Welcome to Storage Hunter Simulation!!!

This is a grind game with the added twist of being super addictive. You will literally keep saying to yourself 'Just one more auction' then realise its 4am in the morning without even realising it.


1. Get your Rare.. Unique and Legendary items verified in lots of 5 or greater... this will give a big boost to you money before getting the tools... and only sell them in your own pawnshop once you purchase it.

2. Use this daily routine....

- Refuel... locksmith.. pawnshop (yours when you get it or the AI's) then atleast 2 auctions.
- If you own your pawnshop then take out any money from your sold items...
- If you do not have your pawnshop yet.. then sell anything that does not need to be verified
- Set aside one day to take your items to be verified until you get your upgraded tools.

3. Forget speed... you can mostly take your time.

4. Always save your game when ending the day.

5. Which ever pawnshop you sell your items in.. will increase the renown / level for that district.. regardless of the district you purchased your items in.

6. You can get a quick boost to your money by selling the furniture in your house... use the 'f' key when inside your house or trailer.

One small tip I'd like to add, you can strip out most of the furniture and other items of every house you have/get, for a boost of cash on hand, if you don't care about what you live in is just a segmented box with a bed and a dresser.
You've got a few rares in the starter "house", worth a few hundred each.
So you get items from a $1000 and up depending on what house you're stripping down.
Just send them to the warehouse at the house when inside, even though you go over the max capacity, load up the car and sell at the closest pawn shop after verifying them.
This can also be done in reverse, for some extended storage through the Architect mode in every house, you pick from the warehouse and place the items in the house for safekeeping.
A little bit of a hassle, but a valid tip if in a pinch.

Beginning

A. Select New Game and then ‘Easy Mode’.

B. Select your Character… I chose the woman of-course :)

C. Do the tutorial...You can see your objectives at the top right of the screen.

1. Press 'Tab' to open your tablet
2. Select the Auctions tab… Sign up to an auction
3. Go to the left garage… the right is your personal storage/warehouse.
4. Select ‘use’ to select your truck.
4a. Drive to the auction.
5. Run to the large green circle to get your auction.
6. Press the space bar to start the auction.
7. Press ‘E’ to make bids.. the auction ends when the red bar reaches the left side.
8. If you win.. right click on any item.. you will need to do this multiple times as you upgrade your tools.
9. Left click to pick up and drop an item.
10. Press ‘E' on chests / safes to open and select the items inside and follow 8. above.
11. I use unlocked chests to store smaller items in.
12. Select ‘E’ to close these chests when finished and then move them as per 9. above.
13. Load up your truck.. please note this has been likened to Tetris.. and the items could jump around.
14. Drive to the pawn shop.. use your map if you have to...
15. Mouse over the pawn shop owner.. select ‘E’ to talk to the pawnshop owner.
16. Sell your items that do not require to be unlocked. Please note.. you can not sell unverified/scanned items.
17. Take any locked chests to the Locksmith.. come back to him at a later time to collect.. he will message you when ready.. use you map to find him.
17a. If you have time.. do a second auction.
18. Take any rare.. unique.. or legendary items to be verified to Black Elk.. you will see as the larger island in your map.. you need to go to specialised shops to get your items verified as you do not have the required tools yet.

Tip

Remember to place any rare.. unique.. or legendary items in your warehouse ‘storage.. right garage’ at your trailer when not taking to be verified... I usually wait until i have 5 before doing a special trip to verify these items.

19. Go to the motel in Black Elk and sleep the night.. save the game and then go and collect your now verified items.
20. Sell these items at the local Pawn shop.

Tip

After you purchase your Pawnshop.. you will only sell rare.. unique and legendary items here. They will sell for a much higher price.

21. If you have not completed gaining $1500 by this point...Continue doing auctions as required to make a total of $1500.
22. make sure you have $1500 in your balance before buying the fixing tool... you want $1000 left over to complete auctions.
23. Get your LvL 1 Fixing Tool to repair Broken items.

24. Take a $2000 loan.. Press Tab and the go to the Loans tab... get $2000 at 20 payments.
25. Get your 2nd level fixing tool.. this will basically double the value of an item and repair items to Normal level.
26. Go do an Auction or 2.
27. Sell your booty and head home back to blueberry for the day.
28, END THE DAY
29. Save the game.

Now for a little Grind...

30. Your going to do atleast 4x the following routines...

1. The starting daily routine as mentioned in the tips above. (8 auctions in total in blueberry)
2. Sell your items
3. Head home to end the day and save.

You need to do this 4x to increase your renown to level 10 and also save $2500 to buy your pawnshop.

31. You should now have renown / level 10.. and atleasr 5 rares / uniques to verify... lets do that..
32. You should now have enough ($2000) + $500 to purchase your Pawnshop. Congrats!!

33. Enter the pawnshop and mouse over the laptop... press 'E' and on the first page.. check the box to allow 'Automatic Listing by Employee'.
34. Now complete 1 more auction so you will have items to list in your shop. (place your items in the store warehouse to the right of your store... the parking spot in yellow
35. This will bring you to the final quest.. purchase a specialisation for your shop... you will need to do atleast 2 more auctions.. maybe more...

36. For the sake of completing the tutorial.. go ahead and save $1500 to buy the Specialisation for your shop... but i would then suggest you save another $3000 to purchase...

a. +13 space cells for $1000... extra sale spots in your shop.
b. +30 capacity for you shop storage.
c. +70% successful haggling... so your worker can get a better price for items

CONGRATS ON COMPLETING THE TUTORIAL!!

So what now?

An awfully long grind ahead but very addicting and satisfying.

- Upgrade your Pawnshop... You will make more money!!
- Then you need to raise your renown / level to 20 in blueberry and save $7500 for your first truck upgrade.
- Then save $2500 to start upgrading the Verification tool. This will now verify Rare (blue) items.
- Then you need to start working on raising your renown in West Black Elk to 30 and East Black Elk to 25 to purchase the pawnshops in both. This will save you from driving from one end of the map to the other.
- You can now continue to stay here until your Renown / Level hits 35 so you open up tier 5 auctions.
- Then its just a matter of getting the required renown (50) in each district and upgrading tools as you go.

You can see the goals in all districts when you go to the map and select each district,, they appear in the top right of your screen.

I sincerely hope you have as much fun as i have and will continue to.

Goodluck in your endeavours !!!
