Yesterday I talked about the drop rate for Armor Parts while robbing
(1). I explained it was difficult to manually rob individual Armories because it would take too long so you were better off just robbing from the board if you don't like to do a lot of clicking. Martin of
Spockholm Mafia Tools was on top of this problem and created a new bookmarklet called Armory Robber. Once you find somebody with an available Armory to rob, Armory Robber will rob it repeatedly for you. Now you can easily utilize as much stamina as you want to gain Armor Parts.
To start using Armory Robber today, follow the steps below. If you are new to using bookmarklet programs, review my articles on
Bookmarklet Installation and
Common Problems.
1. Go to the
Spockholm Mafia Tools Experimental Page and locate Armory Robber.
2. Click, Drag and Drop Armory Robber into your bookmak toolbar.
3. Go to you Mafia Wars game and from your bookmark toolbar click on Armory Robber once to unframe it. All Facebook framing around your game should be gone.
4. Find somebody you would like to rob. There are many options here but I just chose someone at random from my fighting list. Go to their Mafia Wars profile page and click on "Rob".
5. You will now be on their property page. The bookmarklet will only work if they have an Armory available to rob.
If you find that your chosen victim has no Armory available to rob, you need to find somebody else.
6. From the NY Property page of the person you selected, click on Armory Robber in you bookmark toolbar. You will get a pop-up asking you to enter the number
7. Enter the number and hit "OK". At first I thought the maximum number of Armor Parts you could get off one person was 20 (assuming their Armory was fully upgraded) but I tried a run of 50 and learned that there is no cap on the number of times you can rob somebodies individual property. It cost 15 stamina for each robbery so you do need to set the number according to how much stamina you want to invest on getting Armor Parts.
8. Armory Robber will start doing it's thing and will let you know when it stopped.
I checked my inventory before and after I ran Armory Robber. Out of 50 Robberies, I gained 37 Armor Parts.
The reason I didn't get 50 is because you don't always win every robbery you do even if you are stronger than the person you rob.
One more thing to consider is if you rob away from the property robbing board, you don't gain any progress in Robbing Mastery. I probably robbed about 150 or so Armories while testing out this bookmarklet and my robbery progress bar stayed the same.
If you find yourself short on Armor Parts and want to build your MNU Suit to get +10 Health, using Armory Robber is the way to go. You will need 42 Armor Parts a day and your fully upgraded Armory will only give you 20. Using Armory Robber will quickly get you the Armor Parts you need without having stall your Armory timer.
would be nice to have this for the weapons depot.
ReplyDeleteHope this doesn't get abused ! ! ! !
ReplyDeleteThe next you get from zynga is ops you have reach 10 robbing to day come back in 24 hrs and do some more robbing
ReplyDeletehaha i robbed someone for 300 parts sigh didn't think it would let me do that... Im assuming zynga will eventually stop this and i will no doubt get reported sigh
ReplyDeletegood add ons as usual thanks everyone concerned in its development esp the spockholm gents
ReplyDeleteCan we suggest a Weapon Depot Robber too? Would be good if he comes up with that.
ReplyDeletehm kinda running wierd in chrome went through the steps but no finall status howmany parts etc
ReplyDeleteI can only run it once on a person, then it refreshes and says there are no other properties available to rob. Is zynga already working on preventing this or do I have a problem with Chrome and Mafia wars?
ReplyDeleteI can only surmise people will use this respectfully or, revengefully and not take advantage of it the new bmlet. I do see a bit of trouble from abusing this bmlet should it, fall into the wrong hands, by the same token I've lost loot and weapon items and have no idea where ??? it truly, does puzzle me. Is there a security measure for those utilizing this new Robbery bmlet? While most of us are deleting those using the Cheater Bar, groups etc we have this new Robbery bmlet !!! I only hope there's a guard against this ... Please advise. Thanx
ReplyDeleteI can only run it once on a person, then it refreshes and says there are no other properties available to rob.
ReplyDeleteI have been robbing a level 20 account of mine, just have to log in once a day to collect. seem better than robbing some random person 50+ times.
ReplyDeleteIt sucks, after robbing 1 time, it refreshes and MW gets reframed.
ReplyDeleteit only works in firefox
ReplyDeletetried this BM and it is too slow - far quicker to rob/refresh/rob manually
ReplyDeleteFor those with concerns about "Abuse", if this bookmarklet is ran on an Armory that is NOT READY to rob, it wil lstill give you the parts while not making the "victim" lose any parts or suffer in any way, he won't even know you were there.
ReplyDeleteI would avoid using it on someone's armory that is ripe to rob just for "fair play's" sake. After all, the purpose it to loot armor parts, not to harm anyone. Also, you will only be able to loot 20 parts from a "ripe" armory then would have to move on to another one, so might as well find one of a low level with the countdown timer still on and unleash it 50-100 times or so, and have a cld one while it's doing it's work !
it works on Firefox but not Chrome for me. also if you change the letter at the start then you can rob for car or weapon parts too.
ReplyDeleteIT there any robber tool for weapon depot ?? Thanks..
ReplyDeleteDoes not work anymore, Zynga fixed the glitch..
ReplyDeleteThe tool you created sounds fantastic and I am sure a lot of people will use it, but I have a question concerning your example. In your example you talked about buying the item to get extra health and I have been led to believe that you do not want your health to go over 400 because if you have a high health stat then if a stronger person attacks you then you are more likely to drop strong items because you are staying alive longer. Can you tell me what the optimal health stat would be?
ReplyDelete"If a stronger person attacks you then you are more likely to drop strong items"
ReplyDeleteI could be mistaken, but I was under the impression that the loot that "drops" while fighting does NOT come from the person you were fighting. It's just some random loot. I would really love clarification on this.
