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 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.

=== Return ===

After initial preparations are completed, {{dothis|'''skill farming'''}} has the potential to [[#Potential income|return]] 3,044.5M ISK every 30 days (or 4.6M ISK per hour) on an investment of 1 day of game time. An EVE account costs 500 [[Accounts#PLEX|PLEX]] for that time. At an exchange rate of 3.2M ISK per PLEX, that’s 1,580.1M ISK. Therefore, it’s possible to gross ~~207~~.5% of the cost of that account with the skill points farmed by a single character. Deduct the cost of the account and profit would be 1,698.2M ISK = 2.4M ISK per hour = 107.5% of account cost. {{dothis|'''Skill farming'''}} with 2 characters on the same account simultaneously requires the purchase of a [[Accounts#Buying_Multiple_Character_Training|Multiple Pilot Training Certificate]] for 485 PLEX. 30-day profit from both characters would then be 3,443.8M ISK = 2.4M ISK per hour per character = 110.6% of account cost.
