EVE New Citizens Q&A

Hiya,

I have a question, and it might sound somewhat confusing – I had a hard time formulating it myself.

Imagine the following scenerio in which I am using jump clones, all +4 implants and I remapped my attributes on attribute A and B exclusively. Now I am going to level a skill that is *not* of the same attribute as A and B. Instead it has attribute C as primary and D as secondary. Here's the question: would I win time by levelling that skill when I am using the implants, not because I have more attributes overall but because of the primary / secondary skill multiplier, meaning that without the implants it would be wiser to train the skills which are most affected by my attributes?

I guess that I could answer my own question if I knew how primary and secondary attributes affect skills.

Implants of course affect the attribute and thus the learning time. Naturally you will learn skills quicker with the relevant attribute maxed, be it by remap and/or Implant, but limiting oneself only to skills that one is currently remapped is not always practical especially when still new to the game.

The most efficient way to learn skills is to use EveMon or some other skill planner, make a plan of all the skills you want to learn in a year, then let the skill planner calculate which remap is the best for that.
Implants are just the icing on the cake and EveMon also allows you to take them into consideration for your skill plan as well. Generally, if you are mostly in Hi-Sec or know how to warp off your Pod in Lo-Sec, a +4 Set should be perfectly safe to use, perhaps even a +5 Implant Set, but as aways, don´t put into your head what you are not ready to lose.

Thanks for the replies. I still don't get it entirely, but it appears that what I assumed is correct – and that is enough.

In regard to the other topic... I have been reading it, but I simply don't understand it: incompetent at math and still figuring the game mechanics.

Don't assume the worse right away about me; you just might hurt my feelings.

Ha!

60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day = 1440?

Mr. Butter, regarding your question, attributes affect how many skillpoints you get per minute. It doesn't matter how you raise your attributes (whether by remapping or by adding implants on top or by using the cerebral booster), the only thing that matters is: you have a skill, it has two attributes, what are the values of those attributes as listed in your character sheet?

So when you train an A/B skill you use the A and B attributes, and when you train a C/D skill you use the C and D attributes, as listed on your character sheet right now under the Attributes tab.

Your character sheet has already calculated your attributes, with all the implants and remapping and everything figured in.

If you're confused, let programs do the math for you. If you're not confused, still let programs do the math for you.

In other words a perfect remap of

Primary 32 = (27+5) and
Secondary 26 = (21+5)

With +5 implants would be 2700 sp/hour.

If your skill swaps the attributes (will 32 / per 26 to per 26 / will 32) you'd get 2520 per hour and so forth.

It's not a rocket science but frankly it's far easier to keep track of those SP with EvEmon then a notebook.
