Mafia Wars by Zynga - Tips and a little bit of strategy

    Because I didn't play this game much time this is all I can say to help  you!
     
Skill points - you can choose to put your skill points mainly for fighting or you can concentrate on the                      work thing(or of course you can be somewhere in the middle).My strategy was to put
                      my skill points on attack ,defense and stamina but I would also use some points from
                     time to time for doing jobs (indeed not some great ones but at least I could earn some
                      money and XP without any damage )
Protect your money - Try not to have a lot of cash on you , keep them at the bank or invest it in some
                                   properties.
Increase your mafia - As I said in the introduction ,if you need crew for your mafia search on google 
                                 to find people who want to be added,or join the zynga forum , and go at the
                                Add Me section.
Energy packs  - I suggest not to use them before level 80-100
Fighting  - When you want to fight someone look at their stats and see how many fights they lost or 
                 won so you will know how good that player is.               
 

Mafia Wars by Zynga - Introduction

 
                                             
 
     Mafia Wars in another great game made by Zynga ,and I sure that the people who like MMORPG games will love this one.Mafia Wars it has currently over 19 million players and is one of the best free MMORPG online game.
    The goal of this game is to perform jobs to earn money and buy equipment(guns , cars etc.) and properties.As you advance into the game you will also gain levels and unlock new items which are more powerfull.To perform jobs you will need energy which generates one unit every five minutes like CityVille or Treasure Isle for example.
    As the title of the game says , it's all about fighting.You have 2 choices :you can create your own mafia and ask your players to join or you can join a group.If you choose to make your own mafia try to add as many people you can ,if you don't have many friends who play  this game you can search on the internet for people who left the link to their profile to be added by anyone.
   For the beginning just follow the tutorial when you start the game to get used with the basics, and try to invest your money in properties and buy just the items you need to perform certain jobs.

FarmVille by Zynga - Tips




These tips are based on my own knowledge (I am not an expert),and I know there are just a few but they will help if you are a newbie to the game.

-DON'T plant blueberries which take 4 hours to grow if you aren't going to be back after 5-6 hours because after 4 hours they have matured you can't harvest them anymore.After you plant something the time you have for harvesting (before they turn to trash) after they have matured is equal with the time they need to grow.
-Get as many neighbors as you can to fertilize your land often and send gifts (you can add a lot of them from the farmville page on facebook )
-To gain more XP and coins try to complete the quest (achievements) ,and some of them are quite easy
-DON'T buy at the beginning buildings, concentrate on making coins and XP
-Because is hard to get farm cash , please spend them wisely.
-Help your neighbors to get rewards
-Watch for Super Berries in the market ,they are available only one or two days and give you 100coins if you sell them and you can harvest them after only 2 hours

That is all for now about FarmVille , I will update them after I can figure out more tips :)

FarmVille by Zynga - Best buys


     In FarmVille you will have 2 currencies : farm coins and farm cash .With the farm cash (which you can buy with real money) you can go to the FarmVille market and buy special items which are updated regurarly.
Don't know what is best for you to buy? Here is a list :

FarmVille by Zynga - Introduction


   
   If you want to know how it is to be a farmer and not to get your hands dirty while you learn this is the perfect game for you :) . This nice facebook game is made by Zynga and it has almost players.
At the beginning you will be asked to choose a gender and then you can start playing .If you don't have any idea how you can follow the short tutorial .You will learn how u can plant some soybeans and plow the land .The best seeds to plant at the beginning are the strawberries , you will get 35 coins in 4 hours + 1 XP .Here you don't need energy like Treasure Isle , but you'll need coins .
         Now all you need to do is to plow a little , plant some seeds and wait for them to be ready for harvesting.I suggest at the beginning to plant seeds until you don't have any coins ,so at your next visit you will have a little profit.

Treasure Isle by Zinga - Tips and tricks

     Here are some useful tips for this nice facebook game which can help you to advance faster into the game:
-Add as many neighbours as you can and collect gems from their trees everyday
-Once a day , after you finish you energy and don't have any fruits in your backpack try to dig and a pop-up with request an energy pack from your friends will appear,click "Ask" and wait for someone to send you one.
-In the mystery gift that you can send or receive from your friend you can find Island Cash
-If someone sent you a shell for example , click play , get your shell and after that go to your home page, click game request, and you can find another shell to claim.
-The best choice for what fruit to plant in to the garden plot is the watermellon
-Finish every island 100% to get a bonus at the end (XP and coins)

Treasure Isle by Zynga - quests , relics and gates

   The complete a quest you have to finish multiple tasks like asking your neighbours for items, digging 60 times on a map , finding items on islands etc.The number of your neighbours is important because if you will finish collecting the items fast you will get bigger rewards.There are 3 prizes : gold , silver and bronze.The gold prize is the biggest and of course the bronze one is the smaller :) . At every prize you will get some coins and XP.
   Beside the gem gates ,the are three more gates (I hope i didn't forget one :D ):

Treasure Isle by Zynga - The store

     In this tutorial I will show you the best items for you to buy from the Treasure Isle store.As I said in the previous post you can find cash either by digging ,from relics or buying them with real cash via credit card etc.
     At the beginning I would suggest to keep the island cash for upgrading your island.There are 4 types of islands :small , medium , large , grand.The bad thing is that you can't jump directly to the grand island, you have to buy them from the small , medium and so on.As you go far into the game you will need more and more space on your island for your animals , relics etc and if you don't upgrade your island in time , everything will be cramped :) .
    An expensive but very useful item is the garden plot.Is very useful because you can plant seeds in it and after a few hours you can collect your fruits which will give you energy.
    An energy refill (or energy pack) can be bought with 10 island cash ,but remember that you can get one free energy pack  every 24 hours from your friends.
   Gems - you can also buy gems from the Treasure Isle store.You can buy just one gem, you can buy 1 of each gem , a bag with 5 or 10 gems.If you want to buy many gems ,try to buy a bag because it will be cheaper .


End of part 4

Treasure Isle by Zynga - coins and cash

     In Treasure Isle you have 2 types of currency : Coins and Island cash.
     The Coins - You can use them to buy some items from the store, but there aren't so valuable like the items bought with Island cash .Beside the store shopping , you will need the coins to buy items like bug spray, dynamite etc. which you'll need on some islands (dynamite for rocks , bug spray for insects)
     The Island Cash - Well ,every Treasure Isle player would like to have lots of these.The "problem" with the island cash is that you don't find so many by digging.You can find island cash in the treasure chest near your island or at different relics that you are going to build as you go far into the game.
    Note: Try not to spend the island cash on pointless items.My advice : keep them to either upgrade your island or buy gems when you really need them quick.
   You can also buy some Island Cash by clicking the "Add cash" button near the dollar icon .
