Introduction
So are You just starting, broken, or maybe both?

I am gonna help You!

Weapon and Location
First of all, You will have to go to Kimary. On the main street You can find a post guard. Ask him for a quest, if You have enough oratory skill You will be able to pick it up (kill a gang), and you will get a machete for free.


After that, You need to go to western gate. Go slightly off road on the left side so You will see burning convoy to your right.


Once You will reach top of the hill, You will see Your target, which is the farm.


Draw Your machete (G button, if its hidden you run faster). There are scarabs all around the place. It is cheaper than ammunition, You should survive all the attacks. To kill them, simply spam left mouse button, they will die in bunches after 2-3 hits.

Code of Conduct - Main Bit
What You need to do, is keep Your machete drawn at all times. You may want to kill all the scarabs within the farm, but they will spawn quite quickly anyways. Loot them for money and some materials.

Start off with Wheat, as there is plenty of it. It's cheap, but it will do for now.


After You gathered all the wheat, grab some tobacco. It's very profitable as there is alot of it.


Then, You want to grab all the desert flowers that are remaining. You can use them for First aid kits, or just sell them (which is what I do).

Code of Conduct - Minor bit
After You have done all what You were supposed to, take a look on lying petrol barrels, coal barrels, garbage piles, oil and jerrycans. They will give you about extra 300-500.

Hauling Back
After You have done what You've been told to (Which is: Gathering Wheat, Tobacco, Desert flowers, junk, fuels, killing and looting scarabs),

You have 2 options to choose:

A)
Stay in the area, as there is so much to pick up and so many scarabs to kill, that the materials and scarabs will keep respawning so You can do 2-3 circles before You will have full equipment.

B)
Head back to the western gate and sell Your materials to Guard Patrick, and/or store other materials in the warehouse if You wish to keep them.



And this is my profit for 1 run where I've done 2 circles ( I sold most of it at once ).

Credits
It's one of few ways to make profit if You are out of cash, it is very easy, the only upkeep is repairing Your machete and/or clothes ( I recommend to walk just in underwear aka no armor ), and you make profit in under 15-20 minutes. Definitely a good start.

It doesnt give alot of EXP except for scarabs, but after 2-3 lvl it won't even make a difference for You.

I will be grateful for feedback as this is my very first guide.

Thank You very much for reading!

@jaidenvir This may be outdated as I made this miniguide long time ago. Nevetherless it still should be usable. I haven't played The Skies for a while. If You have any ideas, feel free to let me know and I will update the guide

You need Cold Weapons 15 in order to start this quest and be able to equip the machete.

Hmm.

*BUMP* Just to inform, I created a test character with 30 oratory, and I couldn't get machete. Perhaps Strength or other skill is needed as well.

Okay, thanks.

I am not sure how much is needed, when I took the quest I had 30 oratory already. Probably 20-25 is required.

It is highly advised to go full-int at start of the game for sake of exp, and eventually keep TECH at level 5 in order to craft weapons. Then update other skills such as endurance, strength and dexterity.

How much oratory skill do you need to get the first quest?
