Family Gatherings: Mission Walk Through (Parts 5-9)

Share:

My walk through for the Family Gatherings Limited Time Mission ended on Part 4. Here are parts 5-9. I will post this post to the end of the last one so if you want to share a complete walk through or need the details of all parts, go here.

Part 5

Get Outta Here

Do the Italy District 1 job "Discover The Conspiracy" 30 times. This job only requires 40 energy and it was nice to do one of these without needed 1 energy refills to get it done.

The second task " " was auto-checked for me. If you aren't as lucky, you need to ask your mafia to send you. 1 Confidential Records. There will be a "Ask" button right on the Mission Page that generates a news feed request. There are no loot rewards for this part of the Mission. 

Part 6

You Should Have Known Better

Take out 20 Assassins from the fight list. Team Spockholm has a new tool to make this part go faster and when Eike gets to this part of the Mission he will write a post about it. It's quite fitting that this tool is called the Assassin NPC. Coincidence??? If you don't want to wait for Eike to guide you, you can try to figure it out on your own by going to the Spockholm Mafia Tools Beta Page.
Update: http://mwlootlady.blogspot.com/2011/11/assassin-npc-by-eike.html

In order to take out the Assassins, your health needs to be above 20 and you need 4 stamina for each attack.

Ice 30 opponents in Italy. Good luck with that if you fight manually as Zynga has totally jacked up fighting at the moment.

Collect from your Football Stadium 3 times. There is a 18 hour timer between collections so you are looking at another delay in your Mission progress if you don't use Reward Points. I recommend you wait, there are 14 days to finish and you do't get a prize if you are the first one to complete it.

You get 2 Golden Parrots. They look blue to me. 

Part 7

Well That Seems Rude

Win 25 in Italy. This is much easier than getting ices and should take just a few moments. Power Attacks will count as 5 fights.

Do the District 3 job "Deal With The Don's Guards". You really need to read the fine print on this one. Notice it says "Fight Path".

Clicking the "Go Now" button will take you to the Energy Path of District 3. You may get confused and think Zynga made a mistake and start doing the job "Distract The Don's Guards". When you see that you aren't getting credit for doing this job, you may go to Customer Support and waste a lot of time.

Go to the Fight Path and you will find this job. It is a stamina job and costs 72 stamina per click. We need to do it 25 times so make sure you plan accordingly and do't blow all your stamina before getting to this part. 

Part 8

That Was Nice Of You

These tasks aren't very creative and are repeat what we have already seen in this Mission. Win 3 wars. They can be your own or ones you have helped out with if you are the last person to attack.

Win 100 fights in Italy. It doesn't matter if the player is iced or alive. You just need to win the fight to get credit. Again successful Power Attacks count as 5 wins.

The non-player Assassins are back. These cost 10 stamina per attack but we only need to get 5 of them.

When you complete all tasks of this part, it becomes a Turkeypalooza. Rather than create a new Thanksgiving loot item, Zynga went out of their way to search the inventory for all things turkey. Unfortunately, these are our rewards. Old Loot=Crappy Stats! 

Seriously? Why couldn't they have given us something better? Anyways, they forgot 2. The Bourbon Red from our Cider House and the Wild Turkey from last years Thanksgiving Event Don's Diner.

Part 9

How Was The Food?

Do the Italy Region 8 job "Gain Access To Private Villa" 40 times. The job costs 243 energy so you will need to spend some energy to get this done. 9,720 to be exact (unless you get some Top Mafia bonuses).

Acquire 1 animals. If you click the "Go Now" button, you will be directed to the Marketplace but you can get these animals any way you wish. You get credit if animals drop from fights, jobs or robs. The easiest way is to go to any City Store and buy them with in game currency. Since I was already in Italy, I went to that City Store and used Lira to purchase 10 Scimmias. 

Collect from your Winery 4 times. There is a 6 hour timer between collections so this will take a full day to complete.

The rewards are a Chomp Rocket, some Lira and 2 experience bonuses.

The Chomp Rocket is nice as I need to work on my defense vehicle strength.

Who cares about the Lira? Zynga should be embarrassed to even "reward" us with it. There are 2 separate experience bonuses. I got excited once again thinking that maybe one of them would be Family Experience but no such luck. 

It all gets applied to your account.  Here are the screen shots of my experience needed to level before and after collecting the rewards.

With a name like Family Gatherings and a holiday in which you give thanks right around the corner, you would think that Zynga could have given us a nice Family Experience bonus. I held out hope and also ran the Family Experience Spocklet before and after collections. You can see it didn't move at all. Too bad Zynga doesn't want to make their 11K+ families happy for Thanksgiving.
