Mafia Wars New York: Associate Tier: Levels 5-8

The Associate Tier covers levels 5 through 8. In it, there are X jobs to be completed with three different mastery levels. When you master level one, you earn the title of Associate. With level two mastered, you earn the title of Skilled Associate. With level three mastery, you will earn the title of Master Associate.

Leveling Up

You will hit level 5 when you reach 41 experience points. At this stage, fighting will be unlocked, allowing you to fight with other mafias to earn additional experience points. Level 6 comes when you hit 59 experience points. At this stage, the Home screen will be unlocked. The Home screen allows you to accept gifts from your mafia members, see what items are on sale, see game news, and see your character stats. When you reach 92 experience points, you will hit level 7, and the Godfather screen will be unlocked. The Godfather screen allows you to purchase favor points, and redeem favor points for certain game advances, which will be discussed in the Favor Points Guide (coming soon.) When you hit 155 experience points, you will promote to level 8.

Loot Drops

With some missions, you will have a chance to loot, and the items you get for loot may be needed to complete the other jobs in future tiers.

.45 Revolver

Get this when you complete the Take Out a Rogue Cop job.

Collections

There is only one collection for the Associate tier. The collections give you certain advantages. Items are earned at random through completing the jobs in the tier.

Heart Flush Collection: Collect Heart playing cards from 8 up to Ace. Once you have one of each card, you can vault the collection for +5 health.

Reboosts

Collect all 7 again and re-vault the collection to earn a cappuccino, which will give you -3 energy costs on your next job.

Boss Fight-Confront Detective West

The boss fight will help you build experience points to level up and get a recharge and more skill points. To fight him, you will need at least four people in your mafia, with a pistol, a tommy gun, a bullet proof vest, and a sedan. You'll need at least 230 in energy. When you defeat him, you will get a badge.
