When you begin the game you have a maximum health level of one hundred. Putting skill points into health is debatable. In the end it is up to you but here is some information that will help guide your decision.

Where can you get Mafia Wars health?

You get one health point regenerated every five minutes of the game. If you are a Fearless character type then you receive one point every three minutes. Every time you level you also receive a top up of health.

If you have enough points for it, you can refill your Mafia Wars health through the Godfather. To replenish your health it costs ten points. Replenishing your health is not a very good use of your reward points. A better plan would be to use those points to boost you skill points which can then be used to boost your health on a permanent basis. Four skill points will cost your fourteen reward points.

The last and most likely the most important way to restore your health is at the hospital. You can heal yourself in the hospital every forty five seconds for a price. Depending on how sick you are the price of healing at the hospital will increase so make sure you have some money sitting around. The good thing is that you do not have to take your cash out of the bank to use this feature.

What benefit does health give you in the game?

You need health for fighting, for both attacking and defending.. Attacking other players and mob bosses require enough health to defeat the enemy but how much you use and how often you can fight are not simply limited by your health. Your stamina attribute will effect how regularly you can attack another player.

Is health a good place to put skill points?

There are two opposite schools of thought on whether you should put skill points into health or not. Those for and against are both adamant that their view is correct.

Putting points into health can help you with fights. If you have the stamina for it, increasing your health will allow you to remain in a fight longer and possibly lead to more wins.

Those on the other side of the argument see it like this: The hospital allows you to regenerate your health every forty five seconds so why waste your skill points on increasing your health. An extra benefit of low health is that if it falls below twenty you cannot be attacked. Finally, the higher your health is the more times you can be attacked and potentially lose money.

It seems that those who maintain that using skill points for health have very compelling points. There is one potential disadvantage to this, if they choose to take away the hospital from the game, then you would probably want to have more health points.
