You can track the amount of RPs being created each day by your R&D agents by clicking on the Journal button on your [[NeoCom|NeoCom]], and selecting the Research tab. This will also tell you the amount of accumulated RPs you have amassed with each agent.

Periodically, go talk to your R&D agent again and tell ~~him or her~~ that you wish to purchase datacores. The agent will tell you how many you can afford, based on the number of RPs you have accumulated. All datacores now cost 100 RP each plus a 10k ISK/unit ~~fee~~. <ref name="devblog1" />

After ordering your datacores, transport them to a trade hub, and sell them there. ''Voilà'' - you have made ISK from datacore farming!

To maximize your ISK from your datacore farm, you will have to give it some care and feeding every month or so. If you are not earning what you would like to see from your datacore farm, consider these improvements:

*Train Research Project Management ~~all the way to V~~, so that you can access ~~six~~ R&D agents.

*Train Research Project Management skill, so that you can access larger number of R&D agents (up to six).

*Some corporations base their best Level IV R&D agents in low security space. Fly a cloaked ship, if you can, and take care in low-sec, as pirates like to hunt there!

*Some corporations base their best Level IV R&D agents in low security space. Fly a cloaked ship or travelceptor, if you can, and take care in low-sec, as pirates like to hunt there!

*Use the [http://hussars-online.ru/eve/datacore.php Profitability of R&D Agents] site to see what the current rankings are for your areas of science research focus. Try other sciences to see if you can make more ISK by training those and switch agents. See http://web.archive.org/web/20120423163839/http://evegeek.com/datacore.php as an additional resource.

*Train your Negotiation social skill to 5, to increase the payout of your R&D agents.

*Train your chosen applied science skills to 5, to improve the number of RPs generated by each agent researching in those skills.

*After increasing your Negotiation or applied science skill, you must open a conversation window with your agent to benefit from your new skill levels.

*Do the offered R&D missions, if you can - these will vastly increase your daily data-core production. The amount varies but can more than double your daily amount.

*Do the offered R&D missions, if you can - these will vastly increase your daily data-core production. The amount varies but can more than double your daily amount for that day. It will also increase your standing with the agent resulting in long term RP gain increase.

**The R&D missions vary in type: Not all are combat. Be aware some may take you into low-sec so pay close attention to the mission description.
