The Moonshiner General Thread

Recommended Posts

I never thought about the size of the lobby.

 

Several times when I checked, I was up to 24 players. I'm going to have to check to see if I still have the load problem when it is 16 players or something (yeah, good luck...)

 

I've not tried getting a single player, after a resupply mission, then taking fast travel (from my camp) directly to the moonshine shack then seeing if it stays single player.

 

Didn't have the bugs where I had problems with the mash or flavoring, except one time It showed 20/20 but everything was gray (after I'd already flavored.) Then I exited the shack, went back in and could do the delivery mission.

 

Another time I went in the shack, with both Maggie and Marcel just GONE; So no still/Marcel to interact with. The bar also had far fewer patrons, just a couple near the band, but I could still dance/play with the band. Exiting the shack, then reentering, fixed that.

 

I'm on XBOX one, but could not find something similar to the "loop fix" they mention for the PS (with the infinite loading screen/spinning wheel, when doing the moonshine delivery.) I did go to community, but don't have friends playing on XBOX, but just selected "groups", there some guy was looking for people, selected that. This DID get me out of the load screen, putting me WAY up near Strawberry for some reason (moonshine shack is in the Hennigton's stead area.) However, 20 moonshine still gone =/ The odd thing is, I still had my special stew at my camp (so I indeed was not put out into a different session.)

Just got lvl 20 in moonshiner role and lvl 100 in outlaw pass. I'll stop with the moonshine now, there is about 50% chance of a black screen or "your posse abandoned the job" (even without a posse), I'll be back when they fix it.

Is it just me or is it pretty hard to level this up? Done all the story missions and tons of other missions for the role; but I'm still 1500xp away from level 5..

Still 400XP shy from rank 4 :D 

 

Did you get the 25% role XP thing unlocked yet? It's a rank 49 Outlaw Pass 2 reward.

I'm actually only rank 11 on the OP2. Aside from the Moonshiner storyline and other jobs, I've mostly been focusing on Casino Heists on GTAO. Completed all 3 for the $300k reward, so now I may focus on RDO again. Do coin runs or something, lol. 😜

It's the second easiest role to level up behind Collector if you ask me.

 

Bootlegger > mash > bootlegger > deliver > mash > etc

 

The 30 minute deliveries are about 700-1000 exp with the Outlaw Pass bonus, starting a 3* Mash alone gives 300 exp so a 30 min delivery of a 3* mash is 1.3k exp in total. Bootlegger missions are about 375-400 exp and the daily challenges also tend to be stuff you'll do while doing the Moonshiner stuff, so they are an added few hundred exp. You can also get 1k Moonshiner exp from I believe the Outlaw Pass. At level 15 or 16 I think it is the mash times will be reduced as well, which makes it even quicker to level.

 

It's not Collector rapid but if you just do the Moonshiner stuff it's not really slow at all. The only problem is really that there is a little bit of downtime when you wait for the mash to finish or the bootlegger missions to be available again (which is about 10-15 mins).

Pretty good advice. I'll definitely follow this! Many thanks!

 

For the 10-15 minute wait, I could take that time to venture around collecting.

Aye, I either collected, did dailies or just chilled in the speakeasy while waiting. I play my PS4 at my PC desk so I was watching stuff while chilling so ez for me. You can comfortably get 1 level an hour though, I was dreading the leveling when I first tried it but once I got a routine down and did it solo it was no problem.

You could also use that 10-15 wait to work on moonshiner buckle rewards for more exp. Easy one is get drunk on your own shine. Or you could invite randoms to your shack for the serve player shine buckle.

I feel kind of like a jerk:

 

Today, had the "load forever" black screen spinning wheel (on the xbox one) when trying the moonshine delivery again.
This was after my post above.

 

So again I went to community, clubs (or something), and it listed players who wanted a group. So I hit the first one, not having a mic I end up in their camp, then I kind of pause, then get on my horse and ride away...

THANKS MAN! ;) Makes me feel sheepish, but only way I can get out of that thing.

 

This time I still had the 2 star pronghorn on the back of my horse.

 

The 20/20 moonshine was still at the shack, too, for delivery (evergreen, from last failure still so the buyer who paid the real money is not around, of course.)

Hmmm, so I guess I did not lose it like I thought above, weird. Or it was suddenly back again?

 

I guess on the PS4, you can cancel joining the other person's game; Did not see a way to cancel it on the xbox one. There is a spot to write a message, when you first select a person. Maybe I should just type

"Sorry, stuck forever loading so could you please let me join and then I'll take off to try the moonshine run again?"

 

Up to 11 moonshiner, really only doing it to see if I crap out on the level 20 horse again.

Has anyone else had the glitch where it won't let you enter your shack? Happened to me today where I just spawned across the river (mine is in the swamp). Fixed by restarting the game.

You probably don't recall now, but was the mash bar gray each time you bought mash? I had it happen like 3 times on Monday, until I figured it out. It has to be red before you buy mash. If you see it gray, change sessions or restart the game.

This happened to me all weekend long.  My shack was also in the swamp.  I'd hit the button to enter and the blue map icon would disappear and I wouldn't enter.  Super annoying, but didn't happen at all yesterday, so maybe it's fixed.  🤷

My highest price so far was $247. Level 17.

 

Edit: That was the sell price, lost 2 bottles along the way.

Hmm... I just spent the last several days logging all the prices and the highest I seen was $225.00. Now they are all 10% higher, with $247.50 being the highest.

Could it be from the New Buyer Perk? Perks have glitched before. 

Does anybody not have that perk yet and is able to share a sale price for anything? Doesn't matter strength or flavor.

I don't think it's that, you get that a rank 8 and I know you couldn't sell for that much. I've seen the price for the past few days, unfortunately I don't recall when I git that price.

 My thought is maybe it bugged like some other perks have in the past.
I've logged every sale and I haven't seen these things until today. I was level 18 when I logged in.

It's probably due to too many players already active in that particular shack location in that particular lobby.

I just saw someone else list $247 in another thread so maybe not just me.

Maybe, I did that the day before as well. But I didn't see any notifications for it.

Please provide some evidence next time because I do not believe you.

I have logged all the prices, purposely destroying bottle at the drop off point to log all the values. 50% loss means that you destroyed... 50% or more of the bottles, not one. 
Crates Delivered vs. Value    
Bottles vs. Value %
20-100%
19-11-75%
10-1-50%
0-0%
