Mafia Wars Jobs Strategy (Advanced)
*This article continues from Mafia Wars Job Basics
Are you ready to think about the experience/energy ratio for Mafia Wars jobs?
The fastest way to level up in Mafia Wars is to maximize experience points gained to energy points expended. What’s that mean? Well, once you’ve mastered a tier, you should focus on the Mafia Wars jobs in the tier that get you the most experience bang for your energy buck.
I’m no numbers whiz, but I took a minute to run the experience/energy numbers on the NYC Mafia Wars jobs. Basically, I divided the experience by energy in order to see which ones yielded the highest experience out for the energy points in.

Of course, jobs yield more than just experience. You’ll want to run certain Mafia Wars jobs repeatedly to get the consumables and loot, regardless of experience/energy. But when you are looking to level faster, these jobs are where the most experience gains are at!
Forgive me for listing the money payout ranges. I love to track money in this game. If experience:energy ratios are close, I like to chase money on top of experience.

| Underboss | Order a Hit on a Public Official | 64/31 | 2.06 | 7-15Mil |
| Extort a Corrupt Judge | 42/21 | 2.00 | 4-5Mil | |
| Muscle in on a Triad Operation | 78/40 | 1.95 | 4-6Mil | |
| Boss | Settle a Beef Permanently | 74/35 | 2.11 | 5-12Mil |
| Travel to the Old Country | 95/46 | 2.07 | 14-23Mil | |
| Take Control of a Casino | 128/62 | 2.06 | 18-25Mil |
So once you’ve got your mastery in, you should settle down and focus on these high yielding Mafia Wars jobs inside each tier if you want to level up fastest.
Please note: These ratios do not take in to account the consumables or prep jobs needed to complete the job. Just look at the stuff you need to do the Poker game and you’ll see what I mean. Those prep jobs suck up your energy, so you may need to look at the low-prep alternatives that have decent yield in that case. And bonuses (high level players in your top mafia, or your promotion in someone else’s top mafia) throw numbers off, too. Usually to the better side of experience output!
That’s a big project to tackle – figuring the energy needed to acquire each consumable and figuring that cost (job setup) into the ratio, and figuring the jobs with and without bonuses. I’m not that much of a masochist! Or maybe I am…we will see if I ever get around to running those numbers.
