Eve Online - How I made 400 Billion ISK in 2023

[@ArcamStorm]

I enjoy your no nonsense approach to Eve videos with a decent easy to understand voice over, please keep this up :)

[@richardpriest3675]

bloody love your content , made me fall in love with eve again after a few shaky starts , so keep it coming!

[@serbrawl7981]

Bloody

[@altcache6571]

Great content. Keep up the good work. ISK is important, but fun is more.

[@strange_Net]

Thanks, always appreciated. Couldn't agree more chase the fun and the ISK comes in anyway .

[@Amathylar]

But you need ISK to have fun and blow stuff up.

[@theamericanaromantic]

Great video. You averaged about 4 hours of playtime a day and made about 1bil a day last year. You must really enjoy all the different things you do in EVE. Because if you make 700m/hr running T5 abyssals, you could make the same amount daily doing T5’s for just an hour and twenty minutes. Or of course you could run em for all 4 hours and make almost triple what you made last year if you don’t lose ships. Even though this would be a more efficient use of time vs ISK, you’d go crazy. I am like you. I need to do a little bit of everything anyway.

[@strange_Net]

Cheers man, Yea I need to mix it up for sure. 4 hours each day of abyssal sites for a year should like torture lol

[@trumpsextratesticle8590]

T5's still paying out 700Mill/hr? LOL Fucking hell CCP has Risk/Reward fucked up. Most of Null-sec activities would be lucky to break 150mill/hr.... Fuck this game.

[@RG-xv3wc]

Dunno how you're making 700m/hour off abyssals. Not even T6 gives you that much before expenses.

@frankdehaan9640 ah that makes a lot of sense, but T6 frig is really effort intensive.

[@alensash406]

this is entertaining in its own right. Good content

[@BWallin]

Grwat video and awesome job! Just a little tip. CCP send you emails at the end of the year breaking down your characters performances. Total isk gained and spent showing what perfent bracket of players your in for wealth among other things too. Maybe you can check your email and sift through them to find out your previous years performances. Good luck!

[@nicolaspace1182]

he shows that in the video, 1 minute in, even has it chapter tagged.

[@jono_cc2258]

I’ve recently been getting back into EVE and my usual revenue streams aren’t up and running so I’ve just been pottering about looking into new things like industry, mining and abyssals as I don’t have the time for w-space and can’t be bothered with sprawling PI set ups. Really enjoy your perspective and this was a good insight to the variety that helps to keep things interesting and avoids putting all your efforts into one area which may be subject to market fluctuations or game changes.

[@danielgranda896]

Thank you for this video, I have been getting into BPOs and BPCs selling this year and it is a solution for $$$ over time.

[@strange_Net]

Nice to hear its working out, nice thing about BPO research etc is that it can be scaled without much extra work if you have the spare characters to use.

[@danielgranda896]

@@strange_Net Funny that you mention that. I just started training Research on my 2 other accounts. I login daily but only have time to put some hours in a couple days a week. Love leveraging the research while I am offline. The BPs are very region specific it would seem.

[@daveberry7136]

Great video as always dude! Your last point is the one I always make to folks grinding hard, aiming for the big wallet number: unless you really REALLY enjoy it, you will burn out fast that way. Keep your isk making focussed on passive / afk stuff, and you can spend your time actually enjoying the game!

[@GokouZWAR]

Boring content, but good info to think about. So it’s worthwhile. Those that don’t listen, I think they’ve lost out on a lot of good thoughts. Thanks.

[@chrisklugh]

Its like most Eve Content, best be semi afk doing something else.

[@nathanleigh3486]

My ISK making game is Null Sec ghost sites, literally needle Jack around until I find one, refit my T3 in space to a tank and usually get 3 cans. I like it because it’s very passive and relaxed. Might make 1 Bil in a 3/4 hour session but again, very relaxed, listen to a audiobook in the background or something.

