Hi all,


I have been away from eve for a few years and on coming back I wanted to make use of my alt's for income purposes. With the upcoming dual training changes i thought it might be good as could train an alt for some passive income. Now the only thing I new about passive income when I left was data-cores (R&D) . Now I hear they have been nerfed(dunno how) .

From looking at the forum maybe moon mining could be an option ? What I am wondering is if there are a few passive(ish) professions I can put onto my alt's to maximize my income given that I will have a main that is a mission runner & industry orientated and I will be training a PVP char for the future.

So I suppose the question is what are the best professions for my alt to maximize income ?

R&D got nerfed so that you don't make as much as the old days.

The other passive income that comes to mind is P.I.
This requires limited input to make a bit of spare ISK.

Moon mining is NOT passive. As you have to maintain a POS and if you don't log in enough to check it might aswel be destroyed.

AH kk so the only option are to put data-cores and PI on one character for efficient passive income ?


EDIT any Idea how much this will net per month per char once up and running ?

assuming you stay in highsec and run a lazy setup that only needs attention two times a week or so, you can expect between 100 and 150mil per month per character.

I should buy an Ishtar.

Depends on the product when it comes to PI, some are more profitable than others.

Datacores still make some isk, but don't expect alot. I left 4 R&D agents alone for 140 or so days and only made about 70 mil isk lol.

I once podded myself by blowing a huge fart.

For reference, 100 million is a short evening doing L4 missions between dinner and sleep. Not blitzing missions, just doing them.

So while that's not nothing it's pretty minute compared to professions that actually involve doing stuff.

The Making ISK guide also includes money making ideas such as station trading.

There are few true passive incomes, and Soundwave has declared that it's something that he just want to get rid off.

Some minor ones are left, PI, Research, passive trading but they normally don't give that much.

There are of course ways to make quite substantial amounts of more or less passive income.

But those who know how to do that will most likely not talk about it, since they know that their activities end up in Soundwaves crosshairs if they do ;)

thx a lot everyone. I think I may have to have a rethink, as it is beginning to sound like it won't be worth the Plex(s) spent training up the characters to do these passive things. Ill look into the links ect thx again.

After looking into this link and reading about R&D agents it looks like they are going to move data-cores to some sort of LP store so what would be the point of the Research Project Management skill ? would they just reimburse the SP ?

They already did about 6-12 months ago, you can still get data cores the old way but you have to pay Isk as well as rp for them, so the profit dropped.

Always willing to help all you have to do is ask, though if you're in the other fleet I may not help the way you want. Just a heads up. Pub Channel: Lost Souls Trading Post

ah I see, it really does seems not worth it all now. Maybe PI but it sounds like they will probably want to nerf that as well once its up and running and settles in properly. I am glad I asked on here first as it looks like its not worth wasting the ISK on plexs to train chars for passive income in the long run.

Buying in-demand BPOs and performing research on them (in public lowsec station research slots, and accepting the 10-15 day wait for ME slots) is a quite passive activity, although it does require you to log in once a month and restart jobs, then once every 3-4 months log in on a lowsec hauling mission.
