Crafting 101 – Doing it solo
I started out alone and made it to 430 points before joining a town, it took me 4.5 months and I still did the quests, got the golden saber and golden gun. This is how I would do it if I have to do it again. This is for premium Energy and Higher Income
Plan ahead look at what you will need later and don’t craft products you might not need later on. Get the recipes from the market when you see them available and check the market very often and buy when you see a good deal, I bought Ham for example anywhere from $20-$1000, the $1000 were not a good deal but when you need 100+ you take them when you can get them.
Buy if you have the cash even if its 200 crafting points later you need it, you will need A LOT of products, I used about 850 pumpkins alone, so start buying early and often.
How to get the cash is a different story but I were searching for the 3rd key when I started this and found a lot of good products I could sell for high amounts, 2 Belle’s, Nats, Bowies and so on and that obviously helped and I always would rather do a job that made me $400 in an hour and pay those $400 for a jug since it would most likely take me more than 1 hour to find a jug. Doing it solo will probably cost upwards to $400.000-$500.000
I am a Field Cook and this is the strategy I would use no matter which profession.
0-50 Get started with 40 easy points and 10 a little harder.
0-10 Do 10 Tomato Puree
10-20 Do 10 Tomato Sauce
20-40 Do 20 Baked Beans
40-50 Do 10 Jugs of Water
Level 50 First issue some of your recipes turn grey of the initial recipes only Slice of Cake is still yellow but you get 2 new recipes Stew Beans and Bacon and Cook Jam. Unless you have the ingredients I wouldn’t make any of them, you can sell them on the market for about $1500 but if you have to pay $1000 for the pan it is not worth it.
50-100 Slice of Cake
You end up with 50 cakes but can sell them on the market for a little profit just don’t put them all at once put a couple now and then so you don’t crash the market.
Level 100 and 3 new recipes, Prepare Mash, Dough and Marinate a Steak.
Prepare Mash no need for, Marinate a Steak better use for you precious T-Bones later on, Dough you will need later so:
100-150 Dough.
Level 150 reached and 3 new recipes. Bake a Cake, Brew Liquor and Brew a Fish Stock.
Brew a Fish Stock is needed later so need some of those and not that hard to make beside Crab Meat.
Bake a Cake will contain an item in 1.33 so we need a few of these so any leftover Jugs make a few Cakes.
Brew a Liquor the easiest to make if you have the money, Rum pays a lot and you get 4 every hour you work, Blue Berries you also get 4 every hour and can use leftover money to buy Canteen and Tequila.
150-200
150-160 Bake a Cake
160-200 Brew a Fish Stock/Brew Liquor
Level 200 and no new recipes and Bake a Cake, Brew Liquor and Brew a Fish Stock turns green so now the real hard work begins.
200-250 Brew a Fish Stock/Brew Liquor
Level 250 3 new recipes. Cook Vegetable Dumplings, Cook Fish Soup, Prepare a Roast Turkey.
We have the Dough and Fish Stock from earlier so that helps a lot, Turkey is infamous for being hard to get so only make a Roast Turkey if you have a few spare Turkeys.
250-275 Cook Vegetable Dumplings.
275-300 Cook Fish Soup
Level 300 and all previous recipes are grey but luckily a new recipe Prepare Mince. Hardest step EVER. You will need 50 Knifes, 50 Chopping Boards, 100 Ham and 100 T-Bone Steaks.
This level alone costs $150.000 easy but luckily you have been buying Knifes and Chopping Boards every time you have seen a good deal the last couple of months.
300-350 Prepare Mince
Level 350 3 new recipes. Prepare Dried Cod, Produce Incense, Prepare Sauce.
Prepare Sauce is the easiest, just need a lot of pumpkins and a few tomatoes. Produce Incense no need for. Prepare Dried Cod no need for, only make these 2 if you have products left over.
350-400 Prepare Sauce
Level 400 and one new recipe A Fish Wrapped in a Newspaper and the 3 previous recipes have turned green.
You will need your newspapers later salmon is not that easy to get so let’s keep pumping out Sauce .
400-410 A Fish Wrapped in a Newspaper
410-450 Prepare Sauce.
Level 450 Congrats you made it 450 and Gentleman Dinners awaits you.
Mistakes I made were making a lot more Charcoal than I needed, crafting to expensive products, not selling cakes and other usable products for a little cash.
You will spend a lot of time riding around getting the products you need from the different markets so make sure you have some fast clothes and this script or something similar The West Petee's utilities v0.5.1.
It is an advantage that for example Charcoal goes grey because there is a much better chance of getting Excellent Result which means you get 2 crafted products instead of one.
A few stats
482 crafting points now but I have crafted 783 products.
221 products crafted with grey recipe
100 products crafted with green difficulty
34 products crafted with excellent result
I have sold very little of what I have crafted maybe 4-5 of each except for Gentleman Dinners interested in what products I have leftover: http://tw-db.info/?strana=invent&x=af3c1aa9c4fab371588cea5062443c42488fcd20
