Skill Farming: Difference between revisions

Line 212:

If you intend to use your profits from {{dothis|'''skill farming'''}} to pay for your EVE account, you’ll also need an honest reliable source of reasonably-priced PLEX (because you can’t pay for your EVE account directly with ISK). As a currency, PLEX are a bit more secure (thanks to the [[PLEX_Vault|PLEX vault]]), and anything you purchase with them from the New Eden Store can be redeemed at any structure by any character on the same account.

Note that you can’t pay for your EVE account with PLEX if you purchased that account through [https://store.steampowered.com/ Steam] or another [https://secure.eveonline.com/etc.aspx third-party retailer]. Those retailers accept only [[EVE_Lexicon#I|IRL]] currency. You can open another account directly with EVE, but you’ll be starting over as a [[EVE_Lexicon#Newbro|noob]].

Line 231:

Pause to check things out. You’re in this clone for a day, may as well make use of the time. Decide if you’re going to split your injectors (see [[#Small injectors|Small injectors]]) and how you’ll price them. Place your sell orders. Look for good buys on PLEX, extractors, and anything else you need. Do you have outstanding orders here that need attention? (I keep buy orders open at all my clone markets for PLEX, extractors, etc., at 80% of their average sell prices. If you can afford the [[Introduction_to_Station_Trading#Getting_Started|escrow]], it’s a good way to grab a bargain.) Done? Return to your clone bay and await the next harvest.

Ready for advanced {{dothis|'''skill farming'''}}? Install clones at as many different markets as your skills allow. At harvest, use your market tool to decide which will give you the greatest profit. Jump to that clone, then extract and sell there. Or extract a few large injectors ''here'', sell them, then jump ''there'' and extract more to split and sell as small injectors. If you’re willing to travel a bit and sell to buy orders (or even contracts), you can throw your net wider still. Between harvests, keep an eye out for good prices on injectors; it’s always possible to have a partial harvest and take advantage of them. If you purchase your extractors from the New Eden Store, you can redeem them on any of your clones at any structure.
