In my opinion, this is the easiest way to be 'successful' on iZone. When I say succesful, I mean the ability to buy the weapons you need to be better than people. So, this is kinda a money making/new player guide.
1). First logging on
~When first logging on, you're going to start with the ER Beamer. You're going to want to do missions, considering you stand no chance in showdown.
~You're going to want do either the 'Artic Mission' or 'Rescue 10 Rebels'.
-Artic Mission: I favor this mission over any other. You can mine, you can get graalium, and you can do the mission farely fast and make a decent amount of money.
-Rescue 10 Rebels: This mission is quite easy. You basically just knife 10 stranded rebels and bring them back to there home base. You make an ok amount of money, and can do it fast.
~You're then going to want to do missions till you save 1,000 gralats. Will take 45 minutes-3 hours. You can mine while you do mission, or you don't have too. I recommend doing mission around whenever school gets out in your time zone. Then more people are their to do them with you, speeding up the process.
~The key is saving up 1k gralats. Once you save up 1k gralats, buy the Metallic rifle. The metallic rifle is one of the best guns. It is hard to dodge, decent damage, and works great in showdown.
~Now that you have the metallic rifle, you need to start doing showdown. You may get frustrated by losing, but after a few rounds you will get better and better. The metallic rifle is good enough to compete with all other guns. You can use the metallic rifle to save up for the next weapon or item you want.
~You need to practice. At first, showdown won't make you much money. But then, after a while you will start to win. You will get the hang of dodging the lasers. Then, you will start to win 50-75% of the time. That is where you make a lot of money. You make 50-100 gralats for winning + bounty. You can make 75-200 gralats a match. Every 30 minutes, you can make atleast 500 gralats once you get the hang of it. Then, your on your way to success. The key to zone money making in my opinion is showdown.
iZone is a pk server. To be 'successful', showdown is the key.

Hopefully this guide helps you new players just starting zone and have no idea how to even catch up to anyone.
