|
| | | Most MMOs frown on providing out-of-game services for in-game payment. Allowing any exceptions is seen as a slippery slope that ends with real money trading of in-game currency. EVE Online broke this convention by allowing players to exchange a very specific list of things for ISK. These include forum signature art, graphic and website design, website hosting and teamspeak server rental. If you have graphic artist talent, or technical support ability, you can earn ISK for your EVE characters by providing these services to other EVE players. |

| Combat
| |
| | |
| There are two main ways to start of a combat character. As this is a skill based game you don't want to jump into pvp right away. Best way to start is with some ratting or mission running. There are more extensive guides on this site into these areas but here we will just get you started with the basics, links are provided to the more advanced aspects of these paths along with charts, maps, and NPC (non player characters) stats.

| | |
| -Ratting-
| |
| | |
| Ratting is what is referred to when talking about killing NPC pirates in belts. To start off on this career you are suggested to stay in high security space (.5-1.0) while you get the hang of your ship and how to kill the rats. In this space you will not be able to be engaged by enemy players without concord coming in and killing them. The rats in this space are also relatively weak here, never the less they have the chance of dropping some decent isk items (into the multiple mil range. All rats in belts also have a isk bounty on their head, which will appear in your wallet about every 10 minutes or so adding all the bounties you got in the last 10 minutes.

| - Missions -
| |
| | |
| Missions are one of the most common things done on eve to earn isk. There are many different types of agents that offer different types of missions here is the LIST of them. For now we are going to stick to kill missions. You simply find an available agent inside a station on the agents tab. (use www.eve-agents.com if you need help locating one). Best types would be Command, Security, Internal Security, and Surveillance these all offer over 90% kill missions. You talk to the agent they will offer you a mission you can look it over see what you have to do, then accept. When you reach the system the mission is in rightclick in space and you will have a way point to warp to. Warp to it complete mission objectives and return home talk to the agent and collect your reward, rinse and repeat. Read the full article for a more in depth look into missioning and how to get your full isk potential out of it.

| | |
| -Mining-
| |
| | |
| Mining is by far the easiest way to get some isk, it is also very mundane. All you have to do is hop in a ship throw some mining lasers in the highs and head out to a belt. Target an asteroid, get within range and hit your lasers. To make the process go faster its best to jet a can into space and throw your ore into it then go get a hauler ship to come back and scoop it up. This will cut down on time as you will be making less trips back and forth. Sense most everything in eve is player made there is ALWAYS a market for minerals this is a guaranteed way to make some isk with little risk in highsec space.

| | |
| -Production-
| |
| | |
| Most items in eve are player produced so this is a good way to make some isk however at low skills you will not be able to turn a very high profit on t1 items. It is suggested if you want to enter into this field make some isk mining and or hauling first while your skills go up and you gain some net worth for the good blueprints.

| -Hauling-
| |
| | |
| Many would consider hauling a industry task, really though you are trading your time to move stuff, there is no real construction going on so it has been placed here. This is a easy career to get into as all you need is a cargo ship. You can find courier missions Archives, Distribution, Manufacturing, Storage, agents all give courier 90%+ of the time. You can also check the player courier contracts in the contracts tab. These most often require a collateral that at start you will not be able to afford most the time. This is a good place to start making some isk if you want to get into trade or production as you will make allot of contacts.
| |
| | |
| -Trading-
| |
| | |
| Trading itself is pretty easy concept buy low sell high. You can easily train up a good amount of buy/sell orders in a short time. At the start of the game you wont have much isk to play around with but if you familiarise with the items different regions you will notice some items will have sell orders but no buy orders. Throw up a regional buy order for these items at 1 isk buy 100 of them, over time anyone selling them will get your buy order some people will just hit sell. Easy way to make some passive money. Wont get allot with only 1 isk but anything given is worth way more because it can always be refined even if its of no use. See the long term marketing guides for more info on this.
