Skill trading: Difference between revisions

Line 146:

If you're using the account anyway and for some reason have no need to train anything (the account might be filled with specific alts already trained for their purpose), you end up changing the dynamics for profitability. The ability to train in this scenario doesn't cost you more, you're already subscribing to use the account, so the above mentioned formula is changed to simply weighing the cost of extractors vs the profit of selling injectors.

{{example|<p>Since one extractor makes an injector to sell, if an extractor costs '''300 million ISK''' then anything above that is pure profit in this scenario.</p>}}

Another usage of skill injectors and skill extractors is for personal use to faster train a target character of your choice. In this article we will compare each strategy by its cost, in ISK and in Dollars.

To achieve the goal of faster training, three meta-options are currently at your disposition:

* Buy skill injectors. This can be done by buying at the in game market price, in ISK.

* Training an alternative character on the same account as the target character. This can be done by buying Skill extractors from the Aurum Store or the in game market. This strategy also require a Multiple Pilot Training Certificate, buyable in the in game market, at the price of 1 PLEX in the PLEX store or in the AUR Store.

* Training an alternative character on an alternative account. This can be done by buying Skill extractors from the Aurum Store or the in game market. This strategy also require a PLEX (buyable with ISK or money) or a subscription for the activation of the account.

This gives us a total of 13 options, only three of them being ISK only and four being IRL currency only. The 6 remaining involve both ISK and Dollars.

We are now going to compare each option, using the equations below, this equation should include the amount of money you are willing to invest and the skill training point time:
