This guide briefly describes some typical options that many players pursue, together with likely incomes from them where estimates are possible.

==Combat==

== Combat ==

Combat is a core part of EVE Online. Many players thrive on honing their combat skills, either against other players or against NPCs.

===Ratting===

=== Ratting ===

As well as other players, New Eden is full of hostile NPCs which are nicknamed "rats" by players. These spawn at asteroid belts, in cosmic anomalies, and at [[stargates]]. Destroying rats earns direct ISK payments as bounty, as well as loot and salvage from their wrecks. Some rats drop items known as [[Security tags]] which can be valuable. Blowing rats up is called "ratting".

===Abyssal running===

=== Abyssal running ===

The Abyss is a mysterious area of space that can only be reached by using special "[[~~Abyssal_filaments~~|filaments]]" which teleport your ship into it. On entering the Abyss, players find themselves in a sequence of three pockets of space linked by gates and guarded by dangerous enemies. If players successfully defeat all the enemies and escape within 20 minutes, they can bring back valuable loot. If the 20-minute timer runs out, anyone in the Abyssal Deadspace loses both their ship and their pod ("capsule").

If players successfully defeat all the enemies and escape within 20 minutes, they can bring back valuable loot. If the 20-minute timer runs out, anyone in the Abyssal Deadspace loses both their ship and their pod ("capsule").

Abyssal Deadspace has significant elements of randomization. The enemies found in the Abyss vary with each run. The difficulty of the Abyssal and the nature of its different [[~~Abyssal_Deadspace~~#~~Weather_Effects~~|environmental effects]] can be roughly controlled by players by using different types of filament. Abyssal pockets also contain [[~~Abyssal_Deadspace~~#~~Localized_Effects~~|local hazards]] which players either avoid, or use against the NPCs. Up to three players can run an Abyssal together; some players accept a higher risk for higher rewards, and fly alone into Abyssals designed for three pilots.

Abyssals offer another type of challenging PvE combat with high risks and high rewards. The enemies found in Abyssal Deadspace are tough, often fast, and use electronic warfare on players, making them opponents who behave a bit more like hostile players than like many of the NPCs encountered in normal space. Pilots should plan their fits carefully and be aware of the risks of the Abyss before experimenting with Abyssals. Approached with a properly-fitted ship and a well-researched plan, however, Abyssals can be profitable experiences that also teach players more about core elements of combat in EVE.

===PvP===

=== PvP ===

'''Player versus Player combat''' ("PvP") is a fundamental part of EVE Online. Players can attack or be attacked by anyone at any time. Many players make PvP their main profession, and spend their time preparing and hunting for fights.

Line 88:

Some players choose to become pirates, and hunt down their victims to either pillage their goods or demand a ransom for their ship or pod. Hunting nullsec [[Careers#Ratting|ratters]] who use expensively-fitted ships and "[[Gate camps|gatecamping]]" chokepoints on trade routes can be particularly lucrative<br />

{{euninote|[[EVE University]]'s [[~~EVE_University_Rules~~#~~Rules_of_Engagement~~|rules of engagement]] permit members flying anywhere outside highsec space to engage anyone not allied with the University at will (so-called "Not Blue, Shoot It" rules). University pilots must uphold honesty and respect for others before, during, and after battle, but are welcome to learn PvP by doing. PvP opportunities are part of daily life at the [[Null-Sec Campus|nullsec]] and [[Wormhole ~~Campus~~|wormhole]] campuses, with fleet doctrines designed to make even characters with few skillpoints effective, and more-experienced pilots on hand to guide newcomers. Many types of ship loss in University fleets are covered by the University's [[~~Ship_Replacement_Program|~~Ship Replacement Program]], suitable ships are available nearly for free for new pilots, and for strategic operations the University provides free, pre-fitted ships.}}

===Scanning===

=== Scanning ===

Players can use their onboard scanner together with a probe launcher to [[~~Probe_scanning~~|scan down]] cosmic anomalies and signatures. These will contain either groups of pirate NPCs, resources such as gas clouds or asteroid belts which can be mined, secure containers or ruins with loot in them, or wormholes.

These will contain either groups of pirate NPCs, resources such as gas clouds or asteroid belts which can be mined, secure containers or ruins with loot in them, or wormholes.

Ruins and secure containers can be opened using archaeology and hacking skills in a [[hacking]] minigame. Lower-security areas tend to yield the most valuable loot and resources.

