=== Investment ===

Initial costs will range from 371.8[[#Notes|M]] to 1,873.6[[#Notes|M]] [[EVE_Lexicon#ISK|ISK]] (mostly for [[Skill_trading#Skill_Extractors|skill extractors]]), which will be returned in 3.4 to 17.3 days. The only ongoing costs are for replacement extractors. The [[#Helpful skills for skill farming|helpful skills]] require about 2.6M skill points, which can take 39.5 days or more to train (depending on your [[Skills_and_learning#Attributes|attribute]] settings and on which you have already trained). Most are common market [[Trading#Skills|trading skills]]. Some travel is necessary to install [[Jump_clones|jump clones]], distribute [[Implants#Attribute_Enhancers|attribute enhancers]], and exploit market trends. {{dothis|'''Skill farming'''}} monopolizes the [[Skill_queue|skill queue]] on its [[Accounts|account]], but produces [[Skill_trading#Skill_Injectors|skill injectors]] which can be used by the other characters.

=== Alpha clones ===

{{dothis|'''Skill farming'''}} for [[Clone_states#Alpha_clones|alpha clones]] is possible but pointless. 5.5M skill points are required to use a skill extractor, but alpha clones are limited to 5M free skill points. So, an alpha clone must consume a large skill injector in order to produce one. Alpha clones can only extract skills that require [[Clone_states#Omega_clones|omega clone]] status (i.e., skills they can’t train in the first place), which limits their choice of a [[#Crop skill|crop skill]]. Several of the [[#Helpful skills for skill farming|helpful skills]] are unavailable to (or limited for) alpha clones, reducing their efficiency at {{dothis|'''skill farming'''}}. Therefore, this article assumes omega clone status.
