Im partially new to this game. Ive had enough time to get a Commerant and fit it..I just seen people saying you can go around Highsec sites and make atleast 100mil an hour. Im interested in how to do this and what ship(s) i would need and what to fit them with? Thanks

First of all 9 out of 10 people telling you isk/hour numbers are either ignorant of the reality of what they are actually making, or straight up lying.

Scamming others can be the best isk/hours but nobody can present real number as each mark will be different.

Isk/Hr is an average of all of the hours you spend playing the game. Getting lucky and scooping 100 mil isk from a combat site is not making 100 mil isk/hr.

Find yourself a decent corp that wont hang you out to dry for starters. Thatll be hard enough as it is. Or at least a small, steady group of guys you can relatively trust with info and ideas.

Making isk isnt all that hard tbh but you need to figure things out for yourself what youll enjoy rather than focusing on isk/hr. Cuz if you got a decent paying RL job then plex will be your best isk/hr above anything in game lol.

There used to be a chart of all the occupations you can do. Find that and pick something and train for it and make isk, if you dont like the isk there pick something else.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Honestly, if all you are interested in in ISK per hour, join the incursion community. They can make ridiculous amounts of money for not a lot of risk and some communities are all about the efficiency of ISK.

But you just painted a big fat target on your head by posting this. If you're interested in ISK per hour it means you're going to go for the shinier ships to be able to make ridiculous amount of ISK in Hisec...

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

the first one for eg is done with a tengu, some time until you can do them.
and he already said, that there is a chance, that it might escalate.
as in maybe or maybe not.
if you join a corps you might learn much faster. best chance aside from scamming is suicide ganking.
maybe you join code?

All those videos are proof of pure luck.

However, you can make a lot of isk. It takes time to train and prepare your character for the task. This is the reason players will tell you to decide what you want to do first.

Try out every aspect of the game and see what you enjoy the most. After you determine what you want to do in the game, you can create a plan to make isk with that chosen path.

This old thing? It's a bit out of date, but it is still a very good reference. Nearly all of the things shown there (both PvE and PvP) have good potential for profit, though some are easier than others.

My advice: don't worry about ISK/hr too much. Eve is a game, and thus is about having fun. Figure out what kind of fun you want to have, then use ISK as a means to that end, not an end unto itself.

Good luck!

Three easy steps:

1) Sit in Jita 4/4
2) Buy PLEX with real money
3) Sell at the current price of one billion ISK per unit

I mean, why work in a game and have fun when you can just RMT your way to end game content? It's what everyone else does.

Step One: Ignore anyone that tells you ISK/hr numbers
Step Two: Read this.
Step Three: Realize fun/hr > ISK/hr.

There is no step four.

New Eden isn't nice. It isn't friendly. It isn't very hospitiable. Good thing there are people here to shoot in the face.

Want to make New Eden a nice place? Try this out.

Its more random loot in game than in those videos. But exploration is ok, I do it after all those years. Not mining, not missioning, but exploration. High sec is when you could begin, but real ISK is in low sec, null sec and wormholes.

Indeed a clear example of how people love to inflate their isk per hour values.

It's like whenever you get a group of people together telling stories things get exaggerated very quickly.

I catch isk this BIG YO!!! No one wants to admit they aren't making big isk every day all day. That would make them sound like a loser or something!!

You can only fly a catalyst but you want to earn the same ISK a carrier in null makes running sanctums / anoms ?

Or you just want to make enough isk to replace your catalyst after you die in pvp?

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

Well, I could make 700 M ISK in low sec after one weekend of playing. I have done it few times. I then basically sit after downtime to like midnight. For two days straight.
But sometimes I lose everything I had there, together with ship.

I honestly had the thought that people weren't exaggerating those numbers, but instead were giving numbers from L5's or what factional warfare missions would give if you weren't interfered with.


You are right though, it is usually a load of bullshit.

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?
