There are 3 ways to get collection items for the Precious Goods Collection. I have experienced 2 of these and one seems like a myth so far. Collection pieces can be gained when you collect on your properties and when you collect on day number 5 of The Daily Take.
Eventually we should see them show up in robbing. So far I've blown through a lot of stamina trying to get one but have had no luck. This could be because not many players have been able to upgrade their properties and not many players actually own Precious Good items. You can't steal something that doesn't exist. Here is a 7,080 Stamina run in Brazil. Right now the experience/stamina ratio sucks but that should improve as more players built their properties. Notice that the energy and stamina gained from robbing adds up. It's not much but I like this addition. From my robbing results, it looks like players are only upgrading their Refineries and Barracks. This is because of the energy and stamina boosts gained from these properties. With the building parts so hard to come by, this is the best strategy to take. The other properties are pretty worthless so I wouldn't worry about them until your Refinery and Barracks are at Level 10. I have no idea when we will start to see Precious Goods on the robbing boards. For now, try to collect on your properties and Daily Take.

The Guardian Brazil crew member is supposed to stop the precious cargo items being stolen if only is present.
ReplyDeleteonly one*
ReplyDeleteIf players only have 1 of a precious stone, that stone cannot be taken. So we need plenty of people to be collecting every day and then not guarding their stones. With how rare they are right now... fat chance you'll see that soon. Insert picture of that LOTR guy :)
ReplyDeletei actually collected about 20 of them from robbing on the first day of brazil, and vaulted it, but they reset it somewhere along the way. ( i didn't lose the stat points but all my remaining precious goods disappeared.
ReplyDeleteyou were able to get them from robbing because many were dropping inappropriately when the beaches collection in rio should have been dropping. This resulted in players actually having gems available to be robbed :)
ReplyDeleteOn Zynga's 411 regarding Brazil, they do say that these items can be robbed, but one will remain in your inventory (just confirming what Aaron Malfia said). :)
ReplyDeleteI got the pink diamond last night while doing a job in the Manaus region bronze level.
ReplyDeleteThis my first time I hope this works,,,Tired of getting riped off!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't know if anyone recently experienced this but I couldnt get on to Mafia wars and was told my account was "under review." This is especially odd because I don't use a bot and I'm not a part of any clan. Any others get this?
