UPDATE: This was too good to be true. It will now cost 35 reward points to unlock the Smuggler’s Haven. The loot items also changed status to non-giftable.
There is great news for players who never got a chance to complete the first Secret District. The Smuggler’s Haven was re-released and will be available for a little over 7 days. The best part about this is we don’t have to pay to gain access. I hope this isn’t an oversight on Zynga’s end! If you need a review of this district, a complete walkthrough can be found here.
I’m not sure what is going on but I was able to access Smuggler’s Haven and my energy account says it will unlock in 7 hours. The only difference is my main account has 100% mastery. Something tells me there will be problems ahead.
Who could forget the commical nerfs associated with the original. We went from having jobs with ratios of 4.76 to 2.42 and finally to 2.23 (1), (2).
The current Secret District in Chicago will be around for another 2 days. There are now 2 Secret Districts on the Travel Bar.
The consumable item needed for 3 of the jobs is the Life Saver and it is back on the Free Gift Page.
You will pick up where you left off when the timer expired. If you fully mastered the district, you will get the opportunity to gain additional skill points by collecting 50 of 3 loot items. You will get credit (and the bonus) for any items you acquired during the first go around if they are still in your inventory. If you are silly and use reward points to buy these items, you will notice that they are 10 reward points instead of 35.
The first two items are less than the gifting threshold so they are giftable. If you are low, ask a friend to send you some. I send 72 Army Cargo Carriers to myself from an alternate account and was given credit for them.
If you have all the loot and fully mastered Smuggler’s Haven, the job “Help Defend The Haven From Police” offers a 2.23 experience/energy ratio.

ReplyDeleteSmuggler's Haven - Locked unlock now for 25 RP
ReplyDeleteNerfed again! Had free access earlier today and enjoyed burning energy points on the 2.23 ratio job that actually pays real. Went back after level-up and says locked - pay 35RP to unlock. Thanks Zynga!
ReplyDeletecannot access the 15 skill points cause they are all checked? So live chat says Zynga: "Do you have any option in the Smuggler's Haven that allows you to reset the counter of the items required to get skill points?" Me: NO.... I mean really a reset button? Really how silly are they I mean Zynga does not even know their own game NEVER have I seen a reset button in mafia wars. RIP OFF stay away.
ReplyDeleteThe Army Cargo Carrier is not giftable anymore either.
