Tobacco Guide

Tobacco

Tobacco is a valuable crop on Altis used in the creation of cigarettes and cigars that can be sold for profit. This crop can only be located at the one farm location currently established on the island of Makyrnisi, which lies in the middle of Pyrgos Bay. However, due to the harmful nature of the cigarettes and cigars it creates, the APD has determined that it is illegal for civilians to be in possession of tobacco, rolling paper, cigarettes, or cigars.

Gathering

• For Cigarettes:
  • The first step in the creation of cigarettes and cigars is to go to the tobacco field and collect tobacco leaves.
  • Once you have your tobacco, you will also need to gather pine planks, which will later be processed into paper to roll your cigarettes or cigars.
• For Cigars:
  • If you are planning to make cigars rather than cigarettes, you will additionally need to gather unprocessed cocaine from the cocaine field.
    • Note: Make sure you have an equal number of each item for the product you intend to make. For example, 1 cigarette requires 1 paper and 1 dried tobacco; 1 cigar requires 1 paper, 1 dried tobacco, and 1 unprocessed cocaine.

Processing

• Cigarettes:
  • To process your gathered tobacco and pine planks into cigarettes, you first need to go to a lumber mill, there you can process your pine planks into paper.
  • Once you have your paper, go to the tobacco factory, located Northeast of the city of Athira. There you will first process your tobacco leaves into dried tobacco.
  • After you have processed all of your pine planks and tobacco leaves, process them again to roll the dried tobacco and paper into cigarettes.
    • Make sure you have a 1:1 ratio of ingredients when you begin processing.
• Cigars:
  • To process cigars, you will follow a similar process to the creation of cigarettes. First, process your pine planks into paper, and then process your tobacco leaves into dried tobacco.
  • At this point, bring your dried tobacco, paper, and unprocessed cocaine to the purification factory West of Athira.
  • Walk up to the NPC inside the factory building and process your items into cigars.
    • Again, make sure to have an equal amount of each ingredient when you begin processing. This time, a ratio of 1:1:1

Selling

• Cigarettes:
  • Now that you have processed all your ingredients into rolled cigarettes, you can take them to one of the drug dealers, located in each of the major cities, and sell them there.
    • After selling, be sure to go store your money in your bank using an ATM. This money is still illegal and can be seized by the APD if you do not, or robbed from you by other players.
• Cigars:
  • For cigars, you will have to drive to the African Warlord to sell them.
    • Again, be sure to store your money after selling, as it can be taken from you until it is securely in your bank account.
