I dont set an isk target. If I need something I grind for it. Currently building a Kronos and a other popular ships to sell on for more isk, which I will then spend on skill books.

I make about 200+ million a day If I ice mine a little bit, but if I really try I can make more.

Also depends on if I have bonuses, and if I have my PI crap working.

I pull in about 3B or so a month, mostly through trading. I'm fortunate to be acutely self-aware at how much I suck at PVP, so I keep myself in cheap ships and cheap fits until I can learn not too suck.

But I'm not holding my breath.

40M / hour running high sec L4's, once you add up rewards, bounties, salvage, LP cash ins, reproccessing to build ships.

Could squeeze out more but I'm general pretty bored after an hour and half afk after that.

Depends a bit on my mood, how active I'm feeling, and howmuch money I'm in need of.

if I were to actually get off my butt and be fully active in all the things have running, I'd be making about 3-4B a month, probably more. Usually it sits around 1-2B a month, since I like to relax a little every now and then, and chatter with corpies.

Does railgun ammunition come in Hollow Point?

This is probably the best way to see the grand scheme of Eve things.

OP

Run a few missions and gtfo when you're bored enough, sell your lp's asap/fast with faction ammo or slowly for a much higher income with specific mods.

Trade some stuff.

Buy some cheapo mods you can reprocess for a much higher income selling those reprocessed minerals

Exploration

WH exploration can be tricky if you can't afford more than 4 hours thou.

Low sec/Null sec ratting

Last but non least: try to join some corp matching your goals with people in having a life like you. If that corp is in some known low sec alliance or null sec alliance you'll probably have to respect some rules and CTA's but it's really not what most people think about.

Try to explore other parts of eve universe, you'll get the isk and some ties better isk than you can ever think you could get but the most important is to have fun for the money you put in this game. Isk comes and goes.

Probably most users English is still better than your Chinese, you know EvE support a lot players form difirent countrys form entire earth, and they got rights to post here ? is a game where people met together, what a arogant person... Even meny CCP empoyers got specific lanuage accent and some of them are far away form perfect English, for example while they talk in fan fest for some people is hard to understand what they talk, but no one mention this and nobody hate them for this, people just respect other people, just STFU or change community if you have problem with them.


While I agree with you, I think you misunderstood Nikodiemus.

He is not attacking people who have English as a second language, he is talking about people who are born and raised in English speaking cultures, who never bothered to learn their own language properly.

Those of you who have learnt English as a second language, I applaud you. Wish I could say I have achieved something similar.


This man here has a brain and is correct.

Also, aside from my half assed attempt to troll, to answer your previous question with some more detail, in either the last fanfest or the one previous (I cannot remember which) Dr. Eyjog said the average player had about 600m isk.

This matches somewhat other statements from CCP Diagoras so instead of asking how much you make, which is actually very tricky for some people to calculate for a variety of reasons including escrow, cost of goods in production, inventory etc. do some math here based on this average and come to your own conclusion.

Never really count. I've not deliberately made isk since February. I've made some profits along the way during various mineral price increases and buying and selling tech but I usually market trade for a few weeks and that will give me enough isk for maybe a year.

Back in my null days i could make a good 500mill in a day if i chain ratted the belts, making sure that i clear the crap ones to spawn the awesome ones. Once you had them all setup you could make a fortune just killing them over and over, and using a dedicated salvager. Thats assuming no-one comes and ruins it of course. Can you still chain rat these days, did they change that?

Running the lvl 4 missions, specifically the best ones like extravaganza etc, could make me quite a bit of isk, with a dedicated noctis salvaging as you go. Can't remember exactly how much i made back then, and the repeatedness quickly puts you off.

These days i make alot of isk via PI, but ive never really worked out how much it makes me per day, but about a bill every couple of weeks. And thats it addition to whatever i can be bothered to do in the rest of the time. Cool

Post with your main, like a BOSS!

And no, i don't live in highsec.  As if that would make your opinion any less wrong.
