EVE New Citizens Q&A

no that's not correct at all.

especially since you used the wrong word.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Attributes do NOT affect (it is Affect...not Effect. 1 letter difference, bit change in what it says) how or if you can use a module.

Skills affect how / when you can use a module.

Attributes ONLY matter to how fast you can skill...


But as you never learned how to read...why are we even bothering trying to eductate you when you clearly are not smart enough to understand what we are saying

I've seen 4 people saying exactly what you asked for, and you still say we are wrong....


And, what did Mr. CAPSLOCK ever do wrong to you, that you are abusing him that much. Shouting will not help you, will not make use change our mind, will not make you right and us wrong.

All it does, it makes you look like a silly little teenage kid throwing a tantrum cause he couldn't get the candy from the store.

I think I have got it..


Now come to find out I shouldn't have even bothered, the prices of these implants are in the tens to hundreds of millions. Not even remotely worth it.

Everything I'm going to be saying here is readily-available on Google. Do a search for "eve online skill implants" (without the quotes) and you'll find a wealth of information.

The implants you want are Attribute Implants: http://puu.sh/e7rmd/6e71b5060e.jpg

There are five basic versions, each one giving an additional increase over the previous, but at an increasing cost for both ISK and skill requirements.

The simplest ones give +1 per attribute, and cost between 100k and 1 million ISK each. You can find these by searching for "limited" under the market tab, and then looking under the Implants section. There will be two sets there, "Limited" and "- Beta." The +1's are the ones that do not contain "- Beta" at the end: http://puu.sh/e7rRH/6c66251da3.jpg

The next step up are the Limited ones listed as "- Beta." These give +2 to each attribute, and cost 3-6 million ISK each. You can easily find these by entering "- beta" into the market search bar, and they'll be the only ones to come up: http://puu.sh/e7shh/63883628fc.jpg

These both require Cybernetics at level I to use.

Next are the "- basic" versions (http://puu.sh/e7sEn/2448de755f.jpg), which give +3 to their respective stat, and cost 8-12m ISK each. These require Cybernetics III to use.

Next up are the "- standard" versions (http://puu.sh/e7sKB/8c295aa956.jpg) which, excluding the 'Special Ops' chip, give +4 to their stat and cost 19-22m ISK each. These require Cybernetics IV to use.

Finally, we have the "- improved" versions (http://puu.sh/e7sWv/b4f00c98a5.jpg) which give +5 to their respective stats, cost around 120m ISK each (yes, 5x the cost of the +4's) and require Cybernetics V to use.

Now, one thing to note about attribute implants is that the boosts in training time you get are not always impressive. Adding +1 to a skill's primary stat will shave 23 hours off a 30-day train, while adding +1 to the secondary stat will shave 12 hours off a 30-day train.

This means that, going for the +4's, you get a total of 140 hours (5.8 days) shaved off a 30-day train, but, going from the +4's to +5's will only shave an additional 35 hours from the train, while costing five times the cost of +4's in raw ISK, and taking 11+ days to train for over the +4's, meaning you would have to have your +5's in for a minimum of 8 months before you actually saw any return on them from the shortest time you can get them (without implants). If you have a default remap, the train from Cybernetics IV to V will take 14 days, while having an off-remap will take 17 days. If that's the case, the +5's would take a full 12 months for you to see any return on them at all.

Most folks consider +4's to be the most optimal, as even on an off-remap train, they only take 3.5 days to train for, and will save significantly more than that.
