EVE General Discussion

Ill bite, even though im pretty sure I know what this is really about. Thread Intent Cloaking level 5 detected.

Anyways, You can run missions from agents located in stations. There are many guides available to help you. I like this one. Its best that you pick one entitly (i.e. Fed Navy or Roden Shipyards) and run missions for that one. Itll help you unlock higher level missions which will lead to better payouts as your standings towards the entity increase. Be careful about declining missions too often. Run storyline missions when they become available, as they will give you a nice bump in standings when completed.

Also remember to loot and salvage the wrecks. When you are a newer player () that extra ISK from selling the loot off helps!

Edit: Oh yes, that guide will let you know what damage types to tank for, triggers for spawn, recommended damage type to deal, etc. All good stuff.

And as always, I recommend all newer players download and read this. Soo much good stuff, soo much helpful.

You could also join a player Corp specialsizing in mining. specifically one in null with 24/7 mining boosts and over 100 members with free starter mining barges would be a great thing to boost your career in mining. Mining boosts literally double what you mine a hour compared to solo mining.

OP, always ensure you have a good tank while flying your Venture.












Actually helpful link: A decent Venture fit

Aww, don't worry, we're just roleplaying here.
OP plays a legit newbie, while the rest of us pretend to be nice and helpful vets.

Since I am already wearing my robe and wizard hat, here is another tip:

Since you want to go into industry, you should run missions for the big research npc corps, for Gallente that would be Roden, Duvolle and CreoDron. If you increase your standing with those corps enough, they will offer you jumpclones later on (very important) and access to research agents for inventing t2 stuff.

Dead end systems, .8 or .9 sec ideally. They offer more Dense Veld, Massive Scordite, Rich Plag and the like than pipe systems.

You will make 2 mill an hour or so and 25 hours later you will have the skills and the ISK to get your Ret. 25 hours more and you will be able to replace it, stay in the same systems you used the Venture in.

When mining gets boring, jump in an exploration ship and check out some of the Data and relic sites. You might luck out on some of the decryptors that still sell for a mill plus but it's more about diversionary content.

I thought so too but according to jpoll it's a trial account thing, once you sub up you essentially get the whole forum.


Anyway,
back to general discussion normality : forget mining ,you should ;
1)become a bounty hunter
2)Run an isk doubleing service (with a bonus room)
3)Start an inflammatory blog and polarize the community
4)Lose an argument with tippia , then join the nights watch

(Don't actually do any of that btw)

try bounty hunting

oh wait

At this stage of your career, you have two choices.

Become more combat oriented and start investing in skils and ships for that purpose. This is a popular choice, since you can put those skils to PvE or PvP as required. Also, it is a much more pro-active way of making ISK. You started out mining, but the moment you can afford a Destroy or better, you can step into the wilderness and kill Pirates for their bounties.

Or you can invest in a industrialist career, and skill for ORE ships and the like. Mining and industry are the backbone of EVE, and probably the most unpopular ways of making ISK. But it is a honest, way of living. If you have a permit that is.

Alternatively, you can dabble in both like me. Guristas ships are very sturdy and synergize marvelously with ORE Mastery, since both have a focus in Shields and Drones. Many will be quick to shoot me down for having these notions, but being able to enjoy all areas of the game with a single character is a boon.

Try bounty hunting.

Mining is actually pretty cool when you're really high.
