Down below are a few videos and guides for new players to understand how some game mechanics work as well as how to make some starting money. As I complete some more of these, they will be added below. If you have any request for certain guides feel free to PM me on the forums or even comment below. Some of this information can be found on the Asylum Wiki  , other portions of this information can be credited towards @Haunter . Also please give me time to edit and update a lot of this information as I do not have as much spare time as I use to. Also keep in mind the prices may not always be accurate as the governor may increase taxes at any time so the cost of materials may be slightly different.

Comments will be added to this list. Feel free to contribute!

 

  • Be mindful of where you place your treasures within your houses. Second floor is best.
  • Snakes can path through your door and open it, even though it is locked.
  • Check that your doors are closed when you log in, as they can lock outward.
  • Check that your doors are indeed locked.
  • Single story houses are very often and very easily raided, meaning if you own own, opt out of using Large Storage. Get a smaller crate.
  • Glitching into houses IS NOT legal. Do NOT bypass a building to raid someones property.
  • In order to access the Item Storage of a crate, the house has to be unlocked.
  • Crates will not spawn until the owner has logged in. They stay up until the owner logs out.
  • When the owner of a house logs in, their house will lock.
  • Parking a vehicle next to a window of your home will still allow you to access the inventory of said vehicle from the safety of your home.

 

 

Trouble Shooting Arma (Deleting PBO Files): Credit to @Norwegianviking

 

 

After a request i decided to make a guide on how to delete Asylum and any other Arma 3 mission file.

You might ask why to delete a mission file and that and that's simple Mission files can easily corrupted and if it does you might now be able to join the server before a patch relishes.

First Open AppData

Window key + R

type "%appdata%"

press enter

go back a step so you see this f05084e7af5d0891d59b9dce4cad789e.png

cee96413249d67359f0fdfb06120b3be.png

Open local

Open Arma 3

Open MPMissionsCache

look for a file named Altis_Life.Altis and it would look like this

5yvCfVH.png

You wont see the same icon on the left

Then delete the file and launch Arma 3 and join the asylum server, you'll start Downloading The mission file!

Hope this guide helped atlaset someone and if it didn't i would look in to different fixes like deleting the .DLL files where you installed arma, creating a new profile, verifying in game cache or even reinstall arma from scratch.

Fishing:

 

Fishing Wiki Guide

 

Requirements

To begin your career as a fisherman there a few items you must obtain.

  • Backpack: You are going to want to get yourself a backpack of some description to begin with this can be purchased from the local gear shop. There is one in every major city on Altis
  • Boat: To be able to fish you will also need some sort of vessel to take you out to sea and also store some of you fresh fish. You can purchase a boat from the boat shop these are situated in different locations on the island.

Talents

The following talents can also be added to help you out whilst fishing.

  • Something Fishy
  • Piscator - 45m Fishing Radius
  • Trawler - 60m Fishing Radius

Method

Below outlines the steps to start fishing on Asylum.

  1. Purchase or pull out your boat from the boat garage
  2. You can then drive your boat out away from the shore this distance is dependent on which talents you have. If you have no talents it is 30m away, 45m with Piscator and 60m with the Trawler talent.
  3. You can then drop your fishing net. This can be done by using the scroll wheel action menu when your fishing net is full and on-screen notification will appear saying " Fishin net pulled up" when you see this you may repeat by dropping your fishing net again.
  4. As you catch more fish your virtual inventory space will decrease this is shown in the top right corner of your phone screen. Depending on which backpack you purchased will reflect how much fish you can store.
  5. Once you have filled your backpack you may exit the boat and press "T" this opens the boats virtual inventory. You can then empty your fish from your backpack into your boat to allow for further storage.
  6. Repeat these steps until you have filled up your boat and backpack inventory.
  7. Once this is completed you should then drive to as close o the fish market with your boat and proceed to sell you fresh catch. You should then proceed to store your money at the nearest atm.

Profit

Below are average profits for individual runs and profit per hour. Fishing is a good starter job to get some early income. It is often adopted by early players as it is low risk.

  • $5,000 per run.
  • $36,000 per hour.

