In this guide, I will teach you how to get rich. I will not teach you how to hack, or glitch your backpack. It's gonna be a fair and square guide. Now lets continue.

To get rich, you must know your currencies. Here they are in order (Greatest to Least)

1. Buds
2. Keys
3. Metal
4. Weapons

Ok, so now we got that set. Some extra info you may want to know are how much is each (horrible grammar, I know).

1 bud is 18 keys.
1 key is 8.44 refined.
1 refined is 3 reclaimed.
1 reclaimed is 3 scrap.
1 scrap is 2 weapons.
Now you are probably asking, how do i get these items? Well, you have to Craft them.
Wait, hold up!
Crafting them would be a horrible idea! When you craft them, you must craft 2 weapons of the
Same Class If you like 1 weapon, and dont want to use that in crafting, or you just dont have 2 craftable weapons of the same class, then use...... (drumroll please) Scrap.tf!
With this beauty, you can trade away two weapons of different classes, and get scrap. Or you could do it the other way. You can trade 1 scrap for two weapons! Get rid of those weapons you dont want! The next thing you want to do is to find someone who is collecting weapons, and sell 1 weapon for one scrap. Then craft all your scrap into rec, and then into ref. Then do this over and over again, until you get enough for a key. Then you can either Leeroy it with the crate, or you can save more to get a bud. Before you Leeroy, listen to this.
A one percent chance is there to get a unusual. That does not mean that each 100 crates you could get an unusual.

Lets start off when you have enough metal for one key.
When you have enough, trade it for one key. Then there are many ways to go.
1. Buy a weapon, cosmetic, etc.
2. Save for more.
3. Uncrate.

I would not risk the loss of one key by uncrating. I would save for more, or get a cosmetic. If you get a cosmetic, then sell it for a higher price than what you bought it for. Not triple the price, like probably half the price more. That way, you get a profit. If you save enough, then trade for a bud. One bud is about 18 keys. Then save for more keys, and get a Bills Hat. That should be enough to get a starter unusual. If not, then get a famous taunt, like a conga. Then buy your first unusual. Try aiming for a spy unusual. Those are cheap, since ...
1. Spy is invisible
2. Spy is disguised, most of the time.
Then with that unusual, try to get a soldier unusual, by saving more metal. Then go through that process again. The reason why to get a soldier unusual, is because almost everybody likes soldier. Then sell the soldier unusual for .2 buds more (Buds are big. .5 will get people to call you a scammer.) Then find someone who is rich. Then see what his favorite class is. Get an unusual with that class, and sell it to him and get a profit. Do this over and over, until you get your favorite unusual.

After getting your favorite unusual, go after what is said the rarest item in the game.....

The Burning Flames Team Captain

Once you get that, you are one of the richest. In the world. That will take LOTS of time though. Also go after these hats.

1. Max's Severed Head
2. Houwar
3. Pillar of Shades (going after the pillar of shades is a bad idea since they are going down a lot,in 1-2 months (or latest at christmas) they´ll be around 1 bud till 10 keys)

If i missed something, note it in the comments, and thanks!

note: I still am doing this. I am currently hunting the houwar. TC is no use to me.

The Burning KE (Killer Exclusive) is worth 300 buds. There are 3 in the world. If you get that, you probably have the "Rarest" and most expensive hat in the game. Bravo!

Thanks to Pootis for giving me the KE thing.

Death the Joshua gave me the note about the pillar of shades. Thank you!
