iEra Money Making Guide- Part 1 Shelling
 
Hey everyone, it's been a while since I've made one of my guides and I've been meaning to make this one for quite a while. This guide will be a 3 part series and will give you some of the best tips and tricks to maikng money on iEra. I will put out the other 2 parts once I get the time to make them. I hope you all find this useful, enjoy :d.

Introduction

Shelling is probably the most popular way to make money on iEra. It is pretty simple once you get the hang of it and it requires a low start up cost. The only problem that I find with shelling is that it can get quite boring so thats why I suggest you do it with friends, but that may lower your productivity. Here are some basic stats to know for shelling:

Start up cost: 50$ for 1 shovel (Recommended that you have at least 500$ for 10)
Profit Per a shovel: Approximately 200$
$'s/Hour: Approximately 4k-6k an hour

Starting Out

To start you're going to need to purchase a shovel at either Israfel's Shell Shop: http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...rt%201/097.png
or at Bell's Shell Shop: http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...rt%201/098.png

Once you enter the shop you should see the shovel for sale on the counter for 50$

*TIP* It is recommended that you purchase several shovels so that when one breaks you dont have to go back and buy another.

Shelling

Once you have purchased your shovel(s), head down to the beach and find a nice clear area to begin digging.

*TIP* Digging in a straight line makes it easier and quicker to pick up your shells. To keep in a straight line you can dig along side and object so if you accidently get off your line all you have to do is correct yourself with the object.

Selling

Once you have all the shells that you need head back to either Israfel's Shell Shop or Bell's Shell Shop to sell your shells. Go inside and grab the silver counter.

A window with all the different types of shells should appear and you should be able to sell them from there.

Crabs & Crab Shells

When shelling you have a chance to dig up a crab NPC that will attack you. thta's why it is best to have a melee equipped on you along with your shovel to fight off the crabs.

When you kill a crab they have a chance to drop a crab shell. Crab shells can be sold at Wandi's Crab Shack: http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/...rt%201/104.png

Once inside just go up to a bin, grab it, and then sell them in the little silver window that pops up.

Ya, I found using a backhoe instead of a shovel on the shell-covered admin island works much better

If I assume that I earn the maximum of ~6k an hour, that would mean I need 200k/6k=~33 hours of non-stop shelling to earn enough money for a BAR.

Ahhhhhh... *_*

Anyway, the location is somewhere crowded. That's all I'm gonna say.

Make it to a tinyurl, and put it as your status.
It won't help anyone on here, when none of us are real noobs.