Video Guide:

 

Excavating:

 

Wreck Excavating Wiki Guide

Introduction

Wreck Excavating is a very good legal way of making money and is often compared to Oil running in terms of profit and risk.

 

Requirements

To begin your career as a wreck excavator you will need

  • Wet Suit: $200 Obtained at the Diving shop
  • Re-breather: $200 Obtained at the Diving shop
  • Diving Goggles: $60 Obtained at the Diving Shop
  • Wreck Excavator: $300 Obtained at the Market
  • A Boat or Vehicle: This is dependent on location the farther away from shore your diving spot is the more likely a boat would be preferred over a vehicle
  • SDAR: This is optional and not required. The SDAR is the only underwater gun on asylum and will allow you to defend yourself from under the water. However, you should be aware that the SDAR is an illegal weapon. It can be purchased at the Gun Store for 4000$ (200$ per mag).

Location

There are many locations scattered throughout the map in both Altis and Tanoa they can be found by hitting "M" to open your map and look for the Icons shown below. The most popular locations are ones near the shoreline as they do not require you to have a boat. Excavators choosing those locations often will park a vehicle on the beach increasing their overall payout popular spots include Kavala and Sofia. The place shown in the video is from Kavala while using a ground vehicle

How To Excavate

Take your boat/vehicle to the desired location swim down to the wreck opening your phone with the "Y" key hit "Inventory" then click on the wreck excavator and hit "Use". Unlike other professions such as mining, Excavating does not have a scroll wheel option. After you have hit use on the wreck excavator you are able to close your phone with the escape key be aware however if you begin to move it will break the excavation process additionally you will be unable to open your phone again until the excavating process has ended or you have moved.

 

Item's Found

Item Chance

  • Lock pick 15.9% Chance of finding
  • Zip tie 15.9% Chance of finding
  • Silver Piece 31.7% Chance of finding
  • Processed Oil 6.3% Chance of finding
  • Gold Doubloon 15.9% Chance of finding
  • Pearl 6.3% Chance of finding
  • Ruby 4.7% Chance of finding
  • Processed Cocaine 3.1% Chance of finding
  • Flawless Diamond 0.1 % Chance of finding
  • Treasure Chest 1 in 3000 Chance of obtaining (Less than .1%)

Note: The chances of finding have been rounded to the nearest .1 %

 

Item Profit

Profit per run and hourly profit rely heavily on your diving methods and the location's so instead im going to give you what each item can be sold for and where to sell it at.

  • Lock pick Can not be sold on the market, used for lock picking cars
  • Zip tie Can not be sold on the market, used for restraining surrendered or downed players
  • Silver Piece Sold at the Jewelry Store $105 ea.
  • Gold Doubloon Sold at the Jewelry Store $123 ea.
  • Pearl Sold at the Jewelry Store $260 ea.
  • Ruby Sold at the Jewelry Store $315 ea.
  • Flawless Diamond Sold at the Jewelry Store $1300 ea.
  • Processed Oil Sold at the Oil Trader $390 ea.
  • Processed Cocaine Sold at the Drug Dealer $422 ea.

 

Additional Tips & Tricks

  • The talent Excavator is highly recommended and allows you to excavate faster however it requires Something Fishy to be learned first
  • Many Excavators will drop both Lock picks and zip ties as they can not be sold beware however that if you drop any item while in the water it will kill you. In addition dropping these items near your vehicle/boat makes it very easy for would-be robbers to steal your vehicle/boat and all of its contents always try to drop lock picks and zip ties out of sight to avoid being robbed.
  • Many Excavators are normally very friendly as it is a legal activity, however, popular diving spots near coastlines are targeted by rebel's frequently
  • While excavating is a Legal activity you do get illegal items from it such as Cocaine always be careful when handling or selling these items.
  • Vehicles/Boats will despawn after 10 Minutes of not being interacted with. Keep this in mind if you plan to go "AFK" as this will leave you stranded as most diving locations are very remote.
  • If a robbery is inevitable and you have no chance of escape consider driving your land vehicle into the water. Doing so will prohibit the vehicle from being chopped.
  • Never ever Excavate with a Bounty due to the nature of Excavating you will be stationary for long periods of time and will be tracked down by bounty hunters/police landing you in jail. This will leave your vehicle with its precious contents being either stolen or de-spawning.

