Quick Money for a Brand New Account
Back to top' Permalink by SpaceCreatures - Jul 26, 10 10:52 PM
If you have a brand new and need to generate quick cash, here's one way to do it:

1) Zap your way to a bank account of about $3,000, so you have money to post on the marketplace.

2) Go to your Faunasphere, click edit and pick up all the world blocks that are not attached to your "main island" and put them in your inventory. Sell the grass world blocks for up to $1000 each and the metal world blocks for even more.

3) Buy any eggs selling for less than $1000, keep the ones you need and sell the others for $2000. I've never had an egg that doesn't sell for $2000 and they sell very quickly.

3) Once you have a little money, buy replacement world blocks of other types for no more than $50 each -- you might be able to average as low as $20 per.

4) Go to Marketplace and buy any basic foods selling for under $1000 each until you have all 15 basic foods. Grow the ones you have using the tree idea from the Lux store and sell them one at a time for $2000 each, no more than 3-5 at a time.

Hope this helps.

Sorry but it seems to me like your encouragement for newbies defeats the object of the game!

Are you referring to LUX or BUX in your post?

I wouldn't say I was paranoid........ but I swear they're all trying to get me

try THIS

(You need Heatproof)

DAY ONE: Get the Daily Gift, if its any kind of Gene food, but name changer sell it in marketplace,
if you have not already done the Frozen Worlds quests and the quest were you get 10k do so now,
after that go to Mire Knoll then do those quests. Call it a day now.

DAY TWO: Get the next Daily Gift, if its good, sell it, and make sure to check to see if yesterdays
stuff sold. Now you should change it up a bit, go to Tribal Ruins and zap untin you get Completed skeletons
keep on getting stuff and then sell them for 10,000 lux each (so 20 Completed skeletons is 200,000 lux.
It should take a long time. NOTE DONT TURN THEM IN FOR THE QUEST, sell them in market. Call it a night.

DAY THREE: By now you should have way more lux than you had before, check the market, sell the good
daily gift. Head to Searing Mesa then go to the cave zap stuff and if you get rock 9....SELL IT FOR
50,000-100,000 lux each. Check the market again. Call it a day.

DAY FOUR: Get your gift, sell it if its good check market, now just talk with friends and wait until your market
stuff has sold. By now you should have atleast One Million Lux.

Hope this helped, if you dont quite have 1 Million do the Tribal Ruins stuff again.

There isn't really any single 'object' to the game, though.

I'd say that making 'get lots of money' your goal sort of limits the fun, though.

It certainly does -- not only in Faunasphere, but in life as well.

Capitalism isn't a bad thing, when it's compassionate...now greed on the other hand is a different story, as is not truly understanding basic economics, which also applies here...

I get that the original poster was trying to help, but alas, I think they miss the point of the some of the fun of the game...best way to make "quick lux", IMO, is to work hard, fight pollution, dig up roots, and complete the goals. If you want to make extra lux, then sell things that you don't need for a reasonable price (lux or bux), or things that others find valuable, that you don't mind working to achieve (roots, amber, growing food, etc.). If you provide a service to others, there is no reason, you shouldn't get 'paid' extra for your efforts. I've often grown food, and cooked it to provide premium food at a reasonable price in the market (even though it cost me nothing to grow/make other than my time, which is a cost, just not an obvious lux/bux cost).

However, if someone wants to just flip an item in the market without providing any additional service/benefit, that is their choice...but that's not necessarily all that capitalism is about...you CAN do that in a free market, if the market allows, but is it sustainable? I hope that supply and demand, even in FS, can see through this and will self-regulate any perceived 'gouging'.
