In order to upgrade your Armory and Private Zoo from Level 10 to Level 15, you will need a total of 80 and 70 of 5 parts for each property bringing the total number or parts you need to 750.
Here are the totals from modified images found on the
Mafia Wars Wiki Armory Page and the
Mafia Wars Wiki Private Zoo Page.
You can find all of the upgrade items shown above on the Link-a-Nator. They are all working at the moment. Get as many as you need by using the Get-a-Nator. The maximum number of gifts you can accept in one day is 200 so it will take a few days to fully upgrade if this is the only method you plan on using.
All New York property upgrade parts are on sale right now. They play it up as if 3 parts for 2 Reward Points is a big deal. Normally they are 1 part for 1 Reward Point. Why not a 2 for 1? Now the minimum you have to spend is 2 Reward Points instead of 1. If you review the new loot items you can get with the upgrades
(1), there really isn't anything that great that would make you want to rush this. Never look at the stats of buildable loot items, special abilities (skill points) are the only thing that matter.
If you're OCD, can't wait the 3 or 4 days it should take accepting Free Gifts (or you worry Zynga will nerf the links) and you have an energy account with Reward Points just sitting there, you can buy the items you need and gift them to yourself.
If you do this, you need to be careful that you don't upgrade your energy accounts properties. Go to the property you need parts from and click on the individual "Buy" buttons to purchase the parts you want. Don't click on the "Buy All Upgrade Parts" button or it will automatically upgrade your energy accounts property. Also make sure you send the unused items to yourself before you buy enough items to upgrade to the next level or it will automatically be done for you. This is a tedious process and waiting a few days is recommended over this method.
Another way to get parts is to send them to your mafia members. When you do so, you get one in return. Look for posts that say "Send Parts" and go for the ones you need.
Use Stream Helper to help with this process.
There are plenty of extra parts out there so put them on your wishlist or go to one of the
trading sites listed on this blog to get what you need. Don't forget you can also get 5 parts from each property a day by asking your mafia for them.
I was lucky and one of my favorite mafia members helped me out and sent me the items I needed to finish upgrading.
Many players are reporting that all of the upgrade parts they had in their inventory prior to today are gone. If this has happened to you contact
Zynga Customer Support.
Thanks to Adriana Drudik of the
Mafia Wars Gods for helping me get my properties upgraded so I could make this post.

ReplyDeleteBut when we click to send items to our friends it only says "you sent so and so.." and it didn't states that we also get one back or received one..
Do we really received one item which we sent them successfully.
Please do clear..
