"The Worst Run."

Millenium (Admin)

This is the optimized path for completing the copper run.

Introduction

Copper can be processed and sold as ingots. It is one of the first recommended runs for newer players as its payout can be increased with possession of a Worker's Protection License.

Starting the Run

Before starting this run, it is strongly recommended to check the price of copper for optimal profits and to follow the list below to make sure you have all the required equipment.

A pickaxe (Purchased at gas stations/markets) Required for collecting copper
Food & Water
Bergen Backpack for space
A vehicle to store the copper
Copper processing license ($8,000 at the DMV)
Head to the Copper Mine east of Kavala to fill your vehicle and optionally your backpack using left windows key in the copper mine area

Processing

Head northwest of the copper mine to the copper processor to refine your goods into copper ingots.
To process, scroll wheel on the processing machinery inside of the shed, you can either process from the vehicle or from your backpack and must remain 25m of the machine.
Before pressing Process, it will give you the time required to process. Canceling processing will process items up to the progress you obtained.

Selling

After finishing processing take your vehicle to the copper trader directly south of the copper processor.
Scroll wheel on the copper trader to sell your copper ingots on your person, you will need to manually remove the ingots from the vehicle to sell.
When finished selling go to any ATM the closest being in Neri south of the trader to store the money via scroll wheel or left windows key on the ATM.

Payout

Using a box truck with no storage upgrades and a Bergen backpack (210 Copper Ingots) will yield a payout of $419,160 (WPL: $482,034)

Run Time

Using a box truck with no storage upgrades, Bergen backpack, and Tier-4 turbo this run will take 27 minutes and 30 seconds with no real difference with any alternate routes posted in the screenshots. With a Worker's Protection License to increase processing, it will take 23-25 minutes.

 =='''Introduction'''==
-One of the many [[Legal Runs|legal runs]] that you can do on the [https://wiki.olympus-entertainment.com/wiki/Map_of_Olympus island of Altis] is copper mining.

-Copper is an ore found in the ground that can be processed into and sold as ingots. It is one of the first recommended runs for newer players as its payout is viable enough for small to medium scale operations that can be increased with possession of a
-[[Worker's Protection|Worker's Protection License]].
 =='''Starting the Run'''==
-Before you begin, it is a good idea to check the market value of copper using the market tab on your “Y” menu to make sure nobody has sold copper recently to maximize your profits. It is also recommended to stop by the DMV and purchase a “copper processing license” as it is a prerequisite for processing the ore into ingots 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. You will want to begin this venture by retrieving your vehicle of choice from the truck shop southwest of Kavala. From there it will be a decent drive out to the Copper Mine, which is located east of Kavala where you will gather copper ore. Upon arrival, you will position yourself close to the copper mine icon on the map as within its proximity is the harvesting zone where you will be able to use your windows key to harvest the ore. The mine itself is definitely “off the beaten path” so you will not have to worry about concealing your vehicle. Once you have collected the desired amount of ore you will then proceed to the copper processor.

 =='''Processing'''==
-Fortunately, the processor is also located away from most high-traffic areas and roadways as it is nestled in the very rear of a small-scale mining facility. For peace of mind, you can also park your vehicle behind the large blue warehouse where the processor is located to keep it out of view of the main road. You will begin processing the copper ore into ingots by filling your inventory from your vehicle and using your scroll wheel to open the processing menu. It will take a long time to process so be prepared to be vulnerable and keep your wits about you. Fortunately, there is a bonus for processing that will incrementally give you faster progress as you process more copper if you possess a [[Worker's Protection|Worker's Protection License]]. You may also choose to process an entire vehicle full of raw materials into processed items. Players can select to process from a selected vehicle but multiple players may not process from the same vehicle. The time taken to process the inventory of the vehicle will be displayed and canceling processing will process all items up until the point of cancellation. Buffs gained from processing will also apply to the rate at which the vehicle is processed as well.

 =='''Selling'''==
-After you have processed everything you will depart down the MSR (Main State Road) directly south to the Copper Trader. Park close to the building that houses the trader as you will be very vulnerable while selling and, if killed, will drop all cash obtained on the ground for other players to take. When interacting with the trader you may also double click the copper ingots in your inventory to select the total amount that you are carrying for faster selling. Once you have traded all of your copper for cash, quickly travel to either the south to access the [https://wiki.olympus-entertainment.com/wiki/Banking ATM] in the town of Neri, or to the north to deposit your cash in the [https://wiki.olympus-entertainment.com/wiki/Banking ATM] located at the Kavala Hospital.
