EVE General Discussion

You can easily make 100 mill an hour with 3 hulks and exhumers 4. Especially orca supported. A few words of wisdom though. It is best to make your hulk pilots production capable. Making ships is quite profitable if done right. Also find out which ores will net you the most isk / m3. ATM pyroxeres is about the most profitable. With perfect skills and implants + orca boost you can manage 45-50 million from pyroxeres on a single character. Also that is at jita buy prices you could net far more at sell prices.

So lets see, 3 plex divided by 44,000,000*3 =

588*3
-------- = 13 hours and 37 minutes of mining a month. "13.363636 continued" for the curious minded folks.
(44*3)

Yes this is the same for one account YAY for math! So you see after you initial investment of 13 and a half hours a month you can continue to make a billion isk every. 7.57 or eight hours. So lets be realistic and assume you don't play eve 40 hours a week. Let us assume Theodore plays 28 hours a week. A fairly hardcore player. During this week Theodore PVP's around 18 hours, and mines the other 10 to provide isk for his accounts and PVP.

In a month this amounts to 72 hours of PVP and 40 hours of mining, a total of 112 hours of gameplay a month. Theodore needs a girlfriend... But more about that later. Mining for 40 hours a month Theodore accumulates 5,280,000,000 isk, 1,764,000,000 of this is needed to buy plex, leaving 3,516,000,000 isk for him to use on shiny new ships. This is all based on the lowest amount that theoretically will be made on maxed out characters in high security space...

To get to the really fun stuff ill give you an example using the highest isk / m3 ore atm. Hedbergite!

$59,084,243.10*3*40 = 7,090,109,172 isk

Yeah I am just not sure why people would mine to make this isk. I am sure there are other activities in EVE that net you this much isk while being "bored". Although trading is more lucrative and about the only less skill intensive activity that can achieve this. You will be hard pressed to find anything else that nets you this much for doing so little and having less SP than most level 4 mission runners.

Eh, I mine when I'm bored but don't want my wallet to remain entirely static. It's not very fun, but for so little effort you still get something, so why not I say?

Holy crap, 8mil an hour. Clearly a game-breaking activity. If you're so worried about "playing" you should clean up your own backyard.

You bump the recruitment forum.

You evil callous person

Personally I have mining alts for when I want to make isk but have too hard a day in RL to want to think or I have too much RL work to do and don't want to spend most of my time concentrating on EvE.

Fixed ... should pay more attention to the smiles that i am clicking

Gonna have to work for another hour to get a character remodel so my pic expresses sarcasm, I guess.

if you dont like mining dont do it. But thank those that do or those pvp ship you buy would not be around.


Btw with one orca 2 mack's 150mil in under 2 hours is easy so you did something wrong.

I work at home. I make most of my isk through nullsec PI, which involved a lot of time and effort early on before I was able to tinker my way to what is now mostly passive income.

But sometimes I'll be on a really boring, life-draining conference call for two hours. My planets are already doing their thing, so I can't do much there. If I even attempt a mission, I'll probably die from my divided attention. So I drag out my Indy alt and chew on some rocks for a couple hours. The ore hold can fit about 25,000 m3, so I only have to worry about re-starting my strip miners when the asteroids pop, every 5 or 10 minutes or so. And even then Aura is nice enough to remind me each time that happens, so I don't even need to be in the same room, really. Basically I only need to hit a button every 5 or 10 minutes when Aura purrs "asteroid depleted" in that soothing voice of hers, while pretending to pay attention to my boring conference call. And if I screw up and miss a cycle or button press, my ship doesn't suddenly evaporate in a burst of fail, I simply miss half a cycle. No big deal. My other activities keep me paid, this at least makes me *feel* like I'm being productive in both Eve and RL at the same time, even if it is just an illusion.

Then there was the time I found out the girl I was dating was sleeping with her boss-- some creepy, old married man. God damn, that was a kick to the gut...I was so shell shocked all I could do was stare numbly at my computer monitor as the soothing, blue whisper of a laser pulled those ugly, brown rocks out of the sky. For weeks i stared, as if the dreamy blue line was a laser scalpel cutting the bad parts out of my mind. Oh geez, now I've bummed everyone out. I think I'll go mine.

People mine because it's easy to write a bot for it.


thing is, it actually isnt.
even I, who have probably sold less than 100 mods in my entire EVE career, could park in Jita and buy low, sell high for more isk than mining.

But but it is my job... they slapped a recruitment title on me and told me they would beat me if i don't
