Robbing Strategy

Robbing is now in game for all players! Even my rackets account (which still has rackets) can log in and start robbing. Now that I've gotten to play with it some, here is what I have noticed:


1) The amount of Mafia you can use during a robbery attempt depends on which type of property you try to rob.


For example, look at the Dockyard picture above. The "50" number next to the mafia icon shows how many mafia members I can use during my robbery. What this means is that I will only be able to use my 50 best weapons, armors, and vehicles during a robbery attempt on a Dockyard, even if I have a bigger mafia and more weapons. You will be capped at the number indicated on each robbery.

The more expensive the property, the more Mafia Members you can use. For example, you can only use 2 mafia members to rob a flophouse but you can use 50 to rob a dockyard.



2) Equipment stats and stat points are somewhat additive. This picture was taken on my energy account, which has zero extra stat points in attack, yet I still had a much higher attack score than my opponent. It seems that the total offensive score is calculated by:

(Stat points in attack + score from equipment) * a random multiplier (anywhere from 1-3 it would seem).

Sometimes, I will rob a property with an attack score of 15,000, and then rob the same property and have an attack score of 5,000. The "random" element means that anyone at any point can win a robbery (and also lose one!), no matter how much attack, defense, or equipment you have.



There are a few practical results of this:

1) If you want to rob one of the smaller properties (ones where you can only use a few mafia members to help out), such as a flophouse, the fight comes entirely down to who has the most points in attack (or defense).

2) If you rob one of the larger properties, your equipment score vastly outweighs your stat point score.

3) "Special" loot pieces, especially job mastery rewards and Bangkok faction items, now weigh heavily into robbing.

4) Having a full set of good (but not great) loot is only important in robbing larger properties.

5) Attack boosts help out significantly in small robberies and mean nothing in large robberies.

6) Due to the random multiplier, even the weakest accounts will win some robberies, and even the strongest accounts will lose some robberies. While a lot of people don't like the randomly losing, I think the randomness is a good thing as it allows everyone to progress through robbing (i.e. there won't be so much whining from bad players), and since there is no penalty for losing, it doesn't matter too much if you lose once in awhile.

Here is how this comes into play:

1) My "fighting" account will win every small robbery attempt that it makes. Since I have been slacking on finishing content with it, it loses most larger robbery attempts! Missing out on Bangkok faction pieces and job mastery rewards will significantly impair your robbing ability, even if you have 1000 or more points in attack.

2) My energy account will lose every small robbery attempt it makes, but wins most of its larger robberies (where you can use 100+ members), since I have every special item, tons of faction loot, and all the job mastery rewards.


In short, your ability to win fights does not predict your ability to win robbing events. If you want to win all your robbery attempts, you need 1) all the job mastery rewards 2) about 25 of the Yakuza Assassin Bangkok faction items 3) a lot of stat points in attack.

More Robbing Details and Information

have
So, earlier today a new post was mentioned containing more information on the upcoming re-implementation of robbing. Here is how it is going to work:

When you click on the "robbing" tab, you will be given access to a "grid" of a few properties, from which you can decide who you want to rob.




Couple of things:

1. For robbing properties, you get experience for a separate leveling bar. Level 10, the top level, earns you the title of Grand Master Thief (hopefully you can use that as your profile name) and an unknown reward item.

2. You can earn robbing collection pieces from robbing.

3. Note that the difficulty level of each property is already calculated for you. So when you decide to rob an easy target, you'll probably win 100% of the time, and if you decide to rob a "Hard" target, you'll probably lose 100% of the time. Turns out you won't need to use your brain with the new feature.

4. Also, note that the stamina cost appears to vary from property to property. In the picture above, robbing a casino appears to cost 20 stamina. This may depend on the level of the property, we will have to find out. It's a nice change either way, as spending a few hundred stamina can be a pain. Hopefully the reward for spending that extra stamina matches the cost.

5. Getting new targets appears to cost stamina (note top left of the picture). So if you can't find anyone to beat on the robbing list, it looks like you'll have to spend some stamina to get a new list.

----

While it's too early to make too many assumptions, I can safely assume that robbing will be stamina intensive (20 stamina for robbing the casino in the pic above, and 6 stamina just to get targets). As a result, I'd recommend stocking up on stamina over the next few days if you plan on doing a lot of robbing. The Rebel 2 chop shop car gives +5 stamina for building - considering making one of those each day until robbing comes out

New Mystery Bag Items

The mystery bags got a makeover - same concept, just new items.