 

Video Tutorial

 

Oil Running: ( Added 05/24/2017 )

 

Requirements

To begin your career as a oil runner, there a few items you must obtain.

  • Boat: To be able to collect oil you will need a vessel to be able to carry the oil barrels from the oil rig to the oil processing platform. You can purchase a boat from any boat shop there is one situated south west of the oil rig on the shore line.

Talents

The following talents can also be added to help you out whilst Oil running

  • Oil Runner

Method

Below outlines the steps to start fishing on Asylum.

  1. Purchase or pull out your boat from the boat garage
  2. Drive your boat to the oil rig a more up. It's important to look at your boat speed and make sure it is zero before exiting or you might find your boat begins to drift out to sea.
  3. Once out you can then climb the ladder up to the top deck of the oil rig and head to the Oil processing machine.
  4. Using your scroll wheel you can begin pumping Oil. Once an oil barrel appears you can scroll wheel again with the action menu and pick it up
  5. Walk the barrel over to you boat and place it inside this is again done with the scroll wheel.
  6. Jump in your boat and head for the Oil Processor.
  7. Dock your boat once again you then follow the same procedure for taking the barrel out as you would placing it in.
  8. Walk over to the processor and you can processor your oil in both Processed Oil and Rubber. Both very useful resources especially when crafting vehicles.

Profit

Running Oil is a great legal way to make money if you do many runs in a row. Individual runs' profits will be negated due to the time spent gathering supplies and selling, but if you do many runs in a row the time spent gathering gear and selling is more effective. Using the resources gained to build vehicles is recommended.

Below are average profits when processing oil.

  • $8,000 per run.
  • $45,000 per hour.

Additional Info

  • To speed up your oil runs if you have a friend using a helicopter you can sling load your boat. A hellcat or orca are required to do this.
  • Running out of space? If you go to the general store you can purchase a tent. This is temporary storage allowing you to store more in between your oil runs. Remember though tents will disappear after restarts and if not hidden well can be looted.
  • If you are in a gang and own the Oil Cartel you will get more rubber when processing if you do not own the cartel a small portion of your rubber will be taken and placed in the Oil Cartel.
  • Avoid running oil with a bounty, as it is easy for police and bounty hunters to capture you out in the open.

Mining: ( Added 05/25/2017 )

 

Required Licences: 

Drivers License

Iron Processing - $950

Diamond Processing - $3,500

Copper Processing - $600

Sand Processing - $700

Equipment:

Tool Kits

Night Vision

Market: 

Food & Water ( 1 Each is fine )

Pickaxe $50

Clothing Store:

Carryall Backpack $250

Talents: The Talent you choose depends on what you wish to gather the most of.

Major Miner

Brawny

Ore Specialist ( Collects Copper & Iron Ore more frequently )

Gem Specialist ( Increases Diamond collection )

Where:

There are several Locations, as shown in the video. Kavala has a Medium Yield Quarry just to the east of the town. North of that is the Mineral Processing. Lakka Checkpoint has a Low Yield Quarry which is good if you have a house nearby to store materials. More than often you would prefer the Medium yield quarry for better chances of Diamonds and Flawless Diamonds. Just north of that is a factory which has a Mineral Processing as well. South East of Athira is another Medium Yield Quarry as shown in the video and just a bit south is the mineral processing. Slightly North East of Pygros is another Medium yield quarry and slightly North West of that is the mineral processing. The town of Sofia has the furthest away quarry and the closest processing is the one near the Pygros medium yield. I will post pictures of the locations below at a later date.

How: 

Enter your vehicle at whichever town you wish to start in. Drive to the nearest quarry (make sure you have a pickaxe). When you enter the quarry, scroll wheel and select Mine Quarry. Over time it will tell you what item you collected. Sometimes you will see "You found only worthless rock" That means you didn't find anything so it doesn't take up an inventory slot. "Mining Complete" will be the message when your inventory is too full to continue. You can then press "Y" to access your phone and select inventory and drop what you don't want to keep. 

Notes:

Make sure you have the proper talents when mining otherwise the trip may take you longer than expected. You want to be in each location as little as possible. The longer you take, the more chance you are of being robbed. Each Diamond Cut will sell for $195 each, depending on the market.

