As weird as it sounds, I want to play EVE mainly because of the appeal of a 100 percent player controlled market. The combat aspect of EVE sounds hella fun don't get me wrong, but I think this is what I see myself doing. Thanks for posting this vid!

Have a look at Dual Universe (on kickstarter), its economy is truly 100% player controlled (no NPCs whatsoever)

+L brea yup, I love the combat just as much as anyone, but my favorite part is logging onto my freighter alt, heading to Jita, stocking up on necessities then heading into lowsec to stock up my corps&other friendlies stations with a +50% markup ;) someone has to do it, and most people in lowsec will always pay to avoid a long trip themselves

I bought a trade character and decided to mess around with 2b on that character, that character now has 30b alone, adding my collective total to about 60b in isk and assets. TY MY MANLEY

That depends on market conditions cerlestes.de has an ore price calculator that puts Kernite as the mineral of choice right now, that's found out in Amarrian space (Domain, Tash-Murkon, Devoid, Derelik, Kador, Khanid or Kor-Azor regions)

@grizdaagon3705 11 жыл бұрын

For hauling I would suggest using courier contracts. You are looking at the ability to move alot of stuff through-out most of high sec for low prices. This way pays other people to take the time to move it. It will allow you to spend time doing other things. Trading between systems is more or less a "meh" kind of thing. What I did starting out was taking things to Level 4 mission hubs from Market Hubs. Generally ammo, drones, a few ship fittings while avoiding the "ship" market itself.

Well back before Tyrannis mineral prices had dropped so low that I was able to make money insurance scamming - buying or building battleships for less than the insurance payout and then self destructing them. Then Tyrannis came around and I flipped all my money into NPC planetary commodities which were certain to rise in price, that put me up to about 10billion ISK. Later I figured out that the demand for Nocxium was so high I made a profit refining cheap items it for the nocx. Opportunities.

I didn't watch the entire video but another aspect of trading in EVE is to be on the test server. One of the most powerful market movers in EVE is the nerf bat and if you know something is going to get changed before others, you can use that. An example, Meta 4 large energy neuts went from 400K to 1.1 mill in Odyssey as a result of changes to an Amarr battleship bonus. That's 250% if you purchased a few thousand of them.

@grizdaagon3705 11 жыл бұрын

For high sec I would say run missions to get level 4 missions. They are pretty easy and keep you in high sec. This also allows you to see what drops in the missions to be able to put up buy orders at cheaper then selling price to also use that as a revenue for isk making.

@scottmanley 11 жыл бұрын

You can do it, just warp from belt to belt looking for 'commande' NPCs but some days you'll make 100million and the next you'll make 10, it's very much down to luck and it's easy to get bored doing the same thing for hours on end.

Great video, there are a few points that you missed but those mainly come from experience and cant really be described in videos such as knowing when to buy out a market or to pull out of one, trading has literally paid for my 7 accounts for the past year or so. I started off trading in pos modules and have come a long long way. Also jita is probarbly one of the hardest places to trade due to the speed that the market changes, you can make alot of isk there, you can also loose a whole lot more

@Kylliian 11 жыл бұрын

If you want to so this, sometimes you have to haul to other stations, I watch the markets in Jita for 2-3 hours, look at Eve-Central and look for opportunities simultaneously. If I see a better deal somewhere, I haul the item there, and profit :) And look for items with larger margins, stay away from statics like minerals.

@OperationValhalla 10 жыл бұрын

Go with an Iteron IV you can cap out around 40k m3. That will jump from profit margin up quite a bit. Once you feel you've outgrown that trade up to a Orca for around 500k m3 of various space.

Scott you got me into an odd position, I "played" eve a long time ago, I say "played" ... since allot of my time was offline skill training. Your videos made me decide to give it another try, with my first month coming to and end and concluding I probably wouldn't come back I decided to gamble all of my ISK on a website I found... and to my surprise won 2.5 billion ISK. So I figure I should play for at least another 4 months but I have no clue what I should be doing.

Hey there Scott. I've been debating this in my head quite a bit. I currently run 3 accounts. A Combat/pvp main, A Mining alt and a Trader alt that deals with Jita regularly. Would it be wise to keep them all on seperate accounts? Should I move my trader over to my main account and just log on him to check orders? Or would it be better to keep him separate so I can stay logged into him? I keep all my accounts logged in when I'm online so I can multitask and check things constantly. Opinions?

Scott, I've heard it was possible to get a PLEX in the 21 day trial by run around in 0.5-0.7 sec systems and going to each belt and looking for faction wrecks and looting from them. I saw a faction wreck once when I was mining and the loot was a 45 mil warp scrambler. Do you think this would be a easy way to get a PLEX if someone doesn't want to do trading?

@BHGiant3 11 жыл бұрын

You set up buy orders which allows people to sell items to you. When people fill those orders, you then take your newly bought product and you put in sell orders at a higher price which then allows people to buy from you. And it's almost impossible to make a PLEX on a trial account.

I remember making millions of ISK in EVE online till I got feed up with having to pay monthly and it was taking a large chunk of my life. I might play again if they ever make it a one time fee. Heck I'd pay $100 or more so I never have to pay another monthly fee.

Is there a program or website where you can enter your API to see how much isk you are making via the market?
