They should keep us posted on how that's working out for them...Roll

It's not working. It seems many player are not interested in going there for some reason.

L4 mission rewards are just fine. With max skills, salvaging mission wrecks, and buying the right LP items and reselling; nets players a tidy profit. If you can't make at least 50mil + per hour, you are doing it wrong.



This...

I mission all the time as my primary fun in this game (High sec) and it's easy to make 50m ISK an hour. Most of the time I multi box two accounts and it's much better since it's done in less than half the time per mission and both accounts pull over 100m ISK per hour with salvaging.

I think the problem most new players have is they try to do missions that are just too hard for their skill level at the time.

Here are some time completion guidelines I have found to be realistic.

Level 3 missions = 10 minutes
Level 4 missions = Less than one hour with one toon, less than 20 minutes with two toons.

The deal is the toon has to be skilled or it's a bust.

And learn Missiles

The problem is not that missions are broken. The problem is that you don't know how to play the game. I am currently running 600-800mil/hr (depending on how many blitzable missions I get; if I could get nothing but Dread Pirate Scarlet, I'd be at well over 1bil/hr) out of L4s. The only extra time I put into this is ~30 minutes of 0.01isking at peak time about every day, and a run around the major trade hubs twice a week. Hell, I could just buy from sell orders and sell to buy orders, and I'd still easily have 300mil/hr.


This I would love to see! Me thinks you are adding too many zero's.

: D, people like to create their own LP:ISK ratios.

If you saw, you'd copy, and my LP ratio would plummet.

And to note, those figures aren't for high-sec L4s. Still Empire-faction L4s, naturally.

Train for a Maelstrom. Train MJD. Train Projectile weapons. Equip a Mael to snipe targets at over 100km. Make sure it has an AB. Warp to L4 mission, align away from rats, activate MJD, keep rats at 100km, shoot till all dead. You can setup a Raven similarly with cruise missiles. You do not need advanced skills, you will only need to farm the standings until you can run those missions. L4s are easy for sniping BS.

My fear is very simple, Missions suck.

CCP made every agent "quality 20" a couple of years ago and promised to iterate. Guess what they didn't do?

LP stores also need looking at, some are really good, some are really bad, and there is nothing in between. There is precious little that differentiates the LP stores of one NPC corp versus another. Each faction has the "good" LP stores and the "bad" LP stores with no other granulatrity, desireability or anything else for that matter to set them apart from each other.

I rarely run missions anymore. They get old after a while. But if there was a bigger difference in what the different LP stores offered - in terms of BPCs mainly - at least choosing your agents would add a little wrinkle to the standard PVE grind.

If all you are reselling is the BPCs, then you are doing it wrong.
