#'''Spawn & Gear Up'''
#:Choose your preferred city, many people recommend Kavala or Athira. After that, obtain the required gear listed above.
#'''DMV'''
#: Go to the DMV and buy/pull a vehicle. While any vehicle will work, keep in mind the truck capacity and the risk of driving that vehicle.
#'''To the Quarry'''
#: Chose which Quarry you want to go to.  The High Yield Quarries, North of Rodopoli, and South of Agios Dionyisos are most profitable, but also where most people will be mining.  Regular Quarries are less profitable but less likely to be occupied. Once you have arrived you can use the scroll wheel to select '''Mine Quarry''', following that you will be prompted with a message saying "you have collected____". Once your inventory is full you should receive a message saying mining complete. Proceed to take the minerals you gathered and put them in the trunk of your car. <br/> (you can access the trunk of your car by pressing "T") 
#'''To the Mineral Processing'''
#:Once you have arrived at the Mineral Processing  you can use the scroll wheel on the sign and select "process ___ ". <br/>(Keep in mind that if you do not have the required licenses there will be a small fee for processing each mineral.)
#'''To the Metal Refinery'''
#:Once you have processed your metal into ingots, you can (optionally) take them to one of the Metal Refineries at Kavala or Sofia to process them further into rolled iron or rolled copper. These items take 3 ingots per roll to craft, and any excess will be consumed, so make sure the amount you're processing is divisible by 3! These rolls sell for a higher amount than their ingot counterparts.
#'''Time to sell''' 
#: You can sell your final product at 2 locations.
