@@fceuro8305 Money from collecting is unpredictable. It can be very good when a load comes in but most people hove tons of incomplete sets and sell them off as a cherry on top when something completes. When animals are spawning I can predict exactly when I make my $500. Worst case I start the bear guy legendary bounty and take my wagon over near Blackwater and Manzanita to fill up on three star bucks.

I feel like R* designed their clothes viewer the way they did so that people will end up buying more options, just to see how they *actually* look. The number of times I've bought shirts or vests only to find out something's off about it, makes me sad there isn't some toggle feature. It would be nice to see how the shirt I'm viewing looks with my equipped vest and/or coat. An over/under toggle for pants when viewing boots would be nice too, that way you don't have to go to your wardrobe, select boots over pants, then go to the shop just to see the whole boot. Someone who didn't forget their glasses at home could fix the placement for off-hand holsters and guns while they're at it. The studded bandit holster is the only premium looking holster that every gun sits well in (the Mauser is almost passable even).

@@K1NG_of_ReVeNGe1 Collector is my main, and sometimes when I'm collecting I come across animals in large quantities at times, especially if those locations include places like Tall Trees, the Grizzlies, the Heartlands, and Big Valley. In the event of which I get bored while collecting, and I've confirmed that animals are actually spawning. I'll bring out the wagon and hunt them. Collecting is fun, and profitable, but sometimes running around the map can get boring and tiring. I wanna mix things up and shoot those perfect elk and deer wherever I find them. Also since Trader works like the MC/Gunrunning businesses in GTA, I can get away with being relatively lax and still get money when I'm not collecting.

I’m not broke, now that is. Started in on the spring update. MAN WHAT A GRIND! Hunting & fishing was really your best option in between stranger missions. Grind your tail off for you to blow it in one second. Just to upgrade to a tier 3 ability card. Just to realize you don’t even like/use it. Ability cards & the pamphlets. Oh the grind. So I took full advantage of the double gold before the frontier pursuits update. Hit the collector roll wide open. Luckily with just a few things left to purchase. Setting at 378gb & 42k. I also learned to wait and really think about something before I purchase it. Although I really enjoy the stew pot & bar expansion. I only purchased them because they kept popping up in my daily challenges. @ .5 gold over time I’ve made my money back plus some.

[@ziploc2000]

I can't tell you what is "you". As for me, I learned during my solo/story play through (3 actually) that most of the stuff I was going to be doing, and that I enjoyed doing, was rough, bloody, muddy, grungy, and scruffy. When online beta opened up, I made my character to match... rough and scruffy. I'm not wearing my prison outfit. But my main outfit I completely bought within a month of beta start, and most of it is the same "working clothes" I wore all the time as Arthur Morgan. If you really like wearing what looks like a 1700's European nobleman's outfit to hunt and skin deer, or think a super shiny black leather outfit makes you a better bounty hunter, more power to you. I do like fancy holsters and gun belts, but otherwise I'm perfectly happy as a scruffy nerf herder.

The common response was something like, "But I want that new jacket." You've ranked up higher than me and have more cash and gold but I almost always buy what I need. I don't buy clothes and weapons just because they're on offer for a limited time. That's stupid.

But you sir, got my subscription, its just meaningful and informative content every video.

[@royhill4167]

I've grinded since beta, I've only bought the essentials, once the roles dropped the cost was no problem. Whereas a ton of players are now having a hard time leveling up their character to enjoy the same benefits I have. For example I play online with a player who is great at PvP and loves to battle all the time and thus blows through ammo and supplies constantly. He's always broke. We've been playing since beta and enjoy the same gameplay, but I choose to take a little time to prepare and earn some money so when I leave to session I'm not in the negative. People are in too much of a hurry with a game that is designed to be at a slow pace. Bottom line it's all about patience. I've been very patient with this game and now I'm sitting on 140k 700gold. And have all the cards weapons and roles it has to offer and money is now extremely easy to acquire. My less patient friends how ever are broke an rely on players like me to enjoy the new content. So for those of you who have been patient and are in a good spot don't be upset that rockstar doesn't favor high level players in new updates. You already have and earned your advantage and are using them, for noobs, be patient of find a different game

[@dats3]

You've taken the same approach as I and I've been playing since the beta dropped too. I have everything I need $15k in cash and 300 gold I'm in pretty good shape. After I maxed out every role what I like to do is find noobs and help them level up. The only broke ones that I run into are the ones that feel the need to buy every gun, gun customization, and clothing item available. The biggest problem I have is finding time to play and keeping up a daily challenge streak.

