Xanax — Collect, Box & Sell
Written from the live server data for this feature — locations, recipes and prices are read straight from the drugs setup, not estimated.
Xanax is a grind-heavy chain — you collect a large batch of xanax, box it up, and sell. The collect point and process point are far apart, so it takes patience.
Overview
- Type: Collect → box → sell
- Final product:
xanax_box - Best sell: $400 cash (Dollar Pills)
Requirements
| What | Why you need it | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Skill-check minigame (lv1) | Every process step runs a skill check. Miss it and the craft doesn't complete — you keep the inputs, you lose the time. | At the lab |
| Supplies | Consumed by the recipe (see the buy list below). | Corner Store -2193.74, -388.87, 12.47 |
burnerphone |
Only if you want to sell to NPCs on the street with /startsell. The static dealer buys without it. |
— |
| A vehicle | The collect point is at the Chemical Lab in the far north-east, the box press is past Paleto, and the dealer is in Grapeseed — three corners of the north map. | Any car — the route is the real cost |
The lv1–lv5 tag on each recipe is minigame difficulty, not a character level you have to grind first — lv1 is a single easy skill check, while lv5 stacks an easy, a medium and two hard ones. A brand new character can start this chain today; what actually gates you is travel time and the police.

What You Get & Where to Sell

$400 cash (Dollar Pills) |
Two Ways to Sell
1. Static dealer — fixed price, clean money. Drive to Dollar Pills 591.1, 2744.9, 42.0 and
sell xanax_box for $400 cash. The price never moves, there is no minigame, and the sale
itself does not generate a police alert. This is the reliable route.
2. Street selling — /startsell, dirty money. Carry a burnerphone, run /startsell, and NPC
customers walk up to you. Each sale is 1–3 units at a random $200–$400, paid in markedbills
— the drug pack's dirty currency. That is not the same black_money the robbery pack pays out, so
the two launder separately. /stopsell ends the session.
Street selling is slower per unit, but it is the only way to generate markedbills:
- Some customers refuse the sale and walk off.
- Some try to rob you instead of paying.
- A sale can alert police and sheriff — dispatch drops a blip on you that stays live for about a minute, so move on after a run of sales.
- Selling works anywhere on the map, not just inside a marked zone, so pick somewhere quiet.
💰 Cost vs Reward
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Setup (one-time) | $0 |
| Cost per box | plastic_wrap $20 |
| Inputs per box | xanax ×50 at 10s each — over eight minutes of collecting |
| Sell price | $400 cash at Dollar Pills |
| Reality check | ≈ $380 for nine minutes of standing still, before the drive. The worst time-to-cash ratio in the pack. |
Using It — Effects, Addiction & Overdose
Every drug in the pack is also usable, and that side of it matters if you are roleplaying a user rather than a cook:
- Using
xanaxrestores health and armour, cuts stress, and buffs run speed, with a screen effect and a changed walk style while it lasts. - Each use adds addiction and tolerance. As those climb you start losing health, and you risk passing out or vomiting at the worst possible moment.
- Overdose triggers at 10 uses of the same drug, or 5 uses across mixed drugs.
- Cures are sold at the Corner Store:
acamprosate$500 (light detox),lofexidine$3,000 (heavy detox), andantidote$3,000 for an overdose. - Police carry a
drugtestkit. Whatever you took stays in your blood for about 5 minutes after use — long enough to fail a roadside test.
Common Mistakes
- Grinding xanax boxes for income. In the eight minutes one box takes you could cook a dozen Ketamine worth thousands.
- Driving to the Pharmacy with 49 xanax. The recipe is all-or-nothing at
xanax ×50and the collect point is on the other side of the map.
Tips
- Very high input: 50 xanax at 10s each is ≈ 8+ minutes of collecting for one $400 box.
- Collect (Chemical Lab, far NE) and process (north Pharmacy) are far apart — expect a long round trip.