[@conner6273]

FYI a t2 fit cov ops can complete the whole site 9/10 times unless you get screwed by the timer, but with a quick align speed and no prop on whilst you hack you can just warp out when they land on grid

[@CaptainCalmer]

Thanks for the information and a great video for EVE context 🤙

[@pinktfatrabbit]

I switched from Machariel Smartbomb Ratting to Stormbringer. This reduced the isk on the field from 12b to 4b with the same isk/h (500mio/h)

[@TheChurch365]

Great job: Thanks a bunch.

[@bradb3245]

Very smart use of your assets and well done. It is a bit misleading however because clearly, it takes a LOT of isk to make a lot of isk. It does show what's possible though if you build up over many years and work hard. Now.. What are you going to do with all that isk once you have more than you could spend in 5 lifetimes:) That's the hard part.

[@Arc8972]

Me: running 9/10’s and 10/10’s in a 4b Golem getting dropped by 10-90 bombers for the lols. Gotta keep those pirates in line!

[@lordzizo375]

Mining Ice and Fuelblocks to get Rich Yesterday I produced in 1 go 250.000 Fuelblocks and Made over 8 Billion ISK

[@Jake-um4gg]

What do you need to do this? What sort of skills & investment does it take? I’ve played a few hundred hours over a few years and got 1bill isk and a rattle and couple of things worth maybe another 1/2

[@DK_Gaming84]

Really like your videos. I played eve back in 2016 but stopped due to real life stuff. I have just come back and finding your videos really helpful. With all your experience what would do if you started it all again from nothing?

[@strange_Net]

Join a starter corp like Eve Uni. Run low level abyssal sites while gaining skills. Do some frig pvp in cheap cheap ships. Training research skills to 7-8 and then slowly start buying low level BPOs to research and sell. Use profits to buy more expensive BPOs and improve profits. Then training some manufacturing skills and go from there.

[@yahrocket2]

@@strange_Net with all this knowlegde you should start a beginners series.

[@shaymcquaid]

Please keep this up :)

[@mporcar]

Nice breakdown of the isk methods, but you mentioned something about the abyssals t5 with frigates, is it solo? mind sharing the fit / details? thanks!

[@strange_Net]

I use 3x characters in 3x frigs so solo as in I do it but no solo as in only 1x character.

[@LonewolfTales]

Teach me senpai! No seriously, do you have a getting started guide for Eve or all the mining, industrial stuff? I consider starting to play this game and currently check out youtube and do research about the game and it´s current state. Looks all realy exciting.

[@Gamerznation704]

When did the summaries come in? I've been checking my mail ingame and haven't seen them :/. I try to learn from you in regards to industry, I don't do well but regardless I've learned alot from you. Thank you for what you do and hope you have a good new year!

[@Pedro.Chapps]

thats an insane amount of isk to make, i try sell some bpc but they dont seem to shift and there not over priced in around everyone else been up for best part of a month still not moved 🤣

[@strange_Net]

Yea I tend to avoid BPC TBH for that reason. Find them hard to sell.

[@ZeroWalker26]

I first want to say I love your videos and thanks for always bringing awesome content. I made around maybe 500mill isk in 2023 because I basically rarely played at all. What I wish is that I had the money or the isk to sub for a year so I don´t have to worry for a whole dang year if I got omega or not which means I could maybe enjoy eve allot more instead of worrying do I have 2.5bill for next month. Honestly it´s a bit the same with why I don´t play FFXIV that much even if I want to do it to finish the main quest but I rather not play because im like can I afford this month or not and sadly FFXIX does not have pay monthly fee with in-game cash. Yes you can play eve for free but honestly the things im enjoying in eve is locked behind omega. I mean I enjoy mining and l4 missions and do things in WH. Mining in a venture is utter crap if your not ninja mining in WH or such. Sure level 3 missions work but it´s the l4 yo want to do. And honestly I like being in WH but only when I can cloak up. So it just results in im not playing because im not sure when I can afford it or not. And the stress to manage to make 2.5bill till next month is utter dread and makes eve a chore. Reasons I enjoy Black desert and ESO allot more buy once play for ever and they don´t look 90% of the game behind monthly fee instead the give you some nice bonuses if you sub.

