At the moment I've been just buying regular ammo, converting it into faction ammo, and selling it with a tiny bit of profit. So I'm sorta wondering; what's the best thing you can spend your Loyalty Points on if you're in it for pure profit...?

Get a spreadsheet. LibreOffice is opensource/free.

LP Store database: http://www.ellatha.com/eve/LP_Stores.asp
and don't forget that Faction Warfare LP stores can get a significant discount (i.e. they're competition.)

Also, elbow grease.

That's a great tip, but seems like a ton o' work. Any tips on what sort of item (Implants? Ammo?) that gives you the most ISK-to-LP ratio?

In general.

Last I checked this was out of date as of the last time CCP put LP store in the data dump. 2007 maybe? I can't remember.

You should double check a recipe is correct before investing it if you use that site.

Aww come on now. I just want to unload my Loyalty Points and get back to the pew-pew, not make a whole school project out of the thing. Straight

+5 implants then. Isk/LP won't be the best, but you will have no trouble moving (in both the logistic and market sense of the word) them.

FW is pretty stiff competition.

At T5 I can buy +5's for roughly 19k LP and 19mil ISK (not exact numbers there, could be lower). I think in normal LP stores they go for 65k LP and 65mil ISK.

Now, granted we only hit T5 once a week or so, during that time I plex - and it only takes me 20 minutes to earn enough LP for a +5.

20 minutes.

And I can earn 1 mil LP in 2-3 days.

How many Level 4's can you run in 3 days?

Pretty stiff competition.

Generally speaking, the LP items that are worth a lot of money are worth a lot of money because [supply is low, and supply is low because] not many people know about them.

In an ideal world where everyone was smart, all the items would have an identical LP/isk ratio. Meaning, of course, that in the real world™ there are a few items that are worth quite a bit.

The best conversion I have ever noticed was a few months ago. It almost made me want to run missions again. The cruor requires 20k LP and I think 10 million isk and was selling in Jita for 70 million isk ; that converts to 3,000 isk per LP - move to Delve.

smart people will not tell you what items they use because they do not want you to crash their market.