$2,000 wont be enough for any update though. For an update i think you need at the very least 200 gold and $10,000 in order to get anything you may want or need and not go broke doing it

[@Phantombay415]

U need 25k or more to not be considered broke and actually enjoy the game without worrying about spending money plus 100 gold

Even though they wont, but they should make a way to buy gold bars. Hell, I'd happily buy a bar for $500

[@FriikD]

I'd say a bar is worth around $250. It takes about 2-3 hours to do all daily challenges for 11 gold bars vs 5 hours to do all collectibles for $4000.

The fact that for 1 hour grinding you can finally afford that hat you liked

[@2.25.am_7]

I just think of it as real life. Personally, I dont care how I look, what my guns look like if I dont have to buy it. If I can afford items without breaking the bank then I'll occasionally buy it. It gets hard to get used to but it saves you in the long run

[@bluesman6338]

Become a Collector and you’ll never go broke. Always travel with your metal detector out. When near any building, put metal detector away and feel for any vibration in your controller.

[@wisscal]

3:17 and add the cost of the stable upkeep (which rises for every horse you own) your looking at a big bill

[@hydrogradd]

Easy fix: save up and buy shovel and metal detector, collect coins every day. Full set = $540 +1500xp If you map them out suffciently it may only take up to an 45minutes to an hour.

[@bevzilla8863]

What sucks is when you grind and grind and you get a glitch where your camp is gone and isn't loading up and the butcher shops are gone. I grinded for pelts and carcasses and was taking them to Cripps and my camp would not appear. Knowing I would lose them I went to the butcher shop and soon as I got there it was gone. This happens to me all the time. Between my camp disappearing and the moonshine shack freezing up I've wasted so much time grinding for absolutely nothing. Rockstar needs to gift us something for that.

[@mileshaley77]

I’m one that got all Ability cards and all upgrades. I had A LOT of money, and now only have $4,000 left. I wanted to have the playing options like you said, but I also tend to use the same 4 cards every time. Lol.

[@arvindsrivatsav5916]

for me it's collecting horses, the fact that they can be named and bonded with really makes it a much more fun filled experience than buying cars at GTA Online, i got my reverse dapple roan nakota for 18 gold bars and its really tempting to buy a lot of them beautiful horses.

[@Grey_Ghost]

Bought the game during Christmas, hadn't had a chance to play any of it yet. Heard about the free giveaway, so jumped straight into online as a total noob few days ago. I've made it to rank 10 only completing 1 Sheriff mission, and 1 Stranger mission (an Irish guy sent me to rob a coach, really got dropped into the deep end on that one), and failing 2 missions from the Stranger in Blackwater. Ran a delivery wagon off a steep drop while looking the other way (like in the first minute of the mission lol), and couldn't deliver the last piece of mail due to wasting time being confused about stuff like where the mailbag was & what constitutes a mailbox in the old west. I wouldn't say I'm broke ($100), but I don't seem to have enough to buy anything meaningful for myself either. Also I think I made a big mistake on choosing my first free dead-eye card. Seems I should have taken Paint it Black, but I took the health regen one instead. To top it all off I still haven't gotten the freebies I rushed into online for, and yes I've checked the Horse Inventory.

[@whehehenejej4833]

Here’s a tip if u own the naturalist role use legandary animals to boost ur trader and do bounty hunter for easy gold while ur waiting for ur trader stock to fill up so u can sell

[@eldorphoto]

get to 15 gold bars from dailies challenges (do at least 1 every day so that the bonus ticks), purchase trader role; get to another 25 gold bars (doing the extended dailies x bonus) get moonshiner; mix them so that you always either hunt, do bootleg missions or delivering (I deliver trader short distance) and get tons of XP & $$$$ aka profit... if you favor collector start with that it's more $$$ but I hate doing it.

[@SunBunz]

Wait for discounts! They pop up all the time! Also you often get free items! ALSO, level up on Roles and your character overall. You'll spend less on things you want, just wait, keep saving, then use the discounts or get it free later!

[@JoeMartinez18]

I already made my weapon style. Point main part of gun blue/black AMD the rest remains Renault Iron with the decorations the same and the word that redish colour scheme. I love it.

