Arctic vs Fuel (cash)

[Bob_Ferret]

This is just some working out I have done. I thought I would share to help others out.

Just remember there is not much data and therefore not as accurate as I would like, if other people have done this before, let me know.    or if you want to go ahead and make a better one.  Thanks

Nice to see this.
What i sayd when people asking me what give more money, artic or fuel?
3 dest fuel = +/- $18000     $18000:3=  $6000 (each destination)
3 missions artic = 3x +/- $6000  = $18000
So fuel didnt give more money but it looks that you get more because you get in 1 time more money, in the same time you can do 3 artic missions and you get the same money. If you failed a 3 dest fuel mission you missed $18000, if you failed an artic mission you missed $6000.

I always knew artic convoy gives more money than fuel,but im surprised that even artic solo gives more

[mick88]

You can't compare 3 dest fuel to 3 artic missions, because in artic mission you have to load each time, so you travel between 6 points in an arbitrary order. in fuel mission you travel between 4 points and once you load you can visit the rest of checkpoints in any order.

[Bob_Ferret]

There are heaps of variables but all up I think they are roughly the same, after taking in the risk of noobs running you off the road with  25k loss instead of just 6k.
I guess it up to you.    Thanks for the feed back guys.

coach mission: WC Airport to Bayside X 2 = ~12000 each = ~24000
3, 4, or 5 dst fuel mission = ~240000

so compare these two, you could comparitivly make more the same as artict in coach as well

With arctic in convoy you make fast money and fuel is booring..

But fuel convoy is fun,true we cant do it officially,but technically its possible

[Deff]

So overall the payout is same for both ?

[DeHavilland]

I knew this for long time ago that you earn more cash with artic!

[Ethan]

longer trips in artict also give you more money.. (example) artict mission from WC AP to Bayside lets say gives you 12000
lets say a 5 (five) destination fuel run gives you 25000

do 5 artict missions at the same example rate of 12k = 60000
do 2 5 destination fuel runs at same example rate of 25000 = 50000

you earn more money in artict (known fact) but you would also get the 5 points, as with fuel you do 10 dst, and get 2 points.

But don't forget 5 Arctic missions include 5 trips to load, and 5 trips to unload.  Those loading trips add up after a while.

Does it realy matter how much you get from a load?
Dudes i play this game for fun so it doesn't matter how much i get paid
i did like 300 artic missions with my dune and that didn't pay much but i had more fun than that other 200 missions with rt + trailer
So i would say to you  don't think about that money!
if you like fuel do fuel! if you like artic do artic missions! that's the easy way to think!

U received a Cookie for that Sir.

Sjomp, your missing the point.  It isn't a case of it mattering, it is an informational type thing.  I wondered about this topic too.  You always see people asking the question "What type of mission is the best money maker?"  I have always heard people say Tanker missions.  But it must be information that you were interested in if you read the entire thread.  But not everyone plays the game for the same reasons as you.  I appreciate the work that Bob has done on this.

Im even suprised (and kinda sad) that someone actually made this. No offence

[Kenny_Power]

Easy Peasy Fuel = long mission. Artic = Short mission

[Bob_Ferret]

Thanks for the comments guys.

1. I made this because I was bored and I always see people asking.
2. I also play for fun, but its always nice to know.


I did this to help others. Thanks guys

Actually the best money maker mission is the coach (convoy) If you are in WC and start a mission your load point will be always in WC Airport.Everyone knows that missions from WC Airport to SF or Bayside pays a lot of money (20k - 24k / convoy) All you have to do is avoiding the speedtraps otherwise you will lose a lot of money.The coach is also faster than RT
