15 How can I earn some cash?
15.2 "Ingame" options for earning cash
15.2.1 Sweating
Sweating is the safest (means you will get money overtime, not that you won’t die) method to earn some cash. But it is quite boring, slow and quite bad paid.
It is quite easy. You go close to a mob, means it has to be in the second grey circle of your radar.
Not all sweating attempts will give you sweat. You will fail often. If you are successful a loot window opens, showing you how much sweat you got. The gathered sweat will be automatically dropped into your inventory, where you can find the sweat under “material and money” (looks like 3 gold bars). The loot window just informs you about a successful attempt.
Another thing you will gain sooner or later with sweating are evade skills, very important for hunters (and you even get paid for it).
Sooner or later a mob can’t provide any further sweat, also called “dry”.
Don’t sell your sweat to the trade terminal, you won’t get money there. The price for sweat at the trade terminal is 0!
Dead or trapped mobs don’t provide sweat.
And why should someone buy sweat?
Sweat is needed to produce Mind Essence (ME), and that is used for the mindforce (mindforce section). You can produce ME with an energy refiner (tt) and drag sweat and Force Nexus to the refine window, and click refine.
There are 2 methods of sweating:
15.2.1.1 Sweating with mouse click
Search an animal, walk quite close and left click. If your hands start to glow green you charge your mindforce. If you move during that time, or are hit, your concentration will break and you have to start again. Soon you stop moving and your hands are glowing green. Then you have to click at the mob. A green link (like a tunnel) is established. Now you can run and maybe should if the creature is coming to attack you. After the link is gone again you should press autorun again (if running) to be a bit faster again.
15.2.1.2 Sweating with quickbar
In your action library you can find a “gather sweat” symbol. Drag it to the quickbar and instead of clicking you press the button (or click at it if you want to). The rest is like above. This will also work trough most of the walls (as long the target isn’t trapped), working perfect with sweat tactic 2.
15.2.1.3 Sweat tactics
1. Sweat and run:
This tactic works very well in atlas haven, because you can find a good animal to sweat there, the Snablesnot female young.
First I recommend you drag gather sweat to a key you can reach easily, like ctrl.
Then you search a Snablesnot female young/mature (no males, spit to far; nothing above mature, too fast).
Then you start concentrating, the animal will most likely run towards you.
Then turn around and run in a straight line.
When the animal reaches the second circle of your radar, stop, turn around again and start sweating. You should have finished the concentration when the mob is close enough to attack again. Start sweating, and as soon the sweating link (like a tunnel) is established, you turn around and run again (press “r” for autorun). As soon the link is gone press autorun again to be a bit faster.
Continue that until the animal can’t provide any further sweat.
After that you can lure it to the next turret, or drown it, also easy around atlas haven.
This way is great to gain evade, just let the mob hit you a bit, if your HP are too low start running again.
2. The Group sweating:
You search a group that want to sweat or is already sweating and just make the same.
The positive side is that the animal won’t attack just you alone, so you will die less often,
the negative of course you won’t get that much sweat than if you are sweating alone. This leads to bigger mobs for the group sweating (have more sweat) and this leads into more deaths again.
3. If you really want to go into the sweating section for earning cash, you should consider buying an focus chip, the higher the better, just not an medium one (worst of all), and an suitable implant, more about this in MF section.
15.2.2 Gather fruit/dung
Sometimes if you walk around (running decreases chances for seeing fruits), fruits or dung will appear on the ground. You can pick it up and sell it to other players. You are just able to see fruits/dung when you are very close. You will see some butterflies when you are near fruit (or flies for dung).You also can go around for hours and find nothing. Fruit/dung gathering isn’t really safe cash per hour, but it works quite fine with the sweating. Just watch around a bit while sweating and you may find fruit/dung too.
Fruits are needed to produce nutrio bars (together with sweet stuff) which are used to feed pets, more in the taming section.

Don’t sell your fruit to the trade terminal, you won’t get money there. The price for fruit at the trade terminal is 0!
15.2.3 The Oil Rig
The oilrig can be found at 24300 8300.
The good things
The oilrig creates every couple of minutes an oil barrel
This barrel is worth 5-20 ped
The barrel can be picked up by anyone who is near, means free cash
The bad things
Its around 1 hour away from Fort Troy tp
From Nymphtown it can be hard to get there
The rig itself is surrounded by Atrox (older maturities; very fast and tough)
It is in the middle of a PvP-zone, so you can (and will) be shot there quite often, because, believe it or not, those guys want the oil too
You have to be faster than those guys there, and that means REALLY fast
(and to have a chance you have to use a little trick they use too, you have to disable “move to target when interacting”. This allows you to pick items up from distance without running to them, means you save that time. This is a good trick for most other situations too by the way)
It’s possible to stand there for days, (if not shot or eaten) without getting anything.
It’s the most interesting (if you call standing around and waiting “interesting”) because there is some fear, but also very unsafe. Not really recommended for newcomers I would say.
It will take around 8 minutes to run back to the rig from the next outpost if you are killed.
