While you can mix at random in Schedule 1, having a plan means that you can maximize your return on investment, which means that you have more money to put towards continuing to expand your operations. Crystal is one of the products you can make after completing a series of quests, raising your reputation, and increasing your number of customers. You can sell it as is, but in this game, mixes give you more money for your investment.

You can mix up to eight ingredients with one base item, but that's not always the most efficient route. If you want to aim for efficiency, you usually want to go for a recipe with four ingredients instead. This lowers the ingredient cost and time to make, but still gives you a higher return on investment than selling your crystals as they are. If you want to sell mixes, crystal ones tend to provide you with more profits than weed mixes like Granddaddy Purple in Schedule 1.

Best Overall Crystal Mix

The Complete Profit Approach

If you want to go for the best crystal mixes, you'll want to go for an eight-ingredient recipe designed to maximize your profits. For a recipe with a $340 suggested selling rate that can have customers offering up to $500 and 100% addictiveness, mix ingredients in the following order:

  1. Banana
  2. Cuke
  3. Paracetamol
  4. Gasoline
  5. Cuke
  6. Battery
  7. Horse Semen
  8. Mega Bean

These ingredients cost you a total of $38 if you get the amount needed for one crystal, but you can easily make more than 10 times that amount from selling it. Plus, the high addictiveness means you'll have customers asking for it often when you put it on sale.

If You Opt For Efficiency

Schedule 1 Crystal Best Recipe Easy

Usually, a four-ingredient mix in Schedule 1 is what you want to aim for if you want to balance profit with efficiency. This recipe has a recommended selling price of $203, but you'll generally have customers offering up to $300 per crystal.

Schedule 1 Is Under Investigation For Possible Copyright Infringement

Movie Games believes Schedule 1 is too similar to their hit Drug Dealer Simulator series, and they want those similarities to be investigated.

Like the eight-ingredient recipe, you have a 100% addictiveness on this one, meaning you can earn a fair amount of money from repeat customers when it is available. As a result, it's the perfect option if you don't want to spend time on a longer recipe, but still want decent profits.

Having A Bit Of Fun

Schedule 1 Crystal Best Fun

If you want a quicker recipe with the seizure effect, just to have fun watching customers after you sell it to them, then this is the recipe for you. The suggested selling price is $116, which isn't bad when considering that it costs $15. Add your ingredients in the following order:

Ingredients

Cost

1. Cuke

$2

2. Gasoline

$5

3. Iodine

$8

Then, you're ready to sell your creation or it off to your dealers in Schedule 1. This is also a great option if you're low on cash, since you can earn a decent profit and it won't take long to craft with just a few ingredients required.

You unlock mixing once you complete the "Mixing Mania" quest, and it opens up a lot of earning potential since you can increase the price of items by a significant amount.

Because of the price increase, it's worth playing around with different combinations and keeping track of which customers like which effects. That way, you can climb the ranks and purchase more property in Schedule 1.

​In the gritty open-world simulation Schedule I, players step into the shoes of a fledgling drug dealer aiming to establish a criminal empire in the fictional city of Hyland Point. Starting with minimal resources, they cultivate and distribute various narcotics, manage supply chains, and navigate challenges posed by law enforcement and rival cartels.
