Mafia Wars Italy Severed Pinky: How to find this missing digit

If there's one thing that's likely to stand in your way of making progress in Mafia Wars, it's those darn consumable items required to complete jobs. Just when you thought you were done with hunting down random items, Mafia Wars Italy arrives and it starts all over again with Severed Pinky, Rail Ticket, Hidden Charges and Smart Phone consumables.

Number one on everyone must-have consumable list is the Severed Pinky. You'll need pinkies to complete the 'Send A Message to the Di Rossa Family' job in Mafia Wars Italy Region 1 Roma.

You'll need a total of 91 Severed Pinky items to master all four levels of the 'Send a Message' job. That breaks down into the following per mastery level:

Bronze : 15 Severed Pinky
Silver : 17 Severed Pinky
Gold : 25 Severed Pinky
Ruby : 34 Severed Pinky
Severed Pinky consumables are not available as a gift and cannot be traded. There are two ways to find these missing digits:

1. Complete the 'Intercept A Handoff in the Coliseum' job in Region 1: Roma. This job costs 8 Energy to complete and the pinkies will drop as loot about 85% of the time.

2. Complete the 'Assassinate a Corrupt City Official' job in Region 1: Roma (the Fight Path). You'll have to fight to complete this job and the Severed Pinky seems to drop less on this job than they do on the other.

Zynga leaks details on Mafia Wars Italy 6 through 8; to the Eternal City!

And away we go. Well, not just yet. Zynga has sneakily released some extremely detailed information regarding the imminent expansion to Mafia Wars Italy covering Regions 6 through 8. The names of the three regions will officially be Calabria, Citta del Vaticano and The Eternal City, respectively. A new property will be added to the Italian Villa, the Nightclub, but all we know about it is that it will have a job attached to it like the existing properties.

Across all three regions, there will be 15 Energy Jobs, four Social Jobs and eight Fight Jobs--the names of which have all been released. Expectantly, there will be three bosses to defeat known as Don Messino, Commandant Ebersold and Don Rafael Di Rossi.Of course, each region will have a powerful item to master, the first being Messino's Pistol (Ruby 175/118). The others are unknown, but one appears to have an insane 210 Attack power at Ruby Mastery.

Zynga also provided some more interesting tips like how players will need to repeat Jobs in the original regions for consumables that are needed to complete some new Jobs. Even worse, some of the Jobs that provide consumables for the new Jobs also require consumables to complete. For instance, "You will need Cooked Books (from Milano) to do the job (in Napoli) that produces Hidden Charges," Zynga says. It's not exactly exciting news, but it's good to know.

Check out all the details here. And thankfully, Zynga has provided a feedback page for both positive and negative responses, but who honestly takes the effort to provide positive feedback? (Hey, I just tell it how I see it.) Stay tuned for when Italy Regions 6 through 8 go live, because we'll be all over it.
