Grab Bag – Pick Your Own Bundle

Run Forrest Run. Run and pick your own bundle of loots, crates, skill points, or any combination thereof 3.

As you can see in the above screen shot you can get 3 loot items for 72 RP. That averages out to 24 RP per loot. Yes, it is better than the normal 35 RP per loot item. Since the stats range from 175 Att/Def to 179 Att/Def I guess this option is ok.

You could opt to purchase 3 Three Classified Crates for 72 RP. This option gives you 9 loot items in total for an average of 8 RP per loot item.

As you can see in the above screen shot the classified crate loots range from 157 Att/def to 187 Att/def. Remember, the loots that you get from the crates is random from those 8 loot items. You have a chance to get better loot by purchasing this option over the guaranteed single loot option.

Therefore, If you are looking for loot stat scores this could be the better option.

Another option is to purchase, up to, 24 skill points for 57 RP. That equates to 2.375 RP per skill point.

Yes, this option is better than the Marketplace purchase of skill points which averages 3.5 RP per skill point.

But, you can do better. If you wait for the clock to tick down the amount of RP’s required to speed the build timer also decreases.

 

Many players wait for the ‘Build Now for X RP’ button to reach 6 RP before they speed the clock.

In The Weapons Depot this will give you up to 7 skill points if you are building for health and energy or stamina. That is if you build the Dirty Trick or the Electric Prod. If you speed these builds using 6 RP the average cost of RP is 0.86.

If you build the Hack Blade or Stun Knuckles then you can add 6 skill points to your Attack or Defense at a rate of 1.0 RP per skill point.

What many consider the best skill point purchase isn’t exactly a skill point purchase. I am referring to the reallocation of skill points.

The veteran Mafia Wars players already know how this works so this is for the Noobs.

This could be considered to be like a ‘Bait And Switch’ or a simple ‘Switcheroo’ of skill points. Most commonly players build the Warthog in the Private Zoo since it gives you +20 Health.

Then, If you are not a VIP member, you wait for the skill point reallocations to go on sale in the Marketplace. Which has only occurred 3 or 4 times since the VIP program began.

It generally costs 10 RP to reallocate 10 skill points or 50 RP to reallocate 50 skill points.

If you are a VIP member then you can purchase a skill point reallocation once a day (Great way to maintain an even playing field BTW).

Another way to use RP to buy skill points is through the rerelease of secret districts.

It costs 35 RP to buy your way into the secret districts upon any release of them after their debut release. You do acquire an additional skill point for each job you complete while doing the secret districts. If you completely master the secret districts you gain 36 skill points for an average of 0.972 RP per skill point. If you haven’t previously collected the bonus skill points for collecting 50 items you also acquire those skill points.

In summary, the Pick Your Own Bundle sales aren’t worth the use of RP on. That is unless you are a collector and there are items you don’t have yet. If you are looking for Mafia Attack and Defense Strengths then this can be beneficial but remember the skill points ultimately help you more. I would not recommend buying into this sale.
