Those of us who have been playing Mafia Wars for a while are no strangers to Challenge Missions. Staten Island is the 7th one we've seen. First there was Paris, followed by London, South Africa, Mumbai, Dublin and 50,000 Feet. Each one required a unique consumable item. A common question many are asking is what are you suppose to do with all your extra consumables? They aren't giftable and once you finish the challenge, they are totally useless. You can still do the jobs until the timer runs out but that wouldn't be very smart as the experience/energy ratios are terrible and you won't gain any loot items. Many fighters are finding they have many left over Ferry Passes because you get one per ice. Thomas has completed Staten Island and 1,884.
Many are left wondering what's going to happen to their Ferry Passes once the event expires. The answer is simple, nothing. The sit and collect dust in your inventory like all the other useless loot items. You can't get rid of them so you just have to accept they are there serving no other purpose than to take up pixel space. Here are all my past Challenge Mission consumables. They can't even be used in Trader Goh's Pawn Shop, but does anybody ever utilize that feature? If they would lose the Reward Point requirement and update all the loot so it will help our stats, we probably would.

lol... LOVE the "hah! don't even think about it!!" nothing is ever given away by zynga... lol
ReplyDeleteYea you got a point on that. Zynga must do something about it!
ReplyDeleteWhat I found really confusing was the amount of Moscow consumables I continued to drop from robbing even though Moscow was closed!
ReplyDeletei don't buy reward points, i mean it's a game, and that's well sort of a cheat i reckon, but as for trader goh, i visit him all the time, great way too get rid of junk for something half good, and really reduced price too... using the ferry passes thou.. i suggest you don't accept them till after the event has finished. you'll probli get a boost or loot item, as the pop up will say 'this event has finished, have a ------ instead' thats what happened too me with all previous one's so cant see why it won't now also.
ReplyDeleteLove It!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou're Hilarious!

Jennifer, you know what else needs to be updated? Fight club loot!! With the introduction of FHEL 5, the fight loot has become obsolete!
ReplyDeleteI CAN USE SOME FERRY PASSES IF ANYONE CAN SPARE SOME.
ReplyDeleteThe Ferry passes are giftable... or at least they have the gift icon next to them - even in your own screen shot :) Just saying - haven't tested it out.
ReplyDeleteIf you need to level up, and have passes left, these jobs actually have good XP-ratios. Last one pays at rate 2.33, you can't find any energy jobs that pay that well!
ReplyDeleteAnyone noticed Ferry Pass can be given away
ReplyDeleteNO THEY AREN´T GIFTABLE EVEN HAVE THE ICON, IF YOU CLICK ON IT IS LIKE SENDING ON THE GIFT PAGE
