Lead Into Gold

undefined

Objectives

  • 0/4 ACTIVATE 4 CREW MEMBERS IN BRAZIL.
    Appoint members of your Mafia to keep everything in line while you're gone.

  • 0/8 ACQUIRE 8 ARMORS.

For your first objective, it means exactly what it says. Go to Brazil and activate 4 crew member positions.

undefined
If you need to get more crew members in order to complete this objective, DON'T click the Ask button. It seems the most obvious way to go about getting more crew, but that button only wants you to send Facebook requests to get crew members. You don't want to wait for people to answer those requests.

Click the button to the LEFT of the Ask button, and a drop-down menu will appear. Click the Recruit button there.

That'll generate a news feed post, and your online friends can click and immediately join your crew with much less waiting time on your part.

The second objective has some people confused, and understandably so. You're told you need to acquire 8 Armors, and when you click Go Now, it dumps you in the marketplace. Zynga just wants you to purchase armor items, but we're not going to do that.
  • Go to Brazil.
  • Click on your Inventory tab. 
  • Click on City Story. 
  • Click on Armor. 
  • Buy ANY armor there, and it counts toward your objective.


Mafia Wars Lead Into Gold: Underbrush

undefined
Underbrush is mission number two in the latest mission event, Lead Into Gold.

Objectives

  • 0/2 BUY 2 HORNY TOAD ATVS FROM YOUR BLACK MARKET.
    Buy some vehicles for the jungle trek.

  • 0/40 FIGHT 40 OPPONENTS IN BRAZIL.

  • 0/10 JOB: "MAKE A PATH TO THE TEMPLE"
undefined
About those Horny Toad ATVs. You don't need to have a fully upgraded Black Market in Brazil to obtain them -- but you do have to wait 23 hours between builds, unless you want to spend reward points.

undefined
Fighting 40 opponents in Brazil is easy and painless. Activate your Fighting crew members on your Brazil crew, and it costs you nothing but a few minutes spent on icing.

Attack any player in Brazil for this; doesn't matter if they're iced, doesn't matter if you've already attacked them. Multiple attacks count.

undefined
The last objective in this second Lead Into Gold mission is to do the job Make A Path To The Temple 10 times. Fast-clicking through these will only get you a discount, and not one you want, so if you're low on energy don't waste your strokes.
