Buddy Reward Question

My friend wants to put a few months into helping me with a few projects on EVE. I'm curious as to WHY i can't find a secure list of rewards to the Buddy system. I've scowered the interwebs and only found the Catalyst Collection was recently added, and old out dated articles about PLEX Being offered.

With the introduction of PLEX to the system, is there also a Flat out 30 day subscription added to your account still available? I plan to get him mining enough money to activate the account with PLEX, and they say they reserve the right to withhold a PLEX Reward in the buddy system.. But does that mean the +30 days Flat time to my account ( Which I assume is still an option ) is unable to be added to MY account?

Any clarification would be great. Or direction to a List of rewards would be even greater.

If your buddy goes with plex you can get gametime. If he goes for RL money to sub u can choose from a plex/the catalyst collection (plex reccomended)

although your question is somewhat incoherent, i will try and answer what i suspect it might be: if you invite your buddy to EVE, he gets a 21 day trial. if he upgrades this trial with real money, he will get another 30 days play time for a total of 51 and you can choose between a PLEX, the catalyst collection and 30 days play time added to YOUR account. if he upgrades his account with a PLEX, he will still get 30 days, but you will not be able to get a PLEX, but 'only' 30 days play time.

I should buy an Ishtar.

Very easily when your skills improve up to Retriever/Mackinaw level, most miners don't bother though as far as I can see. But if you want to do that then go for it.

Perhaps this article would be helpful? http://community.eveonline.com/support/knowledge-base/article.aspx?articleId=58

If a friend uses your invitation to create a Buddy account and the other terms and conditions of the offer are met, you will be eligible to claim a reward on the inviting account. The main stay rewards in recent years have been either 30 days of game time or 1x PLEX which can be redeemed directly to your account.

Please note that some payment methods such as CD-keys are not eligible to be combined with the Buddy Program. If your buddy upgrades using PLEX you will still be able to select the reward of 30 days of game time for yourself.

More recently the Catalyst Collection was introduced as an option for your Buddy reward, this includes the standard Catalyst and some special edition variants, 6 ships in total, and can be selected whether your Buddy upgrades with PLEX or any of the other eligible payments.

Please check the terms and conditions as these must be met to be eligible for rewards, if you need more info you can send a petition either in-game, from the website or by emailing support@eveonline.com

Start with a Venture, mine the more valuable ores. You'll start at about 2-7M ISK/hr. Training Mining to 4. Then train Mining Barges.

Get into a Procurer, harvest ice, done. 30M ISK/hr, but you have to wait for the ice sites and contend with 100 other people for the ice rocks.

Get into a Covetor, mine rocks, done. 5-10M ISK/hr, if you pick the good rocks.

After that it's into Exhumers, then maxing out Mining Upgrades. But getting into a Covetor should be achievable within the month. Just be prepared to spend a lot of time staring at rocks.
