Hi guys !

I've recently sold a PLEX for 713 misk and now im wondering what is the best way to use this money. I was thinking of getting an orca since im the industrial type. I've invest most of my time in mining and production.

What do you think ?

n.b.: my wallet is now cracking with 759 million isk

Don't fly anything you cannot replace as soon as you undock. Orca would be a bad idea imo.

With 700M ISK and an indy spirit, I would probably invest in a few BPOs and get them ready for Kronos. Or station trade.

I'd say that going that route will make sure you'll make somebody else really happy,
while you'll be short on money for losing a ship you have no use for
or can't defend anyway.


Yeah ... go for it!



Why, in hell, would you want to mine when you have ISK anyway?



Seriously, what is wrong with people nowadays?!

Skill books and a crapton of cheap frigates that you can lose without a worry in the world.

Oh, and yes, maybe a couple of BPOs if you're really the industrial type.

I hear Technetium is a sound investment.

On a serious note, this.
Do buy some exotic dancers though

You could perhaps try reinvesting it in station trading. It is also enough to have a practically limitless supply of T1 PVP ships.

Orca ...bad.



50 PvP Thoraxs.... good.

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

Buy one of every T1 frigate in the game & mess around with them. That should give you an idea of what weapon systems & style you enjoy. Then, buy yourself a T1 cruiser or two, and lose a bunch of frigates in low-sec.

Station trade.

Set low buy orders, once ppl fill them, sell items with sell orders..

Try this in mission systems where people buy and sell loot, ammo... Or pick a popular module in jita and start flipping those, but margin is low.

In the meantime continue training ship and combat skills, do missions, try your hand in factional warfare.

Dont mine. Not worth it.

Log off and never log back on. Since you didn't earn the ISK yourself you will quickly get bored and not want to play anymore. Just cut out the tedious station spinning now and leave.

Go and find a PLEX selling at 710m Isk and buy it

Skill books and a handful of frigs.

Take the frigs out in low sec to learn the true value of your ISK.

Buy skills, then buy more skills.

If that fails, beer and hookers are always acceptable as well.

You sold a PLEX and you dont know what to do with the ISK, this indicates you had no need for the isk whatsoever, so why did you buy the PLEX to begin with?

Im genuinely curious, was it just to have a fatter looking wallet?

I know what you SHOULDN'T do with that PLEX money...... buy ships you can't fly effectively.
Honestly, it's better spent on skill books and lots and lots of fitted/rigged T1 frigates. Give yourself a break from ISK grinding, and actually learn how to play the game.
Join a PvP corp so you can learn how to fight.... even if you don't want to be a pirate, those actual PvP skills (I'm talking your personal knowledge, not SP) will still come in handy if you ever get ganked. You'll know how to fight back, and even if you still die, at least it won't be so one-sided.

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

Buy 700 mil worth of stuff and autopilot said stuff in a paper thin T1 industrial from Hek to Jita, let me know when you will be departing and I will escort you. Twisted
