Three easy steps:

1) Sit in Jita 4/4
2) Buy PLEX with real money
3) Sell at the current price of one billion ISK per unit

I mean, why work in a game and have fun when you can just RMT your way to end game content? It's what everyone else does.

Today 6 hour session and only in High sec I made 450 M ISK.

I am lucky, I had two very rare drops from sansha vigil. Lol

But maybe I am too hasty in counting ISK, still I have to bring it to trade hub and sell it.

I recommend you checking out Jonnypew's videos on youtube, they were the ones that helped me get into the 1-2 billion isk area

just run missions. or scan down site and use a astero and learn to hack. the rest of the comments are almost garbage. for a newish player in high sec youll find missons and salvaging them to be profitable.

You can push 100m if you know what you're doing. The key is having the knowledge of which sites are actually worth running and quickly grinding through them while ignoring the other sites.

Being good at probing helps too. I've heard that some people can actually narrow down the sites based off the signature % after the first scan. That'll save you some time if true.

My recommendation though is to try out lowsec. The drops are better and you can roam further more easily using the low-to-low wormholes that spawn.

Hisec incursions can make 100M+ ISK/hour. If you have the skills+fit for them, which takes a while. They're... broken.
Combat sites can sometimes give you shiny things.
Missions make some ISK, and loyalty points can be used to buy more things to use or sell. If you get into trading or hisec industry, they're a stepping stone because the higher standings make things cheaper.
Or you could get into scamming and corp theft if you're evil enough. But, doing things which make other players not like you gets guns pointed at you, so use alts and don't share your main.

At the end of the day, friends are a lot more important than some silly ISK thing. You play the game with them and it's more fun than playing alone.

Wish people quit exaggerating. Your best bet is to train for the Svipul or Confessor and daytripp C2 WH's from Hi-Sec statics. You can make on average 30-40 mill an hour. You'll also need an scanner/salvager alt.

Or train for the Gila and run SOE lev 4's and make 20-30 mill an hour. Two toons with Gilas can make 35-45 mil an hour.

As an average incursion runner you can also make >80m an hour. You don't get to discount the hour or two spent on the waiting list every time you want to run. You also aren't allowed to exclude the time required to setup your concord LP deals. You also aren't allowed to dismiss the time required to move to new focuses. Not to mention the rage closings which keep you from making any isk for days/weeks and sometimes for whole months.

I've had people who while running with my boxed fleet comment that they were making more isk per hour with me than with some of the communities. I run about 70-80m an hour per account with a dirt cheap fleet.

In contrast when I run missions I log in and start right away with +80m an hour per account. IT would be higher but it takes me some time to put stuff on the market sometimes and I don't always blitz. The nice thing about SOE LP is it's extremely easy to convert isk in comparison to concord LP.

Now don't get me wrong I am well aware there are a couple fleets out there that do +100m an hour consistently. Those groups have high requirements for their ships/implants so if you're not in a faction battleship with modules worth +4b and with full implants worth +1b then they won't even give you a glance. Those types of fleets tend to be close knit with a vetting process. Even those fleets are susceptible to the problems I mentioned earlier. Not to mention to make that isk they are also running paper thin tanks with all that bling.

There's a post on these forums where a fellow goes into great detail (including spreadsheets etc) mapping out how he can do +80m an hour doing level 3s. I'm pretty sure he was using a relatively cheap HAC fit.

I can get a marauder put t2s on it and do +80m an hour pretty easily in 4s. Sunk cost is a fraction of what incursion runners have.

If you think it's broken then feel free to gank us.

I can't tell if this is a post mocking incursion runners and their generally inflated self reported earnings (MA EGO!!) or if this is a real post making the claim that two accounts can earn 1b an hour doing incursions.

It would have to be 2b, since it's two accounts to PLEX.

You can make a lot of ISK in an hr in High Sec.

Go to Jita IV 4, redeem plex, sell plex. If you did it for an hour you would have insane amounts of ISK and you would crash the market in the process, **** a lot of people off I am sure. Once your wife found the credit card maxed, you would be homeless and playing EVE on a laptop outside Starbucks but you would have loads of ISK.

Exploration is cheap, easy, and doesn't take long to train for. Run relic sites and/or combat sites.
