EVE New Citizens Q&A

Pretty much everything in the "Trade" skill subsection. Most of them are relatively low ranked skills so it doesn't take too long to max them out.

However, I should point out that none of these skills are actually necessary to do "trading" as a profession. The basic gist of the whole profession is "buy low, sell high." All the skills do is cut some taxes here, allow you to put up more sell orders there, buy orders over here, etc, etc.




It is recommended, yes. However, some people do make a tidy profit moving very small high-value items in frigates (requires significant capital and/or balls though).

If you want to move "bulkier items" then Industrials, T2 Transport ships, Frieghters, and T2 Jump Frieghters will be your bestest fwiends.

The Orca is also a good alternative if you want something that can haul and then some (with a sexy tank I might add). The only problem is that it deviates from the "Industrial ship" progression.




Trading overlaps with pretty much every profession out there. Even low-sec "outlaws" can make good use of trading skills if they set their minds to it and often reap obscene amounts of ISK because they are effectively dealing with a "captive market."

With Industry and PI... someone else will have to answer your question. I am not very well versed in either.

Not 100% true Velicitia, people who subscribe from trial to a paid account using the ingame PLEX don't pay the 5$ fee.
But as that are really really few people it's safe to say that almost everybody has paid that fee.
