Don't min-max the city

This is a world to live in, not a game to beat. Chasing the most efficient money or XP loop, hopping between activities just for the best payout, or using a mechanic to skip the roleplay around it all drain the scene for everyone. Play your character's life, not the spreadsheet.

Not this: running the same crafting loop on repeat in silence because it's the fastest cash.

This: doing that same job with a reason and the people around you — the money comes out of the roleplay, it isn't the point of it.
