To learn a skill, you need the relevant skillbook. If you did the starter missions from the [[Tutorial_and_Career_Agents_in_Eve|tutorial agents]] (and if you didn't, they're highly recommended) you will have been given some useful skillbooks. | To learn a skill, you need the relevant skillbook.

The main way to acquire other new skillbooks is from the market. You can browse the available skillbooks under 'Skills' in the Browse tab, or just search for a particular skill. Currently most skillbooks are sold by NPC corporations for a fixed price -- this is effectively CCP seeding them on the market. | The main way to acquire other new skillbooks is from the market.

You may see player sell orders for NPC seeded skillbooks too. If they're below the NPC price they're probably selling off books they bought in error; if they're above the NPC price they're probably hoping to trick someone into buying. Make sure you check the NPC price before buying an NPC-seeded skill from a player! | You may see player sell orders for NPC seeded skillbooks too.

Some skillbooks are not directly seeded onto the market. Instead they're acquired through the Loyalty Point stores of NPC corporations or from exploration sites. These tend to be more advanced skills, such as [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Small_Autocannon_Specialization Small AC Specialization], which lets you use T2 small autocannon. 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 for you to get these skills any other way, you may find that buying them from players selling them on the regular market is your simplest option. | Some skillbooks are not directly seeded onto the market.
