    The tax is collected by the owner and once every so often we host a "tax back lottery" where all the tax money is thrown into the pot.

    If you need any assistance with anyone feel free to contact me. The wiki is a great place to learn about the game, and many people would love to help you in-server.

    Lotto is very good.
    VERY VERY GOOD.
    Lotto is love.
    Lotto is life.
    You can easily go from 50k to 400k in one day with lotto if you play your cards right.

    or you could lose 900k in a day .......... (rip TimmyChoi's bal)

    Well I come back because of Step 4 as mentioned below. :) Pretty fool proof unless you get scammed or you lose like all your money somehow.

    Hello @BuyLowSellHigh , I've taken a rest, and managed to plan out my next 'step' or so you can call in this mini introduction.

    In this post, I shall discuss ways of money making and how to rank up (After earning the sufficient funds).

    How can I make money?
    Money making tends to differ, depending on the likes of the user. A beginner may want to get aid in how to earn money on ECC. I will list some ways, with a brief explanation of each. As a builder, you do not have access to own a shop, however I will list it down as you can interact with other shops in the market.

    Farming/Fishing/Mining - These are the few of traditional ways of making money, type '/kit starter' and mine in the mining world, or fish. Farming is a bit more tedious as it requires more efficient tools (Eff 5 axe for pumpkins, the melon sword for melons) and frequently mining is a better solution for a starter method. I will explain mining a bit more when I get to the worlds section.

    Trading/Selling/Auction - We have different chat channels, and two of those are specified for selling items, the trade chat is solely for buying and selling an item, and the auction chat is for auctioning an item, where people would place bids on the item sold. I will always recommend taking screenshots while doing any transactions to avoid scams (You may report the user on the forums, and if they scam without their side of the story, a ban would be upheld. If a user is to appeal, they are required to return back what has been scammed).
    Another part is voting, voting daily would give you a minimum of 3 NetherStars (Sometimes there are bugs, and sometimes you can get lucky votes!)
    Visit the market and sell these Nstars to users for good money, I wouldn't recommend /sell hand with it as user markets pay more.

    The last part, one which I use, is Survival Games (SG). In this mini-game, users are to loot chests within and after 60 seconds have passed by, the grace period ends and the killing begins (You can still loot chests). A couple things to watch out for are kits. Kits are bought from the ECCShop using real money, or bought from other users with ECD and they'll do the donation for you. I wouldn't highly recommend SG if there are too many kit users playing it, as it may not be a continuous source of money.

    You've got the money needed for specific rank, how do you rank up?
    Seeing that you already have a forum account, this should be pretty simple. Scroll down in the forums page, down until you see a Builders+ section. Click on that section and you'll be directed to another page. You will see three different links on the top of the page, choose the rank you want (Resident, Pilot or Survivor) and an application form will appear. Simply fill in the details and wait till staff members process your application.
