As of 1 March 2025 there were 494 different skills in EVE, with a total of 2,361x training time multiplier, and a total of 604,416,000 skill points. Every {{clonestate|omega}} character can potentially learn every skill, but it would take over 24 years of skill training even with 32 points at all [[#Attributes|attributes]], or 3,718 Large Skill Injectors, to achieve.

Pilots who completed the starter missions from the [[career agents]] will have already been given some useful skillbooks. And more skills can be acquired by reaching goals on the [[AIR Career Program]].

The main way to acquire other new skillbooks is from the market. Pilots can browse the available skillbooks under 'Skills' in the Browse tab, or just search for a particular skill. Most skillbooks are sold by NPC corporations for a fixed price.

The NPC sell orders can be distinguished in two ways: they have a uniform price, and they have nearly a year's worth of time listed in the 'Expires In' column. (The maximum amount of time a player can put a sell order up for, by contrast, is 90 days.)

** To apply all your unallocated skill points to your training queue, click on the "+" button on the right side of the total training time.

Skill points can be applied to skills already partially trained or injected.

Unallocated skill points are included in the total skill points amount listed on the character sheet.

This is a partial chart of level and rank to figure out how many skill points a full skill takes, in thousands of SP. Using this table, we can figure that a rank 10 skill would take 3.1 mil skill points from level 0. Note how the first four levels of a skill are 1/5th the amount of the maxed skill.
