How Do You Make Money?

[danconnors]

So far my longest lived character went 39 days. He never saved enough to get the eye implants. I'd like to see what that does. Any suggestions on how to get a lot of money quickly?

Trapping, ranged, melee, medical. Lockpicking is a plus.

Trapping allows you to gut animals more efficiently, such as dogmen and deer. With ranged craft a bow and 10 arrows, craft a broad spear. Early morning look around to see if you can find a sleeping deer, kill it, skin it's corpse with trapping. Turn the meat into cured meat with ash & stick & fire. Turn the skin into patchwork fur tunic with 10 furs, 20 string and a small part.

A full bottle of identified (medical skill) antibiotics is 1000$, use lockpicks (craft 8 small parts) & lit torch (3 rags + branch), on IT buildings and Appartment buildings, good chance of finding a medical kit.

Sell your loot to either ATN enclave or Junk dealer.

Best loot is guns, antibiotics, alcohol, boots, jeans, various electronic devices (not laptops)

If you know how to do it you can kill DMC guards and sell their gear,but be carefull or you may get kicked out of DMC

I usually depend on my Hacking to eventually provide me with the mother lode. Lockpicking is also useful and helps with reaching that goal. But that can be rather time-consuming.

easy money, shift+z= guns and ammo,

@FluffyGuy™ Using cheats is not really a legit way of making money in-game.

[Trigon (The Trash)]

Well personally if I want to make tons of cash I sit pretty in the ATN enclave murdering all the blue frogs for their shoes.

[Spelfanaat22]

to make money go next a place were you can sell use shift+z then sell the weapons and ammo
(i say ammo takes less space) and make money$$$$$$ cashing

[MrMurLock]

I do something similar to Trigon. I camp somewhere near the ATN Enclave and exterminate blue frogs for their gear. Low value clothes are then shredded and the thread I use to make hide tunics out of squirrel pelts I hunt/buy from the Enclave. The occasional Wolfman is also gold mine for their pelt and meat!

What you can do if you aren't able to find deer or if you have no lockpicking or hacking on your character, you can purify water and sell it, it only takes a lighter, a pan, some wood, and a water source usually near either the junkyard or the ATN enclave to do it. Each one sells for a bit of cash, but it's not really good for a primary money making strategy, only for small things. I sometimes do it if I'm just a small bit away from being able to afford something.

hi, mechanical skill is good too, because if you are lucky enough to have found the Ravager pocket screwdriver kit, and manage to get your hands on a pair of binoculars, you can split them into 2 mono's which sell for about 80% of the usual price, Each :)

[pgames-food]

i also get the lockpicking skill when i'm a mechanic, since that process of splitting, also gives you spare metal parts, which can be turned into lockpicks for $10 each as well :)

i think each main skill has a way of making money, so try and experiment and see what fun you can have.

like the guys stated set up camp by the ATN enclave . buy their war club and murder the tribemen when they are on hills or in forrest areas (shorter distance to run at them while they are trying to talk) melee,strong,tough are handy,, their gear is almost 100% every time and hide coats alone are $150.00..

[BanDHMO]

If you have Ranged, a really safe way to make money is to make and sell Greenwood Bows. All you need is a forest near DMC to turn a medium piece of thread into $40. And, luckily, the market usually stocks various clothes you can make into said thread.

[Kaaven]

@crazyfancypants Again, that is an exploit :) There should not be an infinite source of items.

Melee, Trapping, Medic, Botany, Hacking
Use trapping to make a fire and stoke it with sticks if lacking a lighter. Use a fireproof, waterproof, container with botany skill, fire, small twigs and bark, and water, and it makes tannin tea. Sell for 11.50 per portion. A full bottle would be 23.00 if emptied straight into the market. Once you get some good hacking equipment, just enjoy some cat photos, and hack bank accounts.
