EVE General Discussion

aww, angry kid here

While it takes some time, exploration for data and relic sites in null and WH space brings in the ISK. It's boring the majority of the time and you will lose ships. But get an escalated data site and you could be sitting on your first billion with one site. Word to the wise though, join a good alliance for support. If you go ninja, you'll lose ships but it's more fun than running around the same space all the time.

I would like to borrow your 'Angro' glasses, that seem to make you see aggravation everywhere where it is not.

Effort, knowledge, and above 100 billion - dedication.

I made my first 200 Billion after about 5 years...

Try FW. If you are active making a billion in a month is cake (if you are super active making a billion a week is cake).

I strongly disagree with all of this.

It sounds too much like real life and work. Very little like a game.

Fly stupid. Keep your expenses as high as possible. Spend those ISKs. Don't worry about your bank account. Drink and fly. Take pretty much everything that you think is a bad idea in real life and do it.

This is a game. Treat it like one.

Serious answer.

Depends what appeals to you.

Ratting/Mission Running is a common method: Nullsec > Highsec (A day of ratting in Nullsec and I can make about 1b liquid ISK plus ~25% from the loot, dread spawns and combat escalations (ratting only)).

Exploration: Combat exploration in Nullsec is very lucrative - Flying around in a T3 Cruiser scanning down and running combat sites, they're a bit luck of the draw so you have good days and bad days. I've walked (well, flown) away from some sites with 600m worth of loot. One thing to consider with this is that it doesn't get you liquid ISK immediately, you have to sell the loot you get before you can make a great deal of money which if done in Nullsec means hauling it or finding a local buyer.

Station Trading: There are some that say that this is the most profitable thing to do in Eve. I've only done it a couple of times myself because it makes my brain melt with boredom but if you buy and sell the right thing you can make an absolute fortune. There was one guy I believe just to show how it's done, created a fresh toon, no implants, no cash injections, nothing - completely barebone ... Starting with the 5,000 ISK you get at the start, he began station trading in Jita and finished the day with 900,000 ISK. Whilst that figure on it's own isn't anything impressive, imagine that with 50,000 ISK or 500,000 ISK or 5,000,000 ISK?

There's other ways like Mining, Industry, Hauling but I've got virtually no experience there so can't comment.

Hope this helps!!

Dont print ISK by misioning, running incursions or running anomalies, you will only need more and more to buy stuff, currency depreciation.

You would be better of exploring, finding modules, blueprints, that will make majority of your money when you sell it to others. Or trade stuff, buy low, sell high. With so much stuff on market, so many lazy people with multisell its easier than before. Also I think exploration is more fun.

Take a credit card. Buy enough PLEX to take that money and buy all the skins off the market. Resell the skins for twice their value. The folks you're ripping off will congratulate you on your brilliant game play, and you'll have broken that billion ISK mark several times over!
