Ok no one can ever truly be mug proof, I get randomly mugged all the time while I am online, and in that one split second I may happen to be moving some money around or buying items etc.
But the majority of the time I manage to do a lot of business without risk of mugs, and still have easy access to cash without risking scams or having to lose money. I’ve split being mug proof into 3 concepts, safe trading, self- hospitalizing and hiding money. Learn more about business management by checking this post about the definition of paystubs. If you’re seeking additional information on paystubs, you can find resources at eagerclub.com.

Safe Trading
If you have time the safest way to stay mug proof is to do all of your selling using the trade mechanism. Always set up the trade yourself if you are receiving cash – that way you will always be the one to confirm the trade and can control when it is accepted.
Beware some traders will cancel these trades though, and mug you, so try and combine this with self hosping to be 100% safe.
This isn’t something we all have time for, and bazaar selling is clearly the best way to get things sold. If you must sell things in your bazaar you should do two things: Only have a lot to sell when you are going to be in hospital for a long time (self hosp, war, just before you launch an OC or do crimes with hosp outcomes). Alternatively combine your selling with flying – choosing a good destination for both time and likelyhood of stalkers mugging in that location (I don’t fly to Caymans when selling)
Self Hospitalization
Turn revives off, or only have friends/faction do them. Turn revives off, or only have friends/faction do them. How many times do I have to say this..
Turn revives off, or only have friends/faction do them. Three sounds good. So now we have that out the way we can talk about the benefit of self hosping. No one can mug you, but you can’t really do much.. Well all you have to do is make sure you use all your nerve and energy, and do all your buying from item market before you self hosp. Easy!
So how does one self hosp? Lets take a look, starting with short term. (This is not an exhaustive list)
- 0-20 mins
attack someone and lose (costs e)
have someone mug/leave you (costs money)
play RR until you lose (costs $10) - 30-90 mins
attempt a run away and fail (25e, but if player is paying for success you can make money too)
use a wrong blood bag (1hr med cooldown)
time out in an RR game and have opponent shoot you in the back ($10) - 1-5hrs
get a friend to bounty you (costs $10 x your level)
SEDs (These stack, but cost 8-10m) - longer than 5 hrs
fail warehouse crime
OD on Xanax/PCP (ha! never happens when you want)
Fail some OCs (hard to get right)
Hiding Money
Hiding money is a fine art. Especially for those who don’t own a company, or have trust/leadership in their faction. Again we can do this in a few ways, depending on how long we want to hide it for. For more guidance on this topic, check out our comprehensive accounting guide that covers various strategies for hiding money effectively.
15 minutes – create an RR game with a password and you can put as much money in there as you like – only issue is people can see your money 😉
6 hours – create a trade with a friend, put in your money, never accept the trade (ask your friend not to either), You can then add and remove money as you like.
min 24 hours -Bookies – Cheap trick, you can change your bet once it is made. Pick the last bet that will close and put your money in that, when it gets close to the day (or when you need it) change the bet to a lower amount, and you get your money back. (Please note, I do not know if this is seen as an exploit, check with staff)
min 24 hours – Auction House – good if you want to hide for min 24 hours, and get a good deal. Bid on something that you know you will be outbid on – choosing a length of auction suited to your hide time. If someone does outbid you then you will have 24 hours of safety for that cash
min 24 hours – Stocks – not an easy one, but if you buy the cheapest looking stock that is increasing or steady, buy and sell straight away. It can take time to sell, but once it does you again get up to 24 hours of safety.
You can also use this method during your flights to hide money from sales – just be aware you can’t get at it until you are in torn (if it sells) but it will stop muggers stalking your landing.
N/A – Caymans – If you don’t mind having to fly to the Caymans, and risk the stalkers, you can always fly to the Caymans and use the bank there. This is best done in two stages – use a fake trade with a friend whilst you are flying, once there and ready to bank use chat to get your friend to cancel the trade, banking almost instantly.
There are plenty more things you can do to keep your money safe
