Making money on any SIM site is an essential way to become successful. Though, more often than anyone would like, when you’re new to a SIM game you usually don’t know how to efficiently make cash. With that said you’re flailing around in hopes for some insight from an experienced player or for a lucky strike.


However, Alacrity has something for both the newer and the older players that are looking for a way to earn money-- an Alacrity money making guide.


The information given below shall give you detailed facts and strategies to help prepare you and allow you to earn Alacrity cash (Alacash) or bones on Alacrity.


Good luck on your road to success!

I ||Easy Cash for New Players



First off, when you sign up to join Alacrity-sim, you're sent an E-mail to verify your E-mail address. Doing this gains you $10,000 Alacash in the very beginning. This sums you up to a total of $15,000 Alacash. That's enough to get you on your feet!


Second, once you start off, you can view your inventory and see that you're entitled to have a Puppy Pack. If you decide there's nothing in it you want, you can always sell it. However, this wouldn't be a fruitful sale, but it's some cash nonetheless.


Playing the games on Alacrity-sim isn't a solid way of earning cash since it's more awarding in amusing you than supplying you currency. Though, if you need just a little more cash to buy something, games are dependable.


Another way to earn money if you have friends is to refer them to join Alacrity! For every seven people who join up on your referral and verify their email, you get one bone! A bone can be sold for a handsome sum of cash or kept.


Speaking of referrals, if you were referred from another site, then you can also trade currencies! Alacrity-sim allows the exchanging of currencies from sites. This means that you can go to the adverts, sales board, or sales chat and post "Exchanging_____ for Alacash" or "Exchanging Alacash for _____". This can be another easy way of making money by exchanging currencies with other players. Be careful, though! Make sure you trust the person you're exchanging with and you guys both agree on the way of transitioning the currencies.


Creating a second account (a side account) is also beneficial with training sessions and the money that comes with it. However, you are only allowed two accounts. You also cannot make your friend/family members or someone join so they can just give you their money. It is called cheating and is against the rules. People found doing this will be fined 15k per account.


II ||Profit for the Artistic


Entering contests would be the best start to earning money if you're artistic. It can also increase the traffic of people's interest in your specified art which can get you commissions. There are several contests on the forums that require entries. Sometimes even the entries get paid.


Opening up commissions with low prices (bones or alacash) and advertising is also and probably the #1 way to start out. Make sure you have examples to show and to impress your customer. If you're exceptionally talented, good, and played for awhile, you can even try to apply to be a Site Artist.


You can also create your own Custom Accessory by purchasing a Custom Accessory Maker (this is usually a 10 bone investment) and create your own art to be either a companion/object/item. You can sell your CA (custom accessory) for bones. To get extra copies of your CA, you must have 3 bones to invest so you must sell your CA for 4 bones or higher to make a profit.


III ||Cash Earning for the Kennel


Buying a dog would be the best investment you could make to begin your kennel career. Going to Life > Pound > Finding a dog a player is selling. Any breed will do, choose your favorite, and look for the cheapest with nice TP. The best to do for a beginner dog is a dog with TP lower than 1000 as it is easier to train. Once the dog is trained, if it's a male, put him up for stud and begin trialing. Most people trial to earn their money as it's lucrative and the only investment you need to make is the entrance fee. However, the higher the TP of the dog, the more the dog makes, but it also takes longer to train the dog! So start out small, earn some, and work your way up!


Breeding quality, high TP, or good coated dogs is also a lucrative business. Training your dog until it's maxed is always advised as the dog (bitch and stud) produce better pups when trained. Some people breed for coats while others breed for show dogs. You can choose what you specialize in.


You can buy quality males, train them, and set them for stud to make a side-business in your kennel!


If you have spare bones and don't wish to make your own line or breed your own dogs, you can invest your bones into kennel slots and train for the public! You can buy energy companions to help you train faster. This is also a good business to start with. Training other people's dogs is always in demand and you can create your own prices. However, most want a fast trainer so investing in energy companions will cost quite a bit, but they will pay off if you continue with this business! You can create prices by 'per click (usage of training sessions)', per week, or by the TP.


IV ||Alacash to the User


Donating to Alacrity is a quick and easy way to get rich. You simply donate right away, or be patient for a double bone special, or if you're patient enough, a triple bone special! Bones are another currency on Alacrty, sort of like the gold of the game. This can be sold for Alacash or buy all sorts of items.


Buying/selling bones. Bones will usually always have a stable price to them. Alacash can inflate or deflate while bones will stay stable. Buying them from users and selling high is also another way to get rich. It requires quite a bit of investment, however.


10/2 can be located at Help Alacrity > Buy Bones > Exchange Bones > Exchange Ten Bones for Two Rares. This can be a risky but very, very lucrative way to earn cash as you can earn magical water bowls and soldier helmets here which sell for tons. This is a risky business, but if you're known for good luck, then by all means do it. I warn you, though, it can be very addicting. It can also be a drain of cash than profit if you don't limit yourself.


Buy monthlies and put them in 'storage', or better known as just let them rot for awhile before selling. As time goes by, most old monthlies become very rare like Minks, Lambs, Peacocks, Owls, Rats, and Cats! They can sell for a lot more if you wait a few months!


Have an active User Shop. There's nothing else that can make you as much money as your user shop. You can buy for low and sell for high, making a steady profit to put in your bank! User Shops are a most. However, putting in common items for high prices won't get you anywhere. Remember: Supply and Demand!


Bank Interest. Always put your money in your bank to collect interest. Interest is pure profit. If you have a lot of cash, this will be your friend. If you don't have that much, it's still worth putting it in the bank!


Have what people want. An example would be when new breeds are released. If you buy a breeding pair (female and male) from people selling from customs, train them quickly when the hype for them is still there, and sell half for the price you bought the parents. You will easily make back your money on your first litter or two. This is a lucrative but very short business. So take advantage!








These are the very basics of earning cash on Alacrity. There are most likely other ways to earn profit, but this will give you a good idea on what to do. Though, some of these tricks won't work if you don't have patience and money to invest. Some will work without. Either way, they're ways to gain.

Once again, good luck on your trip to becoming rich!
