Skills train in real time even when you log offline.  The older a player's age the more skills they probably have, but don't be discouraged, it takes over a decade to learn everything in the game and a young specialized character can overcome an older jack-of-all-trades.  Skills are trained level 1-5 with level 1 taking the shortest amount of time and level 5 taking the longest.  Generally speaking, if you are going to train a skill you should probably train that skill to at least level 2 or 3 to get the most out of it in the quickest time.  A level 5 skill takes 80% of the total time with only 20% of the benefit.

Unofficial New Player Skill Planning (work in progress)

This is intended to be an all-in-one place for new players to visit to wrap their heads around the vast amount of skills in New Eden and get started with basic skill planning. Perhaps one day E-Uni will have an official skill plan and I hope I could be a part of it. A large problem with discovering skill plans as a new player is that most Eve Online articles on the internet are outdated or skewed toward an alliance's doctrine. This page was last updated in January 2016. I hope this information (or lack thereof) helps. o7

What are skills and how do they work?

Skills train in real time even when you log offline. Generally, the older a player's age, the more skills they have. Don't be discouraged, it takes over a decade to learn everything in the game and a young specialized character can overcome an older jack-of-all-trades.

If you wish to understand more about how skills interact with each other and determine skill prerequisites visit Skill Tree Maps.

More great skill information is located at Skills and Learning and Support Skills.

Starting Skills

You start with roughly 400,000 skill points (around a week's worth of training). Back in my day we were gifted Thermodynamics, but you already have it trained. Another great thing about being a newbro! If you want to know what other races start with visit Starting Skills.

Neural Remapping

For more information on skills and remapping visit Skills and Learning. Support skills help new players fly every ship better and mostly need Intelligence/Memory attributes, but do not remap unless you know what you are doing. You could waste months of training time.

Skillbook Name Changes

Eve Online is an old game and things constantly get updated, including skillbook names.

(WIP)

E-Uni Member Perks

Free Skillbooks

As a member of E-Uni you can get up to one million ISK worth of free skillbooks per day. If you are interested visit The Skillbook Program.

+3 Implant Program

Did you know as a member of E-Uni you can get cheap +3 Implants? Implants help you train skills faster. If you are interested visit The +3 Implants Program.


Part 1: Getting Started

First, this plan is by no means perfect and can be tailored to suit your needs in New Eden. Miners don't need Gunnery skills and PvPers don't want to shoot rocks. Learn about the differences between the four main factions and see their basic ship fittings by visiting the links below:

(It seems you are one of the unlucky to visit this page in its early stages, so yea...irony. There is no skill plan here yet. If you are interested in an older plan that is frigate focused visit Recommended skills for new players. The Minimum plan will help you get started. o7)

Part 2: Tank before Gank

Generally speaking, shield skills are used for PvE and armor skills are used for PvP. Amarr and Gallente ships generally armor tank while Caldari ships generally shield tank. Minmatar ships can do either while real players hull tank. If you are unsure what which tank to focus on first, check the traits of the ships you eventually want to fly or expect to fly most often. Regardless, the goal is to get both T2 shield and armor tanking before training into T2 weapon systems.

Never dual tank. Pick one or the other.

    • Shield Operation IV
