Family Progression Level 14

Share:

A few days ago, The {ASS} Family reached Level 14 of Family Progression. It’s taken over 3 years to get here and there is still one more level to go. It took 8 months to go from Level 13 to Level 14. Getting from Level 12 to Level 13 took 10 months so this demonstrates how the Family Experience bonuses from Missions, the Mansion and 2X Family Experience weekends has helped speed it up [1].  Details about this level are shown below. As always I would like to thank all past and present {ASS} members for helping us with this never ending feature.


Family Business Missions, the Mansion Family Property and 2X Family Experience offers have really helped with this feature and as demonstrated drastically increased the pace of progress.

In addition to the items mentioned above, the biggest reason for the increased pace is probably the updated leaderboards [1]. Now that everybody can see who is doing the work more players are collecting.

The Family Experience Spocklet estimates that it will take us 320 days to get to Level 15 but it will probably be quite a few months faster.

It’s takes about 2 days to see a 1% increase so in theory it should take about 200 days which would be sometime in April of next year. We are a large family and Zynga is trying but they need to consider smaller families and help more players progress through these levels. Mafia Wars won’t be around forever and many fear the end could be sooner than we would like.

The Level 14 Perk is called Slugger and it offers a bonus on your equipment score and a faster stamina regeneration timer.

The Slugger Perk grants +500/+500 to your mafia equipment scores. The bonus will appear in the parenthesis next to your true equipment scores on the fight page. The Family Progression feature was added to the Family Module in August of 2011 [1]. Back then +500/+500 equipment score points packed much more value than it does today. With average loot scores well over 600,000, this is pretty much a drop in the bucket but nothing to complain about. Levels 2, 6 and 10 also add +500/+500 to your equipment scores so this brings the total increase you can get from Family Progression to +2000/+2000. Family Properties can add up to +10,000/+10,000 so being in a Level 14 family with fully upgraded properties can increase your scores by +12,000/+12,000.  The VIP Membership Program also adds points to your equipment scores and that is where the extra +16,500 comes from in the yellow bonus

This perk also makes your stamina regenerate 15% faster. The original stamina regeneration timers are based on Class. Maniac and Moguls start regenerate stamina at a rate of 1 stamina point every 5 minutes and Fearless character timer is 3 minutes.  Once you master the Hitman Tier of New York it’s reduced by 30 seconds. Perk 10 regenerates stamina 10% faster and the  [1]. I’m a Mogul Class and my timer is now at 4 minutes and 2 seconds. My stamina regenerates 58 seconds faster than it would if I started playing today and didn’t join a family. The Chainsaw Bayonet shaved off 30 seconds and the other 28 seconds comes from Family Progression. With the average levels and stamina pools of todays players stamina produced from regeneration is rarely useful. For more details on Class and regeneration timers visit this Mafia Wars Wiki page.

 The Slugger Perk is often referred to as the last useful perk of Family Progression. Level 15 offers the Demolitionist Perk which increases the damage to opponents by 5% in the Family Battle feature. That’s hardly worth all the years it takes to earn it. Many of the perks offered through Family Progression could use an update.
