Join Faction War and make money while PVP (or be a lamer LP farmer)

If that isn;t an option, get a cruiser and blitz L3 missions

I personally found 2 systems with 3 L3 agents in the same station, so I just cherrypick the agents which have blitzable missions and do all of them at once, only doing the minimum amount of the mission I need for the quickest completion. This gives me about 2mil per mission (with social skills and whatnot) and each mission takes about 5 minutes, maybe 10 with travel time (though if I get a good loop of missions through the constellation, it can be fewer)

Hisec Ratting is crap, and combat sites are unreliable (I got a sentient drone damage amp from one, once... approx 100mil, but most of the time I get crap not even worth its own volume to haul around)

i would advise you to run the tutorials for starters. after that, there is missions, exploration, industry, planetary interaction, trade or a mix of all the above.

I should buy an Ishtar.

Most missions in high-sec pay more then a million each...

Specially if you scale it up a bit to L3 / L4 missions yet keep your PvP costs low(ish) you can make a profit.




High-sec exploration can be good too, but is a big hit/miss system

This might help you find some agents close to you.

Not sure if it's better money than regular agents, but you can repeat the tutorial missions at a different set of career agents.

Being a tackler is a good choice for beginning PVP. Not for the reasons usually given, though.

The reason is that it's a great way to come to terms with ship loss. You will basically be using it once before it's destroyed. So what you want is to have at least ten of the things sitting in your hangar fitted and ready to go else you'll just be frustrated and maybe quit.

So make yourself 10M or so and then go at it. It may not seem like it but that is a really easy amount to make. The other option is to join a corp with a ship replacement policy.

As to how to earn ISKies quickly, most of the easy ones have been mentioned already.

Should we also hold your hand while we guide you to the missions and then while you run them?

Let's be honest here, we likely will end up doing exactly that.

I know, right?

I've found this site to be an invaluable tool for figuring out where you are and where you're going:
http://evemaps.dotlan.net/

I'm only about 20 days into the game. Before I found this site I always felt like I didn't really know where I was, in relation to everything else. Now I have a few maps printed out that I reference while playing, so I can get a sense where I am (or where I'm going) in relation to the big picture.

Google Sisters of Eve Epic Arc. I think it was called "Chasing the Shadows" it will give you around 20 M for starting your career but you will need to ship up to a fail fit (skills) cruiser in order to complete. The mission works best with drones + missiles. At least some enemies can scram + fast orbit you and it hurts a new player to replace the ship.

When it comes to FW - you can earn some money orbiting beacons for 10-20 minutes and getting LPs out of it. You will need some initial isk and way to transport the stuff to a trade hub. I wouldn't recommend going into that solo. Better find a newbie friendly FW corp (I think many would take a newbie) and check their kill board - if they are active join them. If the corp has 500 people but only 2-3 of them are on the kills - well it's your risk.

No one here has yet mentioned baiting Mission Runners.

It's closer to PvP than PvE, but it's a great way to make isk in high sec, and with the proper support, making billions is completely possible and realistic. You'll be hated by many, but have some good fun and make some isk in the process.

Send me an Eve Mail if you'd like to know more.
