Economy being a factor that is under constant development in order to create as successful and regulated an economy as possible, the opportunities grow for making money and spending money for every day that passes.
1.2.1 Making Money
Contraband

Contraband is by far one of the most common ways to make money; most likely due to its simplicity. You purchase the contraband inside of your property, and it will generate money for you every five minutes. You will gradually profit from this as the money you put into the purchase of the contraband will be made back, with interest given that you are doing it for long enough.

Contraband is always illegal, so therefore you will have to act cautiously whilst using it.

Weed

It is also a possibility to grow weed, this also happens over time. Pots are purchased on the black market along with the seeds needed to grow the weed. After it is done growing, it must be harvested and manually sold to a set NPC that purchases weed for a fixed price per bag.

Methamphetamine

Methamphetamine or simply "Meth" is one of the most complex economical gains on CityRP. Cooking Meth is simple, yet complex once you get the general hang of it. In order to cook Meth, you must obtain several materials, some of which are purchasable on the black market, others you must actively obtain through several activities, or purchase them through player interactive trading. Meth cooking is very profitable, whilst it also poses a risk of a huge loss, you will need to spend time familiarizing yourself with the system itself.

Wood Chopping

Chopping wood is a very passive procedure; you buy an axe for in-game currency, then you start chopping wood. Your stamina will decrease for each blow you take at the tree, resulting in a halt in the process. The wood chopped will then need to be taken to an NPC in order to be sold.

Fishing

Fish is the most popular food to either catch or purchase, this way you can catch it in bulk and sell it in bulk. In order to do so, you must own a fishing rod, which is obtainable from a Chef, then you must fish from the lake actively in order to catch fish.


These methods of course aren't the limits, there are endless ways to make money on CityRP, all it takes is initiative and creativity.
