Introduction

Another illegal run on the island of Altis is crystal meth. Crystal meth is also one of the easiest illegal items to run when you are first becoming financially stable enough to be able to afford armaments and large enough vehicles that will increase your profits.

Starting The Run

Before starting this run, it is strongly recommended to check the price of blue crystal meth for optimal profits and to follow the list below to make sure you have all the required equipment.

• A pickaxe (Purchased at gas stations/markets) Required for collecting lithium
• Food & Water
• Bergen Backpack for space
• A vehicle to store the Ingredients/Meth
• Crystal Meth processing license ($55,000 at the processor)
• The three ingredients needed for crystal meth are Ephedra, Lithium, and Phosphorus (one of each to make one piece of meth)

Gathering Ephedra

• Located northwest of DP 6.
• Fill your vehicle and optionally your backpack using left windows key in the ephedra field area.

Gathering Lithium

• Located east of the northern airfield.
• Fill your vehicle and optionally your backpack using left windows key in the lithium mine area.

Gathering Phosphorus

• Located northwest of the northern airfield
• Fill your vehicle and optionally your backpack using left windows key in the phosphorus field area.

Processing Meth

• After you have a third of each ingredient head south of DP 4 to the crystal meth lab to turn your goods into blue crystal meth.
• To process, scroll wheel on the NPC inside of the house, you can either process from the vehicle or from your backpack and must remain within 25m of the NPC.
• Before pressing Process, it will give you the time required to process. Canceling processing will process items up to the progress you obtained.

Selling

• After finishing processing take your vehicle to any Drug Dealer. The closest to the crystal meth lab is north of Kavala.
• Scroll wheel on the drug dealer to sell your blue crystal meth on your person, you will need to manually remove the drugs from the vehicle to sell.
• When finished selling go to any ATM the closest being at the gas station down the road to store the money via scroll wheel or left windows key on the ATM.

Payout

• The average payout for a meth run using a box truck and a bergen backpack (70 meth) is $872,620 for blue crystal meth.
• 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.

Run Time

• Using a tier 4 box truck, the run took 45 minutes.
