The Black Market Mission is based mostly in New York. There aren't any complicated tasks and the jobs don't require much energy. This was one of the easier Missions excluding the fact that there are a total of 9 parts. To get started, look for the Mission on your Home Page Module.
Part 1Little Sister
If you have Manila Envelopes left over from prior Missions, the first task will be completed for you.If you don't have extras, ask your mafia for them from the Mission Page to generate a news feed post.
Now do the New York job "Run Illegal Poker Game" located in the Enforcer Tier 20 times.
You need 20 sets of Tokens and 20 Sets of Cards to do each job. If you're out scroll to the bottom of the Enforcer Tier page and do the jobs to make more.
Collect on your Office Park from your New York properties 2 times. Office Parks can be collected on every 12 hours. There are no loot rewards for this part of the Mission.
Part 2
A Little Theatrics
The first requires that you lot 15 Gold Machine Pistols.There are two ways you can get them. One is to go to the Associate Tier in New York and do the job "Jewelry Store Job".
You can also get them from robbing in New York.
Now you need to get 15 Bulletproof Trenchcoats.
You can get them by doing the New York job in the Cap Tier called "Loot the Police Impound Lot".
You also find that they drops from fights done in New York.
Now take out 12 Intimidated Mobsters from the New York Fightlist. Each Mobster costs 5 stamina to attack.
You get 3 Fume Proof Masks for completing Part 2.
Part 3
Helping Handguns
Helping Handguns
Buy one item from your Black Market property in Brazil. There is a 23 hour timer so plan accordingly.
Now fight 16 opponents. You have to be in New York as fights in other destinations won't count. A Power Attack fight will count as 5.
The loot rewards are 2 Razorbacks.
Part 4They Never Listen
Whenever I see "Get Support From Your Mafia", I cringe. These are the worst. Use the Mission Crew Link bookmarklet to make it a little easier. This was bugged on the last Mission so even Team Spockholm couldn't help us. Seems to be working fine this go around.
Collect from your Restaurant property in New York 3 times. You can collect on your Restaurant once every two hours.
Clear 3 robbing boards to finish this part of the Mission. Robbing from any destination counts.
The loot rewards are 3 Chimney Sweeps. This would have been really cool about 2 months ago.
Part 5
The Right Track
Part 5 is easy, just win 10 fights and loot 7 Drug Shipments. There are no loot rewards.
Part 6
Ambush Awry
Ambush Awry
Build two items in your Weapons Depot. There is an 18 hour timer between crafts.
Ice six opponents and then do the New York job "Dispose of a Body" from the Consigliere Tier 15 times.
The loot rewards are two Brigadiers and 2 Wake Breakers. Not too shabby this time.
Part 7
Compound Crashers
Get Support From Your Mafia 4 times. You can use the same link from Part 1 or generate a new one from the Mission Crew bookmarklet or Link-a-Nator.
Take out 12 Human Traffickers found on the fightlist. Each one costs 11 stamina to attack.
Get them by doing the New York job "Whack a Rival Crew Leader" located in the Capo Tier. The drop rate was pretty decent so you shouldn't have to spend too much energy. There are no loot rewards for this part of the Mission.
Part 8
Honor Amongst Thieves
Acquire 20 Sets of Illegal Transactions. You can get them from doing jobs or fighting. Zynga prefers that you do the job "Muscle in on Triad Operations" located in the Underboss Tier. This job costs 40 energy per click.
I don't know about you, but I would rather spend 27 energy per job and got most of mine from the job "Steal Bank Records" located in the Capo Tier.If you don't want to spend any energy, you can also get them from fighting in New York.
You can kill 2 birds with one stone by doing Tasks 2 and 3 at the same time. Rob 12 Pawn Shops in New York.
While your robbing, look for Reinforced Bowlers.
You need to collect 10 of them and they drop from robs in New York.
Now do the job "Ambush a Rival at a Sit Down" located in the Underboss Tier 15 times.
The loot items rewards are not so great for all the work Part 8 required. You get 3 Harpoon GT's and 5 Red Scorpions.
Part 9
Judge, Jury, and Executioner
Zynga loves to throw in the Italy Port. So far this Mission has had nothing to do with Italy but we need to buy two items from the Port. There is a 23 hour timer between Port purchases.Declare a war one time. It doesn't matter if you win or lose the war, you just need to declare it.
Finally, take out 15 Ring Overseers form the fightlist. each Ring Overseer costs 15 stamina to attack.
When you complete Part ( you get the Grand Prize loot item called a Widow Knife. It has stats of 53/150. You have a little over 8 days to complete this Mission and get yours.

ReplyDeleteThanks but no thanks zynga. I'll simply amass war loots w/o even moving a muscle so ciao to another PHAIL event.
If this Ice event goes on for a week there's no way I'll be able to complete this event because, I guess since I'm not participating in the Ice Event the game has not registered any of my ices since the event began. I'm stuck on the level that requires 6 Ices. Don't see how I'll get all the other levels done in one frickin' day once the event ends and I can Ice again. Excellent planning Zynga.
ReplyDeleteThis moment you have only one story on the main page. It's amateurish nad unnecessarily. If creating such a long post, I would recommend you to split content using the jump break, viz. http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=154172
ReplyDelete78 times to do the job to drop the broken arms. I'd say that was spending a lot of energy.
ReplyDeletedon't think i will be doing this 1 then. too much time and energy. how many parts was it 9 or 10 ? in 8 days!!!
ReplyDeleteeasy peasy... i'm allmost done with it :D considering all things...
ReplyDeleteIts been no trouble to do both the ice event and this mission, have 7days left and on the last item of needing to buy 2items from the port. I'll wait it out instead of wasting rps and get back to icing.
ReplyDeletePart 3 - fight 16 opponents - Doesn't have to be in NY. I did it in Brazil
ReplyDeleteFirst, much appreciate the walk-thrus you post. Makes planning my collections, etc much easier.
ReplyDeleteSecond, can I make a suggestion? Can you code your embedded images to not open in the same page? Maybe use a bit of java to explode a thumbnail upon mouseover? I remember having that code on one of my first websites back in the mid 90's.
Drives my nuts to have to either click "back" to view the rest of the article because I opened an image by simply clicking it or by right clicking the image "open in new tab", etc.
Zynga'd again.... I have done the whacking job 163 times, and only got two broken arms so far.....
ReplyDeleteZynga'd again.... I have done the whacking job 163 times, and only got two broken arms so far.....
ReplyDelete---- this is the best comment I've read today! 2 broken arms for whacking 163 times! hahahaha!!!!
the get broken arm job took a bit of whacking for me as well before I reached the happy ending. ;)
ReplyDeleteOther than that the missions went smooth and I right now at 7 hours to buy second port item and complete it all. This will getting in more than a 100 ices a day for the family icing event.
