Legal Activities/Legal Gathering

Resource Gathering

The following resources can be collected by pressing "F" at their locations. You do not need equipment to gather.

Tobacco

	Unprocessed Tobacco - Unprocessed leaves harvested from the tobacco farm.
	Processed Tobacco - Dried leaves are usable and can be sold to the tobacco trader.
	Cigars - Basic ungraded cigars at their first stage are legal to create and obtain.

Tobacco can be dried in the tobacco processor. The refined product can be sold to the tobacco trader. Alternatively, the tobacco can be further processed into cigars for greater profit.

Cigars can be modified and processed further, but this is an illegal activity.

Plastic Bottles

Plastic bottles can be collected from the dump. These items are utilised in crafting recipes.

Food Items

Hunting

Hunting Knife - Track and skin animals using the hunting knife.

Hunting is one of the more interactive legal methods of gathering. Be warned, there are certain legalities to consider and hunting firearms can be a hefty investment for new islanders.

Islanders can hunt animals to gather meat, skins, and feathers. Hunting yields can be sold to the hunting trader or crafted into useful items or food by restaurant workers.

See the hunting page for more details.

Farming

Seeds - "Use" seeds or assign a hotkey to the seeds for easy planting.

Your first step as a farmer is to purchase seeds from the farming store. Growing wheat and lettuce is a good way to gain initial farming experience.

Your harvest can be sold to restaurant businesses.

Honey Bees

	Empty Jar - Buy empty jars from Money Honey Bees.
	Honey Jar - Collect honey from bee hives and store in jars.

Honey is a valuable resource and there are several beehives around the island to collect it from.

To gather honey, you must be properly equipped to handle the bees. Head to "Money Honey Bees" and purchase a Bee Suit and several empty honey jars. Each cluster of beehives can produce up to 12 jars of honey. Use the Windows key to check the hive and collect honey.

Your filled jars can be sold back to "Money Honey Bees", Papa the trader, or local restaurant workers.

Fishing

Fishing is a great way to build experience and another popular activity for fast-food workers. You must purchase a fishing license and a fishing rod from a supermarket.

Fishing with a rod consists of a few simple steps:

• Using your Windows key to "Cast rod" while standing at a body of water.
• When you hear a splash, press your "F" key to reel in your line.
• You will be presented with a circle gauge skill check. Press 1-5 accordingly when the meter reaches the marked segment of the ring.
• Details of your catch (or lack thereof) will be listed in a notification.

You can sell fish at the fishing trader or check with fast food businesses for a better offer.

History

Grapes and Wine

Wine runs were added in the Texas Life 7.1 update. Grapes could be gathered at vineyards and processed into wine. Both grapes and wine could be consumed.

Gathering grapes gave you farming experience; this run was an alternative to planting wheat and lettuce to develop your farming level. Wine runs were a mid-tier money maker offering a more lucrative further processing into Mexican Wine: an illegal activity.

Wine runs were removed in the New York Life 7.5 update to consolidate runs.
