easy money

dark68360 · Jul 26th 2016

hello I know right now I take all the space in "crossfire general discussions" but hey, I would like to know someone there knows a way to earn money enormously (I know like going into the system hiruga go diamond miner for 30 minute with a cargo ship and after the sale at full price) but I want another way that trade unless someone knows all the locations of wrecks with cargo as blackbox which is 8 milions

I did mention there was a sweet guide detailing some common ways to make money in CF. There is no such thing as "easy" money in Crossfire.

Some Examples of ways to earn some scratch to outfit that pile of junk you got there...

Go "Podding" where you accept missions from NPCs in the bars then sell the escape pods at prison stations (which range from 20k/pod all the way to 600k)
Ask a veteran player what the best route for that day is. IOC Clan Members usually have the best information for that as the economy is dynamic and changes every day
slap on a pirate license, learn the hook tools and start taxing players

but whats common with all these methods is that it takes patience and time. The more you grind it out, the better your bank balance will be. Remember, you can only have a max 2 Billion credits on a single character before the server thinks your cheating lol

Quote from Moorhuhn

Well, I think the hardest part is the beginning *until* you can afford a Soulforge Train. Once you have it, money are no longer an issue ... So if someone starts from very beginning and wants to make the money completely on it's own, that's what I would suggest:

Part 1: Getting neutral

Somehow gather 2 mio credits with the first char (podding, trading, helping other players with transfers)

Create a *new* char, transfer the money to it with help of another player and buy Lavablades for the Starflier or Patriot LF, if you want be more agile (note: this char mustn't shoot any NPCs!)

Shoot 2 Containers (of 4 on depot) from Liberty Police, Inc. near Planet Manhattan (Trade-Lane to Detroit Munitions) - die (or if you earlier bought Patriot LF continue with next point)

Shoot 2 Containers DSE at the same place as before - die (or with Patriot LF just evade and run away)

Buy a Junkers Bribe on Rochester Base in New York for 1 mio creds (re-dock until the guy offers the correct one)

Buy a Zoners Bribe on Neutro Station in Custodian for ~700k (re-dock as above)

Now this char is neutral to all human factions in Sirius - can fly everywhere (almost) without troubles

Part 2: Creating a ship to look up prices (as prices/routes change daily - aka dynamic economy)

Use the char from step 1 and buy a Dromedary (freighter) on Planet Monoc in Custodian for 80k creds

Trade a bit along the way, 'cause we want another neutral char, so we need 2 mio again

Start exploring Sirius and dock on every single station

Buy every commodity and put in 1x into your hold (perishable commodities ofc a bit more)

You can look up trade-routes inside your hold for every station you have visited!

For having a trader with max. amount of free cargo, create a second trader as mentioned above and use this one for the trades you've looked up with the "price-looking-ship"

Trade until you can afford at least a Transport, goal is a Soulforge Train, ofc...

Cheerio

Smuggling I know, and if I make every time a new story I transfer money from my real account and I made her kind 100 times what is cheating?

You can transfer money using the /transfer command but your character needs to have at least 65 million before it'll work. otherwise you need another person to help you move money.

and i only brought up the 2 Billion limit because a glitch once gave me an obscene amount of missile ammo (at least 6 or 7 digits) and i sold them. the amount of money i received was well over 2 Billion in credits (each missile was 40k) and i got kicked for it

that was at least 5 year ago or Version 1.7 which ever was first

hey Dark
you can ask me when you are online. Easy to make billion credits. i know one very short route (around 4 mins) with 1,3m income and you can do it everyday

Its only suggestion from older player .. forget about making huge moneys fast. Instead try make regular smaller money progress each your play time using different ways. It will help you learn how to play better and you will not get bored.

Very good advice
If you try to get rich fast when smuggling, the chances are high, that the police finds out

Portalearth · Jul 26th 2016

never have i ever been caught running black market goods. The cops are too lazy set up checkpoints and conduct searches. I actually managed to sell a cop some less than legal commodities once

dark68360 · Jul 26th 2016

me every time I was scanning by the police when I was against the smuggling but either I kill where I sowed otherwise supply thanhrui am interested
