I am not sure if will made good ISK in this since I read that CCP cut (nerf) the payment bountys and LP rewards Roll

Can someone give me some light here... otherwise I will probably move to do something more profitable than lost 1 hour running 1 hour for little bit of ISK...

how much ISK can made per 1 hour or game?...


Thank you!

I haven't calculated how much ISK per hour but it's decent for highsec. You can afford to PLEX your account even with casual play. Many of the crazy ISK per hour figures people throw out there are for multiple pilots. It should be ISK per hour per pilot

If you want to make decent ISK you have to move to nullsec.

Your ISK per hour will depend on your ship and how much DPS you're putting out. This is dependant on your skills.

Do it for a few hours to get a mix of different missions and see what you think. How much you make depends on a lot, and you can't average it without a good representative sample. Kinda like running 10 invention jobs and making a decision based on those results as to whether you are successful or not.

And as someone already said, most of the isk/hr numbers people throw around out here are complete horse-****.

It's difficult to give an idea of earnings, as a lot of it depends on the corp you are running for, the agent mission selection, whether you loot/blitz, your skills/ship, etc.

The numbers that people put out there are possible, but they generally involve a lot of mission cherry picking. Level 4's have decent pay, I run them to relax.

If you want serious money - null or WH's, in my book. (WH's are where I spend most of my time.)

Most of your isk from mission running will come from what you do with your Loyalty Points. Most people find a NPC corp with a good LP store and blitz missions for LP, then buy items from the LP store, and sell them on the market. That is where you get the ridiculous isk/hr ratios.

The thing about missions is, they're fairly risk-free. I mean, maybe not at first, but after you do them for a few weeks, they will always seem like easy ISK.
Everyone should be able to them imo, just to make quick ISK on occasion if nothing else.

Is the ISK mind numbing? No.
But can you make 20 to 40 mil a night with casual play? Yes.

I'm on of those who don't blitz missions for high LP. I kill everything, loot and salvage. I fly a Paladin so I can do most of it on site while killing stuff. Using a Noctis in combination with MTUs is more efficient though. I'd guesstimate I make about 50-80 millions per hours, including mission rewards, bounties, loot, salvage and LPs (which I'm lazy and only get between 1.2-1.4k isk per). The range is there to account for bad loot/salvage. I don't cherry pick much. I'll decline really poor missions but average and above, I'll do.

The variables are:

- Security of system (0.5 agents give more LP than 1.0 agents)
- your level of Security Connections (level V gives considerably more LP than level I)
- the ISK/LP ratio of the corp you are running for
- the type of rats versus your ship

For example if you are flying a sniper fitted Dominix you would want rats vulnerable to bouncers. You would also want a high ISK/LP agent in a 0.5 system. An example agent that fits this is the SOE IV @ Lanngisi where many of the missions are Angels. Running SOE level IVs in Lanngisi should net you at least 50 mill an hour.

Link?

Is this a done deal, or a proposal, 'cause I've not noticed a difference yet.

I also would like to know this. It must be some really deep throat kind of source because not even TMC got this snoop yet.

i can confirm that it depends on alot of stuff.

i know that in my best case i did 2 8k lp missions with 15 to 20 mill ticks alone. more on the 15M side so. that made 16k lp with a good conversion of 2k isk per lp mission payment and bounties would net me around 80M - 100M an hour. But that was some time ago and with an agent who only gave me good missions in a .5 system with good mission related skills. On low i would say missioning will get u around 40M ISK/h and average will be 60M.

how fast you are at missions depends a lot on your ship, how good you are, how well you run the mission, and how you choose to run the mission. Eventually you get certain missions down to a science and your income improves.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

Incursions would pay better but you need a fair bit of capital to get started and you need to be able to commit to an incursion fleet regardless of real world interruption. Bailing on a level IV mission because the wife needs you to go down to the shops for milk is not an issue. Do that to often in incursions and no one will fleet with you.

Was directed at the OP xD.

Much easier question to answer if we know the alternative he is planning. Ex. If the OP's other option is mining ore by himself or highsec exploration, missions are a better choice at the end of the day.
