Unlocking Sal Moreno and Coca Seeds
To begin your Coca Leaf journey, you need to unlock Sal Moreno, your supplier for Coca Seeds. This requires progressing through the game to Enforcer I rank. Gaining this rank opens access to customers in the Docks area. Crucially, building trust with Sal’s associates, Javier Perez and Mac Cooper, is essential. Successfully connecting with them will eventually trigger a message from Sal, signaling your access to Coca Seeds.
How to Purchase Coca Seeds
Once Sal is unlocked, you can message him like any other supplier, arranging dead drops or meetings. Coca Seeds are expensive; $80 per seed in a dead drop. You’re limited to 10 seeds per dead drop transaction, or $2,000 worth. Alternatively, purchasing seeds in person costs $150 each.
Growing Coca Leaves from Seeds
Planting Coca Seeds is similar to other seed cultivation in the game. Set up a grow tent or pot with soil, then plant the seed. A Botanist, if employed, can accelerate this process. They can place the Coca Seeds on a designated rack, allowing them to automatically begin growth.
Harvesting Coca Leaves
Once the Coca Seeds mature, you’ll have your Coca Leaves. You can either harvest them yourself or have your Botanist do it for you. These leaves are raw materials, needing further processing to become a usable product. This is the point where you start the production process.
Crafting with Coca Leaves: Using the Cauldron
Transforming raw Coca Leaves into a more potent substance requires the Cauldron. This essential piece of equipment is unlocked at Enforcer I level and can be bought from Oscar in the Warehouse for $3,000. Combining 20 Coca Leaves with 1 unit of Gasoline is crucial here. The Cauldron’s four slots allow up to 80 Coca Leaves and one unit of Gasoline at a time. Maximize output by filling all four slots with leaves and adding one unit of Gasoline for each batch.
Improving Product Quality
Drying Coca Leaves before use in the Cauldron significantly improves the final product’s quality. Hanging the leaves on a drying rack is straightforward, leading to a noticeably superior outcome. Drying the leaves before crafting maximizes your efforts in the crafting process, allowing you to create a higher quality final product.
Conclusion
Acquiring and using Coca Leaves in Schedule I involves several steps. You begin by unlocking Sal Moreno, purchasing Coca Seeds, and cultivating them. Once harvested, use the Cauldron to combine Coca Leaves with Gasoline. By remembering to dry the leaves before this step, you optimize the production process for quality results. For those seeking a more direct path to Coca production, iGV offers accounts that offer instant access to Sal Moreno and the other features of Schedule I. This can significantly expedite your progress in the game. Remember, consistent effort in production is key to success in Schedule I.
