But I do, I make Dos Iskies.

I don't have to do anything to make money. I'm a billionaire from 80% passive income and 20% from just doing what I do for fun the smart way.

EDIT: Okay new question, how long does it take for you to make a decent amount (10m+) of isk, and doing what.


it's really simple mate, all you have to do is check out: eve-central.com (or any othr market trade site for eve)
but i used to use eve central myself so ill explain it
go to trade tab
then enter a starting station (i use the following one by one: heimatar, metropolis, sinq laison, essense, tash murkon, kador, khanid, placid, everyshore, amarr), and use destination as system jita preferably.

it shows all trade routes which give profit, i.e items selling low in the starting station and buying high in destination (use jita for reasons i mention later)

you should be putting jita in the destination for 2 reasons:
1. the results are fresh as many people scan jita markets and upload results to eve centrl database often
2. there are multple buy orders so there is little chance of someelse filling up all the buy orders before you and you ending up with what you bought elsewhere to sell boo hoo
also it is better to have an alt placed in jita to check if the orders exists

the only downside is that it is possible someone also checking eve central might buy everything before you and you end up going to the station for nothing but you lose only time (which can minimised by putting your alts in strategic locations for checking orders like sinq laison, hek amarr and jita)

take care against margin trade scams (look it up, or avoid items with low market movement and expensive)
don't haul anything expensive by yourself, contact courier corps like pushx or redfrog
using eve central you can make upto 2-3 bil in few days but from then it is not that totally effective by itself, because when you have upwards of 5-10 bil, the 10-20 mil profit trade routes look like pocket change and not worth trouble, ocassionally you find valuable trade routes (upwards of 100 mil to a bil). once i bought a rhea in lonetrek for 6 bil and sold in jita for 7 bil, i pay 77 mil to blackfrog courier service for transporting it so didnt even take any risk (i cant pilot it anyway)
hope this helped you.

Ratting, running class 3 WHs. Looking into drug manufacturing, though I don't think I'll make much profit from that. I'll probably keep the drugs for me and my friends.

Oh god.

Since developers actually listen to "nerf em!!!!" whine I suspect most interesting answers won't be presented in this thread.

So let's say usual "L4 missions ~ 20mil / hour"

L4 missions - on alt that can do SoE missions in high-sec, another alt that runs Sansha missions in Stain.

I don't really know my ISK/h - if I had to guess I'd say around 70-80m ISK/h in 0.0. But 2/3 of that would be in LP which I only cash out once in a blue moon.

I usually make about 60 mil/hour doing Incursions. That's good enough for me, really.

Small scale/solo pvp, so I can take all/most of the loot and sell it with a trader char.

At the moment I can average about 2bn an hour when I need cash. I just do an 1 hour of work, then buy a pair of GTCs. Anything else is too much time and effort.

Invention /Manufacturing and occasionaly mission running.

But I see OP is quite young, and really 10M are about nothing in eve economy.

You should run missions (considering your eve-age, maybe level 3s would be the most time efficient for you), salvage the wrecks and sell the loot.
With level 3 missions, you should have your 10 M in about 2 hours...

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Daytrip into C1s and C2s and run anoms.
It's unpredictable, fun and profitable/very profitable for a young player.
This path is good if you have PvP-skills and can fly an AF.
Feel free to PM me for details (no, I won't try to lure you into the hole I'm in).

The real reason to how all those null sec players make isk is macro mine..
You can only make like 20 - 30 million isk an hour of 'actual' 0.0 ratting.

When people say you can make like 100 mill an hour doing it, they are just full of sh.it.

in a c1-c2 wh which is realisticly solable you can make like 60-100 mill isk an hour. But remember, an hour is relative in all cases, its all dependant on how many plexes in local/rats etc..
