That should give you a start.

But... Why did you buy a toon if you didn't know what to do with it?

Simply by buying a toon you have shown a lack of patience for learning, in my eyes anyway.

I dislike players who buy ready made characters simply because they can't be bothered training one themselves, and then need help!!

In the last week or so there have been a couple of threads about PI, go search.

Buying character requires much more ISK that PI can bring so that argument is kind of weak. Not mentioning PLEX required to transfer character could easily be exchanged for ISK.

my toon makes tech two bpc's and sells them
i mine in a null sec area we control in my corp
i have all maxed implants and everything maxed to do with R&D and manufactureing
this toon also has all skills related even remotely to orca maxed and all skills related to notcus maxed as well
it can fly all ore ships bar the top ship i use it to boost my alt and to haul insane hauls of ore back

as im sure your aware 1 orca load of abc's is around 200m of ore plus (on a bad day in null sec)

my main flys a barge this flys an orca/skiff most days

i fly a noctus when ratting with corpies so i can loot and salvage massive amounts of items with a MTU and salvger 2's

i fit 4 tractor unit 2's and 4 salvger 2's to a noctus and call it a day and come back with 200m of loot per run in null sec

Sure, cool beans. I was just pointing out the obvious in response to your "need for a toon to bring in some ISK".

With that being said, you seem to be quite advanced player so there should be no problem for you to find all relevant info about PI in a matter of seconds on your own, right? :)

Nothing wrong with buying a character. It saves you training time. It gets you into advanced game play earlier. And it puts money in my pocket as a character seller.

The only thing you need to accept is that just because your new character can fly a Titan (for example) doesn't mean that, like most MMOs, you can go ahead an hop right into one. Experience counts for far more than paper skills in this game. Not so much in your case as you are in a corp boosting. But even keeping an Orca out of trouble well means putting in the hours to learn exactly what to do in which situation.

As for PI, there are some good guides here and on YouTube.

Eve's skill training mechanic is archaic - the abililty to buy characters is the only thing that keeps people sane. It's also cheaper to buy a high SP to than to keep an account subbed until that same number of SP are reached naturally.

For the ISK it took you to buy this character you could have funded your true new player for at least 1.5 year.


Sorry, you tried to taks the shortcut by buying a character you have no idea on how to use it.

Good luck finding out how it works.

Yet here you are clueless how PI or google works.

Sorry, but now you claim you are that good why do you come to NCQA if you can do all that etc.

I have bought 2 characters...

But my own trained characters are way better in sense of that I did it all by myself.


Not to forget that your claim is true if you know how EVE works. If you are just minutes old, not even the best skilled character can make you better.
