 =='''Starting the Run'''==
-Before you begin, it is a good idea to check the market value of diamonds using the market tab on your “Y” menu to make sure nobody has sold diamonds recently to maximize your profits. It is also recommended to stop by the DMV and purchase a “diamonds processing license” as it is a prerequisite for processing the minerals into gems for sale. It is also necessary to take a pickaxe, which can be purchased at any market or gas station, as well as 3 [[Virtual Items|items]] of food and water to sustain yourself for the duration of the run. Once you are ready you will make your way to the truck shop that can be found just east of Pygros and begin to head directly north to the diamond mines. The mine itself is shielded by a hill and lots of foliage that will both protect your presence from being discovered and will make for very useful cover if you come under attack from rebels. You will be able to begin harvesting once you are near the icon that is displayed on the map by using your windows key to harvest. Moving around while harvesting will increase pick up speed and just might throw off any would-be sharpshooters. Fortunately, there is a bonus for processing that will incrementally give you faster progress as you process more diamonds if you possess a Worker’s Protection License

 =='''Processing'''==
-Once you arrive at the processor you will see as you approach the terrain is very poor for concealing your presence as anyone can see into the hanger and see you. You will want to use the shipping containers and nearby industrial equipment in order to conceal your presence from anybody approaching. You can process diamonds by filling your inventory with the unprocessed product and using your scroll wheel to activate the menu on the processing machinery. You will be extremely vulnerable while you are processing so keep your wits about you and keep aware of your surroundings as not to fall prey to rebels looking for a payday.
