Hi there I would like to know for all you rich players out there what is the best way to make 40 billion isk +. I am not looking for exact ways as those are classified to you but I am trying to get a 100 mill sp char and I am looking at potential sources. I recently put in the calculator that if I do level 4 missions 4 hours a day 7 days a week I will get 40 billion isk in around 350 days if I make 25 mill an hour. So that is very long and boring but it's a way. I am just wondering one of the best ways shy of stealing it or it being given to me to make this amount of cash so I can get a 100 mill sp char. Any answers are welcome and thank you for your time

Best regards,

Reka

Step 1) Find 0.0 corp to join

Step 2) show up for their CTAs once a week or whatever

Step 3) Make obscene amounts of isk in relative safety the rest of the time

Get yourself into WH sites, do some research and make as much ISK as you want.

Depending how much time you put into it, assuming you can put in those 4 hours everyday. You are going to make at least 2bil a week.

easier ways

1. get the frick out of highsec, IE join a C4/C5 wormhole alliance run the sites you can make 500 mill ish per site.
2. Move to 00 and run anom's eventually you will find, hauler spawns which drop minerals and eventually get a escelation. aka 10/10 those can range anywhere between 400 + mill and up.

3. Buy plexes with RL money works too. at current price say 550 mill at 28 plexes = 500.00$ wil give you around 17 bill if not more giver take.

4. another trick in 00 life find a hidden asteroid belt mine meroxit, and get a rorq pilot to compress it for you tends to sell for more.

and if your stupid enough to spend 40 bill on a 100 mill sp char your prolly getting scammed.

Be careful son. Half the suggestions here almost require that 100m SP character you're trying to buy.


Either shortcut with plex, steal it from someone in Eve or do it the hard way. Mining/Missioning etc.

40b is a LOT of money to make for a new guy.

Patience is probably your first task. And start by buying a 20m SP char or something and work up from there.

EDIT. Another small suggestion if I may. Put that bloody spreadsheet away and just ENJOY...

a 100 mill sp char should only cost you about 17 bill ish. not even depends what that char has if it has titan skills for dd max jump drive skills titan 4-5 then 17 bill is resonable.

i had a guy try and sell me a 70 mill sp toon for 21 bill when it was only worth 13 bill.

Honestly...save the money...
You're new here, there's no need to try to rush to 40bil to buy a 100m sp toon. By the time you got the 40b you might already be at a very comfortable SP point. More SP != autowin

If you want to get really rich in this game you shouldn't look to grinding. It doesn't scale well with how much time you put into it and it doesn't scale with how much money you have. Of course no one's going to tell you how to get rich, but if you're smart you'll figure out a way. EVE is all about taking intiative.

Doesn't anybody just start new toons anymore?

Eve is a journey, not a race.

You could 'loan' yourself out to 40 fat chicks for 1bil Isk a piece....or 4 really fat chicks for 10bil a piece...

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

What the hell do you need 100 million SP's for?

Anything you do that would earn you 40b, without selling plex, would likely have you specialized into whatever it is that you'd like to do, in that amount of time. Hell, you could probably be specialized in a couple of things in that amount of time.

Even if you get the 40b, how the hell do you plan to afford to do everything in the game?


What exactly is it you want to do?

I'm sure Initiative will be more than happy for him to try and take.

Or get full time job, save your money and save yourself from the temptress called Eve.

You don't get into bigger ISK by trying to play the game. That is impossible. You have to get it from the players, and that's a lot harder than NPCs... but in many ways it's more rewarding too.

There are a number of ways to do this, but none of them are easy, of course. Gotta use the noggin...

1) Be an organizer and orchestrater
This one, in my view, is the hardest. You need to get people to follow you. You need to lead a large corporation or alliance and pay yourself from the corporate coffers, but at the same time you need to look out for all of your guys and ensure each of them is also more successful for being in your corp, otherwise they won't follow you. I really have no place saying more about this... you should talk to some alliance heads and see what they have to say. I'm sure there are about a zillion subsections under this point.

2) Scam
Scamming pays. It's true. Finding scams that consistently work and completely understanding why so you can apply it in the right way/context is much more difficult. Jita local is not a great place to look for these methods, btw... and successful scammers won't even admit they are scamming most of the time, let alone what their method is. Still, the sky is the limit with scamming.

3) Be a titan of industry
Industry on a large enough scale can pay handsomely. This may require a small army of alt accounts or some very loyal partners w/ whom you'll have to split the rewards.

4) Market trading
Some of the richest people I know in the game made the bulk of their fortunes simply making savy trades on the market. Buy low, sell high. Speculating on future game changes can be one of the most lucrative things you can do. It can also totally clean you out in one shot. With great risk comes great rewards (sometimes). There are few places where this is more true than the Jita market.

5) Provide a service that is hard to replicate
SOMER Blink, EOH Poker, BiG Lottery, etc... think those guys are poor? Think again. This one requires a lot of talent on your part though, from creating an web application to promoting your service, there's a lot of upfront work and risk, but a lot of potiential for profit if you can climb that mountain.

Nobody gets rich playing the game... unless they use an exploit like that old moon mining POS error (which will get ya banned) or something more subtle and manipulative like the FW thing those goons did to make 5 tril (which was subsequently taken back by CCP). The ONLY way to get rich is by getting it from other players.

just my 2 isk...
