The Distillery: Fun With Health

Share:

The Distillery is the fifth property in Chicago.  It unlocks once you mastery the first job in District 4 on the Bronze Level.
The Distillery pays out with a health refill plus a bonus every 8 hours. Depending on the level, your health bonus will be 100%-325%  which is applied to your total health pool.
To collect from your Distillery, look for the "Collect All" button on the Chicago Property Page. Chicago is not on the Home Page (Union Hall) like all the other destination properties.
Here is an image of my health right after I collected on my Level 10 Distillery. If you do the math you can see that my health is now 4,545 + 350% of 4,545.
If you activate your Chicago Crew Taskmaster bonus, you will get double the take on your next collection. This will refill your health plus give you a bonus of 650%.
Here is an image of my health after collecting with my Taskmaster activated.
If you plan on pumping up your health, don't do it right before you are going to level up. Once you level, all the additional health you gained from the Distillery will disappear. You will start the new level with 100% health.
Just for fun, I decided to waste 5 Reward Points and purchased a Double Health Boost. When activated this boost will double your total health pool for 5 minutes. To learn all the details about this health boost and how it works, go here.
The account I used has 6,458 health.
I purchased the Double Health boost and the health pool increased to 12,916.
I then activated the Taskmaster Bonus and collected from the distillery which increased the health to 96,547!
While it's fun and all to get great amounts of health, I can't think of a reason that this boost has a long term use. Sure you will stay alive a lot longer and strong fighters probably have fun with it but it's very temporary. It also allows your enemies who can kick your ass attack you many more times than normal, giving them a greater sense of satisfaction.  Depending on defense statistics, this may help a few players achieve the Bulletproof achievement or get the highest possible hitlist survival time of 2 hours.
The Distillery has made the Family Battle feature even more useless than it already is because it only takes one or two players to jack up their health and the Safe House for your opponents will never appear.

  2. re: The Distillery has made the Family Battle feature even more useless than it already is because it only takes one or two players to jack up their health and the Safe House for your opponents will never appear.

    I have to disagree as it makes very little difference but is a one time fun addition if you need to make a cup of tea during a battle ;-).
    I play with 20k+ starting health so i can boost it to over 150k+ health.My family regularly fights all the top families. the general high health culture in MW does reduce the number of ices. this is only a fun speed bump on your way to icing;-). I do hear rumour that there is a feature to allow health beasts to be iced easier in the future so im very interested in what that might be. something like dbl hit bonus if you used quadruple stam would be great ;-).

  3. It's going to be wasted most of the time because of not being able to collect from individual properties. Which do you do - keep letting all of your properties get robbed to the ground, or collect a bonus when you can't use it?

    Would think they would have learned after Brazil that we want a CHOICE - not just "Collect All". And the individual collect buttons should be on the property page - not in the waste of screen real estate called the "Union Hall".

  5. stupid thing is, after an hour, the health-boost just disappears. I've seen that now a couple of times. Probably another glitch ? Or just something they suddenly came up with because it seemed like a good idea ?

  6. Correct me if I am wrong with the Math, but 4,545 + 350% (or 325%) of 4,545 doesn't equal 16,987. Can someone show me how the 16,987 figure is arrived at please. Thanks.