Line 122:

[[Exploration]] is easy to begin, requiring little ISK investment and only basic skills. There is an element of random chance in the contents of each site, but exploration sites can be a good source of income, especially for a new player. Exploring in dangerous systems or in [[wormholes]] teaches useful situational awareness skills, and the probing techniques used to scan sites down are transferable into combat probing for PvP. Seasoned explorers might want to try living permanently in wormhole space.

{{euninote|EVE University members can practise exploration at any of the university's campuses. Exploration will be more lucrative, but potentially also more dangerous, at the [[Null-Sec Campus]]. The [[Wormhole ~~Campus~~]] revolves around long-term, advanced exploration-driven PvE and PvP.}}

===Wormhole Living===

=== Wormhole Living ===

Pilots with the resources and resourcefulness necessary can set up bases in a wormhole system, exploiting the system's resources for PvE and mining, and using the randomly-generated connections to other systems to find more resources and opportunities for PvP combat.

The probing skills and knowledge of [[Wormholes|wormhole mechanics]] gained from scanning transfer well to this more advanced flavour of exploration. Wormhole life tends to involve some of many aspects of EVE: PvE and PvP combat, small-scale [[Careers#Manufacturing|manufacturing]] and [[Careers#Hauling|transport work]] all built on a core set of scanning skills. Because the destinations of the wormholes that open up are randomly determined, life in a wormhole system changes from each day to the next, providing fresh experiences and challenges that some capsuleers relish.

{{euninote|EVE University's [[Wormhole ~~Campus~~]] ("WHC") is based in a wormhole. Pilots who meet the WHC skill requirements can move there and experience flying from a wormhole base. The University also arranges excursions which let other students visit the campus and learn about wormhole living.}}

==Industry==

== Industry ==

[[Industry|Industrial careers]] are focused on gathering resources and creating ships and items (in some other MMORPGs equivalent activities are called "crafting"). As almost all of New Eden's economy is player-driven, many of the ships, items of equipment, and space stations used by players have to be made by someone.

Line 153:

Industrial careers can be pursued alongside many other activities, but they can synergize well with [[Careers#Trading|trading]].

Mining has a low entry barrier, but mining efficiency can be substantially improved by training the right [[Mining#Skills|skills]] and [[Mining#Implants|implants]], and using more advanced equipment and [[Mining#Ships|ships]]. [[Alpha clones]] can mine, although the only specialized mining ship they can use is the [[Venture]]. Players can mine either alone or as part of a mining fleet, and can produce a stable income stream doing an undemanding activity which is usually calm. However, miners are always vulnerable to attacks by other players as well as, in high-sec space, [[Can flipping|can flippers]], so it can be a risky profession.<br />

===Planetary Industry===

=== Planetary Industry ===

New Eden has thousands of planets, and players can [[~~Planetary_Industry~~|establish a colony on a planet]] in order to produce resources. The resources (or 'commodities') which are produced can either be sold in their raw form, or combined with other commodities to make more complex products. Ultimately these can be used to make fuel and parts for structures, boosters and components.

Planets in lower-security areas tend to yield more valuable commodities. Planetary Industry has a low entry barrier, although through training skills players can increase the number of planets and the efficiency of their colony. Planetary Industry does not normally require much active management once the colony is established, though it might require some hauling, and most players will use it as a passive supplement to their other income.

=== Research and Invention ===

Line 218:

Manufacturing in New Eden ultimately relies on blueprints. Players can carry out research to improve the efficiency of blueprints, making them more valuable, and they can also develop limited-run blueprints for much more advanced ("Tech 2") ships and equipment. Players work with dedicated research agents to obtain [[Datacore farming|datacores]], which can then be used in invention.

Well-researched blueprints can be valuable to the right people, and can be sold in their own right. Experienced characters with developed expertise in research and invention can find other opportunities: many large organizations in EVE also need people to manage and improve their libraries of blueprints and oversee their internal production.

==Business==

Business careers focus on moving and/or selling goods to make a profit. They make use of New Eden's player-to-player economy, which is large and complex enough that it has been studied by academic economists.

===Hauling===

=== Hauling ===

Line 244:

}}

===Trading===

=== Trading ===

EVE Online has a complex player-driven market. By investing their ISK correctly, players can make a profit from buying and selling goods. This requires nothing more than a little starting capital, a head for figures, and a grasp of supply and demand,

Many players dabble in trade, if only to sell manufactured goods or loot from PvE and PvP combat more profitably, but some make it their profession. Some traders focus on buying and selling goods in the same station; in extreme cases, a character might make significant profits without ever undocking. Other traders will buy items with a view to selling them elsewhere for a higher price, combining the work with [[Careers#Hauling|hauling]].

