EVE General Discussion

It depends on what you want to do. Blitzing is always worth more per hour, but salvaging ( which is the correct term btw) will net you a lot of isk and goods for your time you can use to do other things with like producing your own items. The choice is what game style you care more about.

As Eternus8lux8lucis said. Most of it is up to personal preference. Blitzing is better isk/hr. But personally I prefer taking it slow and methodical (I run missions to relax not as a primary income source)

If you are going to salvage I HIGHLY recommend a salvage alt and a second monitor. With a little bit of multitasking you can salvage one mission as you finish the next.

If you don't have an alt/second monitor and you intend to salvage. Then drop down a mobile tractor unit in each room of the site as soon as you land. It will save you a MASSIVE amount of time and effort.

These are all great suggestions guys, thanks.

That is the second idea yes

THAT is a good idea I might try that. What ship would you suggest? And what do you mean by alt( I am a new player)?

An alt character would be a character in a second account that you can use at the same time are your mission running characters account.

I'd suggest maybe the Exequror with cargohold expanders in the low slots, it's a faster train for a new player to get into and will cost less than a noctis (you're also going to need to buy the salvaging drone skill). Try recruiting yourself for an alt account and get 250,000 skill points on that new alt character. Then to get Omega status for cheap and a nice skill training boost (Comes with a cerebral accelerator that boosts training for 14 days or you can sell this for around 250 million isk) for training buy a 'Core Starter Pack' and activate that on your alt account (look at G2A.com imo for a much cheaper code to activate on the account). Train Cybernetic's skill up to 3 imo to be able to buy and install 2-4 +4 learning implants (willpower, intellect, memory, perception). You can also just use +3's if the +4's are too expensive for you at the moment.

You now have an alt that you can use to help you salvage and do whatever else you want to do with it. Remember to also Remap for long trains based on the skills that are primary and secondary in the attributes for that skill. Those skills you later wish to train that take days can be significantly shortened by moving all attribute points into two skills to maximize training time (for a new character you have 3 Remaps available, it can take 1 year for additional Remaps to become available). The primary skill you get a 100% train for, but the secondary you get 50%, so always try to increase the primary more than the secondary in most cases to max out skill training per hour (might require a little math to figure out how to min/max it based on your remap and implants). Best SP/minute is 45 with +5 implants, and with +4 implants it's 43.

Hope this helps a tad more, sorry if it's a bit confusing but I hope it helps you out if you want to setup a new alt.

Then again I for some reason thought the Noctis required more training time, but anyway it is still more expensive. The benefit to training into the Exequror is that you can now fly various Gallente ships as well as a Vexor if you decide to join a nullsec corporation later on.

Also, sometimes even if salvaging is less "isk/hr" it can save time elsewhere. For example if you can build your own rigs from a pile of salvage you already have in station then you don't have to go somewhere to buy them, especially if you are in an area where the market is not very good.

The change in the salvage materials if CCP implements the loot change will be significant on those missions previously unwanted for looting and salvaging. Though amounts will still be lower with certain missions it might skew some decision making in the future for this skill path.
