Note: There are "secret" locations around the map, these include wild horses that can be ridden (but not tamed), mansions with lootable chests, and roleplay locations like the trains.

Starter Tips:
1. Your compass tells you where everything is. If you can't find something or someone, look at your compass.

2. You drop the money in your Wallet when you die. Store your money in a Bank, that will keep it safe until you are ready to use it.

3. Never walk anywhere. If you lose your starter horse, spawn in Amarillo, walk to the Decker mine, and mine ores. Walk back to town and process, then sell the ores. It only costs 1250 to buy the starter horse, which is 47 emeralds or 209 coal. To many players, 1250 is nothing, and if you say "I'm so new and bad I don't even have a horse" I'm sure someone might take pity on you and drop 1k or something. Its not hard to get a horse. Never walk anywhere, its a waste of time and food.

4. You get money by going to Mines -> Ore Processor -> Gem Collector (no pvp) or Drug Farms -> Rebel Base Drug Processor -> Drug Dealer (pvp). Each farm and rebel base only produces one type of drug. You can also get money by raiding Indian Camps. The closest Mine (Decker) and Drug Farm/Base (Tobacco) is near Amarillo. The closest Indian Camp (Kootenai) is near Ellsworth.

5. When you kill an innocent person, you go Rogue for a few minutes, which lets other people track you and calls the attention of any Sheriffs online.

Here are your long term goals:
1. Join a team with a headquarters. This will let you /team hq, which is the /home command, and will make your time here much more enjoyable since you will never have to walk back to town again.

2. Your starter horse sucks. Buy a faster one, asap. You can work up to buying Horse 2 which is the fastest non-respawning horse. It only costs 2500. You could earn that in 1 or 2 mining trips, or 1 drug trip. The respawning horses cost 275,000-350,000, but they respawn 1 hour after being killed. For these elite horses, you should buy Speed or Storage first. The Tank horse really isn't practical.

3. Buy guns: Illegal are always better. Pistols are rarely worth buying, unless you plan on needing the dps output while your primary is reloading. Buy armor and potions: If illegal guns are the first tier of being pvp elite, Diamond armor is the second tier, and having potions like morphine (regen) and whiskey (prot) are the third tier. Sheriffs will usually be able to kill you unless you have diamond armor and a gun, at least.

Protip: Always use F3&B. Check out other guides on F3&A.
Protip: Use the 10 seconds of spectator when you are sent to jail to scout out good ores to mine. If you do not have a bounty, you can use the 10 seconds to scout the area where you died, giving intel to your team, or even ride your horse away as spectator for 10 seconds in an effort to hide it or get it safely into No-PvP.
Protip: When raiding an Indian camp use the T-G rifle, aim for headshots, and buy your ammo at a legal arms dealer for maximum profit.

Dsaw's Steps to Get Enough Money Without Sitting at a Processor All Day:
If at any point you cannot afford to complete a step, return to the previous step.
1. Find a team with a HQ

2. No horse? Go to a close mine, and mine until you can buy a horse. /team hq

3. Find out if you're good enough at pvp to kill people. Yes a. No b.

4a. Buy a gun (not a pistol) and look for Rogues. Rogues often have the loot of several players in their greedy little pockets, and often have guns for you to sell!
4b. Buy a Diamond pick and return to mining.

5a. Start killing bandits, particularly those who have a bounty higher than 7k, since if you loot just their head, it pays for the ticket you earned for shooting them, plus they have loot. Never melee unless you have to, the bounty increase is too high. Enjoy the neverending slaughter.
5b. Buy a Rifle, and go to an Indian camp. Start killing Indians. Enjoy the neverending slaughter.

6. If you prefer, you can sit at a drug processor all day.You will make money faster, but it will be tedious unless someone shows up to kill you. Then it will be exciting for a few seconds.

The Biggest Tip I Can Offer: Be careful not to spend too much time making money. You will have wasted your time. It's better to make Enough money, and then use it to have fun. If you are not paying rent for a house, and you are not dying all the time, it is very simple to get Enough money.

 

This guide doesn't care about politics, the list of dangerous players is in no particular order, and I require a high degree of proof to put someone on the Betrayer list.

@Eso did you betray some of your former teams by stealing money from them?
