Ruby Level Loot Event FAQ
Updated 07/15/2011 at 00:55
Q: When does this event begin?A: This event is scheduled to begin on 07/14/11. As with many of our features, this collection event will be slowly rolled out to our players to ensure stability within the game. Due to the gradual release of this event it may not be immediately available to all of our players. Q: Why are new events always released to a limited audience?A: When we release a new feature into the game, we want to ensure that it does not create instability and functions in the way that it was intended. Although we try to release it to the wider audience as quickly as possible, it is imperative that we make sure that it will not interfere with your enjoyment of the game. Q: Can I manually be added this event if I contact Customer Support?A: Unfortunately our agents will not be able to manually add you to this event. The wider audience of players will be added in a gradual fashion and our agents do not have the means to expedite this process. Q: On what date is this event scheduled to end?A: This event is scheduled to conclude on 07/22/11. To keep you on track there is a countdown timer on the home screen. Q: How will this event work?A: Players will need to collect 7 different loot items that can be found by completing jobs in a district that has been previously mastered to the Ruby level in Brazil. Q: What if I do not have any of the districts mastered to Ruby?A: If you currently do not have any Ruby districs completed in Brazil you still have the opportunity to participate in this event. You will need to complete at least one district to the Ruby level, which will trigger the event. You can then repeat that level (or any others that you complete) to find the Ruby loot drop items. Q: Will the regular loot items drop as well?A: Yes! The drops for this event are in addition to the regular loot drops and will appear in the tray along with your other loot drops. Q: How do I keep track of what I have in my inventory?A: There is a Ruby level loot inventory tab that is located on the right side of the missions bar. When you click the ruby-colored star, it will expand to show you the status of your items. To close this status bar you will need to click the gem again, which is located on the left side when open. Q: Does 2x loot drop boosts apply to this event?A: No. For this event you will receive only a single loot drop for the Ruby mastery item. This also includes the Lockpick Brazil crew member. Q: Is there a limit to the number of items that I can collect?A: There is not a limit to the number of items that you can collect or the number of mastery items that you can trade a full set in for. Q: How do I see the stats for any of the 7 items? A: When your Ruby Level loot bar is open, click on any of the 7 items that you want to view to see the stats and name of that item. Q: Is there a grand prize or bonus prize if I get a full set of Ruby Level Loot? A: No. But if you get all 7 rare gems, congrats! You are a rock star. |

can they be gifted?
ReplyDeletewhat "mastery items"???
ReplyDeleteIs there one particular job that has "better than the rest" drop rates??
ReplyDeleteLimited trial, 12000 energy in Centro = 1 Ruby item.
ReplyDelete10,000 in Taubate = 2 Ruby items.
Any others have similar results?
Yeah, what do they mean by no limit to how many mastery items you can trade a full set in for? Later on in the FAQ it says there is no reward for getting all 7...
ReplyDeleteI seriously think this is the end of the game for me. The thought of all the cheaters maxing out on this loot with their scripts and bots is just too much. As a player who doesn't see the fun in using scripts and bots to cheat, I've just plain had it with this game. Enough.

ReplyDeleteisn't it fooking instability if some 1 get more time to complete it and other get little???
I saw the upcoming unbalance of power in Mafia wars. ATT350K DEF 315K. Some will be lucky to have more and some will be victim of lack of conscious means will not drop as it should.. There should a limit like the xmen.
ReplyDeletenearly 7000 energy done on ruby level and nothing dropped... not even normal loot!
ReplyDeleteUsed around 16k energy on Ruby jobs and not got 1 item - another load of crap from Zynga!!!
ReplyDeletedrop chance is realy amazing... 15k energy = 2 items
ReplyDeleteis it gift able the new ruby level loots???????
ReplyDeleteJust done about 10 x 11,000 Energy runs on Sao Paolo: Taubate Prison, the last job and i got the following - 0/1/2/3/2/4/0 of the collection.
ReplyDeleteI then tried 1 full energy run on the cheapest job from Rio de Janeiro: Centro (54 energy per hit) and NOT 1 thing!
Went back and did 2 more runs on the very last job in Sao Paolo: Taubate Prison and got 2 more items ....
Very expensive trial lol. so in a nutshell approx 140k energy got me 14 items, so thats 10k energy per item!!!
Loot is not giftable. Pure energy accounts that can continuously level up will jump dramatically in their A/D because of this event.
ReplyDelete150,000 energy spent. Got 30 items. The ratio is roughly around 4500 energy per item for me.
ReplyDeleteNot good, not bad.
Need atleast 100 of each. lol. :)
I'm currently between 230-270
ReplyDeleteWell for me those items do not drop at all.... I have spent I think since yesterday evening about 35-40k Energy and did not get 1 single item!
ReplyDeleteWhen does the event start. I've used so much energy and got noting yet WTF.
