JOBS
Freezert: You simply just stand around the store and talk to other players in-game that visit it. It will be soon be updated with a more interactive job, this was meant to be social based and laid back for a job. You get paid every minute, along with gaining EXP.
Postal Delivery: You start this job by going up to the NPC in the post office and talking to him. You’ll then acquire a bag and you simply touch the yellow cylinder beacon that glows up in the sky. Rather then being paid per minute, you’re paid and given EXP when you reach the beacon location. Once you do, you deliver the package and you have to go back to the post office to get another one. This job pays more than the BMX and Freezert job, but does require more finesse and a vehicle is recommended as well.
BMX: Talk to Barry in the central park with the pond and real estate building. You must first equip a bike you can acquire from either buying from Boris, who is across from Barry, or buying the gamepass to have it forever. Once that, you’ll be paid and given EXP per the minute, the second you unequip your bike, you lose that income and must go back to Barry to get the job again.
OTHER WAYS TO EARN MONEY
Apples: Collect apples around the map, mainly near in the center river of the island, apples fall from the tree regularly, you can only pick them off the ground.The longer they remain the ground, they’ll degrade in selling price and change color. Red sells the most, while brown sells the least. It goes from red to green, and finally brown. You apples sell to Apple Tender Adam, who is located right across the road from spawn.
Trash: Pick up trash that is very common around the map, and deposit them at nearby trashcans by interacting with them.
Seashells: Find seashells around the beach and bring them to Seashell Sally, who is found on the beach besides the mall. The seashells are small and hard to spot, but can be sold for a lot, with blue being the highest value.
Fishing: If you’re patient, you can equip your rod and fish on any body of water in the map, including the pond and fountain. To fish, simply take out your rod and be close to the blue colored water and click on it. The bob will be deployed and you wait for a fish to be attached to the bob. Once a fish is caught, click again to simply reel it in again. You can sell the fish to Felipe who is behind the real estate building.