@Mayhem for the vehical option you could recomend them to keep the lockpicks in their vehicle untill they are full and need to drop them to get more loot to avoid people coming up to them and picking them up and lockpicking them. 

  • Many Excavators will drop both Lock picks and zip ties as they can not be sold beware however that if you drop any item while in the water it will kill you. In addition dropping these items near your vehicle/boat makes it very easy for would-be robbers to steal your vehicle/boat and all of its contents always try to drop lock picks and zip ties out of sight to avoid being robbed. http://wiki.gaming-asylum.com/Wreck_Excavating_Guide

 

+ @Mayhem we will use your heroin and mineral processing video guides

After a request i decided to make a guide on how to delete Asylum and any other Arma 3 mission file.

You might ask why to delete a mission file and that and that's simple Mission files can easily corrupted and if it does you might now be able to join the server before a patch relishes.

First Open AppData

Window key + R

type "%appdata%"

press enter

go back a step so you see this f05084e7af5d0891d59b9dce4cad789e.png

cee96413249d67359f0fdfb06120b3be.png

Open local

Open Arma 3

Open MPMissionsCache

look for a file named Altis_Life.Altis and it would look like this

You wont see the same icon on the left

Then delete the file and launch Arma 3 and join the asylum server, you'll start Downloading The mission file!

Hope this guide helped atlaset someone and if it didn't i would look in to different fixes like deleting the .DLL files where you installed arma, creating a new profile, verifying in game cache or even reinstall arma from scratch.

Wreck Excavating Wiki Guide

Introduction

Wreck Excavating is a very good legal way of making money and is often compared to Oil running in terms of profit and risk.

 

Requirements

To begin your career as a wreck excavator you will need

  • Wet Suit: $200 Obtained at the Diving shop
  • Re-breather: $200 Obtained at the Diving shop
  • Diving Goggles: $60 Obtained at the Diving Shop
  • Wreck Excavator: $300 Obtained at the Market
  • A Boat or Vehicle: This is dependent on location the farther away from shore your diving spot is the more likely a boat would be preferred over a vehicle
  • SDAR: This is optional and not required. The SDAR is the only underwater gun on asylum and will allow you to defend yourself from under the water. However, you should be aware that the SDAR is an illegal weapon. It can be purchased at the Gun Store for 4000$ (200$ per mag).

Location

There are many locations scattered throughout the map in both Altis and Tanoa they can be found by hitting "M" to open your map and look for the Icons shown below. The most popular locations are ones near the shoreline as they do not require you to have a boat. Excavators choosing those locations often will park a vehicle on the beach increasing their overall payout popular spots include Kavala and Sofia. The place shown in the video is from Kavala while using a ground vehicle

How To Excavate

Take your boat/vehicle to the desired location swim down to the wreck opening your phone with the "Y" key hit "Inventory" then click on the wreck excavator and hit "Use". Unlike other professions such as mining, Excavating does not have a scroll wheel option. After you have hit use on the wreck excavator you are able to close your phone with the escape key be aware however if you begin to move it will break the excavation process additionally you will be unable to open your phone again until the excavating process has ended or you have moved.

  • Processed Cocaine Sold at the Drug Dealer $422 ea.

 

Additional Tips & Tricks

  • The talent Excavator is highly recommended and allows you to excavate faster however it requires Something Fishy to be learned first
  • Many Excavators will drop both Lock picks and zip ties as they can not be sold beware however that if you drop any item while in the water it will kill you. In addition dropping these items near your vehicle/boat makes it very easy for would-be robbers to steal your vehicle/boat and all of its contents always try to drop lock picks and zip ties out of sight to avoid being robbed.
  • Many Excavators are normally very friendly as it is a legal activity, however, popular diving spots near coastlines are targeted by rebel's frequently
  • While excavating is a Legal activity you do get illegal items from it such as Cocaine always be careful when handling or selling these items.
  • Vehicles/Boats will despawn after 10 Minutes of not being interacted with. Keep this in mind if you plan to go "AFK" as this will leave you stranded as most diving locations are very remote.
  • If a robbery is inevitable and you have no chance of escape consider driving your land vehicle into the water. Doing so will prohibit the vehicle from being chopped.
  • Never ever Excavate with a Bounty due to the nature of Excavating you will be stationary for long periods of time and will be tracked down by bounty hunters/police landing you in jail. This will leave your vehicle with its precious contents being either stolen or de-spawning.

