The Complete Free Mafia Wars on Facebook Strategy Guide, Tips, Hints and Tricks 10: Reward Points Explained!

Reward Points Explained:

Through out the game you will earn hundreds of reward points. You’ll also be faced with several options on how to spend them. You can earn reward points by leveling or by purchasing them for real money. There are 10 ways by which you can spend your reward points.

1. Crates:

The first option to spend your points on is reward crates. These crates change from time to time, but at the moment they are Colosseum crates. These crates are very expensive but do have a rare chance to drop some decent loot. Unless going for the achievement however, it is not worth spending all of these points on these crates as the drop rate for decent items is just not high enough to warrant it.

Colosseum Crates: (Cost: Godfather Points – 20 = 1 crate or 55 = 3 crates)

Common Items (60%):

Gladius – 24 Attack, 16 Defense weapon.
Roman Mace – 12 Attack, 28 Defense weapon.
Pilum – 26 Attack, 14 Defense weapon.
Puggio – 17 Attack, 23 Defense weapon.

Uncommon Items (30%):

Lorica – 18 Attack, 32 Defense armour.
Parma – 15 Attack, 25 Defense armour.

Rare Items (10%):

Galea -18 Attack, 42 Defense armour.
Chariot – 48 Attack, 12 Defense vehicle.

2. Collectible Loot (Cost 20 Godfather Points for 10)

 There will be three different types of consumable loot available from the godfather, which will change every now and then. At the time of writing this the options are 10 Untraceable Cell Phones. 10 Politico Corrupto or 10 Illegal Transaction Records.

3. Random Piece Of Loot (Cost 25 Godfather Points for 1)
 
 The Godfather also offers and random piece of loot. This changes every week or so and when starting out, you can pick up some decent loot pieces here. At the time of writing this the piece on offer is a Jetski: 40 Attack, 14 Defense Vehicle.

4. Full Energy Refill (Cost 10 Godfather Points for Full Refill)

  This will completely refill your energy bar, it will not add on a full energy bar to what energy you still have available.

5. 10 Extra Mafia Members (Cost 20 Godfather Points for 10)

 10 Extra Mafia Members that can help out on fights, not as good as real people but they still help.

6. +4 Skill Points (Cost 14 Godfather Points for 4)

 +4 Skill points which you can add to any of your stats.

7. Cash (Cost 10 Reward Points for changing amount)

 The amount of cash available changes with your level. This can be quite useful when starting out in Cuba or Moscow if you need the money for items.

8. Full Health Refill (Cost 2 Godfather Points)

 This will completely refill your health from any amount to full.

9. Full Stamina Refill (Cost 10 Godfather Points)

 This will completely refill your stamina from any amount to full. It will not add on to your stamina so you should completely empty it like energy beforehand.

10. New Name (Cost 15 Godfather Points)

  This allows you to change your name. Some clans will require that you do this to add their tag to your name.

  Despite all of these options there are only 4 options that are worth spending your precious reward points on. These are full energy, full stamina, +4 skill points and cash. As stated above, the cash is useful when starting out in Cuba or Moscow and you need items to be able to do a job. The energy and stamina can offer you a lot of experience and the +4 skill points speak for themselves. I would personally recommend only spending your reward points on energy refills and skill points as these are the most useful. Stamina will not provide you with the same amount of experience as energy will and as they cost the same then stamina is useless. You can earn enough money to buy items for jobs just by owning the businesses. If you take over the Businesses as soon as possible then you will have more than enough money to buy the required items.
