Complete walkthrough for The Adamantine Forge quest in Schedule I. Learn how to start the game, rent a motel room, buy equipment, plant seeds, and package your first harvest.
Walkthrough
- 1Starting the Game: After a cutscene, customize your character. You spawn near the bus station. Open your phone ('Tab') to find a message from "Unknown." Go to the payphone to meet "Uncle Nelson." He directs you to fetch his stash near the skatepark, containing $375.
- 2Renting a Motel Room: Speak to the motel manager, Donna. The quest updates to "Rent a motel room." You can pickpocket the $75 needed to rent room 1. Step inside the room to complete the objective. Return to the payphone to speak with Uncle Nelson again.
- 3Buying Equipment: A new questline, "Gearing Up," begins. Go to the hardware store (marked by a yellow star on the map, or by walking down the road from your room and turning left). Deposit your cash at the ATM. Purchase a grow tent, soil bag, and watering can from Dan. It's recommended to also buy "Plant Trimmers," "Packaging Station," and 10 "Baggies." Consider buying a trash grabber and "Trash bag" for convenience. If you tell Dan you're a drug dealer, he may gift you "Speed Grow." Return to your motel room, place the grow tent, and add soil to the pot. Speak to Uncle Nelson at the payphone again.
- 4Planting your First Seeds: Uncle Nelson introduces Albert Hoover. Check your phone for a message from Albert. Order seeds by selecting "I need to order a [dead drop]." Purchase "OG Kush" seeds. Albert will deliver them to a highlighted [dead drop] location. Pay off your tab by placing cash in the [dead drop] behind the hardware store. Sow the seed in the grow tent by holding the seed and pressing "E." Water the plant using the watering can (fill it at the sink). Sleep to advance plant growth.
- 5Harvesting and Packaging: Once the plant is fully grown, harvest the buds using the "Plant Trimmers." Place down the "Packaging Station." Interact with it to package the buds into baggies. Drag baggies into the "Packaging" spot and buds into the "Input" spot. Press "Pack," then drag each bud into a baggie, and the baggie into the hopper. Packaged weed will appear in the output.
Tips
- Speed-runners can open the motel room door and step inside before immediately starting the next quest.
- Depositing cash at the ATM is safer as you won't lose it if caught by police or if you die.
- Holding Shift while grabbing items from storage allows you to collect the entire stack with one click.
- Buying OG Kush is recommended for its ease and cost-effectiveness in creating better products later.
- Dead drops with items inside are highlighted.
- Sleeping after watering plants helps conserve water and time, and advances growth significantly.
- Plants grow approximately 15% per in-game hour.
- Baggies, jars, and other packaging materials can be purchased at the hardware store.
Successfully completing these initial steps allows you to progress in Schedule I, setting up your operation and earning initial cash from your first harvest.
