I’ve been getting quite a few e-mails asking about unlocking the various trillion dollar achievements and if it was worth the time. I figured that the preparing for Bangkok post would be an answer, but the questions keep coming.

To be blunt, if you are chasing down the 999 trillion dollar achievement, you need to get your head checked. The best paying job in New York only pays out $56 million and costs 35 energy. You would need to do this job over 17 million times to collect $999 trillion, and at 35 energy per job, you would need to spend over 600 million energy to hit that mark. In other words – it is not happening in this lifetime.

You would need 6.25 million energy to hit the 10 trillion achievement. If you spend about 20,000 energy a day (I usually do about that on my main account), you can get this in a full year’s time, if you focus entirely on the “Take Control of a Casino” job.

What a colossal waste of time. Between the 1 trillion achievement, the 10 trillion achievement, and the 999 trillion achievement, that’s a grand total of >>>>3<<<< skill points. Three skill points! You can get three bonus skill points just by playing the daily chance for a few weeks.

You get more than that for just leveling up! If you did the “Settle a Beef.. Permanently” job, which pays out 2.11 XP:Energy instead of “Rob a Casino”, which only pays out 1.96 xp:energy, you would get far more skill points just by leveling up more.

I guess some people wonder why these achievements actually exist, and here’s your answer:

The trillion dollar achievement is pretty easily achievable just by having a decent amount of property. The other two however are the relics of an old Mafia Wars. The hitlist used to be uncapped, and since there was no use for money, bounties were huge (some people would get hitlisted for many trillions – you could win that just in a bounty).

Now, for players who played back then, the $999 trillion achievement is not a problem. For the rest of us mere mortals, it’s an exercise in futility. Yes, I know there was a window where you could do this with rackets, but really, it’s not worth the effort. Three skill points, remember?

Another reason why chasing these achievements is not worth it is because there is a good chance when robbing is reintroduced to the game, there will be new properties added as well (i.e. earn money faster). I’m going to be prepared when robbing is back anyway – I’d much rather be winning my robbery attempts then have two irrelevant achievements unlocked.
