Buy Eve Online ISK

OK alot of whining going on about jihadswarm and selling ore to people you don’t want to, unfortunately buy orders are secret. Even though ISK is cheap, here is the trick to avoid handing those nice isk profit to them. Well yes and no! here is the simplest way to make sure you are not selling to a competitor/war target or jerk.

If you just mined 1000000 units of trit,usually you would hit sell and sell it to the highest offer, well instead change the quantity to 1 and sell that to the highest bidder. This will immediately show up in your wallet with the name of the person who placed the buy order. Then you can decide whether to sell the rest to him or repeat with the next one down. Usually the price difference is 0.01 anyway so not going to make a huge difference to profits.

simple aint it.

I ran into another interesting EVE Online Guide blog also. Check it out.

Requirements (for beginners)

Quite a bit of skills, but since most of them don’t take too long and most of them are essential anyway it’s not too much of a hassle. Of course, you gonna need some cheap ISK as a head start.

• Speed
  • Train Microwarp Drive. This way you can evade missiles and turret fire. In a frigate you can take down opponents much larger than yourself if you can rely on a speed advantage. This leads to…
  • High Speed Maneuvering I
  • Navigation IV
  • Afterburner IV
• Interrupts
  • Warp Scrambler (the -2 scramble is more likely to stop a target with a warp core stabiliser opposed to a Warp Disruptor), meaning…
  • Propulsion Jamming I
  • Navigation II
  • Electronics III
• Capacitor Power Relays (since a Microwarp Drive and Warp Scramber are quite a drain…), which means:
  • Energy Grid Upgrades II
  • Science I
  • Engineering II
• Slow Downs (optional)
  • Stasis Webfilter (no additional requirements for this one), though not necessary in asteroid belts, near planets, etc.
• A ship (.. surprise!)
  • Kestrel or Rifter. They allow lockdowns combined with decent speeds and fire power.
  • The Kestrel should be outfitted with rockets or standard missiles, depending on your personal preference
  • The same goes with guns and missiles for the Rifter
  • The Amarr and Gallente versions of those ships are a little more difficult to master and are inferior in regards to ship design

Hunting Locations

• In general 0.4 space and below. Look around less busy areas since those are the ones where the miners are usually hiding and keep your eyes open in local.
• Use your scanner to look for haulers and mining cruisers
• Once you found one either use the scanner to narrow him down (recommended - takes some practice but much faster once you got the hang of it), or skim the belts manually

Fighting

• Orbit your prey at your optimal range and engage your warp scrambler and weapons
• Convo him once you got him down to structure to ask for a ransom. Base your eve online isk request on the value of his ships, modules and the overall amount he would lose if he went down.
• Don’t pod-kill your target as the security status hit will prevent you from going into high security space again buy eve isk

Hidden asteroid belts are very common in EVE Online but its how to find them that is hard! There are two ways to find these hidden, the first is to keep a look out during missions: Many EVE ISK Price missions take you into dead space and can lead you to hidden belts. The second method is to go into a low sec system and conduct a directional scan but set it to the largest possible scanning range and at 360 degrees. This will reveal any hidden belts in the area, do this several times in the whole system to make sure you’ve covered everywhere. I found many hidden omber belts and some even in 0.7 space.

Chaining is mostly done in 0.0, doing it in higher sec is possible but quite pointless. It is usually not done in anything above 0.0 because in higher sec theres usually people that go through random systems killing rats, and 1 stupid person can mess up your entire day’s work on getting a system wide farm going.
But, I guess you could find a remote 0.1-0.3 system people may not normally goto.

So heres how you chain:
First off find a system that only you, or your buds are likely to hunt in and make sure they all understand whats going on. If you don’t make sure they understand what to kill and what not to kill, its gonna end up in a mess.

Once you have a system you want to farm, go through the belts. Rats in belts only spawn once you get to the belt, they aren’t persistant even though it may seem like they are. Once you, or anyone in the game gets within a certain range of the belt, rats spawn.

Once you have gone through all the belts go back to the top one and see what has spawned there, if nothing has yet, go to the next belt and give that belt a bit more time. Also, make sure you go down the list of belts and don’t just randomly go from belt to belt, it doesn’t affect the rat spawns, its just easier on you that way to remember what spawn is where.

Once you have a belt with rats in it, make an opinion on the rats. Judge their bounties compared to what you know can spawn there. ie: If you a spawn consisting of 3 battle cruisers ( @ maybe 250k EVE ISK each ) and 2 frigates (@ maybe 25k EVE ISK each), would you want that or would you rather have something better say 2 Battleships ( @ 1.2m EVE ISK each ) and 3 cruisers ( @ maybe 90k EVE ISK each ). If you would rather have a different spawn, completely kill off that spawn. Do not leave anything alive. Loot if you want to, or dont, it doesnt affect the spawn.

If you want to keep the spawn you found at that belt, kill all of the bigger things, ie: if you kept the spawn I mentioned above w/ the battlecruisers you would kill the battlecruisers and leave both frigates. You can kill 1 of the frigates, but I personally wouldn’t waste my time and just go on to the next belt.

If you were to have a spawn that consists of 3 battle ships and 2 cruisers. Kill the battleships and leave at least 1 cruiser.
Always leave at least 1 ship standing if you want to keep the spawn.

Do this through all the belts. Keep what spawns you like, kill off the ones you don’t. Eventually if you get lucky with your spawns, you can get a system of say 9 belts each with spawns of your liking. I have had a system where 5 of the belts had a spawn of 3x 1.8m battle ships, so me and my bud just went to each of the belts and killed the spawns except the frigs and then by the time we got to the 5th, the 1st was usually respawned.

However realize that if you farm, you have no chance what-so-ever to get an officer spawn. Unless you get lucky and when you kill off a spawn and it spawns. You cannot chain officiers, they wont respawn as the officier, but as a normal rat.
Although you cannot get an officier, you can get a faction ship. Ie: Dread Guristas / Dark Blood / etc.
You cannot chain them though, after you kill them, they will respawn as a normal rat. And what I mean by you can get them, is if you have a Blood Sage ( normal blood cruiser ) you kill and next time it respawns, it has a chance to respawn as a Dark Blood Sage (faction blood cruiser). However it will not ever respawn as an officier ( Officiers are named rats).
