I posted the drop rates of the Ruby Level Brazil Loot for the highest and lowest energy jobs in Brazil. I was asked to present the data in a different manner and include more jobs. In the end, it's going to cost about 6,000-12,000 energy per loot item. There are too many variables to even think the runs shown below will mirror your own account and you will need to do some experimenting yourself to determine which job will be best for you. The playing field will be severely unbalanced for a while because there is no cap on how many items you can get. Expect to see amazing equipment scores from players who have a lot of energy as these items are all top dogs. Zisis Alpha of the Mafia Wars Gods!!! has already went beyond maxing out.

I don't have a lot of energy on my main account so I probably won't get too many of these items. It is cool when they drop and will use my energy in Brazil for the remainder of this event. At least the experience/energy ratios are good which should allow me to level more frequently and possibly get a few more of these items.

Thanks for the info. I have found the drop rates to be terrible - 40 - 50k energy spent for only 1 item!
ReplyDeleteCrazy!
ReplyDeleteIt is absolutely clear, that you will NOT need 50k per item. please read!
But I don't like the interpretation of the data. You said that about (!) 10k is needed per item, but the ratios you posted hover between 13k and 6.7k. So there is really no difference? - You spend so much time on doing all the stuff, and that is your conclusion?
You said: "Here are runs from the best experience/energy ratio jobs in each District of Brazil." So - did you really do all jobs in all districts? If you did: did the ration within the districts differ in the same range as they do between the districts?
lol over 500 of the items, only pure energy players who need to only energy not stamina cez get so many, so simply start repeat without a stop before leveling and off you go, while you go to a pub or something
ReplyDelete@anonymous #2, calm down, I based that statement off of what others have shown me and if you look at the number of jobs, none of these runs are a good measure. Its just a rough estimate and the norm seems to be about 10K energy. The data was presented in a different manner in a previous post and I was asked to show it the way I just did. I'm not going to spend hours doing thousands of jobs for something that lasts a week and is most likely random. Players need to try different jobs on their own accounts. There are too many variable to even think this is definitive.
ReplyDeletewell I have used 40K give or take a few and I have a total of 4 items to show for it.
ReplyDeleteIt seem that's the droprate, if people get more, good luck to them.
Seems that Raven and Ruby have the same loot ratio.
This is no fun. Good luck to all of us who don't have hundreds of thousands of energy. Is all very well having 217K eqpuipment, I guess the stamina points are also in the tens of thousands. Mind you it really makes no difference, you're beat by one point, you still lose, does not matter, a win is a win and a loss is a loss, lol
Thank you for doing this, at least I don't feel so bad with my puny 4 items :)
What gets me is that all of the newer event's that MW's have presented lately favor players that are high level players, be it stamina or energy. If you are a lower level ( I am not, am Mid level), you have little hope of getting any of the good loot in this event. It's very discouraging, from the remarks and lost lower level players in my Mafia. I mean seriously.. I have 2645 Energy.. so to have any hope of getting all this loot, I would have to purchase energy. Can they not come up with something that every level player can hope to accomplish and doesn't require RP's to do? Don't give me 2 or 3 RP's when you need 8-10 for a refill. On top of the Raven debacle and Icing family (which, I ended up joining a "family" of sorts, but not one that requires you to be Ice crazy) the only ones who benefit with the best loot are high level or RP players. I admit to feeling a bit put out by all this.
ReplyDeleteI have 7093 energy ATM. Ran that out 4 or 5 if not more times yesterday AND again today! I have 1 Cursed Mask, 1 Arabian Stallion, 1 High Vis Vest, and 2 Road Burns. Wish I could get 100's of these items and be 200k in stats but I don't think I'll even be getting ONE of each the way it's looking :(. Only one that seems to drop them for me is the last job/last district which is 810 energy. I'm done in ALL cities AND I've vaulted the Daily Chance collection, you'd think I would have at least an OK drop rate :/. Poop sauce
ReplyDeleteAre the RUby Level Loot giftable? I was off the mafia grid since Aug 2010 so things are kinda new again to me.
ReplyDeleteThey will not be giftable as of the moment since they are limited edition loots but when the loot scores become obsolete then they might be giftable just like some loots in the 65 att/def.
ReplyDeleteIts taken me most of two days, one night to get 500 of each, last job ( 810 energy ) in last region. I'm about level 11000, and went up 600 levels. About one every 10,000 energy was my average. Because I have not done missions, or gone for any high loot, my stats are, Attack 214,974 Defense 211,922... I've forgotten exactly, but think its about 40 or 50 million energy to get 500 of each... Personally, I do not think it was a good move to make these items mostly very inaccessible to the majority... just my opinion.
ReplyDeletestill have zero of these items & I only spend energy at Ruby level in Brazil. That's probably 100,000 energy over the last few days. Very sad!
ReplyDeleteIt seems that it is now useless to put skills on ATK and DEF and just put it all on Energy. Since with being an Energy Player, spending huge amounts of energy will still get more superior/ultimate weapons. Gone were the days when investing on ATK/DEF skills was good.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous, you have 200,000+ Atk and Def, may I know your ATK/DEF skills?
I only have 1600 Energy because I invested it all on ATK/DEF. I agree with the one who said that it benefits only high level players. The one with very high energy or the RP players. So sad.
ReplyDeleteonly god knows why
ReplyDeletedoes having the brazil crew double loot work at all with this? tia
ReplyDeleteI have 2500 energy and have 7 items, not bad for me
ReplyDeleteBrazil Crew does NOT double the loot! Still searching for the High Vis Vest & Thread 40 Automatic.... Have only gotten the Stailion on Taubate Prison last job. Have gotten all others in Belem, Manaus & Sao Paolo.
ReplyDeleteAny suggestions for the 2 above items? About out of time :((
