The Great Fire Walk Through

Share:

As mentioned previously, the latest Secret District is based in Chicago and called The Great Fire. We are introduced to Jimmy The Torch and he is described as a “loose cannon” who likes fire. This Secret District plays out exactly the same as By The Bookie.


We are given a total of 14 days to completely master this district which includes a Boss Fight. The Boss is none other than Jimmy The Torch.

To access The Great Fire, use the Home Page banner shown above, the Travel Bar or the Chicago Job Page.


There is only one Job Page image and it’s designed to change as you master each level. This time you won’t see any differences between the Silver, Gold and Ruby Levels as it looks like Zynga made a mistake. If you want to see all 4 images, go here. They used the image that was meant to be for the Ruby Level for all levels after Bronze. This will probably go unnoticed by many so I doubt they would fix it. Honestly they have more important things to fix!

Bronze

Silver

Gold

Ruby

Like all of the other Secret Districts, there are a total of 9 jobs and each job has 4 levels of mastery. Below are the job descriptions, requirements and payouts for each level.

Bronze

Silver

Gold

Ruby

You should notice right away that 6 of the 9 jobs require Clams. The good news for those worried about Clam expenditures is there are no job equipment items to worry about. The mastery percentages, currency requirements and experience/energy ratios are listed below. Jobs number 2 and 9 require a consumable.

Job	Mastery	Clams	Bronze	Silver	Gold	Ruby
1	5%	30	1.90	1.97	2.03	2.03
2*	7%	22	2.00	2.08	2.14	2.13
3	8%	--	1.92	1.99	2.05	2.05
4	5%	31	1.93	1.99	2.06	2.06
5	6%	29	2.09	2.17	2.23	2.23
6	9%	36	2.00	2.07	2.14	2.13
7	6%	--	1.92	1.99	2.05	2.05
8	5%	--	1.81	1.88	1.94	1.93
9*	4%	61	2.11	2.18	2.25	2.25

Vintage Lighters are the consumable item needed to complete jobs and can be used as Ammo for the Boss Fight. They are on the Free Gift Page so you can accept up to 250 per day. To ensure you get enough gifts, use the Gift Blaster or the link below to send them to your mafia.

You can also farm Vintage Lighters by doing the first job, Spring Jimmy ‘The Torch’. The job costs 90 energy on the Bronze Level. If you choose this route, farm enough to get you through the Ruby Level.

Vintage Lighters are needed for jobs #2 and #9.

To determine how many Vintage Lighters you will need to fully master the district, divide the percent mastery into 100, round up and multiply by 4. If you don’t want to use your stamina for the Boss Fight, you will want many more.

Job	% Mastery	Lighters/Level	Total
2	7	15	60
9	4	25	100
Total			160

There are 4 loot items which randomly drop from all jobs of The Great Fire. Unlike past Secret Districts, this loot will help more players.




To maximize your loot drops, make sure you have plenty of 2X Loot Boosts and don’t forget to utilize your Lockpick Crew Bonus. You can ask your mafia to send you 2X Loot Boosts once every 30 minutes (up to 5), collect up to 30 per day from the news feeds or put them on your wishlist. Any 2X Loot Boosts that you had from previous Secret Districts will carry over and can be used for this one.

There is a drop down tracker on top of the job page which helps you to visualize how many loot items, 2x Loot Boosts and consumables you have. Once you get 10, 25 and 50 of the first three loot items shown above, you get bonus +5 attack points, +5 defense points and +5 skill points as a reward.

Along the way, you will be plagued by Bandits. For review, there are three types of Bandits. The Job Bandit will steel 80% of the cash and experience from the job that activated him and will prevent you from doing the job again. The Cash and Experience Bandits steal all cash and experience from jobs until you eliminate them or they disappear. They can be eliminated by using one of your Chicago Crew members.

Job Bandit	Cash Bandit	Exp  Bandit
Blocks Job Steals 80% Cash & Exp	Steals 100% Cash	Steals 100%Expereince

What’s odd is the loot items you get for eliminating Bandits are the same ones we get in London [1]. It would be much better to get the loot that is intended for the Secret District. This just makes the Bandits more annoying than they already are.

If you use RepeatJob Brazil/Chicago by Team Spockholm, Bandits will be eliminated for you as long as you have enough crew members. If you don’t, it will pause.

If you scroll to the bottom of the Secret District Job Page, you will find a Boss Fight. Jimmy The Torch works the same way as Carl The Coach did. You can fight him with stamina or consumables and he is only available to defeat once per level. For more details on how Secret District Boss Fights work and instructions for the Spockholm Secret District Boss Fighter, go here.

Jimmy The Torches health increases with each level and is 3,500/7,000/14,000/30,000 for Bronze, Silver, Gold and Ruby.

You can use consumable items or stamina to attack Jimmy The Torch. If you use stamina, the initial cost for each level is 5. The amount goes up by 5 for each attack. It can get costly but the good news is the experience/stamina ratios are over 2.0.

Consumable do more damage and it’s best to use combos. Zynga tries to temp you to pay to unlock the combos but this is a social game so it’s no secret.

The three combos for Jimmy The Torch are shown below.

When you bring the health of Jimmy The Torch to 0, you defeat him and get a mastery item called Jimmy’s Blowtorch. Its starts out with stats of 127/107 on the Bronze Level and improves to 187/137 on Ruby. You can only do one Boss Fight per level. If your account does reset, you can fight the boss again but you won’t get any additional mastery items.





The loot mastery item is a Foam Extinguisher. It starts out with stats of 134/73 on the Bronze Level and improves to 194/85 on Ruby.





If you master all the jobs in a level, it’s not considered fully mastered until you defeat the boss. If you don’t get your mastery popup, don’t panic. Make sure you beat the boss and you will get a combo popup.
