Mafia Wars tips
When you see the option to "Request Help" on a job do not click it yet. Got to the highest level job you have enough energy to do, it is worth waiting till you have more energy as teh offer won't go away. This way you and your mafia get the most XP/money.
Below is a table of the best combat items I have found so far including what job to do to obtain them.
