HEALTH BASICS 101
Health can be increased when you level up within your Upgrades section. Health increases 10 for every 1XP used to increase it. Every 10 health increase will also increase your damage taken and given when in battle. In addition, there will be a maximum increase in XP gained per battle.
Here is how it basically works, maximum health / 20 - 1. ie: (100 health/20-1=4XP max), so if you have 500 health you get max 24XP, (500 health/20-1=24XP max). The downside to increased health also comes increase damage, if you are fighting a person that has the same health as you. The fight damage is predicted by the person with the lowest health. ie: lvl 20 with 100 health attacks a lvl 160 with 500 health, the outcome is usually (1 damage to lvl 160) and (27-29 damage to lvl 20), same situation but lvl 20 with 120 health attacks lvl 160 with 500 health outcome is usually (1 damage to lvl 160) and (43-50 damage to lvl 20).
On the battles WON, you will be able to see the correlation of the XP and damage taken. ie: Battle someone on your lvl 20, both have 100 health outcome (you WIN receiving 14 damage - opponent receives 17 damage). Damage taken is 14/3=4.666XP, but the max is 4XP with the 100 Health. If the same was true of the battle (14-17 damage), but both were 110 or 120 health then you would gain 5XP. ie: (110/20-1=4.5XP rounded up would be 5XP or 120/20-1=5XP)
These 2 formulas work together, but can be a double edge sword depending on your goals. At least you can understand what are the predictors and how to manage your damage given and taken in these app games.

Many people think that they need to increase levels as fast as possible to do well in Outworld, Mobster, and Heroes. This myth is false and will end up hurting your game in the long run.
How do I level up?
Leveling up is based off the number of Exp a user receives when attacking, defending, and completing missions.
Why is it important not to level up?
These applications are based off of cash flow. The more cash flow one has coming in, the more weapons one can purchase. Leveling up too fast will not allow an individual to secure enough cash flow to purchase the max number of weapons to defend oneself if an attack is initiated by another user.
Winning a battle is not always a victory. If Exp is gained then you are a step closer to buying the next levels weapons. Lets use an example.
At level 14 the max number of weapons someone can use is 145 guns (i.e. Lightning Gun), 145 armor (i.e. Survival Suits), and 145 vehicles (i.e. Hover Tank). At level 15 the max number of of guns, armor, and weapons a user can use is 150 of each, but the Seige Tank is unlocked which costs $300,000 each and has an upkeep of $1200 per hour. To purchase 150 seige tanks at level 15 it will cost a user $15 mil and $150,000 per hour in upkeep. This is a big jump from just having all hover tanks in the previous level.
This process will become more difficult at level 30 and 40 when the Starfighter and Battleship units become unlocked.
How do I not gain Exp?
- Do not do missions
- Purchase the most defensive weapons, armor and vehicles available at your level (i.e. Level 10- 50 Rail Guns, 50 Survival Suits, and 50 Hover Tanks).
- If you are attacked at any level and have the max amount of defensive weapons available you will gain 0 Exp 98% of the time. There will be a few occasions when someone will come along that has the same amount of weapons you have that will either beat you or will make you gain Exp by losing to you, but in a close battle.
- Another strategy that will allow you to lose Exp is to die. The most infamous Outworld player who uses this strategy is Russel Crowe id# 154305941. Russell has managed to stay at Level 5 by dieing repeatedly whenever he is about to level up. Russell does this by attacking high level players when he is just out of sickbay (i.e. 20 health).

Every myspace user has whats called an id#. This id# is used in all applications to identify each user. It is quite simple to find any user in all applications. If you know the id# in Outworld you can switch to Heroes or Mobsters, input the id# and find the user’s profile in these other apps.
Here is how you find an id#:
Firefox browser:
This url bar is taken from Outworld. The numbers shown at the end of the url is known as the id#. You can take the #’s 81988516 and place them in any other application or in myspace to find this user’s other games or myspace page.
Note: You have to go to another user’s Outworld, Mobster, or Heroes page in order to replace the id#. When you first enter these apps there is no id# shown in the url bar. The easiest way to do this, is to simply go to Battle and find the first user you see and click on their profile. Go to the url bar and scroll to the end.
The difference between firefox and Internet Explorer is that there is a 22 added in front of the id# as shown in the image below.
This user’s id# is 133975415.
So if you see someone post an id# like 22133975415, you just have to remove the 22 to find the actual id# or if you are using Interenet Explorer you can just replace the entire id.
Please let us know if you have any further questions on this subject.

