Wow, friend of mine is pushing 200m an hour doing missions with 3-4m SP in hi-sec i didnt think these kind of underpayments in eve still excisted...

200m/hr doing missons with 3-4m SP in hi-sec? Shocked

No offense, but I find that hard to believe.

Even if we assume an optimal setup with 200 NPC battleships that don't shoot back and give a bounty of 1m each, that would mean he had to kill one battleship every 18 seconds. I think it's possible for a 4m SP toon to find a way to kill a 1m bounty BS in 18 seconds. But you won't find enough 1m bounty battleships in 1 hour while doing missions.

Thanks for your reply and thanks for the hint.
Now I think I know what your friend is doing. But I'd say that's a very special way of doing "missions" (efficient, though) and not what most people think of when "doing missions" is mentioned. And I have to admit that I didn't believe you could do it fast enough to reach 200m/hr.
Anyway, you were right, I was looking at it wrong.

No problem, the only issue we have with our method is that after a week, even a few days your sick of it when i ran missions the "normal" way you get on when you feel like it, run some missions until you stop feeling like it then go do something else.

With this method, its more like a second job and when you have prime missions on farm and don"t run them you are potentially wasting ISK, witch i cant seem to get over.

But then again, whats more fun running missions at around 30-60m an hour depending if you get crap or good ones or run 1 week missions @ 4 hours per day 7 days and sit on 6B isk that lasts a good few weeks, we ussually do a 2 week break between mission weeks.

Works for us i guess.

i left the thread a while back. My main has a noctis, just finishing up the last level 2 mission runs on my alt before i move onto level 3. Still the noctis is making a fair amout of money on its own doing level 2 missions (salvaging peices worth 1m here and there), i'm really excited for level 3, bigger loot, bigger salvage. only made like 2m an hour yesterday though and i played for 5 hours so still a couple mill off affording a battlecruiser.

I have loads of money sitting in lowsec but i can't afford the blockade runner to get the PI good out of my lowsec station and i'm not willing to pay somebody to do it for me

Using 3 characters on the same account doing maxed out highsec (yes I said highsec) PI makes me 600-700mil a month almost entirely passively. (Still requires checking in for 10-20m once every week.)

But since your looking for active isk making methods, you can do the same as above but non-passively making higher end materials for twice that.

Alternatively you should have stuck with missions till 4's, yes they are boring as hell, but you can make 20-40mil an hour depending on the random mission generator and if you salvage with a noctis.

As some others have mentioned, sitting in jita/amarr and ninja-looting or ganking suspects can be outrageously good money if your lucky, but can also be the most boring thing in the game, even more than mining if your unlucky.

Avoid exploration as a profession unless you live in Nullsec, highsec and lowsec-wise it's the most profitless profession in the game period. You actually can make more mining... or... ANY other profession in the game.

There are hundreds of other opportunities for making ISK, you just have to get creative.
