'''Creating an Alt Miner''' can help you get started mining and fly a [[Hulk]] within a month and a half.

'''Creating an Alt Miner''' can help you get started mining and fly a [[Retriever]] in 7 days or a [[Hulk]] within a month and a half.

== Introduction ==

Line 7:

Take consideration into whether you want to start a new account or train an in-account alt, depending if you are interested in creating an industrial alt in the future. You cannot train skills simultaneously on the same account between two different characters without paying for [[Dual Character Training]] with PLEX. If you choose to create an in-account alt and decide you want to go into industry, you'll have to retrain a new account or pay an account transfer fee.

Training a new avatar to fly a Hulk from scratch using this guide will take about 48 days, or 42 days if you use implants. It can be done slightly faster if you're willing to spend two neural remaps.

''Please note that post-Vanguard patch, all players start with 400,000 additional skill points trained.''

Training a new avatar to fly a [[Retriever]] from scratch using this guide will take about 7 days 17 hours, or 6 days 17 hours if you use +3 implants.

Training a new avatar to fly a [[Hulk]] from scratch using this guide will take about 49 days 12 hours, or 43 days 1 hours if you use +3 implants.

These can be done slightly faster if you're willing to spend two neural remaps.

'''The requirements are:'''

*Brand new avatar with no training

*69M ISK

**Approximately ~~40M~~ ISK for four +3 implants (except for CHA)

**Approximately 34M ISK for four +3 implants (except for CHA)

**Approximately ~~29M~~ ISK for skill books

**Approximately 30M ISK for skill books

***This is only about 1M ISK if you want to fly only a Covetor

This eliminates 2-3 days off the training time and ensures the 48 days maximum training period. This is also a reasonable setup for learning many combat skills. It will leave you with another remapping to use, but if you're certain you will keep this alt for mining only, there's a different option that will further shave off some time (see below).

This eliminates 3 days 2 hours off the training time and ensures the 48 days maximum training period. This is also a reasonable setup for learning many combat skills. It will leave you with another remapping to use, but if you're certain you will keep this alt for mining only, there's a different option that will further shave off some time (see below).

#{{sk|~~Cybernetics~~|I}}

#{{sk|Spaceship Command|IV}}

#*~~After training this, plug in the +3 INT/MEM implants~~

#*18 hours

#{{sk|Industry|I-V}}

#{{sk|Industry|II-V}}

#*~~This one will take about five~~ days

#*5 days 2 hours 33 minutes

#{{sk|Mining|IV}}

#~~{{sk|Mining|III-IV}}~~

#*18 hours

#{{sk|Astrogeology|I-IV}}

#*~~This is about~~ 2.5 days ~~of training~~

#*2 days 17 hours 35 minutes

#*No later than this point, plug in your +3 PER/WIL implants

#{{sk|Mining Frigate|I-III}}

#{{sk|Mining Frigate|II-III}}

#*7.5 hours

#{{sk|Mining Barge|I}}

#*~~This is about 8 hours of training~~

#*30 minutes

#*At this point you can fly any mining barge fitted with Strip Miners I and a Survey Scanner II

#{{sk|Mining Barge|II-V}}

#*20 days 14 hours

#{{sk|Astrogeology|V}}

#~~{{sk|Spaceship Command|IV}}~~

#*12 days 17 hours 25 minutes

#{{sk|Exhumers|I-III}}

#*19 hours 19 minutes

And you're ready to get into your Hulk (with Strip Miner I).
