New or returning pilots: Fastest ways to make isk for those who have lots of ISK? But what I want to ask is: Other than station trading, what ways are there to make money quickly for those who have lots of ISK to use?

There's a lot of desperate nerds play eve, reckon if I got a boob job they could see past my bald head bent nose and hairy chest? Ratting with a super is not something you should do without absolutely knowing what you're doing and have a proper batphone in case something goes wrong.

Just use that 6th slot and light a cyno if nerds show up, then free content. Incursion ISK is usually pretty decent ISK by any reasonable standard. Admittedly I might not know a lot of people, but for how relatively easy incursions are vs. Where as in TVP almost every ship is optimal and the pilots have skills greater than level 1. I've exclusively been with TVP.

A few times I've also been a scout, and when I do that if there aren't 40 people in fleet I can usually sneak a few ninja payouts in, with FC permission of course.

Only about m per hour. Cheaper and easier to just run incursions, and you don't run the risk of a 28b lossmail. If you know what you're doing with that super, and theres no surprise awoxeronis you probably wont lose it. Buy things in jita, put them in a JF, fly them to the ass end of nowhere where there are still people and make isk. I feel like that is the same amount of bluefucking as the person who. The absolute fastest way to make a ton of isk is to find a job that pays at least 15 dollars an hour after tax.

The people who won didn't even use their 5 dollars to make the profit, they started a line holding business where people paid for their spot in line to gain quick service. The point of this is you shouldn't try to use your pile of isk to make more isk, you should just go suck dicks for m at a time. ISK making activities in EVE that don't require much ISK to carry out are generally quite time consuming.

Sure, it can work in an experiment where you have unlimited time to plan, but I'm not sure there's big ISK to be made without investing a fair bit. I'm gonna make sure to save this thread so that in 3 years when I have enough isk I can make some more off of it. Buy when the price hits the initial low be careful, it might go lower than you think and make sure to get out at the right time. Keep a close eye on dev blogs and press releases. I already do that, thats how I got my isk in the first place.

Mainly a mix of geckos, genos and PLEX at certain points. Plus I bought a lot of jump freighters a while back and have sold those for a nice profit too. Buy plex off market and wait. The price always goes up. Well I put my extra isk into that anyway. I even have containers for them named what I paid for them.

The problem I have with investing in PLEX is that is doesn't always go up. Things like a sale by CCP can drop PLEX prices in a matter of hours, which is neither predictable nor logical. But you're right, it's more consistent than other markets usually. Though if I were to invest in something long-term, I'd put my isk into the character bazaar. While all things can change in value, SP's value remains largely consistent because of the time investment.

Perfectly logical—it's basic economics. Increased supply better meets demand, therefore lowering the price. However that didn't overcome the fact that every bet I ever make fails in some outrageous way. I made so much isk on the Hawks at their first superbowl victory.

I lost all my liquid the next year. That is indeed a lot of isk. How would you even get that kind of capital to start off with?? I mean I can probably make around a bil a day in escalations, but if rather save up a bit and then use the capital as no lifing for a whole 16 hours is annoying and DEDs go like hotcakes. How would one do such methods, and what kind of capital should I get up to with ratting before investment in markets would be more profitable than escalations??

Some things are easy to predict, like how leopards and geckos are inevitably going to go up in price because they are useful, but there are limited numbers of them which are constantly decreasing due to the fact that they are being killed. Or how when they said the Geno CA-3 and CA-4 implants were going to come out, I immediately bought a huge amount of the CA-1s and 2s because I thought they would become more valuable due to the larger set.

And sure enough they did. PLEX is a tricky one, as a general rule it slowly goes up in price, and if there is a PLEX for good event it goes up very quick, but if it goes on sale then they drop quick. Its just considering these kinds of things. Or stuff like if they say they are going to nerf a ship, look for what most people will start using instead and buy up tons of that to sell after the nerf for a profit.

Intel trading is a little more tricky. You have to have spies in places where people want intel, such as large alliances, and if you can, work your way up to a somewhat high level member. So market speculation is basically stock market trading in eve kinda. Always wanted to try out stock trading IRL, and with the few practice on spreadsheets I've done on how I'd do, seemed to go well. I guess I'll keep an eye open for patch news.

Got the august patch coming. Sell anything that is being nerfed before the patch, buy things that will be in higher demand after the patch. Hey, I'm not judging I did it for a few hundred mill Depending on what group you are a part of Loans can be a good way to get a steady return.

Reactions will also provide a steady return. If you have trading experience and decent capital, you can also use that effectively for manufacturing. Buy inputs in large quantities when they are low. Even if those other activities are still better isk, the level of attention required and actual risk are so much lower.

As much as like "hurr durr ratting carrier", a T2 fit one blinging anything besides maybe faction DDAs is pointless with Geckos is easily less than 2B, so even if you lost one every couple of weeks, you're still comfortably in the green. Each carrier was probably around b isk and he ratted pretty safely for a few months. This was pre-fighter nerfs. The problem with Geckos is that to be safeish with carrier ratting, you will sometimes need to bail on your drones.

Geckos are expensive, and depending on the space you're in, Heavies or sentries are better. The idea behind using fighters or Geckos is just that you can warp to 0, align out and essentially stay at warp ready speed just in case people came into local. I'd assume that Heavies would work well for this too, sentries you'd probably be accepting that you're sitting stationary which I'm not sure would be very safe.

I haven't carrier ratted though, so I'm not entirely sure of the "best" method nowadays. Yea, I use heavies for my ishtar, and the same thing applies, but if you have to warp out to avoid those pirates who hit system, it's better to leave behind 15m in drones than a full compliment of Geckos, that way the ROI is like 10 minutes vs hours for Geckos.

Also, depending on the system in which you're ratting, heavies will tick faster than Geckos. For n00bish level don't even worry about super carriers or anything like that. If you want to make a nice sum in my very limited experience I found scanning down certain combat sites can be HUGE.

I ran a certain Sansha site can't remember the name After nearly getting owned me and my partner 2 peep fleet rolled out with like 90 million isk in faction lootz not to mention the bounties being paid off.

Also data site hacking is good. For a cheap ship setup I would recommend a Heron with some Acquisition and Rangefinding arrays and if you have the skill put in a couple scanning rigs. Even with basic core probes I was able to scan down some average data sites.

I was doing umm JonnyPew put the fit out on his youtube channel. So what do you want more ISK for? You can obviously already make enough to buy any ship you may want to, are you just after making ISK for the sake of ISK?

That's fine I guess, just personally never understood why I'd want to grind more ISK than I can blow up. If someone offered to tell you where a rival alliance was going to be moving their supers. You'd sure as hell pay a bil at LEAST for the info. Assuming the source is trustworthy.

I did for a while: P But I got tired of playing isk-wars with bots and other people so I burned out very quick.

Spam your buddy link. A few billions a day, you only need a venture and being somewhat of a whore. Bonus point, danger zone: I know the viking love their beards. It just so happens I can, indeed, treble your ISK.

Or PL or various lowsec groups that farm level 5s. Im just not sure if its kosher to super rat in the CFC. Then how do they fit and stay safe? Wow the fact I didn't know makes me feel like such a noob. Buy a few alts and quadbox in TVP. Never had less fun, and you get to get fucked by blues while youre at it. Set up reaction chain. Pay other people to manage it. C6 if you are hardcore bear. A billion isk is a billion ISK. Join a renter corp. Dual boxed carriers and used the isk to bling is titan a bit more.

Best place to fly. I still do market speculation stuff, but I dont do active station trading. Posts are automatically archived after 6 months.