[@druu988]

You need the shovel and metal detector it’s vital to progressing to the game for collectibles

[@crazyyobbo]

I admit, I wanted to take advantage of the moonshine shack discount so I did go and buy some gold, and then I MAYBE got bored of grinding and dropped a cool 22 bars on the bar

[@wmgthilgen]

I've been riding the same nag, wearing the same clothes, have the same weapons. Over a 100 gold bars and a couple of hundred thousand in game dollars. Money and gold are not important, if one just plays the game.

[@therealredneck41]

It's not hard to make money, it just takes dedication. If you find the grind hard, it's only because you're doing it wrong. The two primary ways to make money are to trade furs with Cripps and run shine with Maggie. On any given day, I can do roughly 2 Trader sells and sell roughly 6 batches of shine. I have 2 sets of tips for both roles. Trader tips: 1: Only do Full Local Large deliveries. They're shorter, safer, and pay only $137 less than a distant. Time is money, and it'll all be for nothing if a griefer comes a knockin. 2: Know your hunting grounds, set up camp nearby. You want to have your camp set somewhere where there's lot's of good game, but still close to your sell location. Just east of Wapiti, just north of Bacchus Station, there is a hill and potential campsite that if you sell from you have a 50/50 chance to local sell to Bacchus Station which is just 50 yards down the hill. Decent game in the area too. 3: Fill up the Materials to the "H" in Halted before resupplying, less work you'll need to do in the future. 4: Don't buy the hunting wagon, unless it's on sale. With a single horse, you can potentially carry 4 animals. 2 side stowed, one rear stowed, one lasso dragged. Therefore, on the best run possible you can have a perfect cougar, buck, and 2 rabbits which equates to roughly a third of your materials bar. The ability to transport more through the hunting wagon is simply imo not worth $875. Shiner tips: 1: Drive safe. Seems obvious. Go slow on sharp turns and when crossing rivers and bridges, avoid hitting rabbits and bumps. 2: Do a bootlegger mission right before you sell. On top of lowering the cost of the mash when you return, it'll also reduce the chance of Roadblocks appearing. 3: Do 2 star recipes. 3 star recipes require that you waste a Collector's Collectable in order to brew them and only pay roughly $21 more. Factoring in the average cost of the mash and the value of the collectable used, that's a net loss in profits. Along with the fact that buyers don't always want the 3 star shines. I always run Berry Cobbler, it sells for a max of $226 and costs only $31.50 to make a batch of, assuming the mash cost is medium. Raspberry bushes grow all around Valentine and therefore are free. Low risk, high reward.

[@djcrystar]

I spent 7 days last week just doing the collectibles... 3-4 hrs at a time, map out which way you wanna run your routes and collect everything in those areas, flowers,coins, liquor bottles, cards, I also hunted then donated that to crips, also had like 30 maps that I boosted from dead folks ...yes it's a grind but I went from 35 gold bars and like 3k to 140 gold bars and 14k in cash .... in 7 days .. the daily challenges also helped I'm now on my 32nd day in a row... That's a half of a good bar for every challenge I complete...some of the challenges pay double sometimes... Find 3 coins , digging 3 collectibles so that one challenge was 1 gold bar... Play the game the way you want but try this and in no time you'll see both your bank and gold jump up quick... Oh and have fun😁

I have worn the same 2 outfits since I found one I liked, that outfit, and that outfit with a jacket.

[@dawarrior76]

There is planty of money in this game...collector role is the one that pays the most in any case scenario...it may get boring...but every single online game is about grind. While you go looking for collectables a lot of thing may happen, from casual encounters to meeting players...also you will always complete at least one daily challenge...selling items will make you rich and it’ll give you a ton of XP. Now it surely works in a different way from what it used to...bit it is still the most rewarding activity...I’ve got over 130 thousand dollars and over 600 gold bars more or less... Never go broke again...

[@stephaniesayer7191]

This one is less of a problem now because they've added the long press purchase to some things, but I wasted so much money accidentally buying saddles because of the horribly laggy shop interface for these. I have around a dozen Belanger saddles because of this. That's the only thing that really killed my cash and that was back in beta.

[@derpyderp6719]

When I first stared out in this game, I was lucky enough to get a head start from the help of a friend. Earned around $18,000. I invested that early boost in money for the roles when I earned enough gold to get them, and never let myself drop below 10k while paying for ability cards, occasional cosmetics, and tools for each role.

[@someapostate7518]

Lowkey, if you collect all the collector items and turn them in simultaneously you get around 3500+ dollars. It's a bit of a grind, but if you're hurting for cash, you can do that if you've got nothing to do.

[@induarora1806]

Nice vid... Btw what coat r u wearing???

