Nerf & Turf: New Ratios and Loot Stats
Zynga just can't seem to get the exp/energy ratios for the Smuggler's Haven right. Maybe if the people who chose the ratios in the first place and those who updated them played their own game they would have said "Hey something's not right in SmellsVille". Here are the ratios along the way.
This isn't as bad as it could have been. The best job now is "Help Defend The Haven From Police" and has a 2.32 exp/energy ratio. The great part is it doesn't require consumables. The old best ratio was "Intimidate A Local Thug" and that ratio was 2.38. Hopefully they are happy now although I was surprised to see a ratio above 2.2. I hope it wasn't an error as this job didn't change to what it was before. Would they nerf this thing for a third time and make themselves look even worse? We shall soon find out.

To make up for all the bullshit, Zynga has increased the stats of the 4 loot items that drop in the Smuggler's Haven as well as the mastery item. Here is the breakdown.

Here is a closer look at the changes. All of the items you already owned will also be increased so you should see some improvement in your equipment stats. All 4 of the items that drop in jobs are now active in my inventory and the best ratio job costs less energy so the drop rate will most likely show a little improvement as I can do more jobs with my energy.