In addition to some new items, players can now get 100 Free XP from mystery bags.



Here is what I have found so far:

100 Experience Points
Wishlist Items
Many different kinds of boosts
+5 Free Skill Points
+1 Reward Point
Chop Shop Items
Cricket Cage
Uilleann Pipes (St. Patrick's Day Collection Item)
Shamrock
Luck of the Irish
Green Limo

..and I'm sure there are a lot more items



The unfortunate thing that is a lot of these items are either 1) free gifts 2) easily gotten (chop shop items, boosts, etc).

There are still a few useful items (+100 XP, +5 skill points, +1 reward point), however, it seems that once again the "good" rewards are limited. Nearly everyone's first mystery bag seems to yield 100 XP, and the +skill points and +reward points are fairly rare. However, they're certainly better than nothing! The +5 skill point reward can go very far along with the extra stamina and energy each day from the chop shop!

Patrick's Day Collection and Dublin Derby Event

The St. Patrick's Day event is now live! Here are the details:


Fix the Dublin Derby

There is a new limited time job, and like previous events, there is a 5 minute, 8 hour, and 24 hour option.


Each job has it's own item associated with it:

Blackmail the Judges: Vintage Binoculars (weapon; 14 attack, 23 defense).



Switch the Jockey: Horse Training Whip (weapon; 24 attack, 13 defense)


Steal the Favored Horse: Horse Trailer (22 attack, 16 defense)


For mastering the job (getting 100% mastery), you will get the Winner's Wreath:



Much like Valentine's Day, there is a new collection, the St. Patrick's Day Collection. There are 7 total pieces:

Irish Flag (drops from featured job - simply keep performing the featured jobs until you get the flag)
Green Fireworks (drops from random jobs; any normal job can drop this)
Leprechaun (drops from random jobs; any normal job can drop this)
Green Bowler's Cap (drops from random jobs; any normal job can drop this)
Lucky Pint Glass (drops randomly from fights; any normal fight can drop this)
Pot of Gold (drops randomly from fights; any normal fight can drop this)
Bag Pipes (free gift from friends; can be sent on the free gifts page)


This time, all the limited time jobs drop the Irish Flag (not just the 5 minute job like with the Heart Tattoo). Since every limited time job can drop the Irish Flag, it is unlikely that it will be as valuable as the Heart Tattoo became, although there is a chance this item will be at least worth a high-end loot piece or two.

The reward for vaulting the collection is the Irish Wolfhound (weapon; 48 attack, 29 defense).

Lucky Shot Achievement

For vaulting the collection and mastering off the Dublin Derby limited time job, you can achieve the Lucky Shot achievement.




Find the Rare Dublin Stallion

This item has a very low % drop rate from the limited time job and can also be purchased for Godfather points. It is a horse (vehicle) with 26 attack and 51 defense.


Lucky's Pot o' Gold:

Crew Collections; Prototype Carjacking, Theft of a Drone, and Weapons Shipping Hijacking

A new type of collection has been introduced to the game - the Crew Collections.



Here is how it works:


Basically, you can get collection pieces either by 1) asking for help 2) helping out your friends. However, it is not quite that simple.

Helping a Friend

When you offer to help a friend, you get around 1 hour to "find" the piece assigned to you in the mission. The job that you must complete has an orange timer beside it. The drop i rate is unfortunately very rare. As a result, it can take quite a few job completions to get your item, which can be tough within the hour time span.


Once you find the piece your friend is looking for, you will both get a copy of the item. You can help out 5 friends in a 24 hour period.

Additionally, you have to earn at least 1 piece from each collection before you can call for help on it, so you will have to help out friends who have other collections unlocked in order to get access to all the items.

It would seem that the job that you find the item in appears in the city you were last in, so try to accept this job in the street thug tier.


Asking for Help

When you ask for help, in order to get the item needed, you have to get your friends to help you and then actually have them procure the item within the hour! This will not happen often, since only 5 friends total can help you out and the item drop that they are looking for is pretty rare. However, since you can only call for help once every 48 hours (total, not once for each collection), odds are your friends will at least try to help you out in an effort to earn a piece for themselves.


