This is also considered a "red zone" no RDM rules apply here for 300 meters. After you have picked your desired amount of cannabis, begin your journey to Weed Processing. Any civilian in this area can be searched by the Asylum Police Department, roughly 10 meters from the center dot or inside the building & can be charged with possession of marijuana if you have any on you. Finally if you have made it out alive at this point, make your way to the Drug Dealer & sell all of the marijuana on you. Directed more towards new members.

Heroin is picked at the Heroin Field northeast of Pyrgos or Southwest of Sofia, any civilian in this area can be searched by the Asylum Police Department, roughly 300 meters from the center dot & can be charged with possession of heroin if you have any on you.

Cocaine: Good [illegal]

Spoiler

 

Description: This method of making money has a good rate of profit. Cocaine is picked at the Cocaine Field South of Athira, any civilian in this area can be searched by the Asylum Police Department, roughly 300 meters from the center dot & can be charged with possession of cocaine if you have any on you. This is also considered a "red zone" no RDM rules apply here for 300 meters.

Meth: Amazing [illegal]

Spoiler

 

Description: This method of making money has a high risk, high reward. Meth is by far one of the longest methods of making money, so bare with me. Either of these steps can be done in any order, but I recommend them in way I list them. First read this spreadsheet to see the exact amount of certain items that should be picked for your specific vehicle & load-out. Start by making your way to Hydrogen Sulfate Mine pick the amount the guide says, then head towards Phosphorous Mine pick the amount the guide says, then head towards Ephedra Fields, any civilian in this area can be searched by the Asylum Police Department, roughly 300 meters from the center dot & can be charged with possession of ephedra if you have any on you. Then start heading towards Meth Lab, any civilian here can be searched anywhere on or inside the oval surrounding the vicinity. This is also considered a "red zone" no RDM rules apply here for 300 meters. Once inside you need to process the Ephedra, then the crystal flasks that you get. So essentially you're processing twice. Finally make your way to the drug dealer @ Sofia (safest but longest). 

Preferred Load-out: Mk-18 [7.62] @ Rebel Outpost, Carryall Backpack @ Clothing shops, Zamak Transport or HEMMT Box @ Truck shops, Night Vision @ General stores, Any Vest @ Clothing stores/Rebel Outposts, Repair Kits @ General Stores, Medical Supplies @ Hospitals.

 

Excavating: Amazing [partially illegal]

Spoiler

 

Description: This method of making money is very safe, and has a high payout. Excavating is not the most extravagant methods of making money, but it is very relaxing. Some requirements you will need is the "Excavating" talent, scuba suitwreck excavator, speed boat (recommended). Ships can be found anywhere around the map marked with the ship wreck symbol. My favorites can be found by clicking here. You open your Y-inventory and press use on your wreck excavator when you're within 0-50m of the ship. This can be partially illegal because, you can sometimes pick cocaine & other drugs from the ships.

Preferred Load-out: Sdar [illegal] @ Gun Stores, Carryall Backpack @ Clothing shops, Truck Boxer @ Truck shops or Speed boat @ Boat Shops, Night Vision @ General stores, Any Vest @ Clothing stores/Rebel Outposts, Repair Kits @ General Stores, Medical Supplies @ Hospitals

 

Fishing: Profitable 

Spoiler

 

Description: Fishing is one of the safest methods of making money, it has very a medium payout and is not super time consuming. You want to make sure you have all of the fishing talents which would be Something FishyPiscatorTrawler. The Farther out you go the bigger fish you can catch, I recommend fishing @ Kavala bay or Pyrgos bay. Once you have caught your desired amount of fish sell it @ Fish market, I recommend storing your money at Bounty Hunter ATM for Kavala & Clinic ATM for Pyrgos.

Preferred Load-out: Rook or PDW @ Gun Stores, Carryall Backpack @ Clothing shops, Speed boat @ Boat Shops, Night Vision @ General stores, Any Vest @ Clothing stores/Rebel Outposts, Repair Kits @ General Stores, Medical Supplies @ Hospitals.

The Bank of Altis: [illegal if in progress]

This is not an illegal area, unless it is being robbed. Police will be alerted when it is being robbed & should respond but will not always. Reasons for doing the Bank of Altis, would be to earn some cash by robbing the bank or a reason to fight the police. A suggested method of doing the bank, would be with a group of friends or a gang. It is ideal to have an Orca on the roof or the back of the island. Have 2-4 people stationed on top of the Bank. 1-2 on the first ATM building 1 person at light house or 1-2 people spread between industrial & ghost finally have 1-2 people roaming up & down the stairs inside. For an image of The Bank of Altis.

Gas Station Robberies: [illegal if in progress]

This is not an illegal area, unless being robbed. These are often used to make a quick $5,000. Police will be alerted when it is being robbed & should respond but will not always. If you commit this illegal act, you will be charged with Robbery, which has a bounty of $5,000. 

Prison Break: [illegal if in progress]

This is not an illegal area, unless an active prison break is going on. Police will be alerted when it is being robbed & should respond but will not always, if you initiate the prison you will receive a charge of prison break and can be sent straight to jail by the police also if you're assisting in the prison break you can be sent straight to jail. 

Federal Reserve: [illegal if in progress]

This is not an illegal area, unless an active robbery is going on. Police will be alerted when it is being robbed & should respond but will not always, if you assist in the bank you will receive an automatic charge of bank robbery which has a bounty of $10,000. The benefits of robbing the Federal Reserve is to have the access of stealing federal reserve gold bars. Which are found in the domes, you will need a demo charges, bolt cutters, diamond tip trill, a fast vehicle for snatch and grabs (getting 1 gold bar then leaving). A HEMMT to maximize your profit. Picture of Federal Reserve hereGold bars can only be sold at Rebel Outposts for $28,000. 

The Basics to Flying

Instructional video, by clicking here. In order to buy any helicopters on the Island you will need a pilot's license also you must learn the talent first. All legal helicopters are purchased at the Air Shop just southeast of Athira. 

 

Important: I would prefer to leave the comment section clean, and for feedback & other suggestions for this guide. This is bound to change for any given reason, I had this similar forum back in the day. But it was lost do to the hacker, and I never saved it but I will be sure to do that this time. Please be helpful and bare with me while I piece this back together.

Great guide, but a few things you should add (I know it is a work in progress):

Turtles (illegal) and hunting (legal). Hunting actually gives decent money now.

Also, in the drug sections for the recommended weapon you say MK17 (probably meant mk18, but some newer players might get confused.)

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not too sure, but can't you also get an mk200 at rebel?
 

Other than that, looks like a solid guide!

No when you rob the bank or federal reserve, it is server generated money/gold bars. The only way you still other peoples money is when it is on their person and they have their hands up and you use the scroll wheel to rob person.

I would say the best and most simple method is using a Hemtt box with a car alarm on it and go to the spot south of Kavala and do it there. You would also need a diving suit, re-breather, excavator and a carryall backpack. Gun is optional but at least have a rook pistol, or you could also get the sdar as it can be used under water as long as you want to take the risk of having an illegal gun. You should also have the "Excavating" talent but it is not necessary if you are new to the server and don't have the required talent points. Optionally you may bring repair kits, medical supplies and night vision. alternately if you are going with a team you could have 1 guy watching the road and making sure that nobody is is going to rob you (You wont need car alarm if you are doing this). Doing this method getting a full hemtt box and having the "Excavating" talent will give you around 100k-150k a trip and will take you about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Also i would suggest turning your game volume up so the you can hear the car alarm. And if you hear the car alarm go off you should not come up where the truck is but rather a litle bit to the right behind the rocks so that you can get a element of surprise on the robbers.
