To me the first skill to train to 4 is cybernetics, so you can use standard (+4) implants. Those implants cost 20M per implant but they worth the cost. (usually I do not buy the charisma one as I do not train a lot of skills which require charisma but that is just me)

Very nice collection of skills :)

Just made a new alt and have been following these suggestions - covers a lot :)
I'm not sure if I should feel relieved or worried to read that... P
Friendly bump anyway.

I would advise new players against those in the beginning, first because it might make them far more risk-averse (not making tons of ISK and a pod costing 100mil isn't the best combination), secondly because implants only make a meaningful difference on long skill levels, where you can save days of skilling, while it's quite insignificant with level1/2/3 skills that new players train most from the start.

Indeed.
Depends on what you are planning to do anyway... like if you're planning to be in science, you'll need a lot of skills to 5, and therefore could be useful...

Moreover, if like me you're planning your first months training science skills and missionning in high sec, you're not likely to be podded anyway...

But you're right, perhaps I'll save this money and do not even buy those implants, not even buy any implant and just use the ones I get as storyline rewards.

btw I like your avatar ^^

Indispensable resource for new players, and for veterans as well apparently Smile

Fits perfectly with EVEMon to create the perfect mini-game while traveling between systems as a newbie.

Salute!

Almost marched the guide. First thing I did when I started this character was Cybernetics to 5 since I had the steady income from my old character,. Then I ranked up my navigation skills since I spend most of my time these days in my Viator and Iteron before then. I leveled up the CPU/PG skills to 3, then ranked them one at a time to 4 until I felt like I had a comfortable amount for my fittings. Depending on your fittings (Plus faction ships have better base stats) you might not need them all to level 4 for starters although I plan on getting them to 4 soon..

I think I will start on ranking my navigation skills to 5 after I finish training Wholesale/Tycoon.

Wish I saw that kind of guide in the first days, instead of popping SP all over the place and painfully grinding the core skills now.
:sadpanda:


Yes me too, same with not really learning about certificates until now, makes alot of sense, especially just the basic core competency one!

Indeed, the Armor Compensation and rigging skills are missing, the same goes for Shield.
This list is really the absolute minimum required, which is a pretty thin grey line.
Another example, basic skills like Targeting and Electronics Upgrades are not included as you can either do without them or they are not useful for every ship in the game.
I am always open to suggestions to improve this guide.

Bump to prevent locking. I will try to rearrange the skills a bit for clarity soon.
I have already adjusted the Afterburner required level to 3 in response to the many comments on this issue.

Moved Hull Upgrades to Armour Tanking.
You can download an EVEMON skill plan now as well.
