Weed
Rafa
Introduction
Weed, or Cannabis, is one of the most accessible illegal items to run when you are first becoming financially stable enough to be able to afford armaments to protect yourself and large enough vehicles in order to increase your profits.
Starting the Run
Before starting this run, it is strongly recommended to check the price of marijuana for optimal profits and to follow the list below to make sure you have all the required equipment.
- [Food & Water https://wiki.olympus-entertainment.com/wiki/Virtual_Items]
- Bergen Backpack for space
- A [vehicle https://wiki.olympus-entertainment.com/wiki/Civilian_Vehicles] to store the marijuana/cannabis
- Marijuana processing license ($17,500 at the processor)
- Head to the Weed Field east of Kavala to fill your vehicle and optionally your backpack using left windows key in the weed field area.
Processing Marijuana
At first glance, the weed processor looks incredibly treacherous to navigate with high rising hills surrounding the area giving enemies a vantage point, an urban settlement offering a concealed approach to the processor, and the processor building itself being surrounded by a slight incline. Not to worry, however, there are patches of tall elephant grass allowing for easy concealment of your vehicle, and leaving doors closed when not in use will prove useful in keeping unwanted attention away. Once you are settled in and feel you will be safe, you must now take your cannabis to the weed processor NPC located in the house. Players and vehicles must remain within 25m of the NPC in order for processing to be complete. If it is your first time processing cannabis into marijuana then you will need to buy Weed Training ($17,500) in order to use the NPC. Be sure to sync your new training by hitting ESC. It will take a long time to process so be prepared to be vulnerable and keep your wits about you. Fortunately, there is a bonus for processing that will incrementally give you faster progress as you process more cannabis. You may also choose to process an entire vehicle full of raw materials into processed items. Players can select to process from a selected vehicle but multiple players may not process from the same vehicle.The time taken to process the inventory of the vehicle will be displayed and canceling processing will process all items up until the point of cancellation. Buffs gained from processing will also apply to the rate at which the vehicle is processed as well.
Processing Hash
After you finish processing you will notice that there is an option to “double process” your marijuana into Hash. This will take more time but you will have the same processing bonus bar from any bonus received for processing cannabis into hash. The hash will give you a significant increase in profit upon selling (x1.25 current price) so if you believe yourself prepared to double your processing time it will be well worth it.
Selling
After you are done processing it is best to leave the processor as quickly as possible and begin your way towards the Kavala drug dealer. Going through the city is ill-advised at best so you will want to go North on the MSR to avoid it entirely. Once you are within a reasonable distance it is also recommended that you try to scope the area out from a distance to ensure nobody is camping the dealer or already using it to sell drugs before you arrive. To interact with the drug dealer simply scroll wheel, double click the amount of drugs you have in your inventory to select all of the marijuana/hash in your inventory, and click sell. Once you are done, deposit your money in the nearby ATM at the Turtle Dealer before carrying on.
Payout
The average payout for a weed run using a box truck and a bergen backpack (210 weed) is $231,842 for marijuana and $289,802 for hash. If your gang is in control of the cartel it will allow you to hold onto 15% more of the profits which is otherwise paid as gang tax to the controlling gang (cartel Price $266,618 and $333,272 respectively)
Run Time
Using a tier 4 box truck the run took 25 minutes and 16 seconds. The alternate route posted above will be 23 minutes. If one was to double process it would take 39 minutes.
