Master the Prized Pigs

 Reprinted with permission from "The Official Mafia Wars Blog"

Are you ready to pig out? Because it's time to go whole hog. Okay, okay. We'll stop with the pig puns. So listen up, party people. Get ready for the Prized Pigs coming this evening.

Here's how Prized Pigs work. For three days only, you can send pigs to your mafia and request pigs from your mafia. There are 3 Prized Pigs to collect with a new pig being released each day. Request pigs by posting a Facebook feed or send requests to your mafia. 

Each Prized Pig has 3 levels of mastery - bronze, silver, and gold. When you collect enough pigs to complete mastery, you earn some sweet high-powered items to get stronger. Collect all the pigs for Gold Mastery to get the grand prize Oinker Vehicle (100 ATT, 128 DEF). Get ready for pigs and play Mafia Wars now.

	Curly Tail	Fresh Shank	Boss Hog
Bronze Mastery (3 Pigs each)	Garrotte Weapon (60 ATT, 31 DEF)	Fish Spear Weapon (59 ATT, 32 DEF)	Jointed Panel Armor (33 ATT, 60 DEF)
Silver Mastery (5 Pigs each)	Garrotte Weapon (67 ATT, 38 DEF)	Fish Spear Weapon (68 ATT, 37 DEF)	Jointed Panel Armor (38 ATT, 72 DEF)
Gold Mastery (10 Pigs each)	Garrotte Weapon (73 ATT, 44 DEF)	Fish Spear Weapon (72 ATT, 45 DEF)	Jointed Panel Armor (46 ATT, 74 DEF)

And Super Pignatas Are Back!

The Super Pignatas are back! Now take this chance to collect the Wolf before they take back this feature..

Send the Super Pignatas as one of the Free Gift items..

We can only claim 5 Super Pignatas in a day..

And if you have got the Wolf, don't worry.. keep receiving your Super Pignatas because we are able to get more than 1x Wolf! At least one mafia has 2 Wolfs as proof..

Wow, nice one!

Since the Wolf is very rare item... It's been more than 3 times of Super Pignatas event and I have not got single of this animal!

So, you're a very lucky player!

Super Pignatas!

So the Super Pignatas are here!

Here are the loot items we can get!

Finally I see that someone got the rare item of the Pignata!

Woohooo! A very nice vehicle isn't it?

Love the defensive stats of this titan!

We can use this vehicle to climb the hill!

Keep trying, guys.. you can get it too..

Pignatas: Part 3

The Pignatas are finally here. I can't wait for them to be gone so I no longer have to type the word Pignata. You can start sending them from the new Free Gift page. There are some new features on this page that will improve the overall gifting system.

When you hoover over the Pignata, you get the option to send one or request one. This feature is no longer on my account. I like it and hope it comes back. I didn't get a screen shot of what happens when you click on request.

When you click on send, you get this page which has a "Recommended" button. When you click this, you get a list of people who have sent you the most gifts.

You accept the pigs by going to your Facebook home page and checking the external gifting page.

I was able to accept 3 of them. One the third Pignata, it said I could not accept anymore free Pignatas today. If we can only accept 3 a day and this only lasts for the weekend, what are the odds of getting the monster truck? Throw in the Zynga factor and I don't think many of us will get one. Please comment if you do.

Pignatas: Part 2

Is ironic that I just wrote an article criticizing the Official Mafia Wars Blog for not giving us any useful game information. They just added an entry about the Pignata's. What makes this useful is they list the items we can receive. They also hint around a lot about these pigs "exploding" and "bursting". I think we will see some cool graphics associated with the Pignata's.

Here are the Pignatas items..

This feature will start working sometime tomorrow. I checked it out now because there was an in-game message.

When I clicked on "Send Gifts", those cute little exploding "Pignatas" were no where to be found. I did notice we got another new Free Gift page. This one has a little banner above each gift to tell you what category it's in. Look for the Pignata's tomorrow and start sending them to your mafia.
