen. If the number beside the word “experience” says 1.235 for example, you will need to complete jobs to average at that number to level.

One great advantage of an energy calculator is that you can click the button at any time during your leveling to see exactly what you need in order to level. This way you can intermix higher value jobs with lower ones to farm the necessary consumable items such as blackmail photos, untraceable cell phones, illegal transaction records, and more. This will ensure that you maximize your ability to level while getting the hundreds of consumable items that you need.

There are many handy little gadgets that you can use in Mafia Wars. There is a gadget for just about everything that you can think of. Some of them help with property by purchasing as many Mafia Mike’s as you can with the click of a button, others add mafia members quickly and easily. Those are all very nice and help save time but my vote for the best type of gadget is the energy calculator.

At lower levels and easier tiers you can do the math in your head but believe me when you get to the higher levels you will need some automation. My advice is to start out from day one using an energy calculator. It will make your life much easier and you will pull less hair out.
