Energy-Based Methods

Selling Losses (Slutting)

$250k $425k per loss (25E each). Attack buyer and lose. Find buyers: Attacking forums or Nebula Escorts on Discord (pay $350k $425k, higher than average). Full notes: Selling Losses (Slutting)

Reviving

Unlocks after reaching Brain Surgeon in the Medical city career. - Costs 75E per revive (can drop to 25E with faction perks) - Pays: 2 xanax or $2M per revive - Join a reviving faction to get the 25E perk. Huge difference.

Claiming Bounties

Find bounties in the newspaper, hospitalize the target, collect. Underpaid sometimes but bounties come with merits.

Ranked War (RW)

Join an RW faction. Participate in wars. Best payout method for high-stat players. Can be very lucrative. Low-stat members may spend most of the war in hospital.

Mercenary Work

Hospitalize specific targets for a fee. Pay range: $2.5M $6M depending on how much hospital time you can dish out. Good for players in the stat range where they can reliably hospitalize others.

Mugging

Mug people's wallets. Profitable when done right. Creates enemies and bounties. Buy-mugging (mugging someone buying from your listings) is frowned upon and creates more enemies.

NPC Looting (Duke/Fernando)

Coordinate with other attackers to assist-kill NPCs. Luck-based but can yield high-value items. Seasonal NPCs also appear.

Hunting (South Africa)

Fly to South Africa, hunt animals. Yields good money at higher hunting skill levels but sacrifices battle stat growth. Best combined with 10-star Lingerie Store job (free BCT travel = faster return trips). Not recommended unless specifically going for hunting.

Missions

Most require attacking. Rewards include money but the real value is mission credits for weapon mods, special ammo, and books. Never spend mission credits on things you can buy with cash.

Searching the Dump

5E per search, random junk item. Not recommended except for the merit.

Nerve-Based Methods

Selling Busts

Jailed players pay you to bust them: ~400k+ per bust, 5 nerve (2 nerve with faction perks). Requires good busting knowledge and decent success rate. Watch for scammers.

Crimes (Crimes 2.0)

12 crimes released so far. Most don't yield huge cash directly. Burglary and cracking give decent returns. Real value is building your NNB for future methods (Political Assassinations etc).

Faction Organised Crime (OC 2.0)

New OC system with better payout. High NNB required (60+) for top-tier OCs. Political Assassination style OCs can earn $100M $300M per faction per 8 days. Your individual cut depends on your faction's distribution policy.

Job-Based Methods

Direct Salary

TV Networks pay well to employees. Requires very high working stats. Not accessible early.

Selling Items from Job Points

Trade job points for items, sell them: - Energy cans (Sweet Shop, Grocer) $1.8M $3.5M each - EDVDs (Adult Novelty) consistent demand Full notes: Sweet Shop Job

Selling Services from Job Points

Profitable examples: - True level reveals (Candle Store) - Logistics reports (Logistics Management) - Friend or Foe / flight time extensions (Detective Agency) - Stat spies (Army job, accessible early) - Law Firm: stat spies

Indirect Job Benefits

10-star Lingerie Store: free BCT travel (faster return from any foreign city). Massive time saver for frequent flyers.

Being a Director

High-end companies profitable at high stars. Requires business educations and 2 stock blocks (TCI and TCP) to run properly. Can sell trains for $300k $500k each. Can tax employees (popular in Adult Novelty: EDVD tax).

Software Corp Hack (Advanced / Niche)

Join a 10-star Software Corporation. Accumulate 750+ job points. Use "Corporate Espionage" (50 JP) on company directors to check their company bank. Key: if it returns "firewall fail" it means they have the SYS stock block protecting them = skip for free (no JP spent on firewall results). If no firewall = potentially unprotected company bank. Use "Intricate Hack" to drain it. Very patient method. Puddleglum found his mark on attempt 22 out of 23 targets.

Real Money Methods

Donator Packs

Buy from Donator House, sell at Pawn Shop for $23.5M guaranteed (no mug risk, no fees). Or sell on item market for slightly more but with 5% fee and mug risk.

Subscriber Status

Monthly subscription gives 2 free sellable items, points lottery entries, books. A penny saved is a penny earned.

Capital-Based (Active)

Flying

Full notes: Travelling Guide (Pasta-Man) and Flower and Plushie Running

Trading

Buy items at below market prices from players, sell in bazaar at profit. Very high income potential but requires capital and active effort. Muggers target known traders. Use YATA, Torn Exchange, and market tools.

Stock Market

Buy when low, sell when high. Currently reduced volatility. Still profitable at scale. The more capital, the more you earn.

Poker

Some players make billions. High skill ceiling. Not recommended without learning it properly.

Passive Income (Capital-Based)

City Bank

Up to $2B investment ($3B in 10-star Oil Rig). Best ROI of any passive method. With merits and TCI stock: earns $4M+ per day on $2B invested (3-month term). Full notes: Bank Interest and Stocks

Stock Benefit Blocks

Buy enough shares in specific stocks to unlock reward blocks. Many pay cash or sellable items weekly.

Becoming a Landlord (Late Game)

Buy maxed PIs (fully upgraded), rent them to players. - Cost to buy: ~$1.6B each - Rental income: $700k+ per day per PI - ROI does not diminish with scale. Buy 50 PIs = 50x the income.

Cayman Islands Bank

Unlimited storage, pays interest. ROI too low to matter even with faction perks and Oil Rig bonuses. Not worth as a passive income source, only use for bulk cash storage.

Seasonal Events

Halloween

Buy Halloween basket, attack players for treats, upgrade basket over time. Exchanged treats yield candy, alcohol, energy cans, supply packs. Lucrative but requires multiple Halloweens of investment to fully max out.

Christmas Town

Walk around collecting gifts and keys, meet Santa, play games. Can earn $20M+/day easily just by being active and walking around. Very underrated. Check calendar for event dates.

Miscellaneous

Filling Blood Bags

Buy empty blood bags from the Pharmacy at $15,000 each. Fill them (at blood bank, costs life/health). Sell filled ones. Price varies by blood type. Blood Day event: life/cooldown penalty for withdrawal is halved = best time to fill and sell. Full notes: Blood Bags

City Shop Buying

100 items/day from city shops, resell at profit. Best items: beer, empty blood bags, pepper spray, basic plushies (sheep/teddy/kitten). Full notes: City Shop Flipping

Selling Bounty Slots

Place bounties on behalf of someone else for your fee ($50k $150k per bounty). Risk of retaliation.

City Finds

Random items spawn on the city map. Can find stat enhancers, cesium, artifacts, books. Extremely luck-based.

Selling Services

Custom work for other players: data compilation, list creation, etc. Paid on negotiation. One player made $75M converting a Friend/Foe results list into clickable links.
