![]() ![]() That said, if multiple characters is a no-go for you, this approach can be made to work with a single character, albeit it will require more legwork in hauling and order management, and more spreadsheet upkeep in filtering out personal transactions from your trading business. This approach does require significant investment of skill queue time in two characters other than your main delaying your progressing, or the purchase of Multiple Pilot Training Certificates (MCT). A third character (my main) also has some trade and hauling skills and can supplement this activity where and when needed. Bunny's guide and utilizes a single account with two characters. In an E-UNI context, I suggest that Slays moon mining fleets and Guristas FOB bashes are both excellent for earning large chunks of ISK you can set aside in full towards this purpose. ~100M ISK would be a good target, and entirely within reach for a Highsec-oriented player if you prioritize setting funds aside for this purpose. However, I do think that this approach can be replicated with a smaller initial seed fund. I acknowledge that 500M could be a significant investment for someone new to the game, especially if they have not yet become comfortable in higher-earning Nullsec or Wormhole space. What that toon did have at hand is a pile of ISK, ships, and some PLEX that I handed over to this character, which has been the source of the initial 500M ISK investment in my trade fund. That previous character did not have a significant enough skill point total to be worth picking back up, and there are people who have my old toon on their contact lists who I would rather not interact with for personal reasons if they are still around. I flew at first with BRAVE, and then with some IRL friends in a lowsec pirate corp, then drifted away from the game due to loss of interest. At the time of this posting the trade alts have 487,199,463 ISK in wallets, 249,525,148 ISK in inventory (and due for a restock), -12,725,783 ISK in future sales tax on said inventory, for a total trade fund value of 723,998,828 ISK for an actual monthly return of 44.8%.įor the sake of transparency: although Lan Man the character entered New Eden in October 2022, I had played Eve previously ~10 years ago on another character for a period of 6-8 months. 13 puts this little project at the one month mark. (I don't know the exact formula the tooling uses to calculate this) 21, 2022, my two trade alts have 100,617,278 ISK in wallets, 479,816,650 ISK in inventory, and -35,890,285 ISK in future sales tax on said inventory, for a total trade fund value of 544,543,643 ISK and a projected monthly return of 37.7%. 13, 2022 with an investment of 500M ISK.Ī week in, as of Dec. Part 2 can be found in the same thread.Īs a benchmark for my performance over the past month, I started my trading fund on Dec. Fair warning, Cpt Bunny's guide is clearly out of date with regard to certain item names, but the core principles are functional and easily modified.Īlso a tip of the cap to Etienne Darmond for their E-UNI forum thread Notes on Trading part 1 which provides excellent advice on UI adjustments, useful insights on the market in Stacmon, hauling advice, and various sanity checks to ensure you don't lose ISK on bad orders, missed zeroes, and/or undershooting the buy market. I would also recommend Cpt Bunny's Trading Guide as I've based much of my own trading strategy on this guidance. To set expectations, I assume that you have a functional understanding of Eve's market and trade mechanics, equivalent to or having completed E-UNI's Intro to Trade class. Mentor Zolpidemz encouraged me to make this available to the Uni at large, so I hope other new(ish)bros might be able to borrow or learn from this approach. Through this effort I came across and incorporated several third party tools and snippets of advice into how I operate, none of which had been spelled out in a single place. ![]() Hey folks! I recently began reading up on trade in Eve as a way to put my ISK-in-wallet to work generating more ISK. ![]()