Oil Running: ( Added 05/24/2017 )

  Reveal hidden contents

Requirements

To begin your career as a oil runner, there a few items you must obtain.

  • Boat: To be able to collect oil you will need a vessel to be able to carry the oil barrels from the oil rig to the oil processing platform. You can purchase a boat from any boat shop there is one situated south west of the oil rig on the shore line.

Talents

The following talents can also be added to help you out whilst Oil running

  • Oil Runner

Method

Below outlines the steps to start fishing on Asylum.

  1. Purchase or pull out your boat from the boat garage
  2. Drive your boat to the oil rig a more up. It's important to look at your boat speed and make sure it is zero before exiting or you might find your boat begins to drift out to sea.
  3. Once out you can then climb the ladder up to the top deck of the oil rig and head to the Oil processing machine.
  4. Using your scroll wheel you can begin pumping Oil. Once an oil barrel appears you can scroll wheel again with the action menu and pick it up
  5. Walk the barrel over to you boat and place it inside this is again done with the scroll wheel.
  6. Jump in your boat and head for the Oil Processor.
  7. Dock your boat once again you then follow the same procedure for taking the barrel out as you would placing it in.
  8. Walk over to the processor and you can processor your oil in both Processed Oil and Rubber. Both very useful resources especially when crafting vehicles.

Profit

Running Oil is a great legal way to make money if you do many runs in a row. Individual runs' profits will be negated due to the time spent gathering supplies and selling, but if you do many runs in a row the time spent gathering gear and selling is more effective. Using the resources gained to build vehicles is recommended.

Below are average profits when processing oil.

  • $8,000 per run.
  • $45,000 per hour.

Additional Info

  • To speed up your oil runs if you have a friend using a helicopter you can sling load your boat. A hellcat or orca are required to do this.
  • Running out of space? If you go to the general store you can purchase a tent. This is temporary storage allowing you to store more in between your oil runs. Remember though tents will disappear after restarts and if not hidden well can be looted.
  • If you are in a gang and own the Oil Cartel you will get more rubber when processing if you do not own the cartel a small portion of your rubber will be taken and placed in the Oil Cartel.
  • Avoid running oil with a bounty, as it is easy for police and bounty hunters to capture you out in the open.

  Reveal hidden contents

Required Licences: 

Drivers License

Iron Processing - $950

Copper Processing - $600

Brawny

Ore Specialist ( Collects Copper & Iron Ore more frequently )

Gem Specialist ( Increases Diamond collection )

Where:

There are several Locations, as shown in the video. Kavala has a Medium Yield Quarry just to the east of the town. North of that is the Mineral Processing. Lakka Checkpoint has a Low Yield Quarry which is good if you have a house nearby to store materials. More than often you would prefer the Medium yield quarry for better chances of Diamonds and Flawless Diamonds. Just north of that is a factory which has a Mineral Processing as well. South East of Athira is another Medium Yield Quarry as shown in the video and just a bit south is the mineral processing. Slightly North East of Pygros is another Medium yield quarry and slightly North West of that is the mineral processing. The town of Sofia has the furthest away quarry and the closest processing is the one near the Pygros medium yield. I will post pictures of the locations below at a later date.

How: 

Enter your vehicle at whichever town you wish to start in. Drive to the nearest quarry (make sure you have a pickaxe). When you enter the quarry, scroll wheel and select Mine Quarry. Over time it will tell you what item you collected. Sometimes you will see "You found only worthless rock" That means you didn't find anything so it doesn't take up an inventory slot. "Mining Complete" will be the message when your inventory is too full to continue. You can then press "Y" to access your phone and select inventory and drop what you don't want to keep. 

Notes:

Make sure you have the proper talents when mining otherwise the trip may take you longer than expected. You want to be in each location as little as possible. The longer you take, the more chance you are of being robbed. Each Diamond Cut will sell for $195 each, depending on the market.
