=== Return ===

After initial preparations are completed, {{dothis|'''skill farming'''}} has the potential to [[#Potential income|return]] 3,~~278~~.3M ISK every 30 days (or 4.6M ISK per hour) on an investment of 1 day of game time. An EVE account costs 500 [[Accounts#PLEX|PLEX]] for that time. At an exchange rate of 3.2M ISK per PLEX, that’s 1,580.1M ISK. Therefore, it’s possible to gross 207.5% of the cost of that account with the skill points farmed by a single character. Deduct the cost of the account and profit would be 1,698.2M ISK = 2.4M ISK per hour = 107.5% of account cost. {{dothis|'''Skill farming'''}} with 2 characters on the same account simultaneously requires the purchase of a [[Accounts#Buying_Multiple_Character_Training|Multiple Pilot Training Certificate]] for 485 PLEX. 30-day profit from both characters would then be 3,443.8M ISK = 2.4M ISK per hour per character = 110.6% of account cost.

=== Alpha clones ===

{{dothis|'''Skill farming'''}} for [[Clone_states#Alpha_clones|alpha clones]] is possible but pointless. 5.5M skill points are required to use a skill extractor, but alpha clones are limited to 5M free skill points. So, an alpha clone must consume a large skill injector in order to produce one. Alpha clones can only extract skills that require [[Clone_states#Omega_clones|omega clone]] status (i.e., skills they can’t train in the first place), which limits their choice of a [[#Crop skill|crop skill]]. Several of the helpful skills are unavailable to (or limited for) alpha clones, reducing their efficiency at {{dothis|'''skill farming'''}}. Therefore, this article assumes omega clone status.
