Intro:
As a new player who just joined I bet u have a lot of questions about what to do. Obviously u can check all the other guides on what are the basics but after than u might be wondering "Ok, so now what do I do?". That's what this guide is for. I will be explaining a few paths u can be aiming for and what options would have depending on your playstyle, future goals and activity. Mind u a good way to find more info is to ask other players as we all have different BS builds, job grinding and course options.

The Absolute Begining:

So u have just started and good job u did cause u got a long way ahead of u. Now u want to be prepared for a few things before u continue on. As you need to decide on what u want to be doing here in this game. U wanna be a reviver? Or a PvPer? A trader or supplier? Or u can be a mugger and bounty hunter too (prbly for later once the game pops off) However things can change and if u want to switch or do smth in between u can. Just make sure you are thinking in you head "I want to be ---". 

You won't be able to have access to most of the main game and every player no matter who has to do this as well.

- Farm intimidation then arson until you are getting a reliable arson success. This can take a while and is based on your INT stat and crime xp. I got my intimidation to 5% before just spamming arsons reliably and some ppl transition over at lower %. 

-Do the medical course, if anyone tells you otherwise then they are dumb or trolling u. Check my other guide Path of Knowledge https://cartelempire.online/Forum/3/158 to see what you should be aiming for. The order can change but medical must be first. U need INT as it affects job success rates a lot and ur BS gains a good amount. Imagine INT as a permanent happy + nerve in 1 stat and u can see the importance. 

The Grind:

U now have to choose what u will be doing for the grind.

-To spend all ur natural e on BS and do the robbery job for money to buy e increasing items and spend on ur BS

-To spend all ur natural e on targets and do arson/GTA  for rep and speedrun to 160k rep to unlock cocaine and alcohol production (xanax and e-cans respectivly, they are e increasing items)

-To spend all ur natural e on BS and do arsons for a hybrid grind path where u have a decent amount of BS by the time u get 160k rep.

This is very important as besides for other professions like reviver everyone will be having to choose this until they make it to 160k rep. At 160k rep u unlock the ability to make cocaine and so u will almost never have to buy from someone again. U will alse be able to make 2 alcohol out of the 12 needed per day so u will be buying alcohol and production mats once u get to 160k rep. However as rn at the time of the making only 16 ppl in the game has acieved higher than 160k rep it will take a long time and u need to choose a method for the best gains when u eventually reach 160k rep.

Money is a means to a end where after getting enough money to spend on the daily e increasing items, buying the best gear (around 20mill cost), DP, production unlocks and production mats money essentially loses its worth a lot as now you will be 100% doing arsons/GTA for unlocking more productions in the future. This amount of money is a lot for a new player but do not worry, if you don't get every e increasing items for a day or a week or a month it is fine as long you are getting smth else. If you go the rep route u forgo e increasing items for faster coke production while a money route would take longer but you would be able to do some of the e increasing items. 

Do remember than these options are only available to those who are constantly active and doing the jobs whenever they finish. The higher tier job which take longer is smth only more high lvl players with a higher crime xp and INT can try doing. However Diablo might add a system which allows players to increase their wait times for more resources which we learned from the disc however it is subject to change and might not even be added or not for a long time.

Conclusion:

So pretty much choose like what me, Diablo and everyone says "Just do whatever you want and think thats fun.". Don't quote them on that ;)  As no matter what happenes as long as ur happy and ok with what u chose its gonna be alr. Cause eventually we all get that 160k rep and have high BS compared to others who will join later. So GL and have fun in CE o7
