Creating an Alt Hauler: Difference between revisions

Line 72:

Now you will show Amarr Frigate in the left side, counting down from 9h 8m 47s. You have a little time to relax now and do the rest at a more leisurely pace.

Go ahead and close the ''Character Sheet'' window but leave the ''Training Queue'' window open for now.

It's a good idea not to waste training time, so since you paused your other character's training, you want to get started learning as fast as possible.

* Type "Hull Upgrades" into the text box and click the ''Search'' button

* Select the ''Hull Upgrades'' that shows up below the ''Search'' button by clicking it

* Click the ''Jumps'' column header under ''Sellers'' to the right so it has a triangle ~~facing down~~ (▲ - this will only display if you have a good Unicode font)

* Click the ''Jumps'' column header under ''Sellers'' to the right so it has a triangle pointing up (▲ - this will only display if you have a good Unicode font)

There should now be a row starting ''Station'' with the skill book for sale for 54,000.00 ISK at your current location, with an expiration in 364d and change. Right click that row and choose ''Buy This''. Verify the information in the window that pops up, and click ''Buy''. Now you have your next skill to add to the queue. Close the ''Market'' window.

Open your station items by clicking the ''Items'' button on the left of the screen. In there, you'll see a book labeled ''Hull Upgrades''. Right-click this and select ''Inject Skill''. Now, that skill will be in your ''Training Queue'' window under the ''Mechanic'' skills.

So, go back to your ''Training Queue'' window, find the ''Hull Upgrades'' skill, and click ''Add'' twice on it to train it to level II. In total, these two things will take just under two hours.

Now, because it's a bad idea to leave your queue less than full (in case something comes up in real life), pick other skills and fill out your queue (using the ''Add'' button). Preferably, add a long skill to the very end, and as many short skills before then. Your longest training skill now will be Frigate IV, but you might also wish to learn Spaceship Command III.

While we're waiting, let's purchase the ''Amarr Industrial'' skill book in the same manner as you did the Hull Upgrades book above, so we have it when we need it. Only do this if you're planning to stay at the same station, and do not transport the book. Skill books are safest in a dock and in your head, so I recommend not to make a habit of traveling around with them if you want to learn them (using them as trade items is another story).

=== Amarr Industrial ===

So, you now have a two hour window between the end of training Frigate IV and the end of your Hull Upgrades requirements. Plan to be back at the computer during this window (some 9 to 11 hours from now).

At this point, right-click the skill book in your ''Items'' list, and select ''Train now to level 1'', and say "OK" to any pop-up window. If that is not an option, do this instead:

* Right-click and choose ''Inject Skill''

* In your Training Queue window, it should now show up under ''Spaceship Command''. Drag it from there to the top of the queue to the right, so it trains first.

* Click the ''Apply'' button

This skill will train in just over 40 minutes.

=== Conclusion ===

Now, after under 12 hours, you will have a fully trained Bestower pilot. All you need now is a fitted Bestower and something to do with it. That's up to you!

~~There should now be a row starting ''Station'' with the skill book for sale for 54,000.00 ISK at your current location, with an expiration in 364d and change. Right click that row~~ and ~~choose ''Buy This''. Now you have~~ your ~~next skill to add to the queue.~~

== Get and Fit your Bestower ==

(This is a little bit beyond the scope of this document, but here's a summary.)

* Open your ''Market'' window

* Search for a reasonably priced Bestower nearby by clicking the ''Price'' column header to sort it descending (upward pointing triangle, ▲)

* Note the location of the Bestower you'd like to buy - don't buy it yet

* Search again for ''Expanded Cargohold II'' for a good price (this will probably be in Amarr, the local trade hub)

* Decide where you want to buy each of these knowing you will have to travel to both places in either a shuttle (if you buy one) or your Ibis

* Purchase both

* Fly to your Bestower and get into it

* Fly to your Expanded Cargohold IIs and fit them into your Bestower

* Start hauling 13,319 m^3 wherever you want!
