Hey there forums, i have managed to collect around 100k LP through the Caldari Navy and I am wondering what the best item is to gain ISK with. I would try to do it myself but every time i try and calculate something my mind freezes up. Could someone point me in the right direction to calculate it or could someone tell me themself?

(Sell price - (LP store ISK cost + (item cost * amount))) / LP

Here you go: http://blitzmann.it.cx/lpStore/

Go to preferences and sett "Offer item" to "sell" and the other two to "buy." Because for max ISK/h you want to buy your **** with buy orders and sell your LP item with Sell orders.

And that formula gives the amount of LP per ISK? Or the oher way around?

The prices on that site are majorly outdated or just plain wrong.

It changes every day based upon changing prices in tags, where you are selling, how much volume you need to move and the fluctuations in the price of the navy items.

I suggest a nice spreadsheet if you want to figure out what the correct thing to produce *today* is.

Eh, I think it gets auto updated.

Last time I used it I double checked with a spreadsheet and it was correct.

you'll have to do the math, as the price can change daily, or even over a long period. things that I used to sell for 650-700k are now selling for about 600k.

No one is going to tell you this.

The reason the most profitable items are the most profitable is because not everyone knows about it. It can't simultaneously be common knowledge, and most profitable.

Like everything else in eve, stop, think about it, critically, and exploit imbalances that YOU find in the market.