Trading can be very competitive, especially in high traffic areas such as [[trade hubs]], which can drive down profits. However, if a player identifies a suitable niche, it can yield a high income. Experienced traders are alert to the changing political and industrial currents which affect New Eden's economy, and manage hundreds of buy and sell orders. A specialized sub-group of traders sustain markets in parts of New Eden remote from normal trade hubs, earning significant profit margins in the process.

==Deception and Crime==

== Deception and Crime ==

Theft, trickery, and scamming can be a viable career option in EVE Online, and are not against the EULA. Away from the higher-profile combat exploits of mercenaries and pirates, the game has a vibrant underbelly of scammers. Note that harassment and real-life threats '''are''' forbidden, and players should remember the difference.

===Scamming and theft===

=== Scamming and theft ===

Scamming others out of their ISK or luring them into traps can be an exciting way for some people to play the game. Such deception can take many forms, and the wiki maintains [[Scams in EVE Online|a list of the most common]]. These include misleading contracts, selling goods for much more than they are worth, "ISK doubling" scams, enticing players into ambushes, requesting ISK in return for entry to a corporation, and infiltrating a corporation for the purposes of stealing their corporate resources.

==Administrative and Meta Careers==

== Administrative and Meta Careers ==

These careers involve either organising players or providing services for other players to assist them in playing the game. They tend to require few character skills, but significant personal skills from players themselves, alongside time and energy. Sometimes such work can be profitable in ISK terms, but often the real benefits are intangibles: friendship, experience, and connections throughout New Eden to allies and respected opponents.

===EVE journalist===

There are many third-party sites and podcasts dedicated to EVE Online. Many of them accept submissions and guest content from players.

Ultimately these can be used to make fuel and parts for structures, boosters and components.
 Planets in lower-security areas tend to yield more valuable commodities. Planetary Industry has a low entry barrier, although through training skills players can increase the number of planets and the efficiency of their colony. Planetary Industry does not normally require much active management once the colony is established, though it might require some hauling, and most players will use it as a passive supplement to their other income.

 Manufacturing in New Eden ultimately relies on blueprints. Players can carry out research to improve the efficiency of blueprints, making them more valuable, and they can also develop limited-run blueprints for much more advanced ("Tech 2") ships and equipment. Players work with dedicated research agents to obtain [[Datacore farming|datacores]], which can then be used in invention.
 Well-researched blueprints can be valuable to the right people, and can be sold in their own right. Experienced characters with developed expertise in research and invention can find other opportunities: many large organizations in EVE also need people to manage and improve their libraries of blueprints and oversee their internal production.

 {{main|Trading}}
 EVE Online has a complex player-driven market. By investing their ISK correctly, players can make a profit from buying and selling goods. This requires nothing more than a little starting capital, a head for figures, and a grasp of supply and demand,
 Many players dabble in trade, if only to sell manufactured goods or loot from PvE and PvP combat more profitably, but some make it their profession. Some traders focus on buying and selling goods in the same station; in extreme cases, a character might make significant profits without ever undocking. Other traders will buy items with a view to selling them elsewhere for a higher price, combining the work with [[Careers#Hauling|hauling]].
 Trading can be very competitive, especially in high traffic areas such as [[trade hubs]], which can drive down profits. However, if a player identifies a suitable niche, it can yield a high income. Experienced traders are alert to the changing political and industrial currents which affect New Eden's economy, and manage hundreds of buy and sell orders. A specialized sub-group of traders sustain markets in parts of New Eden remote from normal trade hubs, earning significant profit margins in the process.

 Theft, trickery, and scamming can be a viable career option in EVE Online, and are not against the EULA. Away from the higher-profile combat exploits of mercenaries and pirates, the game has a vibrant underbelly of scammers. Note that harassment and real-life threats '''are''' forbidden, and players should remember the difference.

 Scamming others out of their ISK or luring them into traps can be an exciting way for some people to play the game. Such deception can take many forms, and the wiki maintains [[Scams in EVE Online|a list of the most common]]. These include misleading contracts, selling goods for much more than they are worth, "ISK doubling" scams, enticing players into ambushes, requesting ISK in return for entry to a corporation, and infiltrating a corporation for the purposes of stealing their corporate resources.

 These careers involve either organising players or providing services for other players to assist them in playing the game. They tend to require few character skills, but significant personal skills from players themselves, alongside time and energy. Sometimes such work can be profitable in ISK terms, but often the real benefits are intangibles: friendship, experience, and connections throughout New Eden to allies and respected opponents.
