Hello i have been hearing alot about sanctums being a great source of income and i was wandering precisely how much isk/HR can you really get running sanctums? and what sort of ships do you need?... I've heard thats its basically carriers or nothing... And are running sancutums really the best way to get isk for your time or can you tell me about other ways?

I can't give you and isk per hour but you certainly don't need a Carrier. Unless you are deep into blue territory a Carrier is a big slow liability. Any well tanked Level 4 mission ship will solo a Sanctum. If you are in a small gang then you have even more options.

If you are flying solo then Havens still offer good isk and are substantially easier

Hi Cal Gin

I used to run anomalies in 0.0, and I believe I made somewhere between 22-28 million ISK for each santum, depending on the faction, the types of ships spawning, and whether I was lucky enough to get a faction spawn at the end.

Taking into account that one needs to scan and warp around, I believe I was able to pull in somewhere in the range of 30-45 million ISK pr hour.

I was personally flying a carrier class ship, which probably is the one best suited for the job, but it is also possible to use other types, such as Marauders, Tech 3 and even well fitted battleships.
If you can't handle the sanctums yet, there is also a decent profit to be made on some of the other Cosmic Anomalies such as Havens and Hubs.

If you want some numbers numbers of what to expect of the sites, I would recommend you check out the pages on the wikipedia that lists all the spawns on the different sites:

Angel Sanctum
Guristas Sanctum
Sansha Sanctum
Serpentis Sanctum

Happy hunting!

Exploration is also a good way to make ISK in 0.0.

Bear in mind with any 0.0 space there will be times where you will lose your ship to hostiles and/or not feel safe enough to run Sanctums / Belt rat because of hostiles in the system.

You can make 20-22 mil in the "ring" sanctum and 25-28 in the other one. I used to use a tengu but tbh a carrier with fighters is easier, no ammo, keep aligned to a safe and sign of trouble warp out.
Don't align to the station always to a safe pref a POS.

These can although rarely lead to a escalation when finished which if fully escalated can go from 100mil upto just over a billion.

Get in a good system that has 3 or 4 sanctums and you can farm these almost continually.

Personally I would use a carrier but as a previous poster mentioned any old ship capable of lvl 4's should be fine.

The best way is to get into a leadership position and skim off the top of corp/alliance income.

Sanctums is the way to go. They are always there and you can pound them out in a drake. The ring sanctums are easier, so try to do them to up the ISK/HR thingy
