How To Find Stamina Packs

Share:

Three days ago, Zynga introduced Power Packs to the game for about 50% of the player base (1).  With concern to the slow roll, The Official Mafia Wars Blog states the following:

*As with all new features, we're rolling out Power Packs and the renovated Hospital to a limited number of players at first to ensure stability. We will release it to the remaining players as soon as we can.

Zynga continues to roll back accounts and nerf game elements all in the name of a "balanced playing field", yet they left many players without Power Packs over the weekend while offering a 2X Fight Loot Event.  Players who have the feature are getting 375% more stamina a day then those who don't. Now Stamina Packs which are different than Power Packs still work.  All players can use one every 16 hours. They are no longer offered on the Free Gift Page but if you find an old one, it will work. There are several options you can try while going on your Stamina Pack Safari. The first is a refined Facebook search. Type "Stamina Pack" in your search bar and scroll to the bottom of the window and click on "Show more results for Stamina Pack".
Click on "Posts by Friends" located in the upper left corner of the page.
You will now get a list of all posts that contain the phrase Stamina Pack. If you're lucky, you will find one with a Free Gift link.  Left click and drag your mouse over the link to highlight it.
Now right click and select "Go to link address".
If the link is still working and it's been more than 16 hours since your last Stamina Pack was accepted, you will get a stamina refill.
You can also go through your pending Facebook requests.  You may have to delete a lot of them to get back to when Stamina Packs were offered.
You can also use the Get-a-Nator by Team Spockholm.  Do a full Facebook feed scan and go back a few hours or so.
I went back 5 and only got one link but one was all I needed.
To create Stamina Pack links, go Hvedeknoppens Link Service for instructions.  The code for Stamina Packs is 492. The more people in your mafia who do this, the more Stamina Packs you will find in your searches.
If you would rather send Stamina Packs to specific players in your mafia instead of posting a gift link, just click on the link below to get the Stamina Pack sending screen (thanks to Rachel for the link).
Slow rollouts really suck if you are on the ass end of one. What makes this one so horrible is that players who have the feature are able to send those who don't a Power Pack.  When the excited recipient opens it, he gets a Mystery Boost.
If you don't have Power Packs yet, all you can do is wait and wonder why Zynga claims to balance their playing field. Try to be positive and know that you will soon get a good thing (unless they decide to nerf it). This guy found something positive about slow rolling.
