Mexico District 4: Alamos

Share:

District 4 of Mexico is Alamos. It is located between Districts 1 and 3 and unlocks once you master the bronze level of District 3. It plays out the same as the last 3 districts and the ratios are poor enough to keep players in South Africa. All the details pertaining to this district are outlined below. Stay tuned for a District 5 walkthrough which will probably be posted tomorrow.


Like the other 3 districts in this destination there are 10 jobs and 5 job images which go with the story Zynga is trying to tell.

Most don’t care about the story as many of them don’t even make sense but the payouts and requirements are what matter. You earn +1 skill points for mastering bronze and silver level jobs, +2 for gold and +3 for ruby level jobs.

The consumables of District 4 are the Play It Safe and the Quiet Time. They can be farmed in jobs 3 and 7 and are required for jobs 4,7, 8 and 10. Like the other districts in Mexico, the jobs which make these items require currency so you need to have Pesos on hand to farm them.

The consumables can also be crafted in the Pasaporte Office as 2 levels (1 star) have unlocked. You can now upgrade to Level 6. The consumable for District 4 cover the first upgrade and the ones for District 5 cover the second. Once you upgrade, it will once again say “This property is fully upgraded.” and many will assume it’s a bug. The next levels won’t unlock until more districts do. 

Here are the requirements and payouts for the District. Only the currency requirements and ratios for the ruby level are shown. The number of consumables are the same for all levels and the jobs that produce them are indicated by a check-mark. The total number needed to master the district are in the bottom row. The ratio for a job not requiring currency or consumable is only 2.098.

9	6%	2.204	-66

In addition to energy, consumables and currency, you also need equipment to do jobs. The job equipment items for District 4, their cost and number required are shown below. Item costs are not the same for all players because it depends on the status of the Abelha Helicopter which is the Brazil District 4 mastery item. The ruby level Abelha Helicopter grants a 10% discount on City Store items from any destination. The required number of items is the same for all accounts and only the costs vary. You can sell items used in previous districts if you are low on currency.

There are 5 loot items which job randomly while doing jobs. If they help your scores today they won’t in the very near future so I wouldn’t concern myself with trying to max on them. The drop rate is too low for it to be an exercise of enjoyment. The superior item will probably help most players but you will end up being mad if you max and when new and better loot is added to the game.

The boss of District 4 is Ricarda Guerrero. So far the boss fights appear to be the same as the ones in Districts 1-3. The only difference I noticed was the drop rate wasn’t as frequent. By the time I ruby mastered the district, I only got her 2 times. Soon many will be asking about the combos and it’s the same as the last 3 districts. Use the links below for more details on how these fights work and the scripts that can help you.

The boss will appear on the map when she is active or in Diablo Mode.


In addition to the achievement mentioned below, you also get a Ricarda Guerrero loot item. Until it’s earned, it doesn’t tell you in the loot window how much the item increases your attack and defense equipment scores. For now we will just go with a lot.

The collection for District 4 is the Mass Destruction Collection. Items drop randomly while doing jobs and you get +35 attack for vaulting it.

There are only 2 achievements for District 4. The Bomba-Dear is granted once you ruby master District 4 and the Guerilla Guerrero once you defeat her 15 times. Since the drop rate appears to have been reduced it will probably be a week or so before we can tell you more. The Bomba-Dear pays +2 skill points and the boss related achievements from Districts 1-3 also paid out +2 skill points [1].

The mastery item for District 4 is the is the Mexican Grey Wolf. When you master the next highest level, you lose the old item. The special ability of this item +3%, +7%, +11% or +15% to the payout of all Mexico properties.

You also get 1 Vault Door per level and these are needed to upgrade the Mexico Bank. If you are at Level 4 it won’t be possible to fully upgrade until you master the ruby level of District 5 since you need 8 of them. Go here for more details on upgrading the Banco Dorado.
