Betting on sports events in EVE Bet. No joke. I'm too lazy for the hard work of making ISK in-game these days. The upside is you can make kazillions in an instant. The downside is you can lose the same in an instant. Just like RL gambling. Crap, still no easy way to make a quick buck....

That's awesome money for a newbro. We have a few newbros here at Southern Syndicate who are earning that sort of ISK. Good luck with your mining career :)


i don't have to jump anywhere to sell it either

mine it and sell it in the same system

Nice. If you're ever interested in starting NulSec mining then message me in-game and we can get you started. Keep up the good work :)

I apparently made 10 billion isk in my first year and spent 7 billion.

I have no idea how.

I've been using PLEX to play Eve for about 5 years. After a break, I paid with CC for a bit until I had ISK again. When I look at my payment history and the number of PLEX; I have no clue where all the ISK came from either lol.

I don't bother right now. I've been sitting on a decent amount of liquid isk to do whatever I feel like for a little while now, and I haven't bothered making any more money.

When I find that I need to, I just go into a flurry of market trading or whatever, then stop again. I don't do PvE except in short bursts to get LP for something.

last time i tried, my 4th go a nul-sec i was ganked in 3 seconds by a player with a -10 standing!

meh, the venture only costs like 600k anyways...that is why i stay in high-sec and i will keep mining until i get a good grasp of what to do. I hear moon mining is profitable

You're going to want to read up on moon mining a bit more. And then be disappointed.

Yeah I meant with mining boosts and a load of blues to cover your arses, oh, and Ship Reimbursement :) Solo mining in Nul is def gonna get you killed.

I make on average around 110 million every hour mining in highsec.

This money funds my PVP characters in lowsec and nullsec


whats needs
4 hulks
1 orca
And the ability to CONSTANTLY WATCH LOCAL for potential gankers
A POS for shields, and compression capabilities

All perfect skills and all best implants (except the michi implants because **** thats expensive) Shocked


Also!!! Food for thought:
Reverse engineer T3 cruiser hulls, (legion, loki, tengu, proteus)
build them
sell them
its around 30-40 mil profit per hull


More food for thought:
1: make PVP character
2: make it have the ability to use covert cloak
3: find wormholes.. and jump into them
4: scan down offlined POS's which still have mods on them, like research centres, ship maintence arrays etc..
5: blow them up
6: ????
7: profit


more food for thought:
GAS HARVESTING!!!1!1ONE!1!

more food for thought:
apply to some empire for FW
get cloaky frigate which can have covert ops cloak
fit it with T2 salvagers
use d-scan to determine if any ships in FW sites.. if yes.. stay out for now but wait
as soon as people warp there and start killing each other.. when the fight is over and its quiet -- warp there and salvage
sometimes T2 hulls make alot of profit from the salvage involved


More food for thought:
Search abandoned POS's in highsec with mods still on them
Wardec the alliance that owns them
kill the mods (research centres.. etc)
profit from it


theres loads of other things i can think of.. but thats hopefully some ideas for you to 'mix things up a bit'

If you have an Alt that you can put in Highsec, and they can either fly a Logi, or decent skills for a BS, then I'd say Incursions. You'll see that about half or more of all Incursion pilots are Null alts.

It's good isk.
Still has the good social aspect (vs mining, missions, industry).
Site times are not that long so you can leave in a hurry.

It's probably the best, most consistent, and safest way to make isk. Other ways can make you more, or require less in game time invested, but have their own drawbacks or risks.


Unless you in a leet incursion fleet that lets you in the moment you log on, you income is never going to be consistent. Running null anoms is the most consistent way to make good isk. Wh's are good too, but you need a fleet to make the c5/c6 escalations work. an alt t do this will also be quicker to train than a incursion runner.

... What next ??

moon mining itself will be difficult as all the good moons will be taken, buying the simple reactions and reacting them to complex reactions are very profitable if you do it right..

I need a solid income within the game. Not a fan of selling plexes, not because I can't afford them, but because I feel it's cheating.


Yeah no.
PVP = ISK BBQ
Earning isk ingame = doinitwrong.
I mean i love me little PI trainsets and moongoo pos structures to feed and labs and shootin red crosses and all that pve caper, but i do it for the interest value, not the spaec money. Hell, i'll even mine sometimes, unironically, not as bait.
I'm just not time rich enough to scratch up PVP level isk. I hear ratters or explorers talking about their isk/hr, it comes to less than a coffee.
