Note: Crimes section references old Crimes 1.0 system. See Crimes 2.0 Guide (Emforus) for current mechanics.

Core Strategy Path

Avoid chat (mugging bait). Don't beg. Show you're a real player.
Train energy for gym, don't waste attacking. Exception: sell 1 day of losses to fund property rental.
Get to level 15 ASAP for travel income.
Biology courses (BIO) first: blood bags = ~$500k/day early income.
Join a Sweet Shop 7 star: "cans" payout transformed income to ~$50M/month.
Buy company trains to boost job stats (100-150k/train early on).
Rent PI with airstrip for extra travel capacity.
Get into faction with Excursion 10 (even pay 6M/month bribe if needed) = 29 item travel stacks.
Flower/plushie runs UK for main income (Heather, Nessies, Red Fox Plushies).
Stocks: TCHS (medical boxes, pays back fast) + LSC (lottery vouchers).

Passive Income Tip

Big Al's Gun Shop: buy and resell pepper spray daily = $60k/day (~$1.8M/month).

Blood Bag Income Path

Do BIO1340 then BIO2127 (intravenous therapy) first. Sell filled blood bags for early cash. This funded renting first PI.

Job Stats Strategy

Chimito's path: 7 star Sweet Shop for cans income, bought 10 extra company trains/day at 100-150k each, gaining +1,500 INT/month for 7 months, then moved to 10 star Fitness Center.

Crimes Notes (Crimes 1.0 era, partially outdated)

Build NNB (natural nerve bar) with Arson (warehouse only). 10,000 arsons = ~55 NNB. Then unlocks Political Assassination OC = ~$30M/week. Skip Drug Trafficking and GTA. Skip Larceny (no nerve XP gain in old system).

Key Rules

Always attack and LEAVE when leveling, never hospitalize. Hospital = less XP.
Get to level 15 before focusing on gym
A good faction matters more early than high stats
