==What to Manufacture?==

Now that we have the required skills and an Epithal for moving our goods around, we need to choose what to produce with our PI planets. When it comes to what to produce, there is no single right or wrong answer. The markets and the demand for certain goods do change, however three broadbrush groups of PI commodities do turn a solid profit.

To ~~make the most money from~~ PI, ~~you~~ should ~~look at both~~ the local ~~market~~ and ~~the Jita market~~, ~~then compare what items~~ are selling ~~fast~~ with the ~~items that are selling for more ISK~~. ~~If you find something that~~ is both ~~quick selling and~~ for a ~~higher than~~ the ~~normal amount~~, ~~that is~~ the ~~product~~ to ~~manufacture~~.

To maximize PI profitability, comparisons should be made between the local and major trade hub markets to determine which goods are selling quickly, or which are selling with the highest profit margin. An item with high demand and lower supply is likely to meet both criteria. Players should account for time or effort for shipping goods to destination markets, which might involve contracting to a shipping service.

To maximize PI convenience, pilots within the NSC might avail of the [https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=212&t=121141 NSC Buyback] program as the final 'destination' for goods produced, which can be the simplest way to offload large quantities of PI materials. At time of writing, this program only accepts P2 products or higher.
