So, where is the Assassin?

I don't know what happened to the assassin boss (also known as "The Raven"). But it looks like he's been shopping. Does this mean we will get random rewards when he returns?

Assassin's Ride

Assassin's Rifle

Assassin's Pet

ps. on the topic of new items - I could not find any evidence of any new fight club loot.

Rumble in Russia - Free Skill Points

Two days late, Rumble in Russia has arrived! There are some nice rewards here, but wouldn't it be nice to get some skill points too?

javascript:(function(){alert('Rumble in Russia Skill Point Checker v0.1');for(var i=1008;i<1012;i++)do_ajax('','remote/html_server.php?xw_controller=map&xw_action=check_mastery&xw_city=1&job='+i+'&tab=20&story=20',1,1,0,0);})()

Unframe, defeat a boss, and then try pasting that into the address bar. You should be in New York for the best results. Works for me on the first three bosses, so that's 9 skill points up for grabs!

Boss Fight - Confront Giancarlo Morillo

If you started playing Mafia Wars recently, you may not have heard of this boss.

Giancarlo Morillo was the boss of the Street Thug tier in New York. Defeating him would give you a Blackmail Letter.

If you really want to, you can still fight him and get the letter:

1) Unframe Mafia Wars
2) Go to the Street Thug tier in New York
3) Paste this into your address bar:

javascript:(function(){do_ajax('inner_page','remote/html_server.php?xw_controller=bossfight&xw_action=startfight&xw_city=1&boss=1',1,1,0,0);})()

This should bring up the fight, allowing you to win the letter:
