Can someone tell me how much isk and LP can you make per hour from running lvl 4 missions? Thanks.

Let's just say estimates vary widely. A conservative estimate with reasonable but not great skills and decent knowledge of the missions you're doing might be around... 30mil ISK? And maybe 10K LP in higher security, twice that in .5/.6.

Like I said, that's conservative and if you search around you'll find some pretty insane claims of 300mil ISK/hr but that's... unlikely. Or at least rarely practical.

The thing is people tend to take their best mission time in their most profitable mission and then use that as the basis for their calculations.

Results will vary.

For a high skill player 20-30mil/hr is pretty common. That value can go up or down depending on the markets for loot/salvage/tags. But grinding missions at that fast of a pace will get very boring very fast especially, after you have run the same mission 100+ times. Roll

I have heard 0.0 missions for the pirate factions are very profitable in terms of LP but unless you're in a corp who "controls" the area there's a good chance people will scan you down and kill you.

Yeah, pirate missions in NPC 0.0 are absolutely sweet. I used to run them a few years ago and it was, umm, a much more interesting experience compared to empire space. Of course, I got ganked. A lot. But it still was fun. Smile

20-30m an hour is EXTREMELY low, if you take everything into account, even in hisec.

30 to 60 million isk 15k to 25k LP in middle sec areas. That is not constant but can be done with good skills and knowledge of the missions, and surviving the low sec missions. Something like enemies abound can pull even more because of tags. However the next hour may be drone missions and they can drop that to 10 to 15m isk pretty fast. Unless you loot everything but then that takes time too depending on ship.

It varies so greatly that there is no real number, 300m isk an hour... ummm no. Could it be done? Most likely if everything was perfect

300m an hour is quite high and is only in unique conditions - a market spike or possibly for an item that moves extremely slowly. However it is not TOO far off maintainable and realistic numbers.

300 mil/hour in empire space? complete nonsense.
I run missions with 2 accounts. I have a stable 2800 isk/LP exchange source. Max social skills.
Blitzing missions with 2 Tengu.
And my average is 100 millions/hour. Yes, good missions make it go up to 150 millions, but when I get crappy missions, it can go as low as 70 millions an hour.
If you're working with one account, and not perfect skills, and have no idea how to make most of your LP, then you can make around 20-30 millions/hour. Most of it will be from bounty/salvage obviously.
If you can't fly Tengu or some battleship efficiently, then 10-15 millions per hour is not that bad.

  • 10 mins doing a mission (10 mil isk average depending)


  • 49 minutes chatting in corp (hello, smacktalk, arguing etc etc)


  • One minute realising i got to get back to work and also realising all that wasted time could have been used to salvage in a noctis, 10-15 mil isk


Total time = 1 hour

Conclusion - Inefficient method, do not use.

Not to mention 3 to 5 mins to get the Ale poured in the mug and a few goot gulps to wet the whistle. Then changing out moduals, loading up new ammo, buying ammo, selling or scraping any loot, getting into a good corp discussion on the propability of FTL ships and yeah some hours 10 mil isk is not unusal.
