Everyone knows that when CCP gives blueprints they are always T2 and always Originals.

You are right, edited it to clarify that point.

I figure the best Christmas presents are the ones you actually use, so I took the Caldari large ammo pack. Definitely not the best option in terms of ISK you could make etc, but I will use the ammo for sure.

Sure wish I knew about this BEFORE I bought and reseached all those fuel block BPO's, but I was planning to have to use the fuel blocks...and then CCP did that bait and switch on us. Wish I could rewind a couple weeks and do it over.

^YESSS.

I already chose remaps, as they are the only thing ISK can't buy.

Can't wait to dual box my Dust toon and EVE toon on the same machine!

I went with the Remap for my characters, only thing you can't buy with isk. So it was the most logical choice for me.

Yeah think I am going remap, just checked with evemon and can save 12 days of training if I take it. Then I start the remaps I had when I joined EVE.

Anyone who is older will push for the remap. The remap is the best value on there, considering you cannot purchase them. Also, many players (the ones I am targeting for this thought) can make 50-60 mil in a few minutes to an hour. But training time is not as easy come easy go as ISK.

Remap is the best option, 100%.

Need stuff moved? Push Industries will handle it. Serving highsec, lowsec and nullsec - and we do it faster and more reliably than anyone else. Ingame channel: PUSHX

will that remap stack with the existing one? What?


Methinks yes on the remap.

Most likely BPCs on the blocks.

Thank you for the list!

I'm kinda thinking AURUM, I coulda swore I saw something about buying PLEX with it and I've been saving mine. Fuel blocks are also a thought, both for the iskies.

If in need of the only thing you can't get for ISK now, the remap.

i think 80 medium faction crystals will sell for more than 4000 fuel blocks. i think almost twice as much

Med faction crystals sell for between 300k and 500k a piece now, with 400k about the average, making it a ~32m package value... but after the gift period, half of them will plummet to negligible values while even the multifrequency won't remain over 400k, so I doubt you'll get more than 20m out of it, if even that much.
So, 32m now, 20m or even less likely after the gifts (could end up being even under 10m for quite some time).

Fuel blocks sell at 14k-26k a piece (depending on race) and at the current prices, the gift package would be valued at ~70m ISK right now. Even if for some extreme reason they'll fall to ~10k a piece, which is actually quite unlikely to remain valid for long after the fuel block consumption starts, that's still 40m overall, more than the current total med faction crystal value.
So, 70m now, and still 40m at least a while later.

From where I'm standing, fuel blocks looks like the much better choice if you are to get it just so you can sell it any time soon.

What about a full set of +3 implants? I'm an old player coming back to the game (on a new account).

That costs ~40-45 mil ISK right now and will probably go well under that after the gifts are distributed.

ya totally i was thinking medium crystals were selling around a mil a piece. i just checked the market and most medium faction crystals are 500-600 k a piece. but ya i agree after looking into it the fuel blocks are the most bang for your buck errr isk.

I've just chosen the remaps on my chars. As others have mentioned, it's the only option that doesn't have an isk value or can be purchased in or out of game.

I've still got all the previous gifts from over the years stashed away in a hanger somewhere anyway.

Having only one remap a year, well, it was a no brainer really!
