How to avoid paying 170k for an orca

[Midamaru]

This is a guide written with knowledge of the ancients arts of crafting.

Times have changed and our currrent ways of just throwing money at a person to make anything possible has gotten too uncomfortable.

Even the most prestigeous helicopter which has been degraded to a toy that can be shot down with a potato shooter costs more than a fortune!

Back in the day where mankind did not have merchants and currency we used our own hands and tools to craft the things we desire.

Here i will describe some ways to acquire the materials required for our vehicles of war and transport for our goods.

 

Materials for 10 orca's while owning the land of Panagia in the South-East of Altis:

Spoiler

Flawless Diamonds: 10

Cut Diamonds: 150

Rubber: 80

Oil: 80

Money: 450k

How to acquire these materials efficiently?

Flawless Diamonds: These are a rarity in the soils of Altis, i suggest that you buy them as they are simply too rare to dig for all day.

Cut Diamonds: These diamonds are more common and can be found in any quary on altis, the closest quarry to both town and processor is the medium yield east of Athira. Here you should take a Zamakk Transport as the weight of 150 raw diamonds (4 each) would only fit in these or bigger trucks.

Rubber: Rubber can be gathered from processing oil from the oil rig but a far more efficient way to acquire it is to take it from the Oil Cartel. It is often owned by people not willing to defend it and so you can go there with only a SDAR to reduce risk. As this screenshot shows, it would grant you 54 rubber and you have a slight chance of having to fight a dog over it.

Oil: Oil can be gathered from running an oil barrel from the oil rig to a processor, make sure you have the license and talent. You will only need to go back and forth with a boat 4 times to acquire the 80 oil.

Tips and Tricks when crafting the orca's

Spoiler

You have to own Panagia or else the costs will be higher and that is bad when you're crafting in bulk.

Do not craft while wanted, a bounty hunter or cop can easily ruin your day by getting on your tail.

Don't let a (hard) restart catch you by suprise, look on your phone there is a count down next to the time.

I like to craft 10 of them at a time and simply watch over them till they've despawned, there is a slight chance someone will show up within 15mins with lockpicks anyway.

Craft when there's few people online, this will simply make it less likely to run into someone.

So are Orca's on demand? Governor being a bitch again about the taxes?

Spend some time gathering and crafting to avoid paying 1700k for 10 orca's.

with the talents to get rare gems you can fill a zamak/hemmt of diamonds in about 10minutes, makes it alot easier

 

also, with panagia, it's 45k to craft an orca now, no?

Why do you need the orcas to despawn? Do they just go to garage?

Yes they do after being untouched for 10mins.

how much would you make if you sold them instead of keeping? What would the profit look like?
