I was just curious. If you have five NPCs who buy Candy and twelve people checking them regularly, this kind of gets a little silly. Wouldn't it be hard to sell Candy in the Dome? Is there a way to add a few more?
All I'm saying is that it's really tight. I get that they want people to do things for chy and to find other avenues but there are limits.
All I can suggest is getting to them first, destroying your competition as Crashdown said, or hiring people to run it to the NPCs you aren't able to get to yourself.
You pay 1500 for candy. You make 1900 back - 2300. You give someone half and risk losing chy.
In my opinion, corpie 'hustle' is not meant to look like mixer hustle. Running, doing side gigs, selling candy. All of that is secondary at best. In my opinion, the number one best way for a corpie to make additional chyen, or 'hustle' as most like to call it, is all about wielding the corporations wealth to your character's advantage. It's not any of the more automated systems limited by weekly caps or even those automated quests that were recently disabled.
Learn to wield the corporations money to your character's advantage and your bank account will grow and you will start to feel like you are playing an actual corpie. It will take some creativity to find reasons to spend the corporations money. It will take some balls and smarts to make sure you get a little pay day every time. It will take time and effort to hire people and 'do the paperwork' for lack of a better generic term that doesn't give away too much IC information. But running crates and selling things to NPCs also takes time and effort.
I don't know how long your character has been a corpie. It sounds like it hasn't been crazy long and I suspect that access to the tools needed to start wielding your corporation's chyen has either only recently been unlocked or is coming soon. If I were a new corpie I'd be spending this early time learning the ropes and figuring out a bunch of ways I can pay other PCs things in the name of my corp. Things that are themely, involve others and are reasonable enough to gain the corporations approval.
Good luck and have fun!
I know that topside is different than the mix. However, it is very hard to be 'better' and to do that CPI strong shit when a mixer can hustle and make more chy in a day than you can in a week.
And yes, I know running candy isn't supposed to make one rich, but there aren't many other hustles available. Or I haven't been shown them.
Just a general reminder that we should not be sharing IC information, IC pricing/payouts, or advice on how to ICly navigate situations on the BGBB. IC topics and guidance are best left for IC mentorship.
Thanks!
If you believed most Mixers were making ten thousand chyen or more every day throughout an entire week you were very mistaken and being given bad information.
Also Ox1mm I'm going off my IC knowledge of what my character and those around mine made.
Long and short answer here is that nothing is changing, the issue at hand is working as intended and it's up to you to adapt.
