Welcome to Narcos Life! You have now arrived at Lakeside. Before starting to play, you should read through our Rules and make sure you have a basic idea of how Roleplay works. If this is your first time on a roleplay server, you may also want to read through our How to get into roleplay guide.
Spawning in Lakeside
After you have created your character, choose your spawn in Lakeside. Lakeside is the major city where you will meet most of the cool people around.
After you arrived at Lakeside, head over to the Bank. If you open your map, you can see it is right next to the Gas Station in front of you. The bank will have ATMs available for you to withdraw some money.
You get $5,000 to start your new life! This is enough for your first equipment, your first car and everything you need to get started. The ATMs are blue machines hanging on the wall.
Getting your first equipment
Take around $3,000 of your account. However, keep in mind: If you die, you loose all the cash you have on hand! So make sure to always store your leftover money or anything you do not need in the Bank, otherwise you may loose it when you get robbed.
Next step: Head over to the the clothing store! It is the 2nd shop to your right side if you exit the Bank. Get a backpack, some proper clothing and get equipped to start your journey.
The general store is right next to the clothing store. In Lakeside you need to regulary eat and drink - otherwise you may die. So make sure to grab some food and some drinks. If you want to get to your first money-making trip, you will also need a pickaxe. Your inventory should look like this after leaving:
| Amount | Item | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | Burger | You need to eat regulary! |
| 3 | Soda | You need to drink regulary! |
| 1 | Pickaxe | Without a pickaxe you will not be able to mine ores |
| 1 | Roleplay Radio | People are able to call and message you (and vice-versa) if you carry a radio |
| 1 | Bandage | Just for extra safety in case you need it |
| 1 | Repair Kit | If your car breaks down or you've rammed something |
Thats it. Your equipment is settled, you are ready to go. Your first farming trip is waiting!
Buying your car
Your first car will be a small one. However, it will bring you from A to be successfully! You won't have much at the start. Later on in your career (well, if you want to pursue the legal way...) you will have the option to upgrade to larger trucks. For now, we need to stick to a small one.
Choose out of the existing vehicles which fall in your price range. Over time you'll be able to afford better cars, maybe look into racing and do much more other than your normal daily job of getting some money.
Heading towards the coal mine
We will start with coal. The coal mine is on the southern side of Lakeside, right next to Nueva San Cristobal. Head over there and get to the coal mine. You will quickly notice the coal mine by rocks with black particles on them. If you can't find it instantly, well: Just ask some nice people around you! There is a gas station on the way as well in case you need to refuel.
Once you found them, use your pickaxe to mine some coal.
Tip: Almost all goods which can be produced in Lakeside are based around licenses. For coal, you do not need a license. If you plan to expand into other ones, make sure to ask people how much you may need to pay for these licenses before wasting your time and not being able to finish them!
Coal does not need to be processed. Some goods, especially minerals, need to be processed to be used in proper future steps as when you want to sell them or in Crafting. Coal is an exception here. Whenever your truck is full, head the way back to Lakeside.
At the southern side of the town you will find the coal trader (use your map and look out for a coal icon!).
Great job! Your first run was successful and you made some bank. Now its time to get settled!
Moving into your apartment
Every citizen of Lakeside is entitled to their own apartment. You will be able to access it through the big building in the middle of the city, the glass skyscraper. Go up to the elevators and buy it - FOR FREE! You will be able to upgrade it with a Storage as well once you are inside to store your most valueable items when you are around the county (Uprades are down right next to the door at the clothing rack).
Thats it! Welcome to Narcos Life. Now its your choice where to move on. You have a lot of options.
- Keep the legal route and try some farming and fishing
- Join a gang and experience the illegal side
- Join the Sheriff Department and uphold the law
- Help people out at Fire & Rescue
- ... and much more!