[@DixieWhiskey]

Regularly sell moonshine. Get your challenge streak up. I have around 6k right now and that's even after buying some new clothes for outfits and I brought my gold bars up from 12 to 115 just by doing some challenges every day. Hell, for the past few weeks if I don't feel like playing, I'll only do the challenges that can be done quickly.

[@gta-5gamer285]

I started last month and I have 2 horses nice outfits and very good guns but I’m rank 20 and I have about 500 dollars left but I got the collectors bag on the 29 th February collector role bag discount and I got the shovel as well

In bounty hunting, the higher rank you are the more money you get. At Rank 5 you can $20-$40 for the normal bounties, legendary bounties can be anywhere from $40-$100.

There was A LOT of times that I was broke and had like 1.25$ and 0.57 gold bars, but RIGHT now, I have 20k cash (actually) and 105 gold bars, legit (didn't bought any) (ok maybe just the 5$ 25 gold bar one time offer, but nothing else). There was tons of times of me being broke and ready to give up with this game and saying to my self that is IMPOSSIBLE to get money, BUT! Look at me now.... I have 5 of the BEST horses with the same best saddle in the game, ALL the weapons that I EVER wanted (full customized), the best ability cards (for me) lvl 3, a TON of clothes, all the roles (half of them lvl 20 and the other half of them lvl 10). And 20k cash and 100 gold still remaining in my balance, and all of that because I DIDN'T give up that day, that I had only 1.25$ and 0.57 gold bars.... Ow and I am also rank 173.... (All of these things that I said are actually true) (and sorry if I sound like i flex😅, I'm just saying)

[@LisaMarie042]

Another biggie that gets me is the price of pamphlets! My God! I was at the fence and went thru his sell menu and saw one pamphlet that was $800!! In story mode u can find them in the environment (which I don't know why they can't add certain ones to the environment at specific ranks. This could be a thing once u hit rank 100) or pay $40-60, which is far more reasonable. I somehow got the Special Health Cure pamphlet, but until I'm rolling in the dough, or absolutely _need_ something, they can stay w the Fence. The prices in online vs story mode, are insane for _everything._

[@liamgalwey5616]

I remember when the frontier pursuits came out. I had to grind so hard to get the bounty hunter role then relizing I got so little cash so had to grind even more just to get the trader role but i grinded so long to get the bars I ended up getting $1000. So it lucrative if you grindfor like two weeks straight and don't stray away from the grind.

[@thprincej2638]

i’ve got around $3600 and around 16 gold because i’m a cheapskate and i can tell if i spend it all something good will come out but i’ve still got a moonshine shack with bar and band expansion along with a 10 gold interior and all the other roles which help me make the money back, i’ve also got 6 horses and a bounty wagon because i play the game a lot as even if it’s boring i still enjoy going fishing and hunting

[@blkstr301]

The only non-aesthetic purchase I made with gold (not counting roles) was the horsemanship holster, which gave me an advantage as a level 9 with a lvl25 item. only time i'll ever spend it like that though

[@shrekfan2734]

Great video Zumie but, where is your friday video? Im waiting for it😁

[@ronaldhinton1245]

Bounty hunter is the best payout in my opinion since legendary bounties don’t have a time limit and the longer you take to complete a bounty the more money you get you can go afk for hours and comeback to hundreds depending on how long you were afk

[@pooey]

Nowadays, the collector role is utter shite. Since the moonshiner update, the randomised spawns of the collectibles makes relying on online maps very difficult. Sometimes, only one of the 20 spots for a set marked on the map actually feature the promised items. This makes the role tedious to manage and extremely boring and frustrating. When youve found all but one tarot card of a set, the set could be sitting stagnant for months. Its luck-based. This leaves players stuck collecting flowers and alcohol until they can get the metal detector. Bounty hunter and trader roles are pretty much useless, with the bounty hunters low payouts and the games low animal spawn rates. This makes them feel grindy and takes away the fun. Though the moonshiner business is a step in the right direction, on top of other cash purchases, it requires you to spend atleast 40 gold bars to even get the opportunity to start the role, which is far too steep and takes weeks to rack up from 0 bars. And i havent even mentiones the error messages.. But, the most annoying part of it all is that, despite the constant pleads from the community, rockstar turn a blind eye to these issues and, even when they address them after months of ignorance, they fail to act on their word. The RDO fanbase is loyal, but i can sense the fanbase crumbling and, if rockstar dont get their shit together, they might just get what's coming to them.
