#
Getting Started with Contraband
Contraband provides a lucrative but risky way to earn money in the game.
#
What is Contraband?
Contraband growables are illegal crops that you can grow in cells. They provide a steady source of income when harvested and sold.
#
How to Obtain Seeds and Farm Blocks
To grow contraband, you'll need both seeds and farm blocks that match the color code of the contraband type. You can obtain these items through:
- Certain server events that offer them as rewards
- Trading with other players through malls
- Purchasing from other players via the auction house
Cell Requirement
You must have a cell to grow contraband. Check out our Cells & Malls Guide for information on renting a cell.

Contraband Items
Different contraband types require specific items to grow and process them. Each type has unique requirements and yields different rewards.
Farm Block Requirement
All seeds must be planted on a farm block that matches the color code of the contraband type. Using the wrong color farm block will prevent the seed from being planted. Don't worry - you won't lose your seeds if you try to plant them on the wrong block.
Reputation Requirements
Each contraband type has a different Reputation requirement to place seeds on farm blocks. Reputation is gained by HARVESTING contraband. Higher reputation unlocks more valuable contraband types.
