==Learning Skills==

While you are doing your career agent missions or the epic arc you should always have a skill in your skill queue. EVE is different from every other MMORPG out there, that you do not gain experience points but your skillpoints will accumulate over time. Even if you are not playing. Read the [[Skills and Learning]] guide to learn more. You can speed up your learning time by modifying the attributes of your character. One way to do so is by neural remap. But take this advice: Do not remap in your first three months. You might remap your attributes to learn PvP skills just to find out that you like manufacturing more. Then you are stuck since you can only remap once every 12 months. So use your remap sparingly.

Another way to boost your training time is [[Implants]]. Implants come in different flavors but the most common ones are the +1 to +5 attribute enhancing implants. While the better ones are very expensive, the +1 implants are quite affordable even for a new character. EVE University also offers [[The Implants Program|subsidized +3 implants]].

If you do all your career agents as recommended you will end up with a large collection of skill books. That is a good thing since the price of skill books can be quite overwhelming for new players. But never save on the wrong end and make sure to always buy a new skill when you can afford and need it. EVE University provides certan [[The Skillbook Program|skillbooks for free]] to its members.
