Mafia Wars Stat Reallocation Mafia Wars has introduced a Stat Reallocation feature that will be available for players for a limited time only. This feature will allow each player to remove skill points from one stat category and apply them to any of their other stats. If you have ever wanted to change the balance of your stats, now is your chance. Q: When will this feature be available? A: This feature will slowly be available to players starting on 05/18/11. As with many of our features, Stat Reallocation will initially be rolled out to a limited audience. Q: Why are new features slowly released to a limited audience? A: Each time that a new feature is launched, it is imperative that we ensure that it does not cause instability within the game. By slowly releasing each feature we can ensure that our players will get the maximum enjoyment possible. Q: How long with this feature be available? A: This is a limited feature and will only be around for a short time. Q: What is stat reallocation?

A: There are five separate categories that you can apply your skill points to:
Q: What are the original starting values for each stat category? A: At the beginning of the game, each player is given a starting point for their stats to get them started. Because of that the original value can not be reallocated. Listed below you will find the minimum values that each category must maintain.
A: The number of skill points that you have chosen to reallocate will be placed back into your loose skills, which are located on your profile page. In order to distribute those skills you will need to go to your profile page and select the stat category that you want to apply them to. Q: How many skill points will I be able to reallocate at a time?A: There are two categories of skill point allocation. You will be able to move either 10 skill points or 50 skill points. Q: How many times per day will I be able to reallocate my points.A: You will be able to reallocate your stats once per day per category, which means you will be able to move 50 skill points once per day, and in a separate transaction you will be able to move 10 skill points. Q: Is there a cost for this?A: Yes. To reallocate 50 skill points will cost 50 Reward points. To reallocate 10 skill points will cost 10 Reward points. |

it sounds like limited time offer for buying extra 3 skill points for 5RP in Italy and 17 skill points/6 sp for 20 RP/10 RP in New York. :) Good offer.
ReplyDeleteuhm limited and lame woud say why woud i give 50 rp to remove 50 skill points from somwhere and add it to a other place when i can just buy new skill points with the 50 reward points
ReplyDelete50 reward points would only give you 12 skills points. That is why it is useful
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be gone already!
ReplyDeleteanother zynga money grab.
ReplyDeletegone already. glad i didn't stock up on rp's. another good idea implemented such that it made no real difference to anyone's character. z must have an incredibly short attention span.
