Sales is increased by BOTH buying and selling with them.Reputation is gained from completing quests with them.You level them up by increasing the 3 stats on the top right of their window your player level, your reputation with them, and the total “sales” in Roubles.Markers and Cameras are expensive if you are new, keep them in your butt while you do marking quests.Some quests require you to do something 2 raids in a row and survive both, this is how you can do a different raid in-between those two parts. You can, and should, move a quest item to Off Raid if you are not trying to do that quest immediately following the previous one.Instead you can see them in the Tasks menu in your Character screen. Some quests use special quest items, these do not appear in your normal inventory.Completing quests is way more important than fighting sometimes.

A lot of placement quests ALSO require you to survive the raid.So do your starting Customs quests and unlock it. Prices might go up because of new players, but it will probably be less painful than finding everything yourself. If a quest does not EXPLICITLY say “find in raid”, you can buy that shit on the flea market.Bank some progress every run, don’t tilt, example: even if you die you made progress if you killed just one Scav.Factory is a deathtrap for new players, but you CAN get your pistol kills quests done there easily.Learn Customs, like all starting quests are there.If you never risk anything you can never reap the good rewards (excluding your prison wallet but we will get to that). The worst thing you can do is be afraid of losing your gear. Do NOT be afraid to die and lose everything.Take these tips with a grain of salt as they are from personal experience from a veteran. Hopefully I can make your ass-pounding a little less raw.
