Wormholes

I have never lived in a wormhole.. I heard that there's a lot of potential for making ISK in there though.. What are the pros and cons?

Good website for general info on wspace.

Tldr: Isk is good but you have to be organized and dedicated.

IMO living in wormholes is about the lifestyle, not the isk.

People love to talk about the mad isk/hr in WH space. But it's more complicated.

The only place in EVE you can really talk about just isk/hr are either 0.0 anomoly running or missions. They are pretty much the only 2 places where you can simply log in, and have an endless supply of NPC's to kill. Even with incursions you have to factor in the time to get invited into a fleet etc before you can talk about the isk/hr.

Isk/hr in wormholes really only matters if you can find enough sites to actually keep you running. This generally means farming your static. But farming your static has risks. You can roll your static to find it is full of hostiles (not necessarily bad unless you are only looking to carebear). You could find it has already been farmed out (wasting time) and so forth.

Once you are running sites, you only make potential isk when you loot/salvage. So interruptions will at the very least mean you wasted time and ammo for nothing, and possibly the loss of your ship.

Once all the farming is done, you have to deal with the added logistics. You don't make any isk until you get the loot safely to market and sold. You also have to deal with the logistics of living in WH space. Hauling out loot, hauling in fuel/ammo/ships. This can take significant amounts of time and is also not without risk.

So honestly, IMO, if all you really want to do is easily grind out isk, you can still do better overall just sticking to the traditional isk farms (missions, 0.0 anoms, incursions etc).

If you want the lifestyle of living in the unknown, then try out wormholes.

My 2 cents. And yes fairly generalized, but you get the idea hopefully.

You can make mad money, but it is not as efficient timewise. You can't just warp to a site that respawns and kill rats>receive isk, like in nullsec. You can't just join a fleet and know you will make 100m/h, like in hisec.

Then again, I can do enough isking for bling ships or **** to whelp in null one weekend a month and just pvp/scout the rest of the time.

There are no cons.

Any proper wormhole organization has a PvP component to it and the majority (to my knowledge) do not have Ship Replacement Programs. If you want just a steady upward climb in money while PvPing null is for you since ussually everything is SRP'd. If you just want ISK just do incursions, they are safer. Or you can give me your J-tag to help you move in.

Keep the shiit talking down. Don't leave a tower with no defense. Use common sense.

Those three things will keep most people from evicting you. There is plenty of isk to be made and can be done with a certain amount of safety if you aren't lazy. That said, you will lose ships. It's the nature of the beast.

I lived in a wormhole and the ISK was OK.

I discovered that ganking in wormholes was actually making me more ISK. But much less popular.

There are lots of ways for solo players to make isk, even in deep wh space. There are also lots of ways to reduce the risk, all of which require the use of common sense and d-scan.

Haha, you are so wrong
