HI,

Im currently making around 160million isk a day just selling refined minerals. I have 4 character @ mass production 4 now and i want to get into making even more money. For start-up BPO's what should i be looking at to get more money for my minerals.

I can buy any BPO researched that i want and i get all the minerals myself. Anyone have any ideas on what direction i could go in to get more out of my minerals.

Cheers in advance :)

Trouble is the moment one publically mentions what is great to manufacture it near instantly becomes *not great* to manufacture :o)

The Eve Market Guide - https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=19622&find=unread - is a great resource, the manufacturing tab should suit you fine whilst I think you're predominantly talking about T1 manufacture. Take the site as the basis for further research, the prices are generally a bit on the old side and you can guarantee that anything toward the top of the list will be nothing like as profitable by the time you get your goods out.

EDIT: whilst I'd almost consider this a given by now, just in case - Production Efficiency skill to level V.

All i can really say is take a look at one of those application in this forum section... Depending on where you planning selling, different things can be profitable to manufacture and sell.

Best advice that was given to me long time ago was: more work it takes to do it, less competition there usually is.

Manufactutors are lemmings, at the point something becomes relatively more profitable everyone is switching. So you want to be ahead of the crowd and produce anti-cyclically, and have a large enough stock of BPO's to actually switch productiontypes.

Also you've GOT to factor in the time you spend selling stuff. Producing high-profit items seems nice, but if you've got to spend 2hs a day on the market fighting the competition, well, profit vs effort suddenly is not looking that great anymore.
