So I got hooked on Mafia Wars. It’s a very very fun game for facebook and MySpace. Like any good RPG, the variables are complicated enough to prevent you from deducing the correct strategy immediatly. And, like any good marketing department they did their best to make each job not directly comparable to the others. So… I wanted to play around with a table sorting plugin for jQuery and made these tables that are sortable that allow you to easily compare different jobs. It allows you to choose whether your going for the most efficient payout, or the most efficient experience per job. Of course there are some additional variables I’m not including, but these two are nice to have.
P.S. Click the column headers to sort the jobs. And, I’d include more jobs, but I havn’t leveled very far yet. If you have this info for other jobs I don’t have listed, post them in a comment, and I’ll include them.
So here are the Best Mafia Wars Jobs… Using this list, you can pick the best Mafia Wars Job for your goal.

This is AWESOME, Man. Please e-mail me. I can get you the rest of the list for New York jobs and the new Cuba jobs. They are about to release a Moscow expansion and this could propel you to MW STARDOM! People all over are itching for this kind of info.
Thanks for the scoop on experience per energy- those fractions confused me in grade school and I still haven’t figured them out… I am a level 248 on myspace so if you would like to have all the information to complete this list (both NY and Cuba) I will share it with you. BTW- you are in the top 5 on yahoo searches and top 10 on excite for “most experience per energy point mafia wars myspace”. Thanks!

I just ran an update on jobs. Best ration of energy used to experience received is under New York Enforcer, Run Illegal Poker Game (1.94 to 1 ratio), but requires poker chips and cards. Best without needing to keep earning stuff is New York Boss, Settle a Beef Permanently (1.86 to 1 Ratio).