Do you have a strategy (beginner, intermediate or even advanced) that you would like us to discuss in our upcoming strategy guide? Leave your comments below to discuss your strategies.
**Click the (Details) link for further explanation of the strategies!
- Main Menu - (ALL Communication) receive comments, blog entries and monitor defensive efforts while away, prices of the blog entries go up in value with progression of levels into the $1000’s. **Broadcast a Hit without having to use the “Bounties” tab, use the message boards and give the id# of the user you want to your Mob to take care of**. (Details)
- Quests - Uses Energy and second form of real cash follow. (**Early levels, energy is not as important as attack and defense - increase after 5-6th Levels to do bigger Quests**). (Details)
- Kingdom - (**Key in success**) Buy lands then, buildings (you do lose the land after purchase of buildings, but in later levels to save yourself money, buy multiple lands and buildings at the same time with the drop down # box for the same price without an increase. Remember, (**hourly income is key**)!! (Details)
- Vault - (**Useless until higher levels 14+**) This takes 10% of all money put in and need to leave at least $2000 in at all times. Benefit, is that none can attack you and take the money if you lose. (Details) “Leaders Board (Total Money)” - references ONLY the amount in the Vault.
- Genie - (**Timing is KEY**) Games vary on how many power crystals/favors/wishes ect. you get ranging from a minimum of 10 to 20 (20 being Vampires & Dragon Wars) in all the games. You may also, fill out advertisement applications to get more items or pay through PAYPAL. Every 10 credits/gold/blood ect. you get = 10000 x your level of the game. The formula i.e.: 10 x your level= $$$$$; (10 x 11 Level = $110,000). Recommendation, (**Use them within the levels of 8-13**). (Details)
- Battle - (**Destroy users**) Pick proper weapons and have proper level upgrades. (Details) HEATH: 100/100 default, you can attack or be attacked when as low as 20/100. When increased through upgrading after you level up, I.E: HEATH: 110/110, you can attack or be attacked when as low as 22/110 and so on. Choosing a victim on the “Battle” tab. View the # of individuals in their group, prefer to battle a smaller group than your own. DO NOT CLICK ATTACK on the right! Instead, click on their profile name to the left. We found out, they can out # your group and you can still win. (Details) After clicking profile name, observe Wins/Losses and Weapons! (Details)
- Bounties - (**Rarely used**) Mostly used by individuals to get their wins up. They will put a “Bounty” on themselves. There is no hiding in “Church” when you have a “Bounty” on you. They can attack you until you die. That individual will receive the bounty amount. There are various strategies to putting a bounty on yourself to gain fame. (Details)
- Armies - (**Essential to the game**) Various stratigies depending on your direction. Can determine whether you can do some of the Missions/Quests to earn more money. A few of the games have other types of (Unseen) weapons, but all games are same in values and play the same in weaponry values. Establish a good plan for your defense and attack, for more ideas and formulas reference “Battle” or (Details).
- Church - (**Need Vault and NOT needed until 14+ Levels**) Great place to be when away, but again if you have a bounty on your there is no hiding and you may have to re-stratigize. (Details) The cost to get out goes up with your levels. (**If necessary to stay in here, it is possible to punch yourself under “My Stats” dealing 1-5 damage to stay in**).
- My Guild - (**ABSOLUTLY ESSENTIAL**) Not as hard as it use to be, now easier than ever with SPUKO.com. Some of your friends will block the apps you would like to add them to. Now you can rapidly add more gamers through SPUKO.com. Not sure how to SPUKO? (Details)
- My Hero - (**Will guide the direction of your game play**) Upon every level up, you will be given 3 credits (6 credits have been credited on occasion???) to apply to your upgrades. When to change your direction will depend on your time to play this game and types of weapons you are purchasing. (Details)
- Legends - (**To get here will depend on your strategy and dedication**) It seems the games made by ZYNGA currently don’t have a “Leader board”. Nice about a couple of the games, not only do they have a “leader board”, but it can be further narrowed down further by Region and even State.
