Core Early Game Loop

  1. Complete George's Missions first (under 3 hours). Use mission points wisely, not on piggy banks.
  2. Energy: Use minimum required for missions, dump everything else into gym. Get to 100 in each stat before worrying about anything else.
  3. Nerve: Do 5-8 full nerve bars per day minimum. Safe crimes: jackets (Shoplift, Clothes Shop), DVDs (Sell Copied Media). Avoid dangerous crimes that jail you.
  4. Happy: Rent the best property you can afford. Eat cheap candy to top off. Castle is achievable early from trading, PI is better but expensive.
  5. Get a faction as fast as possible for steadfast gym bonus, property access, items.
  6. Get a company job — even for just 5K/day at first to build job stats.

Trading for Income (Key Insight)

Buy cheap, sell to players via Trade Chat (never Item Market for selling — always trade to players for better prices):

  • 100 bricks/day from Bits 'n' Bobs (highest ROI city buy)
  • Lollipops, sheep, kittens, teddies, roses for under $500 each
  • Big Boxes of Chocolate under $3,500
  • Jackets under $350

Flip these in Trade Chat. Buy low on Item Market, sell high to traders.

Priority Order

  1. George's missions (mission points, early items)
  2. Rent best property (PI if possible, Castle if not)
  3. Join faction ASAP
  4. Find company job
  5. Trade daily + buy city items at limit
  6. Gym every energy point
