"Over the years, control of the moonshine trade (and the enormous pools of wealth resulting from it) have shifted between the largest gangs ever known to Olympus."

Noahhh!

This is the optimized path for completing the moonshine run.

Introduction

Moonshine is one of the easiest illegal items to complete once you are financially stable enough to afford armaments and large vehicles that will increase your profits. This run is very high risk/high reward, so you will want to be sure you can properly defend yourself from all threats before proceeding.

Starting the Run

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

Food & Water
Bergen Backpack for space
A vehicle to store the Ingredients/Moonshine
Moonshine processing license ($54,000 at the processor)
The three ingredients needed for moonshine are sugar, yeast, and corn (one of each to make one piece of moonshine)

Gathering Sugar

Located southwest of DP 21.
Fill your vehicle and optionally your backpack using left windows key in the sugar cane field area.

Gathering Yeast

Located south of Pygros.
Fill your vehicle and optionally your backpack using left windows key in the yeast field area.

Gathering Corn

Located southwest of DP 23.
Fill your vehicle and optionally your backpack using left windows key in the corn field area.

Processing

After you have a third of each ingredient head west of DP 25 to the moonshine brewery to turn your goods into moonshine.
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 the moonshine distributor east of DP 21 to sell your product.
Scroll wheel on the drug dealer to sell your moonshine on your person, you will need to manually remove the moonshine from the vehicle to sell.
When finished selling go to any ATM the closest being at DP 21 to store the money via scroll wheel or left windows key on the ATM.

Payout

The average payout for a Moonshine run using a Box Truck and a Bergen (70 moonshine) is $764,820 for Moonshine.
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 35-40 minutes.

 ==Introduction==
-Moonshine is an illegal run. It is one of the easiest illegal items to complete once you are financially stable enough to afford armaments and large vehicles that will increase your profits. This run is very high risk/high reward, so you will want to be sure you can properly defend yourself from all threats before proceeding. This is one of only two runs on Olympus that utilize separate ingredients before processing.

 ==Starting the Run==
-Before you begin, it is a good idea to check the market value of meth via the “Y” menu to maximize your profits. It is also recommended that you bring at least 3 items of food and water to sustain yourself for the duration of the run. You will want to begin this criminal venture by purchasing or retrieving a truck from the garage located east of Pyrgos. After doing so, you will make the short drive south to the sugar cane field. It is extremely important to note that there are three separate ingredients to be collected in order to process Moonshine.

+==Gathering Sugar==
-Once you arrive, you will notice that the field is surrounded by a perimeter of trees and foliage that will conceal you from enemies. Here you will want to judge how much inventory space you have between your backpack and your truck. Each ingredient will take up 2 inventory slots, so you will want to plan the amount you will need to collect accordingly. Once you have collected the desired amount, you will want to head South towards the yeast field.

-Once you arrive you will notice that the field is very exposed, but nestled in a small, remote valley, which should prevent anyone from seeing you until they reach the top of the hills on either side of the field. Once you have collected the desired amount, you will continue on South towards the cornfield.
+*Located south of Pygros.

-==Gathering - Corn Field==
+==Gathering Corn==
-Once you arrive you won’t find any scarecrows or tall stalks of corn. The area around the field is dotted with small stone walls, but you will be hard-pressed to find any reliable cover to protect yourself. Once you have finished collecting this final ingredient, make the short drive south to the Moonshine processor.

+==Processing==
-Once you arrive at the processor, you will notice that there is a small compound surrounded by forest which houses many accessible defensive positions. You will most likely want to park your vehicle in the outlying forest or under the cover of one of the houses to avoid detection. Once you are settled in and feel secure, you will want to take equal amounts of the three collected ingredients in order to turn them into moonshine. If it is your first time processing moonshine, you will need to buy a Moonshine Processing license ($54,000) at the NPC in order to process. Be sure to sync your new training by hitting ESC. Fortunately, there is a bonus for processing that will incrementally give you faster progress as you process more moonshine.

 ==Selling==
-After you are done processing, it is best to leave the processor as quickly as possible and begin your way towards the Moonshine Distributor to the north. This will be an easily concealed journey so long as you stick to the coast and quickly sell your goods at the distributor. Once you are within a reasonable distance, it is also recommended that you try to scope the area out for anybody camping the dealer or already using it to sell drugs. To interact with the distributor, simply use your scroll wheel, double click the number of drugs you have in your inventory to select all of the black/pure heroin in your inventory, and click “sell.” Once you are done, deposit your money in the nearby Dorida ATM.
