Making money by becoming a smuggler
By Aragorn II Elessar
Need 400k to get all the books for Sage? Or maybe you need some extra change for all the landmarks. Either way, you don't need to sit there waiting for a full bank or for Mediterranean Defense missions to complete!

Final Thoughts
Make sure not to overflow your British Gunpowder when dismantling bombs from the black market dealer! Losing it will render all the bombs cost inefficient.

Hope this helped you out, and have a wonderful day!

Splinter bombs are the name of bombs made with the Shrapnel ingredient, it's the right bomb type. Thanks for the heads up, I'll change that. As for the low profit, make sure that you start with an empty ingredients pouch, and alternate purchasing the lethal bomb types (impact splinter, sticky splinter) to dismantle them and fill up on ingredients, then sell them before dismantling any bombs.

my guy doesent have sharpnel bombs he has splinter bombs and from every run i get about 5k in profit which in my humble opinion is not really worth it

This guide is actually bonkers. I was here confident I had all achievements from the main game done and I got sage for last. Little did I know about the books in Cappadocia and their absurd prices so I was about to start leaving my game run on the background up until I found this guide. Good stuff! :p2cube:
