Currently too low on money in real life to buy game time, hoping to figure out the key to making money in eve so I can buy plex.

I have 50ish million right now and I was wondering what the best way of increasing it is.

It's pretty easy really. Just need a bit of time to research products and babysit your orders, then some patience to wait while the orders complete.

1. Put up buy order in jita 4-4 for 50mil of stuff
2. Sell for 100mil in jita 4-4
3. Put up buy order for 100mil
4. Sell for 200mil
5. Repeat until rich

Buy low sell high.

I don't always play EvE, but when I do, I prefer it to be a masochistic sandbox hell. Stay wardecked my friends.

Find items that have a worthwhile difference between the buy and sell orders (at least 10%, preferably near 25% or 50%) and a reasonable volume. Then set a buy order for the item at least 0.01 ISK more than the next item wait until you have a sizable number of the item then relist as a sell order at least 0.01 ISK lower than the competition. Simple and dirty but effective.

Yes, you're doing it wrong.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

Look for Eve online sales, sometimes steam has a promo sale for eve online.

other wise, you will have a very very tough road ahead of you, gathering 600m isk or so via free accounts before you can both plex and have just enough to barely make the next plex.

5-20 bucks isnt very hard to come by, even in a very poor country, it will be far faster that way, far more efficient.

If you're poor in RL, don't waste time in-game... screw games and get yourself new/another job to earn more in real.

P.S. getting 500m from 50m each month using station trading is totally possible, but is this the way how you want to play? Do you really want to sit in front of graphs and excel sheets , chewing through numbers ?
