Says you gain networth from money gained from selling items to shops.. Do you think this would only be true if they were items you stole? If that weren't the case, then one could have a wealthy friend give them lots of money, buy items, and just sell them off to shops in order to increase their networth and get a merit, no?

I ponder...

Aerozol: Yeah, that works fine. Also buying and selling items that have little variation in buy/ sell price repeatedly. It's not really exploitation though, as it takes money out of the economy, which I'm sure the coders are happy with...

Feel dumb for asking this but - if I sold a gun to the shop, an then bought something, would I lose the net worth I gained from selling my gun?

Aerozol: Once networth has been gained it can't be lost
so you can buy and sell things at will

Ok so i found the best way to make ur net worth go up and all u need is 300k

1. buy 30 riot gears from the gun shop
2. sell them all
3. repeat until u cant buy anymore

any amount of money would work but i realized that with buy doing that with just 300k u make ur net worth go up to 800k so if ur going for the rank triger this is a very easy way if u have the money.

bit dum i no but yano lol

how do u find out how networth you have got???

TCB: You can't, it's hidden, like your levelling exp.

@ All the people saying "I only just started and haven't gotten any net-worth awards yet:"

The first award based solely on net-worth is The Apprentice Award which requires $1,000,000, the 2K, 50K etc. awards are rank triggers, meaning that every time you pass one, you will receive a rank increase, (like #1 Beginner, #2 Beginner, #3 Inexperienced etc.) meaning you still receive a Merit, but not in the Net-Worth category.

P.S: Don't be surprised if you don't receive your merit 3 and 1/2 seconds after selling the items, it can take hours, even days for Merits to register, so don't complain about that here, I know for a fact that it is extremely irritating for Moderators, and don't do it on TC either, for the same reason. Hopefully, this should prevent a few more monotonous posts on this tutorial.

okay i did an extensive test on networth well kind of extensive, but anyways....
as far as i know the money gained from crimes does not contribute to networth
if it did, i would have gotten to the 1 mil networth in a fraction of the time it took me
i've been keeping track of the things i've sold to the shops since the beginning and everytime i came up with the next rank trigger or award, that was when i ranked up (or got the award)
i literally watched my rank change to eight ten seconds after i sold a stealth virus taking me over 1 million

i could be wrong though :]

If you ask Darwin, however, it states that earnings in the Casino do count for the Networth tally...
("For example winning in the casino, selling items from your item page or selling them back to the stores or docks")
Is it outdated?

TCB: That information comes from TC staff. Of course, we can't 100% confirm the information, regrettably.

what about rehab?counts as networth?

TCB: No

does this work ?

TCB: Yes

If I buy things, does this decrease my networth? Or does it just increase?

TCB: Neither.

so, if i buy item X from the market for £3,000,000
and then sold it in the shop for £1,500,000
would that increase my networth by £1,500,000 or decrease it by £1,500,000 ??

TCB: It increases by 1,500,000

I read the comments, but i have a question about mizzu's comment. I bought the armour, but i could not sell it a big al's. I can only sell it in my items. If i do this, will it still count towards my net worth? Thanks in advance

TCB: Yes, it will.

I been doing some test and by test I mean buying items and selling them back to the store. I came to the conclusion that buying from stores also increases networth.

I had a $10million gap to get next trigger/ $20mil mark. I divided 10million by 60,000 because thats how much full body armour sells for. I subtracted an extra 720,000 left over stuff i solde from previous milestone. When you hit rank/trigger your rank changes instantly but award/ merits come hours later. Well I ranked up before even finishing. I still had to sell 53 items. I calculated how much I have spent and it was barely over $10 million. mind you I did this all in the same day because I just made $10mill milestone and I went for $20 million milestone and it ranked me prematurely. Now I'm going to do final test of getting to 50Million milestone. If I get it prematurely again this means buying adds to networth!! Also I started out with 3million dollars and expected money I planned on losing was 2.3million dollars. and I ranked while losing only 1.5mill

Calculation error probaly, I got $50million milestone but It was from all selling. Sry :*(

So, if you invested your cash in the bank for however long, would that money you got from investing go towards the networth and maybe give you a rank trigger?

TCB: Read the info on the page please.

Which item do you loose least money by buying/selling (least percentage loss) from Big Al's Gun Shop?

how about you dont be so lazy and figure it out yourself????

Networth doesn't work:

I sold about 1M of items to a shop and dont even have 1 networth award

TCB: Hmm, maybe networth is broked...

I know for a fact Poker adds to networth. I was playing and got awards
24/06/08 You have been awarded the Entrepreneur award!
24/06/08 You have been awarded the Highly Distinguished award!

I have tried this method out and i can confim it works very well. altho you lose 300k each time it ranks you up very quickly, i done this for 2 days and now have the 2nd networth award which is the millionaire award..... i ranked up as soon as i hit the trigger but didnt recieve the merits until midnight wen the site closed for its daily update!! I would be doin it all the time if i had the cash!!

quickest way to up the rank is by doing wot EcKoJnR mentioned above.. costly, but it definitely works..

typo..omg im messing it up now..and is there an faster way to sell riot gears?..

It is actually most efficient to buy Six Packs of Beer and sell them back to increase your networth because it has a better buy-to-sell-back ratio, the only thing is that they are cheap and you would be clicking the buy button forever...

A little note about the riot gear method...The full body armour is a better choice, because it has a slightly better buy/sell price ratio at 0.8 (it's 0.75 for the riot gear)...Not a very big difference, but if you spend tens of millions on this, it adds up. Plus, it's also considerably faster, as the full body armour costs 7,5 times more.

hi if i baught like a steyre aug from big als gun shop then in my items press sell on it does that count towards networth ????

TCB: Yes.

does anything that has to do woth owning a company like the price of buying it or income from that affect net worth at all?

im confussed how people say if you spend 300k on buying riot gear and selling it you get 800k networth, because it costs 10k a pop and you sell it for $7,500 can someone explain

"jhjhjh" Since the riot gear is sellable you can repeat the process uintil you got no money left. So the item with the best buy/sell ratio, will get most out of your money. Seems thats riot gear? Not sure, but its easy math :)

By doing this every time you sell something in contributes to networth, and the networth doesn`t decrease if you buy something...

Just found a better and more efficient way than riot gear:

First I went in excel and pasted the Buy and Sell rates and found the ratios of each item (did not do armor/weapons because they take too long to sell), and found the Six-pack of Beer had the highest ratio (7/8, which means for every $8 you spend, you get $7 back, not too bad, like, if you spent 10,000,000 on these, you get 8,750,000 back), anyway, you must have firefox if you want to do this (I guess you could do it on Internet Explorer, I don't know if it has a reload all tabs button).

Go to the city and click on Bits-N-Bobs under East Side, then click the buy button on the Beer. On the "Are you sure page", hold down control and click the yes button a lot (opens a new tab), keep doing it until the tabs won't get any smaller. Then go to the last tab (so you'll know when they're all loaded) and just keep right clicking it and selecting reload all tabs.

Works like a charm.
