When the Mission Collection was first added to the game, I showed you how to use Stream Helper by Team Spockholm to scan for missions and select the ones you wanted to participate it (1). Team Spockholm has just made that task a lot easier by adding a menu so Stream Helper will only search for the missions that you want to do. Simply check the missions box and a menu will drop and select the mission you want to do. They even added the collection piece next to the mission name in case you forgot which mission offers what piece.
There is also an option to look for Mission Rewards in your news feeds. This is nice but the problem is most of the rewards are already taken by the time you get to them.
In both of these cases, you still have to manually go to the link to get the job(s) done. When Stream Helper is finished scanning, click on the yellow "Mission" or "Mission Rewards" and the links will appear.
I still need a Sniper Scope so I selected the mission Bribe a Contract and went back 3 hours. 7 of these missions were found. I was able to get in on 3 of them because the rest were already filled up.
The best part about Zynga adding the addition to allow non-mafia members of the initiator to help is that I can request help for these missions that probably won't go anywhere unless I do. Arun has updated Mission Owner to supply the link I need to post in my new feeds. Use the Mission Owner bookmarklet and look for the Mission Invite Link.
Right click on this link and select Copy link address or Copy link location depending on what browser you are using.
Normally you could just copy this link on your Facebook profile page but Facbook isn't liking long links right now. Your options are to make a post and paste the long link into a comment or go to a small link generating service and convert it. I used tinyurl.com and made my large links small by pasting the link into
I posted the three mission invites to my wall and within minutes all 3 of my missions were complete.
I was excited to collect my rewards but I didn't have any luck. There was no Sniper Scope in sight and all I got was a bunch of crap.
If you don't want to go through all of this than there is still hope. Tarra, one of my readers, sent me the image below. She got a Sniper Scope from the Daily Take.
For instructions on using Stream Helper (1) and Mission Owner (1), click the links. If you don't want to use bookmarklets but would like to have your mafia help you with uncompleted missions not managed properly by others, I have outlined a way to do that manually (1).

Make sure MW is visible in your news feed.
Then reload the game and try again.
this appears no matter what i look for.
@Anonymous, I linked all the places to find the helping tools mentioned at the bottom.
ReplyDelete@The other Anonymous, try blocking Mafia Wars (accept your gifts first), then unblock. You'll need to set up the permissions again. Always run from a freshly logged in game. If you have the game already opened, 95% of the time it won't work. Close it out and open it up again, unframe and try again.
@ anon 9:39 AM-try increasing the time from 4 to 6 seconds to 6 to 8 or even 8 to 10. i find that if i leave it at 4 to 6 it won't work but if i go higher it will.
