Given that I could shorten the instructions I already had, I was probably rambling.
cat_razz But now I'm thinking I could include a short
and a detailed version in the guide, so I can give the basics to users who already know most of that section, and the detailed version can be for users completely unfamiliar with a subject. Answering occasional questions is fine, but frequent ones can take up a lot of time.

My baseline for what counts as effective is basically whatever can make millions of gold in the span of a few minutes or seconds (which isn't very specific, but a lot can depend on browser/computer/internet speed), and ideally doesn't take a lot of skill (like Fishing, which can require a fast response time and paying strict attention) if following instructions closely. The time it takes for something to sell in the Marketplace also doesn't really count (since, once listed, it hopefully shouldn't require any more involvement) as long as it's likely to sell for a reasonable price within a few days. Any initial setting up to get to that point may not be that quick, but if it's a one-time process that doesn't take excessively long (such as setting up Adblock and putting in the codes), or where you don't have to invest much time per day into getting to the desired point (like grabbing Wing Stickers over the span of a few months to a year to get up to 20 or 30, but only having to take a few seconds to grab one).
I don't think papers are being used for Ruby's Rack as much as they're being used in Alchemy for creating
Alchemist's Cases. You need 200 of each kind of paper to create Alchemist's Cases using the paper conversion option (you can also choose 200 of each flower, 200 of each common bug, or 10 Golden Magical Giftboxes instead). I think Old Crumpled Newspapers specifically are more expensive because they're more rare since they appear most frequently at dawn and dusk (which is short compared to day and night), and look exactly like Crumpled Newspapers, which are a lot cheaper and more common. Even with Adblock on, and seeing nothing but Old Crumpled Newspapers, I can usually only get 30 in a single dawn/dusk period (which lasts about 20 minutes, I think?). Outside of dawn and dusk, they're hard to find. Now that Towns 1 seems to be freezing on me about a quarter of the time whenever I change rooms, I'm probably getting a lot less now. I even tried turning Adblock off, and it apparently wasn't any of my codes causing it. It works on Chrome, so I guess it's Firefox.
The inks I believe are mostly being used for tattoos and
Body Dyes from Skin Tyte. You need 500 inks (except for Gray Body Dye, which needs 250 black inks and 250 white inks, still totaling 500) to create a single Body Dye. I was aiming for a Body Dye myself at one point, but they were so expensive, I had to find alternatives. Then I lost interest in human avatars in general, and got into the animal items instead. Much simpler.

Also, I don't really recommend converting the rare bugs into inks (though it's up to you). The rare bug inks might sometimes be more valuable than the bugs themselves, but the rare bugs are hard to find (I thought there was an item generator that gave out bugs, but I can't find it), and I think rare bugs are also used in some Alchemy formula that requires them, and there's also a way to get all of the inks using common bugs alone (you just need a lot of them). For example, the most expensive ink, the
white one, can be obtained by converting 5 blue, 5 red, and 5 green inks into 1 white one. Bug conversions are at
Durem Depot and ink conversions are at
Skin Tyte (with tattoos on top and the inks towards the bottom). I checked the values of the inks, and converting 15 inks into 1 white one actually looks like a good deal given the current Marketplace values.
I finally got to play Booty Grab (there were never any glowing tanks), and it gave out more gold than I thought since it apparently multiplies by several times once the game is over. I vaguely recall them implementing something like that for lag reasons, so I guess I just forgot about it. It still doesn't pay out as much as the other methods, and it's still hard to find any Booty Grab games anymore, so it still might not be effective enough to make my list.

I've been playing Lake Kindred for a few days (my browser doesn't freeze when I play it anymore), and so far, I've been getting decent prizes (some of them being more than 2 billion each) from my Kins just from collecting them from the home base. You can have 5 Kins on your team at once (switching them out for other Kins resets their prize-awarding timer, by the way), so you can get 5 different prizes at the same time. It doesn't seem to matter what the rarity, level, or Marketplace value that a Kin has, which is good, because you can get most of the starter Kins in the Marketplace for less than 100,000g and stockpile them until you have 5 Kins on your team (unless you already have 5). As an example of a couple of things I got from them, one of them awarded out a
Layers of Rainbows, and another (on a different day) gave me
A Touch of EVERYTHING (actual item name). The leveling-up prizes can be good too, with my Prunny getting a
Mad Science Bundle when it got to level 5.
I also forgot to mention that the main value of Daily Chance prizes lies in the inks and GoFusion charms, not in the gold it gives out.
