Conspiracy Mission Energy Requirements

Share:

If you read my Conspiracy Mission Walk Through, you know that completing it is going to take a lot of energy. I was curious to know just how much so I went through the tasks and calculated an approximate number.  There are a total of 8 tasks requiring you to use energy. In one of these tasks you can use the low energy New York jobs so I didn't include it in my calculations. I spend under 50 energy to acquire 8 Huntsmen. Players choosing jobs that require more energy will spend more.

Part 8 Task #1
8 Huntsmen
Energy Cost: Varies
Three of the tasks require that you do specific jobs to loot certain items so there is no way to say for sure how much energy it will take. The numbers I used were from one account and we all know not all accounts behave the same way. I used RepeatJob by Team Spockholm and stopped it as soon as the last required item dropped. Here is the data from the three runs.


Part 1, Task #3
18 Wooden Crates
Total Energy: 5,346
 Part 3 Task #2
15 Hit Squads
Total Energy: 13,284
 Part 7, Task #3
25 Wooden Crates
Total Energy:  58,320
The rest of the tasks requiring energy are straight forward. We are told how many jobs to do to complete each task.


Part 2, Task #2
25 Jobs
Part 4 Task #3
25 Jobs
Part 5 Task #3
25 Jobs
Part 9 Task #2
40 Jobs
To sum everything up, the chart below outlines the total energy costs to complete the Mission. Accounts that haven't mastered the required jobs on the ruby level will require less energy. Energy costs assume that a players Mastermind gives a 10% reduction in energy costs and will be lower for players who get Wheelman bonuses while doing these jobs. It will take approximately 144,450 energy to finish the Conspiracy Mission.

It will take approximately 144,450 energy (or 249 Reward Points) to finish the Conspiracy Mission. All you get for doing so is one loot item (2 if you complete the Bonus Mission). I think it's backwards that we get 12 items for completing Gifting Events which require very little time and no resources. With 14 days to finish, this shouldn't be impossible for players with average energy pools. It was bad timing to have a Secret District going on at the same time so some players will have to choose. New players (if there is such a thing) will probably feel overwhelmed and give up.

  1. Why are you posting ways to do things that can get a persons account suspended?

  3. Shaddup, dumbass. MWLL is one of the best informational sites there are, scripts or not. Her assessment helped me evaluate whether or not I wanted to even start the mission. If you don't like it, don't read it.

  4. The hell you talking about, Anonymous #1? What does your colon look like, as you seem to have your head up your ass?

    On topic, I have about 7500 energy, and I still think the energy requirements are utterly ridiculous. I can't for the life of me figure out their reasoning. Sure, some people say it's to sway people toward spending reward points, but honestly, you're better off buying those 35RP items from the marketplace, or better yet, just ignoring this event all together. The designers are retarded. They're just calling it in at this point. "What, mission jobs? yeah, uh, 25 times. That sounds good. Why 25? Cuz, uh, I did your momma 25 times, hehe, yeah." Stupid.

  5. this mission insults my intelligence. I can understand tough missions that might tempt folks to spend some RP for GOOD rewards but this is just an OCD trap since all you really get for completing the mission is ,,, well completing it. Stupid and this is indeed the kind of thing that will have me fade away from mafia wars.

  7. Point is a few blog posts down is talk about how using automation can get you banned/suspended. A lot of players think that the info posted here is 100% in Zynga's rules. Using automation is a clear violation of those rules. At least post a warning that the use of the scripts MWLL uses and talks about can get a player in trouble.

  8. If the things I post could get your account suspended don't you think mine would have been a long time ago? People who believe otherwise have issues with deductive reasoning and are probably under educated. The only thing that will get players in trouble is abusing scripts or using scripts that generate too many server requests. Those are the scripts Zynga doesn't like. If you are abusing them, you know who you are. Using the harmless scripts outlined in my blog posts for the sole purpose of clicking for you won't hurt anybody.

  9. On the bonus mission with 10 days to go. I have 4k energy and 3k stam. And I don't have a problem with this mission. Since I've done everything the energy cost don't matter really... People that want to quit over this are idiots. Remember that one with the 50 kills? That was a real challenge which I enjoyed!
