Players also sometimes put up sell orders for NPC seeded skillbooks. If the order is priced below the NPC price, the player is probably selling off books they bought in error; if the order is above the NPC price, the player is probably hoping to trick someone into buying. It is good practice to check the NPC price before buying an NPC-seeded skill from a player sell order.

Some skillbooks are not directly seeded onto the market. Instead, they are acquired through the [[loyalty point store]]s of NPC corporations or from [[exploration]] sites. These tend to be more advanced skills, such as {{Sk|~~Small Autocannon Specialization~~}}, which lets you ~~use T2 small autocannons~~. Some players trade in these skills by finding them or buying them from LP stores where they have LP and then putting them up on the regular market for a profit. Depending on how hard it is to obtain these skills outside of the market, buying them from players selling them on the regular market can often be the simplest option.

Some skillbooks are not directly injectable or seeded onto the market. Instead, they are acquired through the [[loyalty point store]]s of NPC corporations or from [[exploration]] sites. These tend to be more advanced skills, such as {{Sk|Precursor Frigate}}, which lets you pilot the Triglavian [[Damavik]]. Some players trade in these skills by finding them or buying them from LP stores where they have LP and then putting them up on the regular market for a profit. Depending on how hard it is to obtain these skills outside of the market, buying them from players selling them on the regular market can often be the simplest option.

Updates in 2019 opened up another way to acquire skillbooks. Any skillbook which is available via an NPC-seeded sell order can instead be purchased and immediately injected via the Character Sheet skill page. Injecting skills directly from the character skill interface can be done anywhere, and is thus a useful option for pilots living in [[Wormhole space|wormholes]] and other logistically challenging places; to counterbalance this convenience, the price of taking this option is 30% higher than the standard NPC price, so pilots who can easily access NPC skill markets should continue to take that option if ISK is an issue.
