Once you get above 10 billion ISK, trade beats most things. You can make 10-20% every month. It also scales well, so you can make more money the more you put in. The only risk is a fat fingered sale where you buy/sell for a stupid price in error. If you are lazy you can just accept a lower payout from your trades of 2 or 3 percent. If you have 200 billion ISK, that is a payout of 4-6 billion a month.

Most recently I run Angel missions for a few weeks. By the time I got to the point where I couldn't bear to think of doing another damb mission, I'd enough ISk to basically not worry about making ISk for a year.

Oh and about 6.5M Angel LP. Woopty doody.

There should be a list of worthwile pve activities. I haven't earned even 1 ISK in about a year, and my reserves are starting to run low.

As my main chars are in a w-space system where pve is not really a good option (mostly high-class space too hard for solo pve except in super-blingy ships, but chains changing very often due to pvp and hole rolling), I'd like to find an activity for my alts that I can always do when I have the time. So not like wormhole sites where you don't always have sites or you have hostile activity.

But I also wouldn't work for less than 100m/hour as a bare minimum. When I lived in c4 space I made 500m/hour so 100m would already feel pretty terrible. Any activities that fit the bill?

You can earn $20 in an hour IRL, so buying a plex with real money and selling it nets you 1.1 billion ISK/hour. Hard to find anything in game that competes with that

Anyone who spends time in game earning ISK where they don't enjoy the game is working a job for plex.

What a coincidence, that's how I spend mine.

Talk about buyer's remorse. Big smile

Every alt I own has a red safety, this has brought my friends much laughter.

Yes, but usually people have a fixed income / number of work hours and cannot just say "I'll work an hour more now and you give me 20 dollar cash". Unless you are on something like McDonalds where you're paid hourly, but then you don't make $20/h.

So assuming that you need your regular salary for more important things than buying in-game currency, it is easier for most people to "waste" some free time to earn ISK than it is to upscale their RL salary.

Planetary Interaction baby!

When you've got those suckers purring, they're just churning out the isk, 24/7. Sure, you've gotta dedicate some time every few days to restart those reactors and shift some stuff into orbit. But once it's done, it all starts up again, chomping away at those tasty planets.

Before long you've got all that snatch flowing into dedicated planetary factories. They too, start churning away, grinding out even more of that sweet, tasty isk. Just gotta be willing to haul it around once all the smaller stuff starts piling up. Roll And how far up the chain you wanna make is entirely up to you!

And once you start hitting the isk, Plex another account and get that sucker working too! Cool

The rest of your time is free for anything!

Post with your main, like a BOSS!

And no, i don't live in highsec.  As if that would make your opinion any less wrong.
