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 prerequisite and 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. 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.