Sets and Rewards

As noted above, it can be quite tough to complete these collections. It's certainly doable if you spend a lot of time playing and chasing down these collections, however, it does not seem to be much worth the effort at the moment:

Reward for the Prototype Carjacking collection: Koenigsberg S10 (vehicle; 30 attack, 46 defense).

Reward for the Theft of a Drone collection: Military Spy Drone (vehicle; 33 attack, 47 defense).

Reward for the Weapons Shipping Hijacking collection: Fox Hunter (weapon; 48 attack, 27 defense).


As it stands, collecting these items does not seem to be worth the effort given that these are not much better than top-tier loot pieces. If you really want to finish the collections and are a high level player, I'm sure it will be quite easy to trade high-end loot pieces for the collection pieces rather than collecting the pieces yourself.

There River in the Sea

Little information is very surprising that you do not believe

Glory to Allah, the Most CreatingRiver in the Sea
"We'll show them someday soon, the evidence of truth we are all over the world and to themselves, until light to them, that the Qur'aan is the truth. It not enough that thy Lord is witness over all things. "(Qs Fushshilat: 53)



"It is He who let the two seas (adjacent); that is fresh again and the other fresh salty and bitter, and He made between them and the boundary walls that block." (Q.S al-Furqan: 53)

If you include people who enjoy watching TV plans `Discovery 'must know Mr.Jacques Yves Costeau, he was an expert diving oceanografer and leading experts from France. The man, white-haired old man who was throughout his life perbagai dive into the ocean floor around the globe and making film documentaries about the natural beauty of the sea floor to watch the whole world.
One day while exploring the underwater world, he suddenly saw a few groups of fresh water, which is very delicious fresh taste mixed kerana not / do not blend with the salty sea water around him, as if a wall or membrane which limits both.



Peculiar phenomenon dizzy Mr. Costeau and encouraged him to seek the cause of the separation of fresh water from brackish water in the middle of the ocean. He began to think, lest it only halusinansi or khalayan when diving. Any time passed after the incident, but he never got a satisfactory jawapan about these strange phenomena.
Until one day he met a Muslim professor, then he was told it was an odd phenomenon. Professor was reminded of verses of the Quran about the meeting of two oceans ( Ar-Rahman Ayat 19-20 ) is often identified with the Suez Canal. The verse reads "
Marajal bahraini yaltaqiyaan, bainahumaa barzakhun laa yabghiyaan.. .'It means: "He let the two seas meet, in between there are limits which should not be penetrated." And then read a letter Al Furqan verse 53 above.

In addition, in some book of interpretation, the verse about the meeting of two seas but no water mixture is defined as outfall locations, where a meeting between fresh water from rivers and brackish water from the sea. But that interpretation does not explain the following verse from the letter of the Ar-Rahman verse 22 which reads "Yakhruju minhuma lu’lu`u wal marjaan"means" Out of the two Pearls and Coral. "Yet at the mouth of the river is notfound pearls.
Mr. Costeau fascinated to hear the verses of the Qur'an that, beyond admiration to see the magic scenery ever seen in the deep ocean. The Qur'an is impossible compiled by Muhammad, who lived in the seventh century, an era when there was no sophisticated diving equipment to reach remote locations in the depths of distant oceans. It's really a miracle, the news of the strange phenomenon of the past 14 centuriesfinally proved the 20th century. Mr. Costeau would say Wordpress is the real Al Qur'an holy book that contains the word of God, that all abortion is absolutely right. He immediately embraced Islam.

Allahu Akbar ...! Mr. Costeau get guidance through the phenomenon of marine technology. Truthful Almighty Allah. Shadaqallahu Al `Azhim.Rasulullah s.a.w. He said: "Verily the human heart as it will rust the iron dikaratkan by water." If one asks, "Is how to make this carefully clean again?" Messenger of Allah He said, "Always remember the dead and read the Al Qur'an."




If you are a diver, then you should visit the cenote Angelita, Mexico. There is a cave. If you dive to depths of 30 meters, the water is fresh water (fresh), but if you dive to depths of more than 60 meters, the water turns salty water, then you can see a "river" at the bottom, complete with trees and foliage leaves.

Half reviewers said, it is not normal river, it is a layer of hydrogen sulfide, it seems like a great river ... is not it? Look at how great the creation of Allah SWT.
