Glass

From Olympus Entertainment Dev Wiki
"The forgotten run."
Ares (N0BLE)


Introduction

One of the many legal runs that you can do on the island of Altis is sand mining. Sand can be found in the ground and can be processed into and sold as glass and is one of the first recommended runs for intermediate players as its payout is viable enough for small to medium scale operations that can be increased with possession of a Worker's Protection License

Starting the Run

Before you begin, it is a good idea to check the market value of sand using the market tab on your “Y” menu to make sure nobody has sold sand recently to maximize your profits. It is also recommended to stop by the DMV and purchase a “sand processing license” as it is a prerequisite for processing the sand into glass for sale. It is also necessary to take a pickaxe, which can be purchased at any market or gas station, as well as 3 items of food and water to sustain yourself for the duration of the run. You will begin this run just west of Neochori at the truck shop. From there you will go directly up the coast to the east where you will eventually find the sand mine. You will want to steer clear of the gang base, chop shop, and drug dealer as being caught near there will only prove convenient to the rebel who relieves you of your vehicle. The view of the ocean is amazing from here, but you will be extremely vulnerable as there is little to no nearby cover near the harvesting area save for some rocks that rest in between the ocean and the mine. You will be able to begin harvesting once you are near the icon that is displayed on the map by using your windows key to harvest. Moving around while harvesting will increase pickup speed and just might throw off any would-be sharpshooters. Once you have collected the desired amount you will head northwest towards the Sand Processing icon displayed on the map.

Processing

Once you have made your way to the sand processing marked on the map, you can begin processing by scroll wheeling on the device located inside the building. It takes a long time to process so be prepared as you can be very vulnerable. Once you have processed all your goods, you can make your way to the glass trader.

Selling

After making your way to the glass trader, you can sell your items. Make sure to deposit your money at the nearest ATM before you begin any other activities.
