Jailbreaker - FAQ


Jailbreaker - FAQ
Updated 09/24/2012 at 07:23

We’re giving the power to you to choose what's best for you.

This is your ultimate chance to build or upgrade high stats items as many times as you can. Upgrade or Build, the choice is yours!

Q: Is there a minimum level requirement?
A: Yes, to be able to craft items in Jailbreaker, a player must be a minimum of level 50.

Q: For how long will the feature be available?
A: Jailbreaker will be available for a period of 7 days (From Sept 23rd Midnight Pacific Time to Sept 29th 23:59 Pacific Time)

Q: What do I need to craft items in Jailbreaker? How does the feature work?
A: In order to craft items in Jailbreaker, you’ll need to earn Bunch of Prison Keys in any of the following ways:

Feed Posts: You can earn up to 30 parts per day by having your friends click on your feeds. One Feed post can get you a maximum of 10 parts in a day.

You can post a feed every 2 hours (provided you have not collected the daily limit of 30 parts already).

In addition, you can earn up to 10 parts per day by clicking on your friends' feeds.

Jobs: Get up to 5 parts a day as loot drops while doing jobs.

Status of the feeds can be viewed by clicking the yellow mark next to the event title:


The daily limit timers reset at 00:00:00 AM PST.

The total number of unused Bunch of Prison Keys (building parts) in your account will be displayed in the “Parts Owned” section of the Feature:



You can also purchase Bunch of Prison Keys using Reward Points.

Using the available parts in your account, you can both queue any of the 2 craftable items for building (increasing the total number of items obtained at the end of the event) and upgrade the level of items (build better items with higher stats). Read further for details.

You can choose any combination of builds and upgrades.



Q: Which items are available for Building? Is there a Maximum limit on number of items I can craft?
A: There are 2 Items which you can build and upgrade using the parts available in your account:

1. Ball and Chain (Better Mafia Attack Strength and adds +1 and +2 Personal Attack stats when on Ruby and Emerald level)

2. Prisoner (Better Mafia Defense Strength and adds +1 and +2 Personal Defense stats when on Ruby and Emerald level)

There is no limit on the amount of items you can craft from this feature as long as you have the required building parts on your account within the time limit of the event (Sept 23rd Midnight Pacific time to Sept 29th 23:59 Pacific Time).

Q: How do I use the available parts to upgrade the level of the item? What are the different Tiers available?
A: Using the available parts in your account, you can perform 2 actions:

1. Build: Click on the Build to add an item to building queue. (Please note that you’ll be able to collect the items you have crafted only after the event ends.

2. Upgrade: Click on the Upgrade button to upgrade the item level to the next tier.
There will be 5 upgrade tiers available for both the items - Bronze (default), Silver, Gold, Ruby and Emerald.

Below table shows the number of parts required to upgrade the item strength:



The cost of upgrading or building one item will not change the cost of upgrading or building the other item. Upgrading an item improves all copies of that item, including those already queued for building.

The number of parts required to build items are as follows:



Q: Can I reallocate the parts used for building to upgrade an item and vice-versa?
A: Allocation of parts for used for either building or upgrading an item is final. You cannot re-allocate the parts once you decide to build/upgrade an item.

Q: I used the parts to “Build” items, but those were not added to my inventory.
A: Please note that you will not receive items in your inventory while the event is running. You will need to collect the items at the end of the event.

Q: If I "Build" some items and spend parts to "Upgrade" later, does it upgrade all the "built" items?
A: Yes, you can use the "Build" / "Upgrade" options in any order you want.

For example: If you have already built 10 items on Bronze Tier and use 10 parts to upgrade them to Silver, all the 10 built items will be upgraded to Silver Tier.

Q: When can I collect the items which are queued for building? What if I have unused parts left in my account?
A: Once the “Collect After:” timer ends (Sept 30th 00:00 AM onwards), you will see an option to collect from the event and will no longer be able to earn additional parts.




You’ll get 5 additional days from Sept 30th Midnight Pacific Time to use the remaining parts or to purchase parts and build/upgrade items if you wish to do so.

Clicking on Collect will open another window with more options:



Q: Can I build/upgrade more items after I click on the “Collect” button?
A: No, after Collecting the items from event, the event will end for you and you will be unable to build/upgrade more items. Any unused parts will be lapsed at the end of the Event (after clicking the Collect button).

You will be prompted before you can Collect the crafted items and end the event:

Racketeer: Resets your Fatigue so you reduce the cost of Stamina for your attacks.

Q: Are there consumables for this boss fight?
A: Yes. There are four different types of consumables that are available to help you with this boss fight. These four consumable will become available as soon as you have started a boss fight.

