I can't find this specific information anywhere that's recent.

What are the rough guides to payouts in missions?
I know that the lower the security the better the pay, but by what factor?
-Whats the difference between 1.0 and 0.9, or 1.0 and 0.5?
-Whats the difficulty factor between sec status?
-How significantly does Agent Lvl affect this?

-Payouts between different mission types

And agent levels:
-Whats the rough payout for Lvl 2 mission as opposed to 3 etc.

-Anything else affecting rewards?

Basically I'm looking for a formula (very rough) that goes something like:

Payout = (Agent level*?)+(?/Sec Status)


Thanks.

EDIT: Even just give me the Level, Sec Status & mission type. Ill work one out myself.

Hello Volkan Alkaid,

Payouts are based on many factors between skills, security status of the system, standing towards that faction or corporation. in terms of ISK I believe (not entirely sure) that most of it comes from the bounties on the NPC's within the mission location as well as the mission reward (assume security missions). I will hazard a guess to say security missions give the highest payout as you get the mission reward as well as bounties from NPC. So as you stated the lower you got and the higher the mission the higher the base payout will be because the more "dangerous" NPC Rats will be there. That is really the difference between the security status systems. You will find higher bounty rats within a 0.5 then you would a 0.8 system, keep going lower and you start to talk about faction and higher bounties.

There isn't a formula that I can find in terms of the ISK payout but there is one for Loyalty Points and that is skill based mostly.

Actual LP Reward = Base LP Reward x (1 + (0.05 x (Level of Connection Skill 1 + Level of Connection Skill 2)))

There are two sites I will point you towards:
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Missions_guide and http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=MissionReports (unofficial site) Those are your best bets on finding what you need.

I hope this answered your question. Feel free to contact me through In-game mail if you have any more questions.

Security type missions pay most (because you get bounties, loot, salvage in addition to rewards) so I will only consider those.

Agent level is most significant factor for mission rewards.

I'd say that 2nd important factor is which mission you happen to get. When I was doing level 4 security missions for ISK, I declined all missions which paid less than 10 mil ISK (reward + bounties).

I did not care about security status. For me it was more important to have few agents near each other than to get a bit more ISK from lower sec systems. (I don't know exactly how much more I would've got.)

That is old formula before agent and connection skills reform. Nowadays there is only one connection skill affecting each agent (e.g. Security Connections for security agents) and it gives 10% LP bonus per level.

Between 1.0 and -0.1 reward and LP double. They double again in 0.0 . LVL2 missions make about double then LVL1. LVL3 make little more then double of LVL2. LVL4 missions make about triple then LVL3.

All that stuff are base values and won't apply to new players. You have to look how many mission you can run per hour. Here we enter the realm of competition and I for sure don't want you to compete well with me.

The formula for rewards hasn't really changed. All agents are quality 20 now, and instead of 2 skills for bonus LP there is only one.
