I'd suggest raw materials (Steel,Stones,Power,Water,Wood)
Oil / Gas

To start with.

O, and as a rule of thumb : Food always sucks. ( But is fun :D )

Define "best". Does it mean a product that makes the most money to start with or mosts money in the long run? Does it mean a simple product that won't take much time to produce and sell? Does it mean a fun product that you can "corner" the market with and make a "nice" profit from? Get my drift? :lol:

All Raw materials have an NPC price cap for Q0. In this case you will never get a really high price but you can still make a good profit.

I would suggest you produce stone and wood. Build your mines, for stone, in the yellow zone and buy the water and power needed. For wood build your plantations in the green zone and buy your power, water and seeds needed.

Profits:
Stone - Realm 1
Production cost: 1.8
Power cost 5(0.25) = 1.25
Water cost 1(0.25) = .25
Total cost to produce: 3.3 caps
Price you can easily sell for: 23+ caps
Profit: 19.7+ caps per unit

Stone - Realm 2
Production cost: 1.8
Power cost 5(0.11) = .55
Water cost 1(0.25) = .25
Total cost to produce: 2.6 caps
Price you can easily sell for: 20+ caps
Profit: 17.4+ caps per unit

Wood - Realm 1
Production cost: 9.0
Power cost 50(0.25) = 12.5
Water cost 50(0.25) = 12.5
Seed cost 1(.27) = .27
Total cost to produce: 34.27 caps
Price you can easily sell for: 74.99 caps
Profit: 40.72 caps per unit

Wood - Realm 2
Production cost: 9.0
Power cost 50(0.11) = 5.5
Water cost 50(0.25) = 12.5
Seed cost 1(.27) = .27
Total cost to produce: 27.27 caps
Price you can easily sell for: 70.0+ caps
Profit: 42.73+ caps per unit

Stay away from food, grocery and ice cream. They don't give much of a profit when retailed.

If you go into wood then wardrobes would be your next move.

If you go into stone you could always change over to minerals which leads to chemicals. People are always looking for chemical and plastic suppliers for the E(Electronic) businesses.

The Textile business makes a nice profit from Pullovers, Leather, and Leather Jackets but takes a bit more work to find suppliers than the wardrobe, furniture, industry.

k...ty...

but is it best with a furniture store,or sell 2 other ppl...

and if u sell in a store...

is it possible that u don't sell out when the time is count down??

Because you will be starting out with such low quality wardrobes it would best to retail them yourself. Just remember for wardrobes you should price them to sell in 48 hours if the store is full or 24 hours if the store is half full.

To answer your last question, no. It is not possible for time to run out and not sell out of all your products. Once to time hits 0:00:00 all of your products are sold.

Why is it so important to use the 48 hour full and 24 hour half full strategy for Wardrobes? One, it helps you get a very good price for your wardrobes. Two, it helps the average Wardrobe price to increase or stay at the max price giving everyone a better selling price.

Advertisements are to increase your selling time. Every stop can hold 40,000 "Ad" points. (Well, there is no limit to how many Ad points you put into a store but every point after 40,000 is completely useless.) When a stop has 0 Ad points it can sell one unit of a product for X price. When a stop has 40,000 Ad points it can sell two units of a product for X price in the same time. (Your store sells products in half the time with 40,000 Ad points.)

You are right about Ads in how they add to your Ad points. One Q0 Ad equals 1 Ad point while one Q20 Ad equals 21 Ad points. (Quality of the Ad + 1 = Ad point(s) given.)

(If in Realm 2)
In the market, for each shop, buy 910 of Celtne's Q43 advertisements @ 935 each, for a cost of 850850 per shop.

I wouldn't call that focus :?
When you focus there is 1 item you produce a lot, not 6 items :?

Also i would say, quit producing steel Q0, npc beats producing it most of the time.
In R1 there isn't any profit at all in steel production.
In R2 right now there is a bit of profit when you sell outside the market, but still only 10c each.

You're supposed to maximize profit per hour in your shops, and the optimal selling time varies with product. Gas is optimized selling maybe 70-90% of a shelf in 24 hours. Jewelry varies a lot and takes several to many days to sell a shelf. I've never run any other shops.

(Conditions change every day, so if stats suggest that jewelry selling has improved, clear your shelf and start again on better terms.)