Q: What are the consumables for this boss fight, and where will I be able to get them?

A: You can use the consumables that you have collected to attack the boss, or you can attack him directly using the stamina attack button located directly under the consumables on the boss fight screen.

Q: What is the difference between attacking the boss with consumables and attacking him with my stamina?
A: Stamina attack uses up stamina, and the base damage you do is based upon attack strength. Consumables do not use Stamina, and they do a fixed amount of damage.

Q: What is the Fatigue meter, and how does it affect the boss fight?
A: The Fatigue meter increases each time that you attack the boss and is directly related to how much stamina that you use against the boss. The higher the Fatigue meter, the more stamina it will cost you to attack the boss.

Q: How can I reduce the Fatigue meter so that I can use the least amount of stamina possible?
A: There are two ways for you to reduce the Fatigue meter. The first is to ask your family for help by clicking the '?' button on the boss fight tool bar. This will alert your family that you need help. For 5 Reward points you can also buy 5 Fatigue buffs to use yourself. To purchase these buffs simply click the coin icon next on the boss fight tool bar. When you have the Fatigue buffs available for use, they will automatically be applied each time you click the Attack button, therefore reducing the Fatigue meter.



Q: What is the Rage meter and how does the Arsonist affect it?
A: The Rage meter for the boss increases each time that you attack it using either the consumables or the attack button. The higher the Rage meter, the less damage that you are going to be able to do to the boss. You can also request help from your family by clicking the '?'. Additionally, you also have the option of buying Arsonist buffs for 5 Reward points so that you can use them to reduce the Rage meter. As with the other buffs, Arsonist is applied each time that you attack, and will bring down the rage meter, therefore increasing the amount of damage that you can do to the boss.

Q: Is the amount of damage the Bruiser does related to the Rage or Fatigue meters?
A: The Bruiser does double the amount of damage to the Boss, however, the higher the Rage meter is the less double damage that can be done. In order to take advantage of the double damage that can be dealt, work with your family to ensure the Rage meter is as low as possible. Like the other buffs, you can request Bruiser buffs from your family or you can purchase 5 at a time for 5 Reward points.

Q: If I have chosen to be a Bruiser in this boss fight to do double damage, will I do double damage again if is use the Bruiser buff?
A: The way the roles work, a player who has chosen the role of a bruiser must cast their buff on you. Once they do, you will receive five charges, which means that your next five attacks (through stamina or combos) will do double damage. You cannot buff yourself with the double damage.

Q: What will happen if I request help and multiple members of my family seen me the buff that I have requested?
A: Only the first request applied will count. Other players who click should not have their casts complete.

Q: How will I know if my family needs help?
A: When you family needs help you will see this indicated on the leader board to the left hand side of the buff fight page.



Q: How many times can I can help my fellow players?
A: Each player will have 5 buff items of their chosen character, either Bruiser, Arsonist, or Racketeer. You can send these buff items to your fellow family members to help them on their side of the fight. These will regenerate every 30 minutes, and you can only send them to your family if you have them available.

Q: How does the leaderboard work and are there any benefits to be at the top?
A: The leaderboard is based upon the amount of damage or activity that an individual family member contributes to the defeat of the boss. The higher you are on the leaderboard the better chance you have at getting a superior item.

Q: What items are available as rewards for defeating the boss?
A: There are three tiers of items that are available for taking the boss down. The reward for defeating the Family Boss is awarded randomly, however, your chances of receiving a higher rated item will increase slightly by doing better on the leaderboard. It is very important to note that there is a minimum amount of participation that each family member must perform in order to be eligible for a reward item if the boss is defeated.



Q: Does this boss fight feature further my progression in the Family Progression?
A: No. This is a separate feature and does not count towards Family Progression.

Q: Is there any type of penalty for leaving the boss fight before he has been defeated?
A: The boss fight is active until he has been defeated. You can't leave the boss fight before then unless you opt to leave the family. If you choose to leave the family before the boss fight is defeated, you will not be able to collect the reward. It is important to note that the Boss Fight is owned by the Family.

Q: If someone is attacking me while I am engaged in the Boss fight, will that affect by battle with the boss in any way?
A: No! Your health is not involved at all when participating in Family Boss fights, so you're free to play as you normally do while still participating and helping your family defeat the Family Boss fight.

Q: How can I become most affective at dealing damage to the boss?
A: This system is designed to encourage and reward tight cooperation between multiple players in the same family. The groups who will do best are the ones who have a high level of coordination and a sound strategy for when to use their casts. If you are interested in increasing your personal contribution, you should continue to increase your own personal fighting strength (attack skill, mafia attack) to do more damage, and by doing core game actions to collect consumables.