[@matthewoppp6881]

TBH if you can't afford to sub to a modern day mmo, its best not to bother. but eve isn't that bad, Of course you stand no chance against me or anyone else who is subbed skill and module wise. But you can pretty much do every peace of content in the game only really being locked outa l4s which i find stupid as its some of the worst money in game. Sure some real high level content won't be possible but that requires the isk you could easily afford to sub for free. eg t6 abyss to do that comfortable you need anywhere up to 6billion spent. If you are having fun playing Eve for the content maybe try alpha for a bit? things will be little slower bit less dps but its still fun

[@Rikzo]

How do you make the isk if you stockpile it all? Man that hanger looks nice... also casual 35k plex.

[@Clandestinemonkey]

you are plenty entertaining. good videos

[@Sturshi]

a gem

[@matthewoppp6881]

My problem with eve is i like to do new things all the time and never truly master anything. Like i just got my Vurgar running l4s in half the time i was before. Done maybe 40 missions, now im like ok whats next.

[@Novosadjanin82]

Kinda stupid question. I have all skills to fly Mastery 1 Retriever but I am Alpha. Is it worth using that 7 days free skill then buying the rig Which will probably cost a lot and trying to farm enough in those 7 days to make profit?

What is the a realistic ceiling for the income an Alpha character can make in Eve?

[@strange_Net]

Good question and one I dont know the answers to as Ive never played as an Alpha but Id imagine its quite limited which is by design.

[@VioletGiraffe]

@@strange_Net, fair enough, I thought so, either way I appreciate your reply. Perhaps, a better question is how long would it take for Alpha to be able to pay for Omega (and still make extra money from that point on), and what are good ways towards that goal. This could be further split into two scenarios, one where you bootstrap yourself and the other when you pay for one month with cash.

[@user-py9cy1sy9u]

I believe faction warfare has potential to be the most isk you can make as an alpha. Or null sec exploration.

[@piotrcyranowicz3023]

Alpha account can make 50-100m/h by wormhole exploration with 25m ship

[@VioletGiraffe]

​@@piotrcyranowicz3023, wow, that's amazing, thank you. The most I ever done in one hour was probably 120M, but more often it was 80 - that was before the alpha/omega status (incursions and null-sec ratting).

[@greybill]

1671 hours logged in equals about 19% of the year spent in game. That's about 4.5 hours each day. Conclusion: Spending a good bunch of time on Eve, can net a good bunch of results.

@@MyHandleDownThere if you think 400 bill are alot, you dont know much about the game lol, because 400 bill arent even pocket change to the actual rich people in the game. CEO in one of my friends corps own personaly 7 titans, and they are rougly 180 bill each. me and my production partner are quite heavily into industry, and we produce batches of ships worth 200-250 bill, and in order to do that you need big BPO library, stations and so on. we just bougth a station with rigs that cost us rougly 70 bill for capital ship production, and next investment we need to do are getting a sotiyo, that gonna run us rougly 110-120 billions. good rigged station for reactions gonna set you back rougly 30 bill and so on. i startet playing eve seriously around 2 years ago with practicly nothing. just had enough to buy a mining fleet and a ratting fleet when i joined my current corp, and now my net worth are grown quite abit. really hard to know exactly, but should i guess, rough estimate are around 500-600 bill, and thats after ive donated and given away atleast 70-80 bill last year. allso what you need to keep in mind, is that the more you have, the easier it is to invest it to make even more.

[@caffeinejavacode1475]

How to farm BPs?

[@thekingofreapers]

All who are new to EVE please know that this is NOT with a single account. Making 400B or more or high isk in general, you need to multibox. Don't look at these numbers and think a solo can do this easily. EVE, unfortunately when it comes to making isk, is quite a cooperative game unless you make yourself the best recruit lol met a dude who had 20 accounts

[@strange_Net]

As pointed out in the video this was using 10 accounts.

[@thekingofreapers]

@@strange_Net oh no stab was taken towards the video. I'm a 2008 player who's been single boxing till about 2016 or so. There's no way to do this game without a multibox or a large enough corp/alliance willing to spend time to help someone get isk. It's kinda disappointing
